Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Re: "All [John Curl] seems to do is whine, drop names, brag..." LOL!

John Curl: ""Jneutron, when I need to wind a coil and I get into problems, I will come to you,""

I actuality, I designed the 11 axis winding machine, all the electronics, all the software, all the process, and manufacturing steps.. Also, 6 Kiloamp cryogenic diodes and all the testing..Ah, nevermind. It's a very long, way too specialized list. And not needed here..

John Curl: ""BUT you show no demonstrated expertise in E/M theory yourself.""

Nothing that you would admit to..My work here is very, very e/m intensive. Superconductors have a way of needing that type of analysis. Oh, BTW...I walked on water in e/m theory before I came here...then, found an environment where they knew more..much more..hugely inspiring and humbling at the same time.

John Curl: ""Certainly in none of your published papers.""

Hmmm. Where did you find them? They are way too specialized, I'm sure you've found none..Unless you found the PAC documents..

John Curl: ""You design and wind coils for a living.""

No, that is a small subset of my real workload..but it's more visible on the webpage, and is one of the few topics that engineers in general can understand. The really complex stuff is not in public access. Not that it's secret, just that practically none of the engineers in the world can even pronounce half the stuff..nevermind heard of it..That's why it took me 1.5 years to figure out what they were talking about here.


John Curl: ""That's OK with me, but I suspect that Dr. Hawksford teaches E/M theory, and that is the person who you are attacking. I am just the messenger.""

I suspect he does not, but I figured you would know for a fact..and, I am not attacking him..unless you call my statement "I'd have to read for about a year before I could even ask him a reasonable question regarding DSP and signal analysis" an attack??? (remember that post here?)

His CV is huge with non e/m stuff..I question his methodology, his test setup, his suppositions...his analysis..That is not an attack on him, John...It is questioning the science. Period..

John Curl ""By the way, I suspect that Clark has the same level of academic background as you do. I think that his expertise is optics. Clark is real, just like Chas Hansen.""

I do not care what his academic background is...Nor Hansen's. Nor yours...nor Hawksfords...that information, while interesting, bears no relevance to the discussion at hand..and has no bearing in my attitude towards him, you, or others.

John Curl: ""One apparent difference between us and you, is that you studied engineering in school, with physics on the side; and we studied physics in school, with engineering on the side. You went to work with/for physicists, and the rest of us worked primarily with/for engineers.""

You have no idea the back and forth tongue and cheek bashing that goes on here at work for that exact reason!!!!!!! We have a really good, fun time with that one. The same happens with the mech engs. also.

Cheers, John
