Electronics World
Has anyone ever herd of World College or the Cleveland Institute of Electronics?

Im thinking about taking some classes for a bachlors degree threw them. Thing is there telling me it will only cost me 3,540 per year. I thought it would cost more than that. Everyone tells me if it sounds to good to be true than it is. Ok well im not sure if this is to good to be true because this is my first time.
Can you help me?

I am currently a student in broadcast engineering. The cost is really low but you get what you pay for. You will receive numerous bound lessons ranging from fifty to 90 pages each with quizzes at the and of each and the answers are sent in electronically. Instructor support is a joke!!
You are basically on your own and it is often helpful to purchase textbooks to supplement your learning. Some of the quizzes (passing is required) are difficult and the answers are not found in the text.
Nevertheless, they are accredited and I am continuing as a student since I have learned a great deal. There would be a lot more learning if a classroom were available but that is impossible for me. Many of their lessons are also quite dates. For example, the video cameras they discuss are of the camera tube (plumbicon ) type whereas nearly everything is CCD and solid state these days.
I visited their headquarters in Cleveland and it is in a decrepit old building with few employees. Nevertheless, they do grade the quizzes quickly so you can continue on with the courses.
Their major competitor is ITT although ITT does not have the electronics courses.

Does fog can stop electricity in high power electricity wires?

Dear Members,

Does fog can stop electricity in high power electricity wires going from one city to another city.

Thanks.

Yes…. fog, water in suspension in the air, can actually short out high powered transmission lines because the moist air is more conductive than the dry air.

In normal circumstances, the current within high tension lines is kept at bay by insulators that separate the lines from connection to the ground. If there were such a connection, the high voltage potential between the wires and the ground would induce a large current and cause the lines to burn out.

But, occasionally rain and/or fog can cause the insulators to fail because the otherwise insulated gap between a wire and the point where a ground connection might be made is shorted out by the water. When that happens, sparks will fly… literally. And the whole system will burn out around where the ground current occurs. On occasions that excessive current is passed on up stream and an entire power grid, like the size of northeast U.S., will short out and go dark. A transformer shorted out in Toronto Canada and caused the whole of New England and NY to go dark for several days.

Water, rain, snow, or fog, is not a good thing for high powered transmissions lines and transformers. The power grid designers know this and try to minimize the vulnerability, but nothing’s perfect.

What are some cool HD, tech, sci-fi, magic, fantasy movies?

preferably computer-generated high-graphics movies

Equilibrium is an amazing futuristic sci-fi action movie that nobody has seen or heard of. It stars Christian Bale as the Ultimate bad ass and also has Taye Diggs in it. It is such a good movie and i recommend it highly.
