No. The only issue is if they own the IP. The line of distinction is actually quite hazy when it comes to magnetics, wire coupling and such. They have much more flexibility when I do papers or presentations on wildly different things like semiconductor thermal analysis or wooden gear clock manufacturing or isochronism technology of various escape mechanisms for clocks, less flexibility when magnetic design and testing is involved, and even less if superconductors or nanotech stuff is involved. Ground loop and t-line stuff, I've never tried to push that envelope.

They might be. In the early days when they actually decided to put a web page together, I had to put up 6 or 7 different web pages with writeups for various projects. But over the years they change the site, so lots of it tends to get put where only internal access is possible, or from other labs.
Nowadays, I've no idea what the IT guys are doing.
ps..but honestly, that stuff is really only useful if you suffer insomnia, it's rather audience specific.

Ed, another point..
I'd love to know.

When you did this, you had the amp end open I assume. The next time you are dealing with this, try loading the tweeter cable at the amp end with a few different resistance values, and plot the voltage vs resistance. That way you'll be able to put a thevenin equivalent, as well as determine the coupling constant vs frequency. You'll be able to get a better feel for what type of coupling it really is, mag or ele. If it's mag, you'll have more current with the line loaded, as e coupling will simply die out under load.
I'd love to know.
And yet your guy wires that as LV? Aside from code worries, I'd also think ampacity.

That was a fun one, not my presentation however.
What was cool, was that was a very small model of a supercon magnet, they made the iron form using wire EDM, which is just soooo cool..
Just a two day effort really.

Nope.
two inches diameter, 3 inches long, no biggie...
Although I also get a kick out of everybody playing that man month thing around, in reality, if JC simply started providing data without experience on the machine, I'd probably be at the top of the pigpile.
So, I'm happy to wait to see what he does..

He already did. Don't remember those tantalum capacitor measurements he tossed out a while back?
Say it with me now. "Man months." 😀

It takes 'man-months' to learn a sophisticated piece of test equipment well enough to do something original and exotic with it, and that is what I hope to do. It would be a waste of time and money to attempt less.
"Exotic." That's right up there with "quantum" and "nano." Just more smokescreen BS for the rubes.
I don't care what piece of equipment you've got, it doesn't take spending over 720 hours with it to learn how to use it.
To put that into perspective, to achieve one man-month, you would have to spend eight hours a day, seven days a week for three months doing nothing but learning to use the piece of equipment. And that's just one man-MONTH, not "months" as you have kept saying.
You're certainly not spending eight hours a day, seven days a week learning how to use your new toy, so in terms of actual time, I guess we can't expect to hear anything from you for at least a year or more.
And all this just to measure A BLOODY CABLE!

The response seems to be almost unanimously positive which is interesting considering the risk to shareholder value, he must at least have consulted the board of directors. Great for PR but the Tesla is not exactly a model for the everyperson car.
For it to work (ie electric vehicles) the refueling issue has to be solved and building s network is going to be expensive. No help from the petro companies on that one!
Watch it in its entirety, particularly the last three minutes; and then comment, if you feel like it, or simply ignore it by just passing by.

You will see busyness models in the future that have no connection to what we think is important nowerdays.
One thing that has already changed is that we life in a world of " open secrets " because of the internet. There really is no secret any more unless you close your senses.
So what are you talking about here ? Old men hitting on each others heads ?
