Story: Dialogue Box 4.4: Dual-band 802.11n shoot-out
20 watts???
A very interesting experiment and a surprising result...useful to know so thanks chaps, for doing this !
I did not quite follow the point about the 19 or 21 watts of power used. As you mentioned 2.5 watts is to be expected using 500mA at 5v, so where did this notion of the 20watts come from? Even if you could persuade a USB port to deliver this much power, surely it would quickly fry the average dongle?
Could somebody's finger have slipped on a calculator or was this arrived at during a discussion down at the (now famous) local?
Anyway, your videos are always excellent viewing, so keep it up!
Cheers,
Mike.
