Q:Could this be potentially Electrokinesis?I am prone to having a LOT of static shocks. My computer freezes on me, my TV turns over by itself, my computer, Ipod, Phone turn off by themselves. My phone rings random people, if I put my finger about a centimeter over my touch screen on my Ipod it still works, the internet keeps disconnecting for meyou get the idea. Why does this happen? could it be out of control electrokinesis?

static shocks occur due to a variety of reasons. perhaps you have an excess of electron build up. try rubbing your feet on carpet and see if your static increases

Q:I plan on starting college next September to study electrical electronic engineering, it's three years in college then moving onto university. In college I would be B Tech qualified and the awarding body is EAL. Is B Tech qualification good ?What Qualifications will I get out of university ?What's the difference between BEng and MEng ? Could an Electrical Engineer work on oil rigs ?

I have no idea about B Tech. A university will give you either a BSc or BEng (Bachelors degree in Science or in Engineering), which doesn't actually matter much, it's a technical distinction that most employers will ignore. MEng is a masters in engineering, you normally get it from a university that offers a 4 year masters program as a way for students to get a Masters degree (which is normally a post-graduate qualification) while still getting the government funding level offered for undergraduate degrees. In theory these are as good as a true post-graduate degree, in practice they are considered somewhere between a Bachelors and a separate post-grad masters. There may be some small call for electrical engineering on an oil rig but very little, it certainly wouldn't be considered a mainstream source of employment for people with that qualification.

Q:I'm 14 and I go to a technical highschool, I'm in hvac because I missed electrical by 1 person, if I get the chance should I switch to electrical? I already have my tools and uniform.

What interests you the most? There is employment in both fields, and both pay good. You'll have to be a journeyman, no matter what before you get a master's license. I would frankly stick with HVAC because you will learn electrical stuff as you go along. I worked as a technician on food service equipment and vending machines for 20 years. There are a LOT of HVAC technicians and refrigeration technicians who also hold electrical licenses, but very few electricians who have licenses in any other area than electrical.

Q:BQ: Is it safe to unchain any of my electrical equipment yet?

Science says 4,500,000,000

Q:Can I use GB electrical equipment in Ukraine? If not what adaptor do I need to be able to use it?

Ukraine has 220/240 voltage, and a different 3 prong outlets. You can buy converters in most major stores.

Q:Hi, I have an interview for an electrical engineering position with my city water district. I have a power and drives background but I am pretty sure that they are not a utility company. What exactly do electrical engineers do at the water cleaning districts? I appreciate anything response I can get. Thanks in advance.

The water district is a public utility. If they did not need someone with your skills, they would not have asked you for an interview. They use a lot of pumps, motors, and other electrical equipment. good luck with your interview.

Q:If the poles switch will al of our electrical equipment still work? Or will it run in revers. Will migratory animals go the wrong way?

The present THEORY of pole reversal is wrong. The magnetic poles of our planet are due to the spin of our planet. In order for the poles to be reversed, the spin of our planet would have to be reversed. The energy forming earth's magnetic fields is due to the energy of rotation increasing as one moves from either pole toward the plane of our planet's equator. These forces move opposite each other (called the Coriolis Effect) and meet at the equator. It is this force that causes winds and water to rotate in opposite directions. When these opposing forces meet at the plane of earth's equator, they are moving in opposite directions. These forces moving against each other through the plasma area of our planet generate a strong electric field. When an electric field is generated, a magnetic field always forms at right angles to the electric one. It is for this reason we have opposing negative and positive poles within our planet that exhibit magnetic forces in an exactly opposite manner.

Q:I work on a plant where my workers have to trouble shoot low DC control voltage circuits besides high voltages ac running machines which are operated by inverters as well as from direct ac powerNeed a document or some tips to prevent electrical shocks and for electrician guidance

Work only in dry environments. No water on the floor. Plug AC powered test equipment into a GFCI protected circuit. Really no safety issues on DC voltages under 50V. Only handle electrical leads with one hand. Keep the other in your pocket. Rubber mats to stand on. Rubber gloves worn inside leather gloves Face shield and arc-flash rated clothing when working on anything over 50VAC.

Q:Any tips for a rock band that will be playing shows in the next month or so? Set-up, breakdown of equipment, working the crowd, preperation, etc?

Learn to put up and break down your equipment quickly. I've seen a drummer take 30 minutes to set up the most basic of drum sets when the set was brought in. Have backups for your guitars and electrical equipment. A broken string on a guitar is a 15 minute pause on your set (experienced that from the same band that took that long on the drum set) to fix it. Ignore the crowd if you think they are bored (in music videos those crowds are paid to be all festive, but they are no where near that in real life). If they aren't paying attention to you, you can forget the onstage talk and sing alongs. Ignore the drunks (talk with the manager before hand on having the manager remove the noisy drunks). Have your merchandise (same band above forgot their stuff and I wanted a CD)!

Q:I mean everything from the boat, the nets for the traps the traps themselves, the electrical equipment, and the salary for the crew. Are the crews wages expense or are they earning a share of the final pot like the owners and partners.

Not as simple as asking crab fishing folk! For starter they are not going to help a rival start up! And you will need to apply for a commercial licence which cost a small fortune each and every year! Then there is the insurance of the Boat Equipment and crew! The crab handling equipment needed to commercially deal in crabs which will be based on the land alone with the building or buildings to house it! You crew will expect to be paid whether you're catching crabs or not! So unless you have extremly deep pockets you will not get off the ground or dock! Then to add more joy to this if you have as I guess no experience whatsoever. You will swiftly go bankrupt in under a year! If you do not know the crab grounds then you stand no chance whatsoever of making a penny! You can not just go and poach on others fishing grounds of you will find your boat sitting on the bottom of the sea!
