Acoustic diagnosis of electrical problems on the electric grid!
I'm building a tool that allows you to determine the health of an electric transformer from only your phone. It tells you:
- the loading
- the health of the windings and core
- and whether the phases are unbalanced
I used to be a submariner, so my professional background is in power plants and sonar analysis, so I'm getting to combine the two in this.
Acoustic diagnosis of electric issues is FASCINATING, and it feels like there hasn't been a lot of research into this, so I have been slowly chasing down various acoustic patterns I find and try to derive them from first principles of physics.
I'm making an iPhone app for it, and Xcode has been truly awful: non-deterministic, crashing all the time, and error messages that tell me absolutely nothing. I would like to use xtool, but it doesn't have the preview, which I need for debugging.
I used to be a submariner and now work in an unrelated acoustic space (acoustic analysis of the electric grid), but I'd love to learn more about the DAS world — my email is in my profile.
