SPQ13 Miles

Last week turned out to be quite exciting and involved lots of learning, not only at school but at home assembling the engine for my 1982 Volkswagen Scirocco. After last week my basic electronic understanding and skills have multiplied significantly through informative lessons and test/learning boards as shown in the picture below. Durring my weekend reading, I learned that static or more correctly labeled, "frictional" electricity involves voltages of over 1,000 volts and can exceed 50,00 volts! Another thing I learned and found quite interesting was the importance of using an approved battery charger for gel cell battery charging regulated at no higher than 14.1 volts. I documented 7 hours for the first week of spring quarter.

  1. Talk to me about the hours Miles.

    It was good to chat the other morning about learning. I am looking forward to the rest of the quarter.
