/sci/ - Science & Math

I am making an amplifier to drive a speaker. i am confused by power rating on speakers. they have a rated power and a max power. what should i design around? example is https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/mallory-sonalert-products-inc/PSR-23F08S-JQ/458-1124-ND/2071440

I found an RGB strip with a reciever and no transmitter, so I'm working on building the latter. Just looking for an old remote control I can take apart, cause I'm broke.

Rated Power I'm pretty sure, but I didn't study power in college so Idk, I'd probably wait on that.

>>11820297

Definitely rated. Max is ok for short term, rated is for reliability.

You want feal mathematics? Try Gary Stephens " Non linear Algebraic Theorems" that will grow some hair on your balls.

>>11820297
rated. max is for peak mitigation. never ride on the edge of your spec

Trying to fix an x-ray machine by reading the service manual and diagram. I finally powered it up. Now reading how TF I'm supposed to test this crap.

About a cup a day.

>>11820297
Max generally refers to what peak power it can accept before releasing its magic smoke. Always design around rated.

>>11820286
nothing. just wasting time in this shitty website.

Reminding /sci/ that we've been able to print 600 Watt brushless motors for the past three years now with hobby equipment.

digging some papers for my undergrad project in audio signal processing

as EECS is becoming the standard, I'm taking a path to deep learning/computational intelligence

Troubleshooting a $40 switch mode power supply because I'm broke. It's not the capacitors help

have a radio frequency circuit design exam in a couple of weeks... I'm scared boys

Waiting for parts to ship

Wondering why I even got my degree, considering I cant get a job even with expeirece, projects, and an overall good resume.

>>11827186
Post a picture of degree with a timestamp then.

>>11827260
what does that even prove

>>11827346
That his opinion has merit behind it, and that he isn't some shitposter trying to collect (You)s.

>>11827359
That makes sense to me

>>11827389
Wow, anon delivered. Do you dislike Computer Engineering individually, or do you hate engineering in general?

>>11827407
No, I like it a lot. I knew I wanted to do this way before I even knew it was a lucrative career path. What sucks, is that everything’s economically fucked right now.

>>11827414
Fair, isn't that with everything right now though?

>>11827425
That’s true, I’m just ranting I guess at the current state of things.

>>11827455
I guess you're entitled to that. Sucks for this to be the time that covid hits.

>>11827186
what experience do you have, and what jobs are you looking for?

>>11827389

>in NY
can you even do any jobs remotely?

Switching from mech e to ee since i suck at statics and 3d force diagrams, plus i already have several cs courses under my belt and i liked learning about electricity and magnetism in my physics course. Right now im trying to learn embedded programming with a ti msp430, but i wanna hear from you guys what subfields of ee you are currently working in or are interested in moving into since i dont really know shit about ee besides the barebones kiddie circuits in my physics class.

What differentiates an EE from a well-studied hobbiest?

>>11828433
EE covers a much broader range of subjects than electronics, as well as has a better understanding of the underlying physics that’s needed when designing circuits (generally)

>>11820286
Currently still learning, simulating circuits in LTspice and making them in KiCad, noob stuff.

Is it reasonable to apply for an EE job without a degree? I could provide circuits I designed and soldered, list resources I learned from, provide a personal website, maybe do some videos etc. Would that suffice? I'm from Europe but can move anywhere for a job.

Also, took me half a minute to realise those are tits, am I gay?

>>11828433
Generally math, and deeper physics understanding

>>11828433
this does

>>11830733
honestly don't understand why this isn't taught in HS. Euler's formula is useful and intuitive af
