It's not like your word is worth anything here, Eric. You're a proven liar, remember?Eric StevensEric StevensSandman
Apart from the fact that I probably have had a far better technical education in these matters than have you
Haha, you're a hoot!
Well, I do have a degree in engineering which, although it was in mechanical engineering, was for several years identical to the electrical engineering degree.
I understand it fully and how you have to use it because you don't understand what is being discussed. It's common among laymen to try to simplify things they don't understand, it's not you. But only you would simplify things and then argue with the people that knows more about it than you.Eric Stevensand that I have spent more time fiddling with electrical and electronic devices than you have been alive, I would not be so foolish as to claim that a device which supplies power is not a power supply. I don't know why you persist in this inanity.Sandman
See what I mean? This reminds you of your "black box" laymen analogy of the word "protocol". When you don't understand how things work, you use the simplest words. It's akin to you saying "Eh, it does stuff, and then voila, power". :-D
That you have not yet understood the 'black box' concept is telling.
Correct.Eric StevensSandman
A PSU never has any power. A PSU has a power input and a power output. It never has any power of its own.
A Power Supply Unit never has any power.
No, it's the actual definition.Eric StevensI can just see you plugging your car into the electrical main supply to enable you to start it. Either that or you get the local kids to give it a push.Sandman
A battery is a power *SOURCE*, just as your wall socket is a power *SOURCE* (or rather, the power plant that produces the power). A PSU takes power from a power source and regulates it for the load. It does not - I repeat - it does not have any power on its own.
That's the Sandman definition.

You're way out of your league here. If you want to think a battery is a PSU, go right ahead while I'll laugh my ass off.
I hope we get to see a photograph.
