Generally, what are the requirements for a 1099 consulting engineer that is not licensed in a state? It seems you can do he engineering work but you can't stamp or validate anything to the public.
Cranky,
It doesn't operate faster. It operates instantly just due to physics. There is no lag. It is just energy put into or taken out of tons of spinning metal. The response after like 15 seconds isn't inertial but of governor valves opening up to pass more steam to increase generation...
System inertia I believe shouldn't be looked at as providing fault current because fault current is very reactive. I think the best way to think about system inertia is that it is conceptually something that provides or stores energy instantly when there is a difference between generation and...
gte447f,
I am not saying you are right or wrong and I probably should be contacting the state boards to get a very specific interpretation. When I was going through archived threads, the point about architects hiring engineers to do work for them was one of the situations that made me feel...
I understand your statement and don't think it is invalid. It is just the notion that engineering services aren't sold by intermediary parties is kind of flimsy when you have contract houses, service agreements, and other types of employment arrangements. I am not saying you are wrong and I...
The guy would being paying me hourly with a retainer. He does NERC, electrical grid compliance. He said he used to have a guy and that guy got a big project so no longer had time for him. I think the guy is running into a situation where he is small enough that he doesn't have full time work...
I have a guy that wants to be able to have engineering services available so that he can offer a complete package to his customers. It is looking like I want to setup a retainer type agreement so that he stays high priority in being able to get engineering services quickly for his clients. His...
When do you sign an NDA? I have someone that might want me to do work for them but it has never been spelled out nor has the means of compensation or anything. It feels like I am walking backwards into something without everything else being spelled out. I am fine with a scope that doesn't have...
High resistance grounding gets you many of the benefits of ungrounded systems without all the draw back. You have low fault current, can maintain operations, easier fault location, and all without having to insulate the system for transient overvoltages.
IRStuff,
The point is to try things that are low risk and low commitment first. So, he gets another job and 3 months into it, he realizes that that didn't fix anything. Or he realizes his med school pipedream was better just as fantasy. Going to med school might be the cure but god damn it...
Strucpatholgst,
If this was a passion, I would say go all for it if it was feasible without too many sacrifices. It might not be that but often people think it is. I think that before someone does something like this, they really need to figure out what they are missing from their current...
I am not you so I don't know how you evaluate certain things. I would strongly try to determine what you like about a job and try to fit it into a side gig or a related occupation. People get hung up on needing to do a certain thing and often when they get a chance to do that thing, it never...
