Will the spark gap produce bad uv probs for your eyes and whats the potential for x ray production. Has anyone ever tried to build a silencer exhaust around the spark gap and what about using a rotating gap to keep it cool. Has anyone tried to make a motor control for the spark gap instead of controling the supply volts. sorry for all the questions in one go.

I was being silly realy. I could disconnect the upstairs ring and use that or use the cooker outlet as that should cope with about 20A constant. How much would it cost and where do you get wire with that kind of insulation.

Sorry lance yes it was 5614 and sorry 5614. 10 A Well thats stuffed my plans for bomfire night. Dam IEE wiring regs. Who in their right mind thought a 13 A outlet would be enough.

Any idea how much current is drawn by those big coils in lances pics. Thanks lance thats better than a fire works display.

I want one. Pray for me.

A lot of the ones around now use wax.

I agree but its like when some one says hey did you hear about oh never mind it doesn't matter.

Deleted due to the fact I'm a prat and didn't read the question properly.

I hate it when any of them end. They always seem to go the same way as though somebody just says wrap it up then your all fired and the writers don't give a ***** what happens. Whats this mini series I think I missed it. Has it been on in the uk. Has anyone got an opinion on crusade. I think the effects aren't as good as babylon and the actings got more wood than a porno but I'm glad the story continues.

Do the lung fish its a very interesting creature. The hibernation is due to lack of water though so I'm not sure if it would fit your project.http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/vertebrates/sarco/dipnoi.html

At the stop point the inertial forces and gravity cancel so there is no acceleration.

I don't want to change or damage this thread and what I have previously put forward is only my opinion, but if you look at the theory of space time and movement again and fully understand it allbeit with an open mind it explains entanglement and the weirdness barrier. Please continue to post in this thread I only wish to offer a possible explanation.

I think its that the primary coil normaly has current flowing according to its resitance and self attenuation from its own inductance. When the closed secondry is brought in the back emf in it as the polarity switches lasts long enough for its magnetic flux to induce a current in the primary in the same direction as the reversing current from the mains and this is a higher current than would normaly flow. This higher current would then induce a bigger flow in the secondry and the effect would cascade to the limits of the circuit.

No. The comp needn't be that big either. Small sections of the program could be run at a time and time would only pass as fast as the program ran. Drat.

Thanks for your concern chaps, much apreciated. I have inadvertently change the course of the thread though so I think we shouldn't talk about this now. But still thanks again.

I think space ends in black holes.

mmMMmmm stainless arghglarghhh

Try a tube and piston. Drill large holes at the top and get smaller and smaller towards the bottom and finnish with no holes. The piston and catcher will have to just have enough friction to stay at the top on its own or you could use grease to help it to stick a bit. The catcher could be three or more rods spreading at 45 degs up from the rod coming from the piston with a net stretched across them. The rods will need to bend slightly inwards when the egg tensions the net and pulls it down so the rods tips will close above it. You may wish to pre bend the rods so that with egg in the net they dont press on the egg from the sides. Start with thin wire rods and increase the number untill the egg just stops comfortably short of the piston rod. Start with smaller fewer holes and drop similar weight onto the piston and increase the number/diammeter of holes untill you get a smooth drop to a stop as the air cussion forms where the holes run out.

get a can of lighter gas and a can of lighter fluid and make a spray tube use the gas to draw the fluid and spray it. a flame thrower. will most likley blow but if you do it somewhere safe and light it from a distance it could be a laugh. do at your own risk.

The closest you can get is an all permanent magnet motor but thats not perpetual as the magnets supply the force and required energy to be imparted to generate the force.

I believe that its an effect of the brain running multiple programs which are linked and exchange information and the nervous system giving spacial and internal information to these programs that causes a loop of self observation.
