That article doesn't discuss anything useful about capacitors, and certainly nothing about ripple current. Spam.

I thought the same, Lionel, but this method doesn't require any programming (often a good thing). IR is correct, though, this doesn't need two relays... the circuit is overly complicated for the intended purpose.

Plenty of things wrong with that schematic, and some may or may not be your issue... right off the bat I see both of your LED drivers are wired incorrectly (you connect power to the chip input and output), so the top LED is always on, and the bottom is at some floating voltage. I see no load of...
Parts per billion? You may have a tough time there... per million is readily found at all of the usual component shops.
Curious why you need to detect such low concentrations...

I have never had the need to look for solar cells... never expected them on DigiKey, either. Good to know. Thanks, Jim!

Technically, this machine has no 'stop' button... certainly not an emergency stop. Not my field, but I would certainly question any machine of this size not having some form of mushroom stop clearly located and indicated.

Fair warning... anyone who emails me by figuring out my company's email address pattern will be immediately relegated to the virtual round file. If I did not provide my email address directly to you, it's entirely too presumptuous to assume I want you contacting me through that channel. I...
For one-offs like this, it may not even be worth calculating... make some temporary attachments and see if the system will move as intended. If not, beef it up.
I second itsmoked's suggestion, however, of moving this somewhere less dangerous (i.e., closer to the ground)... if that's not...
I could see a fairly inexpensive "helper" gadget... place an anemometer at the top of every bouncy castle. When wind speeds start to approach unsafe limits, it sets off an alarm. It won't solve the problem of sudden wind bursts that come out of nowhere, but it would likely give fair warning in...
No more/less than in any other situation. I might question how long they plan on staying with my company if they've already retired and have to come back, but then that's why face-to-face conversation are important.

I know, right? 'cause Section 8 automatically means the person is a moron with no skills. Thank God we have all of those intelligent and useful non-Section 8 folk to guide them. [noevil]
