... etc

For those who have/use IRC, my bot can help with these things too. Converting to/from AWG, resistance etc.

15:35:40-1/09/09| <RossW> !awg 4/0
15:35:40-1/09/09| <RossBot> 0000 (4/0) AWG wire is
0.166191 square inches (107.219553 square mm,
11.684019mm dia), 0.156501 ohms per Km Cu
(0.247623 Al)

15:36:50-1/09/09| <RossW> !awg 12
15:36:50-1/09/09| <RossBot> 12 AWG wire is 0.005129
square inches (3.308781 square mm, 2.052529mm
dia), 5.071355 ohms per Km Cu (8.024104 Al)

15:37:39-1/09/09| <RossW> !2awg 4
15:37:39-1/09/09| <RossBot> 4.000000 sq mm (0.006200
sq inch) wire is 11 AWG, 4.195000 ohms per Km Cu
(6.637500 Al)

it also can do your standard volts/ohms/amps/watts by taking any two and telling you all the others:

15:39:10-1/09/09| <RossW> !ohmslaw 400w 25.6v
15:39:10-1/09/09| <RossBot> 25.600 volts at 15.625 amps
through 1.638 ohms for 400.000 watts

and wind power, air density and a heap of other things. (And there's usually someone to chat to there too!)
