- [EE] The doing of EE that you can do yourself. Power stations go into TECH unless it's a power station that you can build. So too eg Magnetohydrodynamics etc. Windmill alternators and related systems and alternate energy at the doing level go into EE. Windfarms into TECH. etc - - [TECH] About technology, Engineering other than EE, science hard stuff. NOT the philosophy of science in any depth. New discoveries in QM= , cosmology etc are fine. Almost anything that gets a long thread that diverges can probably evolve into OT once people know it exists. Those w= ho care can follow it. eg Global Warming is TECH at the latest discoveries level but not discussions of "An inconvenient truth" or "The great globa= l warming swindle" etc. This may rate an occasional mention in TECH but lo= ng ramblings can go to OT. "Engineering other than EE"... A: I don't know anything about vacuum systems. B: I don't consider vacuum systems "electronic" in any way. C: I think vacuum systems for scientific glassblowing fit "science hard stuff" D: Certainly could become "OT" (the great misc drawer of the piclist) But the mod is always right.
