What's the most clever use of physics you've seen in engineering? The Dyson vacuum's cyclonic separation uses centrifugal force to remove dust from the air without needing a traditional filter.

Dynamic braking of a dc motor! You wanna stop that motion fast? Short it! Stops immediately! Just make sure the short circuit can handle the temp current surge.

So cool! Another cool exmaple is the Maglev train, which uses magnetic fields to lift and propel the train without friction, making it incredibly efficient and fast. The physics behind it is fascinating, and it’s amazing to see it applied in real-world tech-- look up YT videos!

I think Maglev trains are so cool!

That's nothing new, that concept has been around for a while in different industries. Commercial separators use that for dust/chip collectors in wood fabrication. Farm tractors had something similar as a pre-treatment for air intake before going into an oil bath filter.

But I do agree, it's very cool to see the application of "simple" physics principles.

The Dyson is a good one, though not as unique as you’d think. One of the units at a refinery is actually just a giant cyclone set up that looks just like the Dyson vacuum and was around long before it.

Radio waves go through the air and are received and played back.

Can anybody please suggest if I clear their interviews will they consider increasing CTC from whatever I quoted becase upon searching for ACon roles they pay much higher than what I quoted.

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
