Someone recently asked me if there’s a way to bend PVC conduit or if someone makes a bender or a tool to get a proper bend. In this episode we’re going to cover how I do it.

My dudes, I really need help figuring out what to do with my storage situtation. I keep losing terrabytes of data everytime my RAID 5 crashes, and it happens often.

Any of you tech gurus out there PLEASE HELP!

In my house we have an issue with some people leaving lights on, specifically in the garage. After hounding on the issue, I decided to get a cheap occupancy sensor and install it in the garage to take care of the problem.

In this episode I talk about the various fault detecting devices on the market in use in most modern residences. Chiefly Arc Fault and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters.

A lot of green apprentice electricians ask about how panels work, and more specifically what the roll of the circuit breaker is.  Some guys think that breakers "put out" electricity, or that they "send" a certain amount of amperage to a load from the panel.  This is not how it works.

Automatic circuits work on the philosophy that some external/automatic switch turns power on and off to a circuit.  This can be a photocell or timeclock that controls a set of relays or contactors which allow or disallow current to flow in a circuit.

In order for electricity to work, there has to be movement.  Static electricity still needs movement to occur in order to discharge and equalize charges.  The only way that movement becomes useful is once there is a difference of potential present.  That is what voltage is all about.

This episode goes further in depth on how 3-way and 4-way switches work.  This is for those visual learners out there that need the logic drawn out so they can see the whole circuit in front of them.

In this episode I take apart a 3-way and 4-way switch and talk about how they work on the inside.
