What is auto-transformer? what is its functions?

May 05, 2009 by Michael C | Posted in Engineering

and what does capacitor have to do with auto-trans?
what is capacitor bank (which would be suited inside the starter)?
and why is its capacitor units are in KVAR? what's the difference between KVA and KVAR?

Auto-transformer is a single-winding transformer with taps. With primary voltage applied to the primary terminals, the required secondary voltage from zero volts to the rated primary volts can be availed from the secondary by varying the taps. The advantage

Review: The litl webbook

I need to apologize up front: This review could get long.  The “ litl ” is an unusual device, from an unusual company , and it deserves an in depth look and analysis.

This is something new.  This isn’t just another netbook.  It’s not a tablet.  It’s not running Windows or Android or MacOS X.

So what, exactly, is the litl webbook (usually just called the “litl”)?

It’s like a Netbook .  Kinda.  But not really.

The basic idea is this: An always connected, web-focused device that anyone in the house can use… that transforms from netbook into an easel-shaped internet appliance.  And it has a wheel on it.

With me so far?  Let’s go over this one feature at a time.

The Hardware

From a purely physical standpoint, the litl is a remarkably odd thing .  And I mean that in the best way possible.

The screen is 12.1 inches (1280 x 800) with an excellent viewing angle (meaning it looks great no matter what angle you look at it from).  I would say the screen in the litl rivals that in many LCD TV’s in terms of quality.  This is a rather astounding thing in a device that is, to the casual observer, a “laptop”.

Under the hood, the litl is powered by an Intel Atom Z540 (1.86GHz) processor backed by 1GB of RAM and an Intel GMA 500 graphics chip.  (AKA: Plenty of horsepower for a web-focused device, but nothing out of the ordinary.)

Here’s where things start to get a little crazy:

There’s no user accessible storage.

None.  Nadda.  No hard drive.  No Solid State Disk.  The only storage at all is a 2GB Compact Flash drive that is used by the OS (no direct access by the user).

“Say whuuuuu?” you ask.  To which I can only say, “Yes.  It makes sense.  Keep reading.”
