Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I stumbled upon an interesting resource the other day I'd like to share, as others may find it useful too. One can get a complete engineering education here for the cost of a broadband internet connection:

http://nptel.iitm.ac.in/videocourselist.php

So far have watched video nr. 36/37 of the series of lectures on 'basic electrical technology'. Very worthwhile. It explains, amongst other things, exactly *how* a high pole count yields slow machines (low RPM). First time I ever saw it explained as good as this. It can also be viewed on YouTube, along with other videos of the series.

Hopefully others will find it useful too. Appears they also have courses on electromagnetic fields, power electronincs, mechanical engineering, fluid dynamics, manufacturing planning and control, etc. Most courses consist of ~40 lectures.

Edit: the NPTEL site seems to be down at the moment.Edited by Dinges 2008-08-20

What sort of bandwidth are you talking about Dinges... I get 1 gig/month... Normally use 5=800mb... just how big are the lessons. (I have no experience at watching video because of bandwidth cost thus far)

I'm not sure Oz, but each lecture is about 1 hour of video. Resolution isn't low either. I expect you'd get through your quota pretty quickly.

Ron did some math. He estimates to be about 2500 hours worth of lectures there... 63 courses of 40 hours each. He keeps telling me I'm an idiot, but that after I watch all those videos I'll be a smart idiot.
