Talk:Sabbath elevator
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Capacitor vs. Resistor
"Regenerative braking is also disabled if it is normally used, shunting energy collected from downward travel, and thus the gravitational potential energy of passengers, into a capacitor network. This prevents violation of the Shabbat prohibition against doing useful work"
I believe the original statement of "into a resistor network" is correct, as the article is referring to what happens in the case the elevator being in Sabbath mode. 134.173.56.219 04:54, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sabbath
This article is named "Sabbath elevator", but the See also link links to "… Shabbath". Is it Sabbath or Shabbath?
