Re: [Phys-l] decibels

My preference is for rms power for vacuum cleaners as well as audio amps.
Being able to handle spikes is fine too - but another question entirely - or so it seems to me.

I would expect a vacuum cleaner that has more hp output than the watts inputted to get COLD. ;-)

bc still puzzled by the "inflated value -- where or what is it.
