Ground is no longer at ground potential

Considering this, is the sun AC or DC? Is it LED, Florescent or Incandescent? Does it contain batterier or capacitors to keep it lit? Does anyone operate a sun control panel to keep the brightness on the same level, and color? And what is the voltage, amperage and wattage of the sun?

Reminds me of the April issues of Radio Electronics back in the day...

Thanks!

Do you still have a spouse, or any friends?

What sort of stuff did they have? I may have to look andf see if they are archived. I know all the popular electronics can be viewed or downloaded online.

I hope we can all agree, all days of the year, that the sun is incandescent! With a daylight colour temperature...

I expect someone has worked out the wattage. It will be an astronomical number.

Did I ever tell you that you're a wonderful explainer?

I wish I had a reason to learn photonics so I could justify spending some neurons to read your book..

Thanks.

I had a friend who was in a grocery store with is wife. While she was shopping he was wandering around. Thinking that he had to do something special for April-1, he went over to the desk and bough a lottery ticket, for his wife, with the previous day's winning numbers. When he found her, he fished the ticket out of his pocket and told her to check it when she checked out and continued to wander around. A few minutes later he heard her scream from across the store. Not sure if they're still married, though.

I have a feeling that if anyone touched the sun, they would be electrocuted.....

I hope you guys enjoy this ancient specification writen by someone at my old employer, a computer manufacturer once upon a time...

While you're there, this is a circuit I designed back in the early 1960s for a rather strange purpose. I'd be interested to know if anyone has seen it before.

Looks like a load of old balls to me.

I MEGO on a lot of the optics in Phil's book (entendues and such) but the photon budget stuff is comprehensible, and there's some really good stuff about electronic design.

It's roughly half electronics, which makes sense since the world is half electronics.

Yes, if you know about the theorem about combing a hairy ball the whole thing seems less convincing!
