The "Last" Lecture 2022-05-04
This is the last lecture I ever gave as a professor at James Madison University. It's a summary of the lessons I've learned as a professor, specifically that grades suck, and that we'd all be much better off without them.

    Technically the male is female and the female is male with these, it's one of those situations where the plug has a hole and the socket has a pin. On the plug the positive conductor is a recessed hole to avoid casual short circuit. Edit: whoops someone already made this comment

    I know this will sound counter-intuitive but I am trying to figure out how to wire a DC Jack with 3 pins providing 12V AC AC to a screw terminal with 3 terminals labeled AC/GND/AC. It’s not clear if I need 2 or 3 wires to provide a ground connection to the terminal and it’s also not clear if the barrel Jack even provides a ground terminal. The internet suggests one of the pins on the Jack is for an internal battery to switch power to the battery when you pull the male power Jack out. Any advice?

    • @MorganBenton
      @MorganBenton Před 2 lety

      Caveat: I am NOT an electrician, just a hobbyist, so if there's a chance of starting a fire or damaging expensive equipment, I would seek more expert advice on this. That said, to complete an electrical circuit you need two wires (positive and neutral), and for the ground to do its thing you also need a wired connection to the earth, so I think you'd need three wires for this. This was not obvious to me when I started electrical projects, but a connection to ground literally creates a continuous path through your home's electrical system to the earth. It provides some safety that large electrical surges can be absorbed by the planet itself (although NOT necessarily before destroying the devices they're attached to). I don't know anything about battery backups, but wires are wires and can carry power or signal for most any purpose. I can imagine the terminals you're using would likely have multiple different usage scenarios. I would expect that for a battery backup to work there would need to be some logical circuitry in the loop connected to your power source to switch between the battery and the continuous DC source. That would be contained within the power brick itself and there should be documentation. Bottom line, for your purposes, I'm pretty sure you need 3 wires, and you need to make sure that the correct connections are made at each end. You can pick up a cheap multimeter (e.g. amzn.to/3nw8ikl) to verify this and give you more confidence that you're not going to start a fire. Hope this helps!

    Pretty sure the male/female is actually backwards on barrel connectors. Meaning, the one that you would think is male, is actually female. Because the "female" one has that pin inside, which is what makes it male, not female. Not really here nor there, just nomenclature.

    • @l8ur1e
      @l8ur1e Před 8 měsíci

      Agreed. This is a very common error, but to avoid confusion just remember that the male ALWAYS has the pin, regardless of the outer housing, which can vary a great deal according to what type of connector you are using.

    Note: if you have too long of a conductor, it may contact ground inside the barrel... or maybe I burnt the plastic with my soldering gun... neither of which is good. Also, the sauder may not bond with the steel... it could still mechanically hold itself there if you plan it like you did. I heatshrink the ground for extra protection and heat shrink over the screwtop strain reliever. I've been using a heat gun... but lighter might be more accurate, thanks!

    The voice of the cameraman seems to be Mike Mackenzie of C.E.M. There were 2 useful takeaways for me in this video: 1) Use full power to cut fast enough to not heat the rest of the material (which causes deformation/ridging) and 2) applying dishwashing soap to both sides and letting it dry before lasering. I will try "clearcoat" sheeting (which isn't clear BTW) instead as this also provided a barrier and avoids the evenness and drying issues of soap.

    Great video, I was wondering if you could help me with a few questions. My intentions are to create what looks like a cut in Acrylic but is more closer to just an internal scar that is foggy and glows like a ribbon in the Acrylic when lit. Can this be accomplished with less power and faster speeds? If this is not possible how thin can the laser cut be so it is almost invisible when viewed from the cut direction yet will glow when light is shown in the Acrylic. Thanks
