"SECRETS OF SOLDERLESS BREADBOARDS"

New, hard copy or eBook. Please see our webpages for the 100s of electronic parts and test equipment we sell.

Solderless breadboarding suffers from prejudice from designers who don't know how to use them properly or optimally, and especially from those who have a financial stake in the huge PC Board industry and large circuit manufacturers who can afford elaborate operations and don't want competition from small-quantity and custom circuit providers. Not just for temporary breadboardings, SBs are also great for small quantity permanent circuits, and for circuits up to about 50 MHz and 10 amps. Properly used SBs are an excellent choice for both temporary and permanent circuits, for example, their popular uses in robotics, remote control and science fair type projects. In fact, JameCo Electronics sells a SB rated at 100 MHz. Save your health and the environment - SBs don't require toxic and environmentally-damaging chemicals to process as do PC Boards (according to the EPA), and usually much reduce the amount of soldering you have to do to implement your circuit designs. And solderless breadboard prototypes allow you to make changes on the fly, to tweak circuits for their maximum performance levels, and are also useful for small mechanical prototyping and optical prototyping. Virtually all SIP and DIP/DIL integrated circuits, transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, LEDs, etc., and many switches, connectors and displays no more than a few inches on a side are easily installed on SBs. And SBs circuits can use complex wiring that if done on a PC board would require either many jumpers or an expensive multi-layer PC board and the use of expensive, complex and time-consuming circuit layout software. And with the proper techniques, solderless breadboards (especially those used for permanent and rough environments) can be hardened to greatly resist moisture, temperature changes, vibrations and mechanical shock. "Secrets of Solderless Breadboards" shows you how to get the optimum versatility out of prototyping breadboards, and how to quickly and virtually effortlessly assemble your circuits on them. Comprehensive manual. Numerous tips.

"DISK SERVICE MANUAL III"
Floppy Disk Drive Maintenance & Repair

New, hard copy or eBook. One of our all-time hottest-selling manuals. Older floppy disk drives contain much technology adaptable to many modern precision positioning designs and applications ranging from robotics to automation. Today, you can buy these drives for almost a song, and then harvest the great parts they contain, such as the controllers, motors, worm gears, etc for all kinds of electronic and computer-controlled applications.

And learn how to analyze, maintain, troubleshoot, repair, adjust, align floppy drives without special equipment or software - 3.5", and now out-of-production 5.25" on PCs, MACs and many older drives. While drives are much more reliable and cheap today, they still should be occasionally cleaned and lubricated. And some breakdowns can be easily remedied. Many fully labeled photos and figures. While the drives shown are older and mostly outdated, most modern floppy drives are of very similar electrical/mechanical design.

Energy Savings & Meters Books & Manuals:

New, hard copy or eBook. With energy costs now practically spiraling out of control, the question is just how accurate are energy meters anyhow? And how can one tell if his energy meter is properly registering his actual power or energy consumption - something that requires good knowledge as to how energy and power meters work. With your KW-HR Meter incrementing your electric bill every second of the day and night, can you afford to any longer not really understanding how it works and how accurate it is?

KHM describes in detail: How electric energy meters work; calibration; many error modes; ANSI standards, demand meters, pole meters, polyphase meters; meter creep; overload droop; ANSI C12 standards; results from our extensive and exhaustive meter research and testing; historical developments; experiments of others to slow down and stop meters. Describes why power meters are in error that often exceeds 10% (usually in the utility's favor), and why the NBS considers them to be `junk... not worth the effort to calibrate. KHM is the singularly most detailed, comprehensive, frank and utility-unbiased source available on electric energy metering.

"STOPPING POWER METERS"
Electric Energy Meter Errors & Electric Energy Meter Vulnerabilities

New, hard copy or eBook. Our all-time best seller - as demonstrated by Consumertronics.net on CBS "60 MINUTES"! Exciting 7th Edition completely rewritten! Jam-packed with vivid details on how ELECTRIC POWER METERS and ELECTRIC ENERGY METERS work, why they are usually in error, and their vulnerabilities. Energy and power meters are NOT scientific instruments, nor typically frequently calibrated, nor maintained, nor operated under rigidly controlled laboratory conditions, but are often in error that exceeds 10%. Maximum kilowatt-hour meter accuracy is specified by the IEC61036 Electrical Standard (under worse case conditions, cumulative permitted meter errors can be up to a calculated 8.5% due to nominal error + reactive load error + voltage variation error + frequency variation error + low-current error + self-heating error); in addition, temperature variations of up to 0.15%/ °K (or °C) are permitted (in an area that varies 50 °C from Summer to Winter this temperature variation in meter registration can be as high as 7.5% for a total maximum possible meter registration error of 16%, and on hot days, the insides of an outdoor meter can be far hotter than ambient temperature!). Apparently not even considered in the Standard are energy meter errors due to abnormal or even normal energy meter aging, mechanical shock and vibration (walls where meters are often mounted tend to act as sounding boards), nearby lightning strikes and other induced transients, power spikes and power surges, radiation exposure (e.g. Sun's radiation, ground radiation), and humidity (if meter is not 100% hermetically sealed).

When your electric bill was $40/month, a $6.40/month error (if 16% meter error) may not have been much to you, but today, many people and businesses are paying $400+/month utility bills (and still climbing!) - in which case, such meter error amounts to a whopping $64+/month or $768+/year difference in what you should be paying if your meter was 100% accurate! Today, many cannot accept even a 5% error in their electric bills.

"Stopping Power Meters" describes (with many schematics) ten inside load methods used to stop or slow down electric energy meters without modifying or bypassing the electric meter (that have been experimented with to demonstrate electric meter errors and vulnerabilities), and without using another power source or decreasing the load. Great for science projects and electrical engineering research, for gaining understanding on how electric meters work, and for how using more or less electric energy impacts meter accuracies! Also describes pole meters, meter creep, and overload droop. With circuit diagrams and other figures. Includes the infamous MAGNO-BRAKE TECHNIQUE. Much more info than any related manual. By the infamous inventor of the Stopping Power Meters Educational Module and producer of the Stopping Power Meters Video (DVD/VHS tutorial on how electric power meters and electric energy meters work and their vulnerabilities).

"ELECTRICAL METERMEN'S HANDBOOK"
Rare, 7th Edition, The Edison Electric Institute

The really nice thing about the 7th. Edition is that many of the electrical meters it details are still in use today in people's homes and businesses. And many of the more modern electric meters operate under the same or very similar principles, even many of the power and energy meters with digital displays.

We are the CEO of Consumertronics (consumertronics.net), in business now for about 40 years, publishers of high-tech security and survival books, manuals and software, many of them related to energy survival, and most of these to electric meter technology (but some on gas metering and water metering). For years, we also sold hardware that we made, including our infamous, "Stopping Power Meters Educational Module," " which was designed to test electric power and kilowatt-hour meters (the big brothers of watt meters and watthour meters) for vulnerabilities that would cause them to grossly underregister or even stop rotating under normal full load. Our infamous electric energy and power meters books include, "Stopping Power Meters," "KW-HR Meters," "The IG Manual," " The "MDVR Manual," "Rippled-Off! and others, most (but not all) of which are found in our webpages. Much of our knowledge to develop consumertronics.net power / energy meter vulnerability testing for us to develop the meter vulnerability technology to do these infamous manuals was derived from this very book! Our exciting consumertronics.net meter products got us a personal appearance on CBS "60 Minutes," " other electronic newsmedia interviews, and articles in various printed newsmedia.

Much of the electric meter information we used in our Consumertronics.net's research, design and development of our exciting electrical energy books, manuals, software and hardware was derived from this very book (see our webpages for "STOPPING POWER METERS," "KW-HR METERS," "IG MANUAL," and "LOADFINDER")! It is literally a goldmine of hard-to-find information on electrical energy and power meters. It is our #1 reference - the electric meters bible - and we cannot recommend it highly enough! With today's skyrocketing energy costs, everyone should know how electrical power and energy meters work and what can cause them to malfunction either up or down.

Be advised that the common commercial electric meter used by power companies and electric utility companies to measure consumption in homes and businesses is NOT a precision instrument of laboratory quality. During its lifetime it is typically subjected to many large swings in temperature, humidity, electrical surges and spikes, environmental vibration, and sometimes even physical shock that degrade meter accuracy.

Used in great condition. The hard cover binding and pages are all in very good condition. Along the edges of the pages, as you can see, we have printed my name, "John Williams." Published by the Edison Electric Institute, New York, NY, from which we personally picked this fantastic book up from. 7th Edition, 1965, 781 pages, heavily illustrated. 5-1/2" x 8-3/4".
