What is the best fantasy series without elves and dragons?
Q. I am so tired of eleves and dragons. What do you think is the best fantasy series that avoid major fantasy cliches? I am looking for a series of 3 or more books.

A. Check out Mary Stewart's series about Merlin and King Arthur. Marion Zimmer Bradley's "The Mists of Avalon" is another retelling of the King Arthur story and there are several prequels to it. George R.R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" series does have some dragons in it but the man doesn't deal in fantasy cliches. He breaks the rules. If he were Tolkien, he would have killed off Bilbo Baggins. It's my favorite series by far. If you really don't loathe elves and dragons but are tired of formulaic fantasy like Robert Jordan's take a look at R.A. Salvatore's Drizzit series, or if he's what you're tired of, give Raymond E. Feist a try. They both have the basic fantasy elements but reading them isn't like the same thing over and over… [cont.]

Why should a series motor always start with a load?
Q. Why should a series motor always start with a load? Why should a shunt motor always start without a load?
Asked by methatsme - Wed Jan 30 11:20:39 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Series motors are designed to generate large starting torque. They draw heavy current producing 2.25 times the max rated torque at start-up. When there is no load connected, speed of a series motor increases to the point where the motor draws excessive current. Usually, either the bearings are damaged or the windings fly out of the slots in the armature. There is a danger to both equipment and personnel. This precaution is primarily for large motors. Small motors, such as those used in electric hand drills, have enough internal friction to load themselves. If the load on the shunt motor is increased, the motor tends to slow down. When this happens, the counter emf generated in the armature decreases. This causes a corresponding decrease… [cont.]
