Hello to All,
I am an electronics, electromechanical tech. I work in the automation field.
I started my Nerdiness in the 80's Programing Basic on a commodore and went into electronics from there.
I have a fairly decent electronics/chem/physics lab, as well as a moderately equipped machine shop.
I enjoy making beer, wine, and other stuff.. LOL
I also have a small but well equipped jewelry shop.. I facet stones, and also do a little metal casting.
I drive old aircooled VW's and collect old technical books.
I am currently working on Ion and static electricity driven motors...
I am interested in magnetism and have quite a few Measuring gizmos for Static, Magnetism, etc
I am a ham KD8EWP but don't talk on it much at all..
I used to frequent Timonium Ham fest every year until it fizzled out a few years ago.
I worked many years in a repair shop (J&M electronics) as a bench tech, followed by Thorn Services International, also as a bench/field tech
I later moved into the copier field (mid 90's) where I worked for almost 20 years. Got bored with it and then got into PLC's and automation.
at my current job, I take a concept from a manager.etc,, then postulate, source, build, debug, and hand over a turnkey build to them..
and I recently participated in a reality show on the discovery channel. (soon to air mid July) lol
that's the top end, but there are many more layers. I am a builder, a tinkerer, a fabricator, and sometimes a BS'er
Also Tesla coils and HV. And I collect radioactive materials.
I hope to contribute when/if I can...
