  WHAT IS PYTHON? Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed. Often, programmers fall in love with Python because of the increased productivity it provides. Since there is no compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle is incredibly fast. Debugging Python programs is easy: a bug or bad input will never cause a segmentatio...

  WHAT IS AN MCB? HOW DOES IT WORK? A Miniature Circuit Breaker is an electromechanical device designed to protect an electric circuit from over-current - A term to describe an electrical fault caused by either overload or short circuit. Back in the day we protected against over-current by using fuse wire (indeed, we used to sell it!). The principle was fairly simple - an over-current would quite literally, 'blow' the fuse wire by rapidly heating and melting it, thus breaking the electrical connection and in doing so, protected the rest of the electrical circuit. MCBs improve on this functionality as they are usually not destroyed during over-current so are reusable. They are also much easier to use, offering the convenience of 'on/off switching' for circuit isolation and since the conductor is housed within a plastic casing, they are much safer to use and operate. It is important to note that MCBs do not protect humans against electrical shock caused by 'eart...

  MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF ELECTRIC WIRES & TYPES - A wire is a single usually cylindrical, flexible strand or rod of metal. Wires are used to bear mechanical loads or electricity and telecommunications signals. Wire is commonly formed by drawing the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate. Wire gauges come in various standard sizes, as expressed in terms of a gauge number. The term 'wire' is also used more loosely to refer to a bundle of such strands, as in "multi-stranded wire", which is more correctly termed a wire rope in mechanics, or a cable in electricity. Wire comes in solid core, stranded, or braided forms. Although usually circular in cross-section, wire can be made in square, hexagonal, flattened rectangular, or other cross-sections, either for decorative purposes, or for technical purposes such as high-efficiency voice coils in loudspeakers. Edge-wound coil springs, such as the Slinky toy, are made of special flattened wire. Forms of wire - S...

  HOW SOLAR PANELS ARE MADE? We all know by now, that a solar panel is a device that absorbs sunlight and converts this energy into usable electricity. As the price of a solar panel goes down and efficiencies improve, it is attracting masses all over the world to go off the grid. Once you incur the cost of a solar system and its installation, you can practically generate free electricity over the next 25-30 years. But how is this solar panel made, what materials are involved, how different parts are put together to result in a device that is capable of providing you with free electricity? Are you curious about how a solar panel is made? What processes are involved to get to the final product? Well, for all those who are seeking answers to these questions, you have come to the perfect place. Today we are going to take you inside Loom Solar’s factory at Sonipat, Haryana, where we meet Mr. Anoop - Engineer, who will take us through all these processes in a step by step manner. There...
