| directional cables? Like I've been saying all along, give me one example besides AC where flow is used to describe periodic motion.Just so you won't have any more excuses to avoid answering the two simple questions I put to you.ALTERNATING FLOW of Non-Newtonian Fluid... | |
| directional cables? I asked two simple questions which required no more than two simple answers. Instead of answers to those questions, I get personal attacks.I'll try one more time.I flip the switch one way for ten seconds.First question: Is there any "current" "flo... | |
| directional cables? I will now prove that the definition you are hanging your hat on describes motion in one direction.As I said previously, at any given time, the motion IS IN ONE DIRECTION. Not in two directions, or five directions or a dozen directions. But ONE DI... | |
| directional cables? HermanHow pompous is that? You give me permission to address you only if I do so in a manner you approve?If I say something in a particular context, and you wish to take issue with it, then yes, I expect you to do so in the same context in which i... | |
| directional cables? HermanThank you for coming up with an example that conclusively proves my point. That flow is a poor choice to describe what we call AC current.Conventional wisdom says, as you and others have pointed out, that in order to have current flow you mu... | |
| directional cables? HermanI'm sticking with the idea that flow means something moving in one direction.But it doesn't mean that the direction never changes. Electric current is always flowing in one direction at any given time. The only difference between DC and AC i... | |
| directional cables? HermanIf you take the time to read and think about my last few posts you will see my point has nothing to do with fuses or motor plates or amp clamps or anything like that. It only has to do with the fact that "flow of alternating current" makes n... | |
| directional cables? HermanTo describe a back and forth motion as flow is just plain wrong. Use flow in a sentence that describes a back and forth motion. You can't do it.Sure I can. "Under AC conditions, electric current flows alternately in one direction and then th... | |
| directional cables? HermanI get it now, you have redefined the word flow to suit your purpose.I've done no such thing.Everybody else in the world defines it as something that is moving forward, progressing.No, they don't.I would say that energy flowed in an AC circui... | |
| directional cables? AlmargYes, it does. That is an excellent explanation, and as far as I am concerned our positions are now converged.Thank you. I'm glad were were finally able to uh... converge. Was it good for you *he says lighting up a cigarette*? ;-) | |
| directional cables? HermanUH, yes you did. That has been the crux of the disagreement. Please go back and read through the thread and you will find this exchange.Me.......Because the electrons do not flow in a power distribution system.You.......Yes, they do. There w... | |
| directional cables? AlmargSimply_Q, my statement, to which you agreed, implies that there is no "net" drift, just a drift back and forth over some small distance, the location of which remains essentially unchanged for any given electron.To understand why I use the t... | |
| directional cables? HermanHe is convinced in AC that there is a net flow of electrons from source to load.I never said any such thing. Please don't put words in my mouth.Mr, Q, has anybody come to your defense? No they have not. Why? You are wrong.....No one coming t... |
