Author: Greg Poole Affiliations: Industrial Tests, Inc., Rocklin, CA, USA. ABSTRACT Planets are interconnected via magnetic field lines, which allow flux transfer events. In this paper, a thought experiment is performed whereby the Sun and planets are visualized as a violin with magnetic field lines analogous to strings of the violin. Frequency calculations for vibrating

In this presentation, I will provide a possible electrical explanation for the Earth’s planetary operation.

In one of our earlier blogs, we discussed circuit breakers and what they do. So, to reiterate what we said, circuit breakers are basically electrical components that stop the flow of electricity within a circuit for the purpose of safety. For instance, if there’s an overload, the circuit breaker will literally “break” the circuit to

In our last blog, we discussed the importance of carrying out load-bank testing for your generator. We also promised you that we’d be discussing the equipment used for load bank. Well, the primary equipment used in load bank testing is a load bank. So, what are load banks? That’s what we are here to find

If you have a generator, you need to make sure that it runs efficiently. This is important if you want the generator to continue running for as long as possible and more importantly, be reliable. However, most generators are rarely used. They sit in a corner waiting for that one downtime event. Now, that’s a

Electrical safety should be a priority in the workplace, especially if the workplace is home to heavy-duty electrical equipment. The last thing you need is an accident that puts employees at risk. There are all kinds of electrical hazards and dangers out there. The best way to prevent trouble is to be aware of these

As energy resources start to dwindle, the responsibility of ensuring that we are able to conserve what little we are left with rests on the shoulders of everybody, especially businesses. Sometimes, businesses make the expensive mistake of thinking that heavy energy consumption is just the price of doing business. Well, that’s a completely wrong assumption

When we hear of landfill, there’s only one emotion that we tend to conjure up – disgust. But, in the near future, “disgusting” landfill can actually turn out to be a precious energy resource, thanks to new technologies. We are specifically referring to a new and hope-offering process called “gasification”. Gasification is a process where

Microgrids are basically a collection of energy sources that are situated within a given area. These microgrids are typically connected to the national grid. However, they can operate without support from the national grid when a disconnection occurs. A good example of this is a power outage. Microgrids are made up of multiple energy generation

You’ve probably been told or asked to get your electrical service systems maintained every now and then. But, for some reason, you’ve been putting it off. Now, we aren’t going to try and figure out why you’re doing this. The reasons may be many and lot of them may even be legitimate. However, what we
