The one I designed ran DC one way for a half second or so, then DC

This is not SOP, in fact the agreements for most card companies
specifically state that the vendor may not ask for any identification
over and above the card itself.

We'll have to disagree. I've seen 95% of Scott's topics up-front and
personal, if perhaps a few years earlier than he. They are funny because
we laugh at ourselves. There isn't really much unpredictable about Dilbert
at all. PHB and all. He "merely" captures and amplifies life.

Likewise. Note that challenging prediction isn't the same thing as
being unpredictable. White noise is completely unpredictable, and
so is completely uninteresting. It just means being only partly
predictable - in Dilbert's case, "amplifying life" in an unpredictable
way - offering the opportunity to *extend* our predictive ability.
Same for art and music.

What's with the bizarre x-post list?
 
Seems to me I remember some sort of FCC regulation that said:

Less than 100 mW DC to the final amplifier and less than 2 Ft antenna


================

It was something of that order, which when considering final efficiency
and the small radiating element would make the device meet the radiated
power spec for unliscenced operation.

In any case, a setup like that, particularly indoors, would be no problem
as far as the FCC is concerned. The RF signal isn't going to get very far.

I know this question probably comes up a lot, as I've noticed from the

I want to build a very short range transmitter for operation in my
living room. Basically, I want to take the output of my subwoofer
channel from my home theater reciever and convert it to a digital
signal for broadcast to another part of the room. I'd like to be able
to hide the subwoofer and relocate it as needed without having to
reroute wires.
Click to expand...
"Hide the subwoofer and relocate it as needed"?

1) Hide it from whom?
2) Do you even know what a "subwoofer" is?" If so,
3) Why would you want to relocate it in the first place?
4) As needed by whom? For what?

And once you answer all these questions, then throw away all of the
answers and use an inductive loop with a plain ol' they come in every
amplified PC speaker audio amp.

Don,
Your previous comment (Jan 3, 8:32 am) implies you are interested in
current flow that is due to electrical boundary conditions on opposite
sides of the sheet. Is that correct?

Your original post said.."Here are the corresponding
resistivities for some nominal inch thicknesses:

.031 in ---> 300 ohm-m
.062 in ---> 150 ohm-m
.125 in ---> 75 ohm-m
.188 in ---> 50 ohm-m"

I may have mis-interpreted this as meaning you are interested in
current flow between electrode areas separated in the plane of the
sheet. The resistance one would measure perpendicular to such a sheet
will depend on the size and lateral displacement of the electrodes
relative to the thickness of the sheet.

Perhaps your question was much simpler: if I had a material with a
bulk resistivity of 75 ohm-m and gave you a piece in the shape of a
.125" thick sheet is that all you want?
If so, how large a sheet? Flexible or rigid? Durable?

Yes, that's all I want. I would prefer sheets as large as possible...in
roll form would be great. It doesn't have to be super-flexible, but I don't
want it brittle like glass either. It will be applied to a slightly
irregular surface, but generally planar...maybe sort of like a large
airplane wing. It will not be subjected to much abuse, but it might be
exposed to normal outdoor temperatures.

So far I'm leaning toward some conductive plastic sheet material that
McMaster-Carr carries. But only because it's all I've found yet (and it
only comes in 12" x 12" sample sheets". That's why I was wondering if one
of you clever guys might have heard of something else that I missed.

In that case, try the conductive anti-static foam sheets (24 inch by
12 inch by 0.25 thick) that Jameco carries; part 13864 for $9.29 ea or
$8.35 each @ 5. They roll it up for shipping.
Measured resistance across diagonal with probes close to the corners,
is about 8K.
