Hi. These are just opinions, I was not trying to disprove any theories. The rise of hot fluids should obey more to a volcanic effect than to earthquakes, but there is some interrelationship between them. Rising well waters would be highly masked by rainfall figures, seasonal irrigation activity, even dam operations or beaver works nearby. I do not know about other effects, but would be interesting to have real* radon levels data in fault and not fault zones, and in geothermic generation wells, geysers and alike. If California is the most fault active, these maps tells the opposite relationship about radon : ---->http://www.radon.com/maps/ ---->http://new.geoassurance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/RadonByZip.jpg ---->http://www.epa.gov/radon/states/california.html ---->http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/images2/radon-map.gif But hey, that is one measurement one given day when the data was collected unless it is a permanent watch map... *And depending which institution you ask, will find differing maps Believe all, or none.

A tenth of a watt could do it too... For longer distances, raise power a little... --->

Carefully observe at least the graphs here : ----> http://apollo.lsc.vsc.edu/classes/met455/notes/section6/2.html And re-think for 10 Km. Rock in faults accumulate stress and heat up, obviously warming its surrounds. Friction during earthquakes release heat. And a guess, after an earthquake, rocks reabsorb surrounding heat to an equilibrium point. The heat propagation from a geological fault is not upwards only, but spherically into its surrounds, leaving only a tiny portion to surface, if any, and years after, if any, and greatly masked by weather. Note that after such tiny, tiny upwards heat has traveled upwards kilometres, encounters soil layers that in turn, propagate heat in all directions. Murphy's law states that the heat heading towards the thermal measuring instruments you placed in the surface will be much, much less, if any, than the heat traveling to anywhere else your thermal instruments were not installed. A sealed deep, deep, and dry cave -with not even human body heat in it to alter measurements- in a fault zone, would be a place to start your research for years waiting an earthquake. The day that such event happens, Murphy's law states that the measuring instruments will be experiencing a malfunction, a power interruption, or you name it.

Is the mechanics of swimming by fish more energy efficient than boat propellers ? Was it ever proved/disproved/calculated ? (As per comparative construction of artificial caudal fin propulsion)

Water, or frogs, or even frogs in water levitate happily. But you will need many $$$$ for the device to work, not just a screw and a little bit of wire... Try a 16 Tesla field ---->

Any electric light bulb can start fire with the glass removed and the incandescent element ignites a proper mixture of something at turn on. An automotive cigarette lighter would last much longer on 12V, but its light is faint.

Hi. And where in the land -or soil- did those 'several' studies measured the temperature ? Atmosphere boundary soil surface, 1cm. below surface, 10 cm below surface, 100 cm below surface ? ... I would venture to say that measuring temperature any less than 15 metres depth would be affected by a cloudy or sunny, or snowy, or rainy day in such way that uncertainty would take over such theory. After an earthquake happens and heat is released, the propagation speed of heat in soil is so slow and usual fault depths so great, that such land temperature change would show something months or years later, if ever, also due to heat dissipation and attenuation.

For the 'old' part, I bought 40 years ago, and still have, a kit like this, but the box is orange color and marked "Radium" It behaves as you say about the luminosity, charging by light and losing its 'charge' in about a minute. Perhaps that is what you are asking for ? ----> http://www.orau.org/ptp/collection/radioluminescent/favoritetouchupkit.htm

Hi. Is this correct ? <Polyethylene terephthalate PETE is soluble in phenol, chlorophenol, nitrobenzene and dimethyl sulphoxide> Is there others ?

Geiger counters do not work on firefly guts squished on the floor, or do they ?

Well, if after evaluating samples and not satisfied, an alternative : ---->http://www.aerogel.com/markets/industrial-hot-products.html Check Aspen and Thermoblock brands. Cannot tell if prices will be convincing.

lassez : It is not like window or bottle glass. It is the nearest artificial thing to pumice. I have handled it and weighs near to nothing. Smashing it with a hammer produces crumbs as old bread would, with no dangerous edges, unless you go barefoot... Iñigo can order samples in blocks form, use staggered for covering the hot thingy and evaluate, or carve them with an abrasive wheel-stone-disc if needed to fit unusual surfaces, or leave some air gap to the insulated surface.

Hi Iñigo. Give this some thought : ----> ----> After time stamp 4:30 ----->

OK, I'll bite. In my opinion, garment production by robots in USA would not beat chinese factories. It may make it more expensive than currently is from any existing sweat shops in U.S. Because if those robots are made in USA, * with strambotic costs to produce them, their absurd maintenance and repair fees. (or do you want to buy chinese robots ? ) And the still absolute necessity of personnel handling transportation in and out the factory, feeding the robots; administrative and hidden costs, (or do you want to employ chinese inmigrants ? ) designing the products; (or do you want the chinese to do the design patterns in vogue ? ), the cost of fabrics (or do you plan to import the fabrics from China ? ) The parts to put together/fix robots would likely come from China also, by the same reason * above In the remote chance that U.S. robotic garments come down to competitive prices, the result would be outsourcing to other chinese in the robot manufacturing industry instead of the sewing chinese labor. { Skidding off topic, the problem is in the too high US salaries driven by a multitude of factors and greed. } Having worked in 'automated' electronics factories in US, robots handle only the repetitive actions, yes, at a much faster speed. And those factories I worked at, ended closing doors and outsourcing the production of equipment similar to laptops and iphones to the $%^&@ orientals. No, unable to find a job for 2 years. {Skidding off topic again, certain protesters against the chinese being paid a couple of dollars per day working for US corporations, do not notice that a pound of meat is 20 cents there and in US is $8.999 a pound. So who is being ripped off the most ?} Sorry, delete the rant if necessary.

Understood ! Thanks, gentlemen.

Hi. Is there a method of calculation for a magnetic field distant from the magnet itself ? Say: ================================================X <--- long iron bar N magnet S ================================================Y <--- long iron bar A magnet at left end, of known field strength, intimately attached to polished surfaces, between long iron bars, produces a magnetic flux between far right points X and Y. How are the bars length a factor in the value of the flux at the far end ? For sure iron purity, spacing, thickness... have an influence too; but let's discuss only the length. Would there be a zero flux at an infinite length ?

Hi. Is the exhalation of CO2 by plants in periods of darkness -as night time- a necessary biological process for their proper growth, or are unaffected growing better/more with full time natural + artificial illumination ?

Thanks. I understand the convenience, elbows, shoulders and hands positioning... not part of the subject. The thing is comparing with another wheelchair with the same base width. Take a 'normal' wheelchair and bring the high of the wheels inward, with same center of gravity. How that improves stability?

If the center of gravity is kept at the same place; the footprint of solid tires is equal and at the same distance, What are the effects of angling the shafts as in this setting, instead of / compared to the 'normal' horizontal shaft Why if the answer is stability ?

Just tried. With isopropyl alcohol at 50% into gasoline. Water does separate. So gasoline has pure alcohol dissolved in it now. Is it fine to suspect the same for other alcohols ? The ethanol that is being added to commercial gasoline has to be very pure, or the bottom of fuel tanks in automobiles would have water; right ?

Hi. Which wood would yield better/more methanol; 'alive' freshly cut timber or 'dry' old dead wood ?

Hi. Ethanol mixes with gasoline, Water mixes with ethanol; What happens if ethanol with some water dissolved in it is mixed with gasoline ? Is there separation ? What are the components that separate ? Is there a ratio when it does not separate ? What if it is methanol ?

Thanks. If it is supposed to be called another way, I do not know. But if a god somehow 'tells' his disciples/followers/leaders to kill a certain population, seems to me it is a religious crime. Would that god be guilty ? Would the fanatics taking blood on their hands be guilty ? Not in front of secular law, but on ethics, as to judge. From the point of view of fanatics, killing may be very well justified/'legal' ; from the point of view of victims, well, the opposite. Fanatics may behave differently as to recognize what may be legal or not. Would that make them equally guilty or not guilty ? Would that lack of recognition/awareness change opinions/concepts about judging their behavior ?

Hi. When a fanatic, group of fanatics, obeying a recognized leader and such leader obeying a god's command, commit genocides, who is guilty ? The leader; the god; the executors of the crimes; or all of them ? Who , if anyone, should not be charged / judged with the religious crime ? (As by following orders) In the case of the military, same question, without god... The top chief, the field commander, the soldiers...

Hi all. Never seen such before yesterday. It is soft, rubbery, wet looks, bright orange, white base, black top. Today it has its point bent down, but still there. There is no more around, nor parts of it as if it was missing something. What is it ??? ----> http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss323/Innernet/P1000982.jpg Other pictures ----> http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss323/Innernet/P1000983.jpg ----> http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss323/Innernet/P1000984.jpg
