Question by Clippy147: Time to replace my GPS?
I have been using a Garmin Geko GPS for a few years to geocache. Lately it has been pretty wonky – and I can’t blame it on where we are because it does it everywhere. It seems the arrow can’t make a decision!

It also shuts itself off on occasion, but that has been happening for a long time.

Time to replace?

Sounds like the case weather seal has been compromised and moisture had gotten inside.
Time to get a new gps.

Geocache on eBay:

Question by neocacher_in_indy: Why do you Geocache?
I got into geocaching in February of this year. I found the website by accident and after reading through all the information, I was hooked. What more could I ask for? I get to use the computer, a GPS and the great outdoors for my entertainment. Oh yes, almost forgot, billion dollar satellites free of charge courtesy of the U.S. government.

I’m still a Neocacher since I’ve only found 7 so far, but with the weather improving every day, I hope to get out more often.

Why do pirates hide thier treasure? It’s for the fun of find something that is hidden from everyone else who doesn’t know it’s location.

What powers the electronics and hydraulics of a small business jet?

June 7, 2010

Question by Aurora: What powers the electronics and hydraulics of a small business jet?
I am curious what powers the basic electronics and hydraulics of a business jet? Is it a battery? Is the engine somehow powering it? Is there an APU unit and so on…

Best answer:

Answer by Knowitall
No it is not the battery. A battery cannot generate enough power for any amount of time.

generally on all Aircraft a internal or external engine is used to power hydraulics and electrical systems.
There are different methods but internally an IPP or Internal Power pack can be used and externally you can get the power from a an AGPU, or some other ground unit that usually has a small rotary engine of its own. It just depends on the support equipment being used.

whats the best book or way to start engineering small electronics ?

November 29, 2008

Question by Graham Williams: whats the best book or way to start engineering small electronics ?
I know nothing about engineering but its always been an interest to learn how to design/build small to big electronics / circuit boards. Whats the best book or way to start please?

Best answer:

Answer by Larry G
The best way to start is through education – either formal (tech school or college) or informal (learn on your own.) A school career counselor should be able to guide you to the many formal possibilities.

If you want to learn on your own, you need to have a lot of time and money to get equipment, parts, supplies and books. With these, you can start by creating simple circuits and measuring the various circuit parameters which result from each new design.

You are better off going to school, because few people have the tenacity to really learn electronics on their own.
