  • Voltage booster dc to ac circuit?

    I have made many circuits by following schematics before, but i have never really made my own, i can read and build but not create, basically.

    i have a 30v, 10a, 300w military generator, its very small and i would love for it to have one or two 120v plugs on it, any ideas how to go about a circuit to change the 30v to 120v, and the dc to ac?

  • Laptop Batterys, HP, Cells? Lifetime?

    ok, I have a 17.5" DV7 laptop that chews battery like candy, it lasts about 1:30 hours, when it was new i got 2hours, anyways, my battery is shot, and i need to get a new one,

    whats the difference between them, and would it be better to put in the extra 20$ and get the long life battery with the 3 year warranty rather than buy a new one evry year?

  • How much is this car worth today?

    I have a Gold 1979 Trans Am, Olds 403,

    It is totally original, origional paint, body, interior, even wheels, NO RUST, and fires and runs like new, it has about 80K on it, a mix between city and highway, this car has had it easy, it was run from 79-83 then it was stored for years until 2003, then for more years until 2008 untill today, so only 6-7 years on the road, and only in the summer, this thing has never seen rain or snow before, it just sat in a heated garage under a cover for years,

    so, my dad bought it for 10,000 new in 79 when he was 17, we were wondering what the value of it is today,

  • Cell Phone Switch,, Whats what?

    I currently run on Solo with a crappy Krzr phone,

    anyways, i know solo is a branch of bell and any bell phone works, (i want to get the blackberry curve)

    but what carrier in the U.S is like bell, because bell uses a DSIM wich is a digital sim card, so i have to get the lady to switch it on the computer,

    like i think the Fido/Rogers is similar to T-Mobile over there, so whats bell?

  • Laptop Battery Wear and Performance,?

    Ok, so i have an HP DV7 laptop, and the old battery went, it would shut off randomly and such,

    so me trying to save 140$, i bought the upgrade replacment cells and soldered up a new pack that works,

    i have battery bar pro, and at first the battery wouldent charge, and got stuck at 86%, so i flashed the BIOS, and it fixed that,

    but my battery bar says my batteries are at 58% worn out already!!! i bought these things new! my old ones were 62% worn and they needed to be replaced,

    this is the first charge and they have not been cycled yet, will this change once they cycle, so this could be a false wear reading?

  • 1979 Trans Am and Firebird Parts,?

    I was looking on Jegs.com for headers for my 1979 Trans Am, and all i see when looking into sections and the 1979>Pontiac>Firebird>Parts section, there is no Trans Am section where you choose the car type,

    I have the 403 V8 model, (i don't know if they made them for the firebirds), but are the parts interchangeable between the two cars? like if it says it will fit a 1979 403 V8 Firebird, will it fit the trans am also?

    are there any trans am specific sites i can get parts off of, mainly looking for stainless magnaflow pipes, mufflers and Hooker Headers, and maybe an electric fan to replace the engine fan,

  • Swapping a CPU in a laptop?

    Hi,

    I have a HP 18" Pavillion DV7 Laptop and i couldent be happier with it,

    i have windows Vista Ultimate, Photoshop CS4 Extended edition, and other power-hungry programs,

    the computer is great but the CPU does get a little hot and i use these programs daily, it has a Intel centrino Dual core 2Ghz CPU,

    i was thinking of putting in a Centrino 2 Duo 2.5Ghz CPU, would it just pop in and would my computer motherboard be able to handle it?

    also, could i switch the graphics card as easy as the CPU, does it just pop out? or is it hard soldered onto the computers motherboard?
