Q:According to the Vancouver Sun interview with Gavin;Q: What is the future for waterfront cities like Vancouver?A: You are going to have to put up with rising sea levels; they are not going to go down. But there’s a huge difference between a foot or two over 100 years and a metre or two metres. There’s a lot of waterfront development going on but is it sea-level-rise smart? I don’t know that it is. So don’t put stuff in the basement, have all your electrical equipment on the second floor or on the roof.

That sounds a bit simplistic. There are houses in Europe that are periodically flooded with little problem, but they are older brick or stone-built structures that pre-date electricity. Vancouver homes with gypsum wallboard and carpet or hardwood floors aren t going to fare so well.

Q:electrical equipments like resistor,capacitor, transistor, etc

you have to go to asan you kind find many stores selling them. You just go to asan and ask for anyone there they will tell you the way correctly.

Q:do mechanical engineers also get involved with electronics?

Engineering is usually a team sport. The mechanical engineer consults with the electrical engineer for the development of the product, then it gets reviewed for approval by the principal engineer.

Q:hi guyscan you explain in simple words what is earthing process and how it helps to secure human from detected current.thanks

Earthing system helping for Human safety to avoid electrocution due to earth leakage.Earth is acting like a Huge conductor because of it minerals Moisture contend (water).If any electrical equipment Insulation failure leakage will be there ,if the same equipment is not Grounded ,there is a possibilitiesof getting electric shock to Human.If the same equipment is Grounded the leakage current will flow to Earth protect from electric shocks Trip the circuit. Pl. check this link for brief idea.

Q:Electrical system in a residential building. When we use any equipment on one phase the lights on that phase dim down but and the same time the lights on the second phase become brighter.

The voltage on loaded phase dips on the account of starting current of equipment. This problem is specifically critical in case of motors. So the dimming brightening happens because of unbalance is 3 phases of the installation. This condition is completely normal keeps happening always.

Q:I might be starting a job doing industrial electric, and I want to make sure I can read the blue prints good. I am recently graduated from high school and have a vo-tech background in electrical, only no blue print reading. I know how to read schematics, ladder diagrams, and residential blue prints, but how different are industrial and residential blueprints? Does anyone know a site where I can look at some industrial electric blueprints? I know when i get there they will be able to teach me how to read it, but I figured I would try to save everyone some time and see what I can figure out before I get there.

Hope this helps!

Q:i am currently working as a dog groomer, but i have been thinking of starting my own small business for a few years now. some ideas i had are dog walking, gardening services such as mowing lawns, weeding and planting, illustrations (i went to college for art), or hair cutting.are any of these ideas worth pursuing? what is required to start your own small business? if you started your own small business do you have any tips for me? how did you get started? thank you!

I started my business of repairing electrical equipment for the welding industry in 1985. All I did was fill out the DBA form (Doing Business As) at the county clerk office, and then got my sales tax exemption from the office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts. That's all of the legalities. It's easy! With this done, you can then open your company checking account at the bank. Now, With a college education in art why would you want to walk dogs or pull weeds for a living? I would think something like the Advertising Business would be a better use of your education and a lot more profitable venture.

Q:I think that I might have opened a portal into another world. Yesterday I heard a recording off of the internet that didn't exist! Weird. Also, I have been hearing voices and sounds coming from the room where I think that the portal was opened. I am so freaked out. I have a lot of excess electrical equipment in this room and I feel a little bit uncomfortable with that. I'm wondering if the equipment is making me feel weird too. Does anyone have a similar experience? What should I do? I don't want to hang out with spirits!
