Highlights this week: wake turbulence, wire harnesses, and machining cubes.
- 🔗 Last issue’s most-clicked link: Really neat video of a high fidelity CFD simulation.
Interesting Links 🔗:
- Sweet video visualizing wake turbulence by using a paper airplane. Good explanation of the invisible and nonlinear forces planes leave in their wake.
- Great introductory e-book on designing aircraft wiring harnesses.
- Step-by-step design of RC snubbers and RCD clamps for power supplies. The circuit operation, practical considerations and all equations are presented as well as details of how to obtain all the unknown parameters in the equations.
- Electric Current Exposed - the myth and the mystery of electrical energy propagation. This video apparently exposes “the false theories of Electricity that are being taught in schools and universities all across the world”.
- Remarks on Executing a Modern American Industrial Strategy. Inspiring writeup of a talk on rebuilding America’s industrial base through public investment in the microelectronics supply chain to better permitting for factories and more.
- Cool video showing how to machine a cube using a lathe. Straightforward video with a surprisingly in-depth and easy-to-follow explanation of the process steps involved. Machining can be incredibly laborious and require some creative thinking + operator experience.
- Super in-depth presentation on PCB design from Daniel Beeker, FAE at Freescale Semi/NXP. Component placement, transmission line routing, EMC considerations and testing, use of planes, and much more.
One Interesting Picture 📸: shameless plug but really proud of what we’re building
