.002 ohms and loving it!

Baffles the mind, heh?

I don't know that I ever should have looked at that link...

I feel obligated to buy that stupid juice now...

I can't tell if I should appreciate your willingness to share, or be scathing mad at you for diverting my attention to yet another money sponge!

Or did you direct me there because "that avatar" pops up like every other post? LoL

Ahlusion is a maker of ejuice.... is she somehow tied in with them?

dam718, that's fine my friend. The world is a joke.

this is me enjoying the mod & RBA whose ohms are in question.

Well played, sir, well played...

dam718, that's fine my friend. The world is a joke.

These last few messages you've posted have stimulated my thought process more than it has been tickled in years...

Thanks... LoL

Now let me look for that decoder ring, I know it's out in the garage somewhere...

PS.. my Dad was flag radioman on board DD-380 Gridley II during TF-8 under Admiral Halsey. I know how things worked, and Halsey was right.

I didn't get past the first 40ish posts. Felt this to be necessary...

Better version for single coil, but light green blocks of 6 watts and less should be colored dark green.

This look familiar?

Funny how the internet is a melting pot of information...

The building I work in, Building 661 at Naval Base Pearl harbor, is the building that housed the office of the Commander, US Pacific Fleet on December 7, 1941. I work withing 50 ft of the very window where Admiral Kimmel watched the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

I've been on the Arizona Memorial once... In the 18 years I've been here... Once was enough...

I'm a huge sap for that kind of stuff... Every time I hear even the tune of Eternal Father, Strong to Save (Navy Hymn), I get choked up... There are specific verses that pertain to the submarine force which get me every time.

Another trivial piece of knowledge... My first Captain, Commander Cecil Haney, is now holding the office that Admiral Kimmel held in WWII, Admiral Cecil D Haney, Commander, US Pacific Fleet.

That submarine, created quite the spring board for it's commanding officers. 3 former captains of the USS Honolulu hold the rank of Admiral. Admiral John Greenert, Admiral Cecil Haney, and Admiral John Richardson.

At the current time, the Navy only has 9 4-Star Admirals. This does not include Joint commands, for which there may be a few more. For 1/3 of those 4 star admirals to not only be former Submarine captains, but to have also been former captains of the SAME submarine, is fairly unprecedented.

I'd like to think some of my accolades on the Honolulu during both Admiral Haney and Admiral Richardson's tenure as captain gave them a little boost to get where they are today

 

[yzer]

Admiral Kimmel got a bad rap. He warned Washington about the lack of defenses in Hawaii but was ignored. My Dad always liked him. Further, my Dad worshiped Admirals Nimitz and Halsey. They were gods to him.

 

[dam718]

I feel the same about some of our current 4 star admirals. I edited my previous post... A few of my former commanding officers now hold some of the highest positions in the Navy. I know them personally, and they are without question some of the finest officers I have had the privelege to serve with.

I don't doubt that Admiral Kimmel and Halsey both received their fair share of ridicule (Not so much Admiral Nimitz) but those whoa ren't afraid to ruffle some feathers are often the ones who make the biggest impact. Especially in times of war...

Yes, I wrote it.

I also liked post #29... In fact, I may just change that to my avatar too so I can see it more often... Hehe

Hey hey, Chief. The avatar is Amy Lee, Front woman from the goth/rock group Evanescence. She has the most mesmerizing eyes, doesn't she? I'm not hairy or old, but I am a dude, and that is exactly why I use Amy as my avatar. Every time I post I get to see that gorgeous face.

Oh, and that Ahlusion juice? Nothing to see, move along, because right now, even I am having a hard time getting my hands on the stuff. I'll let you know what I really think of it once they absorb their growing pains and can meet the demand.

What a small world it is! I lived on Ford Island from 85 - 88 and moved to Halsey Terrace until 90. It took all of about 5 minutes walking to be directly behind the Arizona Memorial while we were on Ford. This was the view from our front yard

Dam718 - Looks like you've been around there long enough to have seen the bridge being built.

I'd say the more likely scenario is that you are doing something fishy when you're putting your meter leads together.

I believe that your RBA really is at 1.7 - 1.8 Ohms...

I do NOT believe that your meter leads (which, BTW, should be as transparent to the circuit as possible, AKA ZERO resistance) have a cumulative 1.6 Ohm impedence... That is WAY off...

When you touch them together, make sure your fingers aren't touching the metal parts of the leads at all. If they are still reading 1.6 ohms, then I would look into getting some different meter leads... Cause 1.6 Ohms of resistance accross the meter leads makes for a pretty useless meter...

I agree the meter is crap if touching the leads reads 1.6

dude. thats insane. i need to go nimbus. or i need to borrow someones mech mod with a nimbus so i can post for that nimbus facebook contest lol.

DVM=Digital Volt Meter.

Also, in the 200 setting, put your test leads together and check if it reads anything other than 0. If it does, you have to subtract that number from your atty readings.

Even with just a normal DVM you would not be able to accuratly read .002 ohms. You would need something like a Bosch 5200 (cost $8,000) or better. You would also probably need to use gold leads.
