Shack. I need to know the polarity, DC voltage, and amps.
Thanks

Is Moller at it again? by
Chris Wells
There's video of a tethered "flying saucer" in flight, with a typically clueless anchorperson describing it. The company building it is in California, and Annie Anchor said they would only fly 10' off the ground, thereby sidestepping FAA clearance & licensing issues. :) I thought I saw the word...

Secondary Stall by

http://w3n-a.blogspot.com/2008/12/secondary-stall.html
This stall is called a secondary stall since it may occur after a
recovery from a preceding stall. It is caused by attempting to hasten

little while later he told us to squawk...

shot out, it seems to experience major turbulence and/or seem to dive
before it is stabilised.
I can't understand why a load of air rushing out of the pressurised
cabin would do this in *real* situations, does it actually...
