I don't know what _you're_ looking at, but I clearly see omegas. That
is, the greek symbol used to indicate resistance.

It is obvious, however, that you are clearly ignoring the fact that
the orig poster, and many others see the W symbol.

I'm ignoring nothing. I can understand L'Angel being confused because
she's a newbie, but regardless of what a big-time (snicker) engineer
like you (snicker) or anyone else _saw_, it should have been obvious
from the context that 'W' meant omega for ohms. I'm surprised you're
not railing on and on about that it must have meant 2pi*f, but I suppose
you haven't got there yet...

Yes, but a range of resistances is available and necessary so that the
motor can come to a more or less graceful halt.

Not really. Banks of resistors can be set on a conductor rail, and
hooked up in sequence, in parallel, according to the braking load
desired. A giant rheostat.

Most trolley brakes I've seen (Siemens) are a sliding rheostat
"looking" arm on the operator's control console. Were there banks of
a given value resistor hooked up, they would each dissipate the same
heat as each was brought into use during braking, and the brake
operator only engages as many of the resistors as are needed to effect
the smooth stop curve needed to keep that last second jolt out of the
picture for the passengers.

"Were there banks"...???

You don't know what you're talking about, so you're trying to contrive
something to make it sound sound like you do. Besides, we're not
talking about trolley brakes and how they might be wired, we're talking
about your inability to discern meaning from context.

Not at all. On the contrary, it delights me to be able to give someone
knowledge that they didn't have before. I don't suppose you've ever
seen the lights go on in someone's eyes when loose ends that they had in
their mind suddenly get connected, because if you had you certainly
wouldn't say making that happen was a waste of time.

What I actually said was that you redundantly repeated what was
already on the site, and STILL didn't "fix" the "problem".

The answer was:

"The capital W is shown that way, because your browser did not
catch the use of the other font utilized in the document. The capitol
W in the SYMBOL font is the upper case Omega symbol, widely used in
the electronics industry, as it stands for a basic electronic unit of
measure.

Replace the "resistance range" "W"s with the term Ohms, and all
should be clarified, or save and edit the page, and attempt to point
to the font usage yourself.

Much shorter. Still it was a very good job, and fine effort, as
that is all any of us should need.

So you think you should get credit for the song by changing the lyrics?

L'angel posted that she was having a problem and I helped her out, after

You're miffed because your bogus advice about "everything being the same
resistance but different wattages" was pure crap and there's nothing you
can do to change that, so you're stuck with having exposed yourself as a
know-nothing troll once again.

As many times as you've been nailed, it seems by now you would have
learned to keep your big mouth shut until you checked the facts, but
no... You're so fucking stupid you keep putting your foot in your mouth
time after time. Just another way a self-loathing egomaniacal loser

BTW, I've heard that it works much better if you start at your wrist and

Bullshit. This is EXACTLY how a wirewound variable resistor works,
you fuckhead. Multiple small resistors that get placed "in circuit"
sequentially. You're a goddamned retard.

Here, I'll spell it out for you ONE more time, dipshit...

Place banks of resistors in a cabinet with airflow considerations.

Bus one side of each to ground. Take all the separate nodes for the
other side to a radially arrayed set of contacts. As each successive
contact is "made" the braking load increases.

Otherwise, there is only ONE rate of braking. I know more about it
than your lame ass does.

You lose.

No. We are talking about using resistors and motors as rotational
braking hardware.

You are a goddamned retard. Discern that, ya stupid fuck.

Could anybody please enlighten me why is the resistance value given in
watts instead of ohms?

http://www.brakingresistor.com/metal.htm

Thanks!

Perhaps because such resistors re always the same value in Ohms, and
the only requisite for a user to select one by is dissipation ability.

You *are* really stupid! Switching resistors for dissipation
ability? Why not leave 'em all in and lower temperature? What a
maroon!

It's amazing how you make yourself look more and more stupid with each
successive post! It's like you keep anteing up because you don't know
you've got nothing but crap hands. Oh, well, pretty soon you'll be
broke and out of credit and nobody will let you play. If you knew
anything about the greek alphabet you'd realize that Omega has two
cases, upper and lower, upper case Omega being the symbol we commonly
use to denote resistance and lower case Omega being the symbol we use to
denote angular velocity.

Lower case Omega looks kinda like a script lowercase 'w', and it's often
represented with an uppercase 'W' where the meaning isn't ambiguous,
like in this newsgroup. Have you never seen Xl = WL written here or
didn't you realize what it meant when you tried to decipher it?

So, your statement, "W has NEVER meant omega." is false.

Moreover, your earlier posts indicated that you thought it meant watts,
even though its true meaning should have been evident from context.
Once again you pretend to have known something early-on, when in truth
you learned it after the time you claimed to have known it passed. You
even lie crudely.

Your previous (and following) claim that a trolley car brake comprises

true, but that claim certainly doesn't apply to wirewound variable
resistors, where incremental resistances are added IN SERIES to the
previous resistance, one turn at a time, as the wiper traverses the
resistance wire coil.

Except for you, as usual.

You may recall that you specifically stated that you thought that the
interpretation of the chart had to do with resistors which were all the
same resistance but which were available with different wattage ratings,
that information somehow being able to be determined from the table.

Wriggle around as much as you like and yell and scream and stamp your

It's kind of difficult to explain, but it seems he has the knack for
projecting stupidity into the future in the same manner that speech
leaves a megaphone. That is, instead of being collimated and projecting
forward in time in a narrow, pencil-like beam, it diverges and the
wavefront touches many areas. One example I can cite was the FR-4 thread
where he implied (or stated directly, I can't quite remember) that the
company where he's employed only used G-10 for PCB's but that they used
FR-4 for structural components, tipping his hand and revealing that he
knew very little not only about G-10, but also about FR-4, fire
retardant chemical additives, and currently used printed circuit board
laminates.

But if you are implying that he has branched out to be wrong on a

I think that's also true in that he pretends to be a gian but, once
given enough rope, proves himself to be a jack-of-no-trades.

Hmmm... perhaps that's unfair; he does seem to have a facility for
label-making.

The similarity is in the contacting method, dipshit.

The current in a wirewound varies. The currents in each element of
my array would be equal, and their heat would therefore be equal,
making the cooling cabinet work more efficiently.
