So far I think itstoast gave the best answer. I would like to add this to help clarify.
All motors should have a nameplate with all the information you requested. There should be information for the voltages, FLA or RLA (Full Load Amps or Running Load Amps), and LRA (Locked Rotor Amps) for...
You could increase the run time of the UPS by increasing the amp-hours of the batteries. However, your UPS is only rated for the batteries they already have. It would be best to buy a larger UPS that is rated to handle the larger batteries.
Another thing that would affect runtime is...

Chill out man, it's not the end of the universe. You're right. "Potential DIFFERENCE (relative)" isn't the same as "Potential (absolute)"; just like "Temperature DIFFERENCE (relative)" isn't like "Temperature (absolute)".
I was using "potential" in the "absolute" context in my...
Electrically speaking, potential and voltage are the same. The only difference is the way each "term" is used to discribe a given scenerio. When you talk about voltage, you're generally talking about doing work with it. When you talk about potential, you're generally talking about relating one...
Permeable (ferrous/ ferromagnetic) materials can guide magnetic flux to a point, but magnetism works better with area. The only way I can think of "concentrating" magnetic flux is to create a coil of wire with electricity flowing through it. Permanent magnets have a set flux strength. They will...
What determines if something is transparent versus being reflected or refracted? It's said that photons are absorbed and reemitted, but what determines the angle of re-emission? How does the photon know when to pass through, reflect, or refract?
The spherical nature of subatomic particles...
I'm running Windows XP Pro w/ SP2. The so called "firewall" has slowed my broadband down considerably. I was told that if I had a router, I didn't need Window XP's "firewall". Is this true?
Everytime you add an additional load (in parallel), you create a new path for current to travel. Now the circuit is not limited by the value of resistance of the first pathway. It's been bypassed in a way limited by the resistance value of the second pathway. So, the total value of resistance...
Thanks Chronos, I enjoyed the sites given (especially the first one). It would seem that both reflection and refraction occur at a ratio of each other depending on the material being observed. I'm going to look further.
What is it that makes a photon find its way straight through transparent materials, but reflect away from materials with polished surfaces? Photons are absorbed by electrons, then re-emitted. What determines the angle of re-emission?
Brown is a mixture of Orange and Green.
Cones are for color (Red Cone, Green Cone, & Blue Cone) and Rods are for Black & White. There are more Rods than there are Cones for each color. That's why we see the stars at night in black and white. If we had enough cones, we could tell what color...
Chronos,
Anyone who has said anything in only words in this forum concerning any kind of theory always results in someone saying they're speaking "bull-speak". Show me otherwise.
I agree that math is nearly the only way to pose a theory properly. What I'm talking about is helping the...
Axawire,
Your explanation was very good. I'm sure you could have said the same thing with an equation, but I'm glad that you resisted. There are many here who miss out because some only "speak" with math. I've tried to speak in layman terms to others who want to learn, only to be bashed at...
