Made of steel and has several floors and observation areas for the Captain and the Air Wing boss. May also have numerous antennas and radar domes on it.

Silly me. I didn't get the nautical connection, although I doubt OP has the slightest notion of what we, or he, is talking about.

There really wasn't a question there, just gibberish, anyway.

This is the same dork who posted "RAC" with no rational statement.

Agreed... I could not resist the temptation though.

THIS IS YOU ARE GETTING VERY VEXING!!!

How much traffic will it carry?

Will traffic be going both ways (AC) or one way(DC).

NOW, REALLY WHY NOT TRY A WEB SEARCH AND QUIT WASTING OUR TIME!!!

As this is posted in the electrical engineering forum, I suspect he is talking about a resistance bridge using AC instead of DC. Otherwise your guess is as good as mine.

More than likely asking about how a bridge rectifier is built. But... when it comes to engineering things... I really hate to guess.

What's missing from the Ikea version is the prodigious use of hex (Allen) head screws that use a metric size that only approximates an SAE size, so that if you use the SAE size Allen wrench because that's all you have available, it gives you the false hope that it will work at first, then it strips out the hex socket and you cannot finish the project..

True, but most people could not solder to save their lives, either - - -

I also have lost the allen key they include in their other kits, that's why I now own a metric set :)

Soldering isn't about melting the solder onto the joint. It's about everyting that is supposed to happen before that, but hardly ever does.

He's consistent, see his other started topics.

I await episode two of the AC bridge.

"Reference Data for Radio Engineers" by ITT/Standard Telephones has a chapter on AC measurement Bridges, a good 10+ types.

You can make an AC bridge with 4 resistors, an earphone and an AC supply from a bell transformer secondary but since you do not write what you wish to measure, posing a diagram would be wasted effort.

As has been posted, confusion with "Across Canyon" or AC rectifier is caused.

Try the library.
