dragonstar57 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) would activating a large electromagnet create an EMP? or if you just turned it on and off quickly would that be an EMP? Edited February 2, 2011 by dragonstar57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sure, and your cell phone will create EMPs and use them to communicate. However when people talk about EMPs they usually mean ones powerful enough to fry electronics. An electromagnet really isn't going to do that.

An electromagnet really isn't going to do that. well i had an idea to try to build a electromagnet and i was woried that it might disrupt nearby electronics (would it damage anything at close range? such as >5 feet) and how would you make an electromagnet big enough to pick up small metal components from 8-10 yards? how close close can an electronic device be before it is damaged by a magnetic field of this strength?

dragonstar57 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) how do you find out how much memory is used/free/total on your computer? (using windows xp) Edited February 3, 2011 by dragonstar57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 how do you find out how much memory is used/free/total on your computer? (using windows xp) RAM memory should be under the ctrl-alt-del Task Manager, under the "processes" tab (and then look at the bottom right corner for the total). Harddisk memory you can find by right-clicking on the harddisk icon (in "My Computer"), and choosing properties at the bottom. For the total harddisk memory of all disks combined, you have to add up all the harddisks and partitions manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonstar57 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 would covering the walls of a room with reflective crystals create any odd optical effects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 would covering the walls of a room with reflective crystals create any odd optical effects? Depends on whether you consider a potentially huge number of reflections and refractions an odd optical effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonstar57 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 what happens when salt and bleach is mixed can you poor bleach in you're water softener to clean out the lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 what happens when salt and bleach is mixed I think you just get salty bleach. can you poor bleach in you're water softener to clean out the lines? I doubt it would help much, unless you are concerned about its color or possible bacteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonstar57 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I think you just get salty bleach. I doubt it would help much, unless you are concerned about its color or possible bacteria. the salt is crystallizing and making it so the softener is not working very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be a polarizing effect related, the xenon type bulb uses more power, more luminosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.B.Kennedy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I have a quick question. Can brainwaves affect the brain? I know we have sensors which can detect brainwaves that originate in the brain, but is it possible to synthetically produce that kind of wave and send it to the brain to be perceived? That way, brain computer interfaces could be two-way and facilitate true virtual reality. If anyone knows of any research in that area please post a link.
