Working in the vicinity of electrical equipment poses an hazard. In addition to electric shock hazard, fault currents passing through air causes Arc Flash...
GE have put together a time-lapse video shown flight take-off and landings at some airports. An interesting view:
The International System of Units (abbreviated SI) is the world's most widely used system of units. The system consists of a set of units and prefixes...
These lifts were first built in 1884 by J. E. Hall and called a paternoster ("Our Father", the first two words of the Lord's Prayer in Latin) due to its...

The European Union is implementing a voluntary code of practice for participants with the aim of improving the overall efficiency of data centres. As part...
Photovoltaic (PV) systems are typically more efficient when connected in parallel with a main power gird. During periods when the PV system generates energy...
When current flows within a wire, a magnetic field is created. The potion of this magnetic field perpendicular to the wire is called the magnetic flux...
Three phase systems are derived from three separate windings, either connected in delta or star (wye). Each winding can be treated separately, leading...
