Stands for the French phrase "intensite du courant". Don't have to use it, but you'd end up out of step with everyone else. Just hafta bite the bullet. <br /><br />If you prefer, WAV and VAO (Watts, Amps, Volts and Ohms) can be used in the MTs, working directly in units. <br /><br />The DtanAS MT helps figure height OR separation and distance off. Horizontal OR vertical. Depends on what you know, going into the calculation. <br /><br />Dave ZDave Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241033623115158564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-1255665081638195162016-02-23T11:58:21.751-09:002016-02-23T11:58:21.751-09:00Hi Joel,

I was chatting with some solar nerd people who were trying to tell me how simple and straight-forward it is to calculate whatever. To <i>prove</i> their point, they started by saying, <b>"OK, just take _W_atts, which we'll call 'P', and _A_mps, which we'll call 'I' and then ..."</b> The most infuriating part is that they seem oblivious to why that is a problem at all. Makes me want to bonk them on the head with the closest heavy object.<br /><br />In the case of the triangle with "tanA", I assume that the most likely practical use is to estimate more accurately a visual horizontal distance, for example, across the water?<br /><br />Dave, thanks for trying to make a bad thing for some of us a bit better.<br /> Yodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955078083178330883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-29927870909111693622016-02-21T22:54:34.113-09:002016-02-21T22:54:34.113-09:00Very nice!

Boat building has ground to an ignominious halt here. Hospital stays and visits, and chemotherapy has seen to it. Hopefully things will return to some sort of normal sometimes soon.
