No doubt. I can do all of that stuff, and even more. See, my 1st? job was working on a drill rig, taking core samples for a road in Tennessee. After that I worked in a body shop, painting and repairing cars. I then became an electrician. Then eventually, I destroyed my back, so I went to school and became an engineer. While studying engineering, I bought a huge bulldozer, and fixed it up. Oh, I forgot to say I worked for my grandfather in high school, running bulldozers,& dirt pans

I should be out playing with my new toy, but, it is still pretty humid and hot out during the day here. I just got a lincoln MIG welder, 30 to 180 amp. Also got me a good dewault cut off saw, purchased some oxy-acetalene tanks when getting the inert gas cannister for MIG. Had torch set from years ago. And, I went and got a bunch of steel channel, angle iron and tubing yesterday from local metal supplier. I wish it was a tad cooler, I would be out there striking up an arc.?

No doubt, it is definitely hot out there. We got a rain last night and this morning,? which cooled things off for now– at least until the sun comes out and warms it up again, then it will be miserable muggy!

Question: Can you fix dead Netbook chargers? My netbook is near out of power and? I don’t want to buy a new charger.

There is nothing in this world that I have found that I could not fix actually. Of course it helps that I am an electrical engineer and have the mind to fix other? things as well.

aren’t they rectifiers?? diodes are for restricting flow to one direction if im not? mistaken.

No they are not. They’re diode, when put together like this, a half bridge to be precise. See I am an electrical engineer and did not misspeak, and you are correct,? diodes work as a “one-way valve”.

That is exactly what they are doing. I understand that it doesnt look like a normal diode. It is just a diode that I got from a job I worked at, and they had a higher rating than any I culd find. I just wish that you would learn to believe me, I am an electrical engineer for christ sakes, why would I lie to you or not know what I am talking about. It is a diode because to make 24 vdc you need to have 2 of them hooked up? as a half wave rectifier, like I have here.

dude, a rectifier is made out of? diodes
