    exactly my deduction...

  4. Re:Electrical Relay's on Dreamliner: Boeing 787 Aircraft Battery "Not Faulty" · · Score: 1

    true, however, direct from the manufacturer specs: "The 787 uses an electrical system that is a hybrid voltage system consisting of the following voltage types: 235 volts alternating current (VAc), 115 VAC, 28 volts direct current (VDC), and ±270 VDC. the 115 VAC and 28 VDC voltage types are traditional, while the 235 VAC and the ±270 VDC voltage types are the consequence of the nobleed electrical architecture that results in a greatly expanded electrical system generating twice as much electricity as previous boeing airplane models." It's this no-bleed APU/GEN system that is causing the battery charger relays to overload, preventing the actuating switches from shutting off the charging relays or possible overloading them with current due to a short (possibly?) or an electrical failure of industrial diodes (possibly?) or that the over-current amperage exceeds operational ranges for the batteries or gets very close to it. I'm still convinced of the APU/GEN charging system as the culprit.

    So, this comes to me as no surprise. What's really (guesstimation here) happening is probably that the electrical relay that's responsible for charging the batteries off of the engines generators isn't detecting the voltage properly, resulting in overcharging the batteries which results in them catching fire. The APU generator has enough juice to power some minor systems, avionics, air cond., and flight controls. The engine generators (which are usually kicked on after pushback and startup procedures have been completed) charge the batteries, have enough juice to run all the aircraft systems and then some. Hell, you can even run on only 1 generator, the 787 has 2 like the 737... My deduction of all of this is that the relays responsible for charging the batteries during taxi/takeoff/cruise/touchdown (i.e. the engines generators) are not detecting the correct voltage or amperage and are overloading the battery, not switching off and on as needed to charge them. But hey, we can all be armchair gumshoes when it comes to these things...

  7. He said/She said on US DOJ Claims It Did Not Entrap Megaupload · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Only the logs will tell... Wasn't the claim by Kim Dotcom that the DOJ requested to host on his network files pertaining to copyright infringement and then, a year or so later, busted him for copyright infringement and took his network down? His smoking gun is the communiqué between his company and the DOJ and the log files of said uploads and access, which are on the servers the DOJ took, which are probably no longer there... ...and the cycle continues. Honestly if I was on that jury I would acquit due to lack of undeniable evidence... Yes, megaupload servers hosted some copyright infringement material, is Megaupload responsible? Absolutely not, unless they themselves uploaded the content. It was written in the user agreement NOT to use the service for hosting of copyright material so it's a matter of finding the users responsible and punish them... oh, sorry, right, that would require actual detective work, of which the DOJ has forgotten how to do.

    HOLY capital letters that was a LONG comment... I see where your COMING from but I don't TOTALLY agree. Meetings DO harm you as far as time is CONCERNED. Rarely are YOU exiting the meeting with a better UNDERSTANDING of what the meeting was SCHEDULED to resolve. Most of the TIME its so that some MANAGER can get the people who KNOW what they are DOING in one room to REACH a DECISION. Rarely are meetings beneficial to ALL parties involved which results in TIME loss and PRODUCTIVITY wasted. I'm using GRATUITOUS use of all caps like you HAVE in your response because I'm emphasizing my WORDS so you understand my intelligence level.
