The Devils Science Notes How to Generate Power Remember nothing is impossible, existence is proof of that and if you hear anyone saying it [worse yourself] insert “to your knowledge” as a cravat. least you sucome to stupidity again.. Static electricity To Current Flow An ancient greek discovered small objects were attracted to a substance called amber [typically: C10H16O. formed from tree sap]. and this was called static electricity. This was discovered more then 600 years before christ. if you rub plastic against wool, it takes a charge, and you can get balloons to stick to walls and other things. in fact you can use charged plastic to divert water from a tap! as things become attracted to the charge. seems to work better in dry weather conditions. William Gilbert (16th century) coined the phrase “Elektron” which means amber in greek when he started researching which objects could be charged. the triboelectric effect [note: rubbing glass with silk causes build up of charge. two surfaces coming into contact cause adhesion, a chemical bond does too much of one cause it to break? (exothermic/endothermic reactions/resonance movement of charge glass shattering?) electrochemical potential] Now I could bring in the bagdad batteries, the midus touch and other works and say alchamists have known how to make lead vitirol batteries and other things of that nature for years *cough* see alchemical texts like David BEUTHER printed 1718 and other works in art XIV which discuss red lead HgS the red lion, cinnabar in greater detail, as you compare and contrast it to the cold fusion debate we are facing today, as not all our scientists can get their head around it and may be several nd centuries/millionere behind the curve! : i.e. take your 2 law of thermodymanics and shove it up your arse as that lot are worse then religion! with no proof and or facts to back up their case, i.e. morons who don’t want anyone to succeed at anything, so say something is impossible much like religion scares you off the psychic side/occult and its just pisses me off as you can’t ignore knowledge instead. it all has to factored in!. as we get back to the “official” authorised by government version of history/knowledge instead : Benjamin Franklin (1747) in America and William Watson both reached the conclusion that it was a kind of electrical "fluid." that all things possessed. I’m going to argue heat is another type of fluid, which doesn’t get on with the electron fluid (magnets work better in the cold and heat resists!) while heat joins things together (acts like glue – burn hydrogen becomes H20) while too much of it breaks things (i.e. solid melts) because if you compress a gas, it looses heat!, while expanding it absorbs heat (refrigeration) while electricity on h20 weakens the bonds (even if this is the result of push/pull attractions at the cathode/anode) making it easier to separation and its somehow this relation with matter that confuses the lot. i.e. a magnet wont stick to a copper tube, and yet if you drop the magnet down it, it slows down/tries to stick as this movement pushes the “electrons” on. which causes it to circulate in a loop. i.e. electrons are attracted to areas which have none, while it is repelled from those which have it. much like heat is attracted to areas Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes which have none, while repelled from areas which have it. and I think ive just blown the lot because. applying some heat to certain bonds, causes an explosion as new bonds form.. which begs the question with electricity if the reverse is true! i.e. hitting a quartz crystal generates volts! or something like that as my brain has just died!!!! and I may have to come back to it Then Lugigi Galvani (1737-1798) noticed that frogs muscle legs contracted when you placed two different metals on it (1771) and then Allessandro Volta (1745-1827) discovered it wasn’t the frog but the difference in the metal. When he placed some foil on a silver coin. put one end above the tongue, and the other beneath it. this getting an acid taste. at which point he moved on to sticking sulphuric acid in a cup with zinc/copper plates either end as the first battery! 1806 Humphrey Davy, an Englishman, demonstrated a powerful electric lamp to the Royal Society. which featured an arc between two charcoal rods, but required lots of voltage to achieve. now it didn’t take long for people to start experimenting with things. and well things glow when they get hot, so perhaps we need to remove the oxygen to stop it catching fire with people like Frederick DeMoleyns a british inventor patenting ideas in 1941 long before Edison came along and perfected it! In 1879 (age 32) Edison experimented with different materials in a vacuum in order to generate light from heat. apparently using Japanese bamboo in the end grows in Yawata, Kyoto and theres a monument there to his name to make it works) this pretty much snow balled into the stuff we have today. not rocket science. just a matter of trying all the materials till you get one which lasts long enough to be marketable! in this case he was after 600 hours. carbonized cotton filament covered with tar and soot lasted only 45 hours. some bamboo from a fan lasted 200 hours, Madake bamboo of Yawata lasted for 2, 450 hours. known in Japan as "the King of the Inventions” and yeah he had staff as well who were working on it, trying things out so he probably shouldn’t take credit other then for the crass commercialisation of it (perhaps only with the backing ofj morgan as well, who incidently deleted telsa from the history books out of commercial greed – and perhaps put us back 100 years to now! as the race hots up again for free power which is what these notes are for!) Note: alternating current travels further distances, then direct current and to make edisons bulb your going to want to make a vacume pump as well. the better it is, (less oxygen there is!) the slower it burns. LEDs do not burn out and are the difference in the two metals (materials) which generate light when the current flows through it. now given the nature of the universe/material known to man that should be enough to get you started for now Electricity Basics Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes Frequency is measured in Hertz = Hz = how many wave lengths are going by in a second wavelength is denoted by the lamda symbol λ amplitude is the height of the wave, and means it has more energy (louder sounds) small wavelengths = high pitch sounds.

Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes Quartz [SiO2] is used in ultra sound rader (submarines) and they yse graphite to increase the frequency. as the precence of another material in close proximity changes the frequency it resonates at. please bear in mind that ferrite antennas. are used in radios, and are simply lots of turns of copper coiled around a rod and these also produce per for the circuit as well. (weak power) Remember a solar panel is just two sets of material pressed next to each other, which makes use of the photoelectric effect. i.e. it attunes to the frequency of “light” and produces power from it Apparently Hertz observed and then showed that electrodes illuminated with ultraviolet light create electric sparks more easily, and striking a quartz crystal makes them glow using the piezoelectric effect. xrays are produced using high voltage “shooting” electrons from a hot cathode to a metal target (the anode) i.e. tungston, molybendum and sometimes copper as well, compare to capacitors and electrons jumping the gap! as the x-rays are reflected off the tungsten element after the electrons hit. i.e. the electron is pulled around the tungton atom (orbit) and its this combination/slowing down which releases the x-ray energy for use. allegedly but doesn’t make sense to me xray production LEDS are similer in that light is produced after current flows through a cathode/anode of two seperate material A and material b as well often called p-type, n-type based on the consistency. in fact all components exploit these differences . so yes two materials a and b and the effect they have on each other…. can be used for transmission/reception as well (see piezoelectric earpiece/microphone for more.

The voltage is equivalent to the water water pressure, the current is equivalent to the flow rate, and the resistance is like the pipe size P = VI [ power = voltage * Current] Given a choice current will flow down the easier path. You can increase the power generated by a waterwheel in two ways. If you increase the pressure of the water coming out of the hose, it hits the waterwheel with a lot more force orce and the wheel turns faster thus generating more power. If you increase the flow rate, the waterwheel turns faster because of the weight of the extra water hitting it. Current is the flow of charge and is usually measured in amps I = Q /t [where re Q is the amount of charge and t is time.. I is generally current in amps. amps.] current density (i.e. how spaced out it is) depends on the thickness of the area are of the wire! i.e.how wide the pipe is. so I = J.A J is the current density, A is the area of the wire not that it matters, but too much current down a wire is liable to melt it! which is where resistance/tolerance comes in. Ass it travels down a wire, it will also produce a magnetic field (as well as heat). this is circular to the wire rememberr positive bit has too many man electrons and they are flowing to the negative bit. one assumes they are pulled like magnets? Efficiency: I = P/V 100 W / 6 V = 16.66 amps Higher voltages tend to be more efficient, as it pushes through resistance more. The Devils Science Notes ACID (Anode Current Into Device). anode is the positive end of the power source! (the bit which is loosing electrons) while the cathode is the negative end. the bit which is gaining electrons.) i.e. the positive is the bit which is giving it away. while the negative bit is the bit which wants to take them in. notwithstanding the fact that an element with two few electrons has a positive charge. while one which too many is negatively charged if your trying to cover your ass/not look stupid again. as the element is looking to complete its shell. (it wants to be balanced) i.e. anode oxyidisation is taking place (donation of electrons) while the cathode is havin a reduction reaction which gains electrons. OIL RIG - Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain i.e. oxydisation reactions gives off electrons. donate them this is the end which has to many. i.e the postive end, the bit which is going into the circuit!!! while the negative end, is gaining them. it’s not that hard and most people have no idea what they are talking about and are trying to cover their arse, as there is no inconsistency at all. so the anode is most definitely the positive end, which is loosing electrons willy nilly as it flows into the cathode again. both ends will be generating their own reactions (voltage) in the electrolyte if it’s a battery. obviously some morons will label oxidizations as loss (its giving them away) just to complicate things again depending on the diagram/picture and words. ie a lone electron usually has the (–) negative simple attached which represents its charge. this lone electron is attracted to positive charged ions. (i.e. ions which are missing electrons and thus exhibit a greater pull?) as too many electrons on a element make it negative. which is the positive end of a battery. the end which is losing them/going to loose them because it has too many. wants to give them away to things which have none. i.e. the force holding onto them is weaker then the attractive force of the other object. or is it a pushing force which keeps them in place? confused you will be if you read too many smart allec answers to the above! So you have to bare in mind which level of granularity your talking about and what your actually describing. when it comes to labeling diagrams. i.e are you showing. the electon (its negative) moving from a positive (too many) to negative (to few) flow or something else? so yes anode is positive as far as the input device is concerned. i.e. connect the INPUT to the anode, and the output to the cathode (this bit which takes electrons in) to complete the circuit again One AMP is defined as 6,242,000,000,000,000,000 (6.242 x 1018) electrons moving across a point in a circuit in a second. AKA one coulomb One coulomb is also the amount of charge stored by a capacitance of one farad charged to a potential difference of one volt: Wat is a measure of power. one watt is the rate at which work is done when an object is moved at a speed of one meter per second against a force of one newton.. it is equivalent to 1 joule of energy per second Volt = Watts / Current in Amps Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes volt is the measure of electromotive force or electro static potential invented by alessandro volta (1745-1827) We probably need a hose pipe drawing here. to show lots of water being forced through a small area (lots of volts) coming out at high pressure (a shock to the system) to a tiny stream flowing through a large river bed. i.e. the current is lost in the space. so there is no power there at all. i.e. high voltage travel further distances and will push down more paths as there is so many electrons looking to escape it may go down more paths. as if there is very little current there. it will ignore anything with resistance at all. i.e. a led will go out, if you hit a switch in parallel with it. as it will choose that path instead. this is a not gate. called an “inverter” circuit as it reverses the input from 0 to 1 The LED goes out when the switch is pushed down, because its an easier path and the amount of current passing through the circuit is limited by the resister in the set up above. if the switch is open i.e. no electricity can flow. it goes through the led instead and lights up. all components have some resistance and its just lazy I guess. i.e. the element with the stronger pull wins! There are two basic standards for voltage and frequency in the world. One is the North American standard of 110–120 volts at a frequency of 60 Hz, which uses plugs A and B, and the other is the European standard of 220–240 volts at 50 Hz, which uses plugs C through M voltage Voltages of greater than 50 V applied across dry unbroken human skin are capable of producing heart fibrillation if they produce electric currents through the chest area. wet/broken skin can make voltages below 40 volts dangerous as well. Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes however common static electric speaks seen under low-humidity conditions always involve voltage buildups well above 700 V. and these are relatively harmless. so you need the current as well. i.e. it’s the sheer number of electrons being transmitted continuously which does the damage in the end Apparently sparks to car doors in winter can be as high as 20,000 volts as well! and van de graff generators and wimshurst machines can go as high as a million with a brief sting. so perhaps voltage isn’t all its cracked up to be an average bolt of positive lightning (from the top of a thunderstorm) may carry a current of 300 to 500 kiloamperes, transfer a charge of up to 300 coulombs, have a potential difference up to 1 gigavolt (a billion volts), and may dissipate enough energy to light a 100 watt light bulb for up to 95 years. a bolt can travel to speeds of 60,000 m/s (130,000 mph), and can reach temperatures approaching 30,000 °C and there are some 16 million lightening storms in the world each year which is a lot of power being transferred daily. one could liken it to the effect of a giant plasma ball perhaps… and Nikola telsa artifically created lighting with his telsa coil earth: The three-prong plug was invented by Philip F. Labre after his land lady kept getting electric shocks putting the plug back in, when the cat knocked over her fan. So a ground was added so any excess build up would travel through that to the earth instead of the landlady. Ohms ohms is a measure of electrical resistance V = potential difference or voltage across the component. Ohm's law simply says that the rate of charge flow is directly proportional to the pressure difference, and if the pressure goes up, the flow goes up in proportion. i.e. if you double the length of wire the resistance doubles (so less goes through) now the problem with this is? why? surely if electricity was being pushed. it wouldn’t matter how long the wire is? surely the thickness is all it takes? so why is there a cumulative effect slowing it down with length. is it [electricity] being pushed, or pulled as it backs up, slows down? Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes is a que forming, or is the pull (like magnets) not there, to move the stuff? as really I have no idea! apparently the harder you push, the faster it moves, and we shall leave it with that for now VOLTS/OHMS = COULOMBS/SEC and VOLTS/OHMS = AMPERES VOLTS x COULOMBS = JOULES and AMPERES x OHMS = VOLTS VOLTS x AMPERES = WATTS VOLTS x (VOLTS/OHMS) = WATTS (AMPERESxOHMS) x AMPERES = WATTS Theres a lot of rants on current flow, and it not being the same thing i.e. water moves down the river, the current (flow) is something else, but its spilling and hairs and is probably wrong, as no one seems to know what it is!. i.e. what is matter? what is flow? and what do we see? current is the movement of something but what? I call it power, others call it energy others something else .is this a side effect of something? or the actual thing, and what the f**k is it really? insert your own substance or illusion here, as I don’t know enough to say! not anymore – as all the explanations suck! and their seem little proof to back anything up anymore (if at all) i.e. the anology has become the new religion, as people quote it aggressively without any true understanding of what it rally is! beware people who get aggressive when trying to defend something! they are the same as the zelot who preaches mantra, without any idea of the thing! meditate and reflect on the flow! plasma plasma is a gas, in which a certain proportion of its particles are ionized. i.e. heated gas. electrons separate off. cut a grape in half, stick a glass upside down over it. and put it in a microwave (it tends to ignite) generate plasma (don’t do this experiment at home) radio broadcasting led to discovery of the earths ionosphere, partially ioinised gas in the upper atmosphere which reflects radio waves back down. though it can also absorb and distort it as well (giving rise to ghost signals inter alia) Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes ways [I know] of producing power Wire cutting through a magnetic field will generate power (it also generates heat as well) so the faster we cut the wire/more turns/stronger the field the better our results will be and that is it. or we can also try solar power and harness the photoelectric effect which works on the potential difference of two materials pressed together, which generate power like a solar cell does. or we can hit a quartz crystal (other crystal very hard) and produce the piezoelectric effect and lots of volts. this technique is used in door buzzers (with ceremics/another material as well) i.e. hitting something hard, compassing it produces power or we can use a chemical store [i.e. battery] to produce results. note first battery experiments where just with salt water and made use of two different types of metal/potential difference to produce results i.e. batteries work in series. 6 1v batteries in a line produce 6volts as it sums up (why is this?) as all the power “starts moving?” the other stuff faster as well, much like the wire cutting the magnetic field in the first on? more coils/more speed = more power? and well you do know there is a current/potential difference between the two river banks of the tames? right. not that I can think of how to make a use of it now, but yes… power and storing it up and batteries. a lemon is a battery as well. but stores seem limited, unless you can charge them up. so I am back to magnets again! Magnets The magnetic force appears to be concentrated at or near the ends of the magnet. These areas are called the magnetic poles. Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes The pole of a suspended magnet which points towards the north, is called the 'north seeking pole (north pole)', the other pole is called the 'south seeking pole (south pole)'. Magnetic poles always exist in pairs. It is not possible to produce just an isolated north pole or isolated south pole. If a bar magnet is broken into two, each piece will have a north and south pole. How do I make an electromagnet? It is fairly easy to build an electromagnet. All you need to do is wrap some insulated copper wire around an iron core. (this coil is called a solenoid) If you attach a battery to the wire, an electric current will begin to flow and the iron core will become magnetized. When the battery is disconnected, the iron core will lose its magnetism. Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes • • • • • A solenoid when suspended freely, aligns itself in the north-south direction, thus behaving like a bar magnet. One end of the solenoid acts like a north pole and the other end the south pole. The polarity of the solenoid can be changed by reversing the direction of the current. Increasing the turns, increases the magnetism produced Increasing current, increases the magnetism produced. Changing the material in the solenoid and the core changes the amount of magnetism as well. soft iron is usually used in the core for best results. Note: bismuth is repelled by strong magnets (north and south) its called diamagnetism and is present in most objects to varying degrees. used in levitation silver (Ag) actually has the highest electrical conductivity of any element and the highest thermal conductivity of any metal so would be better then copper if you had the cash/unable to get copper like in world war II when they used it in the electromagnets to enrich uranium. apparently silver tarnishes so is perhaps not the first choice for long term use, but it is more efficient then copper! (thermal conductivity of diamond is higher though and yet diamond in contrast is an electrical insulator as well…) How do I make a permanent magnet: The most common magnet materials are Ferrite and Alnico. Ferrite magnets are made from a mixture of iron oxide and barium, strontium, or lead oxide. Alnico magnets are made from aluminum, nickel, iron, and cobalt, and consist of tiny particles of an iron-nickel-aluminum alloy inside an ironcobalt alloy. But the strongest modern magnets are made from an iron-neodymium-boron alloy. Nd2Fe14B, The latter magnets are very resistant to demagnetization and the forces they exert on one another are amazingly strong. Ferromagnetic materials can be magnetized in the following ways: 1. Placing the item in an external magnetic field will result in the item retaining some of the magnetism on removal. 2. Placing the item in a solenoid with a direct current passing through it. When magnetizing objects, the results will be considered to be "soft" or "hard": 1. A "soft" or "impermanent" magnet is one that loses its memory of previous magnetizations. "Soft" magnetic materials are often used in electromagnets to enhance (often hundreds or thousands of times) the magnetic field of a wire that carries an electrical current and is wrapped around the magnet; the field of the "soft" magnet increases with the current. 2. A "hard" or "permanent" magnet is one that stays magnetized for a long time, such as magnets often used in refrigerator doors and magnetic jewellery. Permanent magnets occur naturally in some rocks, particularly lodestone, but are now more commonly manufactured. 1. Ferrite Magnets: Ferrites are usually non-conductive ferromagnetic ceramic compounds derived from iron oxides such Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes as hematite or magnetite as well as oxides of other metals. Ferrites are, like most other ceramics, hard and brittle. In terms of the magnetic properties, ferrites are classified often as "soft" and "hard" which refers to their low or high coactivity of their magnetism, respectively. Permanent ferrite magnets (or "hard ferrites"), which have a high permanence after magnetization, are composed of iron and barium or strontium oxides. In a magnetically saturated state they conduct magnetic flux well and have a high magnetic permeability. This enables these so-called ceramic magnets to store stronger magnetic fields than iron itself. Ferrites are produced by heating: an intimate mixture of powdered precursors are heated and pressed in a mould. 2. Alnico Magnets: Alnico alloys make strong permanent magnets, and can be magnetized to produce strong magnetic fields. Of the more commonly available magnets, only the rare-earth magnets such as neodymium and samarium-cobalt are stronger. Alnico magnets produce magnetic field strength at their poles as high as 1500 gauss. Alnico magnets are produced by casting or sintering processes. Anisotropic alnico magnets are oriented by heating above a critical temperature, and cooling in the presence of a magnetic field. 3. Neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets: NdFeB rare-earth magnets are actually the second generation of Neodymium rare-earth magnets. They are very strong in comparison to their mass, and are made from sintered neodymium, iron and small amounts of boron. These magnets have the highest energy product of any permanent magnetic material. The biggest problem with NdFeB magnets is that they are mechanically fragile and start losing strength as their temperature approaches 80C (170F). Another big issue is that their Iron content makes them susceptible to corrosion. For this reason, they are usually plated, to protect them from corrosion. The problem in plating the magnets is that plating may be chipped and may fall off, which exposes the magnets of the typical magnetic bracelet, magnetic bangle, magnetic ring and magnetic chain to the humidity of the skin. 4. Samarium-cobalt magnets: A sintered rare-earth magnetic material made of samarium and cobalt, those magnets are more expensive and not as powerful as neodymium magnets. However, samarium-cobalt magnets are higher temperature resistant and can be used for higher-temperature applications, as they do not begin losing strength until they approach 250C (482F). Those magnets are also better resisting corrosion, which makes them a choice of many people that buy magnetic bracelets or magnetic bangles, as the humidity of the skin is likely to effect them less. 5. Ceramic magnets: Magnets that are made of Alnico alloys (composite of iron oxide and barium/strontium carbonate) are strong permanent magnets, and can be magnetized to produce strong magnetic fields. Of the more commonly available magnets, only rare-earth magnets such as neodymium and samarium-cobalt are stronger. Alnico magnets produce magnetic field strengths at their poles as high as 1500 gauss (0.15 tesla). Alnico magnets are produced by casting or sintering processes. Anisotropic alnico magnets are oriented by heating above a critical temperature, and cooling in the presence of a magnetic field 6. AlNiCo magnets: A magnet made from aluminum, nickel and cobalt. Although these are brittle, they are corrosionresistant, and have an extremely high 800C (1472F) Curie point (de-magnetization). 7. Injection Molded/Bonded magnets: A magnet made by the combination of resins and magnetic powder to form a soft and flexible magnetic material. 8. Plastic magnets: A plastic magnet is a non-metallic magnet made from an organic polymer. The magnetic properties Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes arise from the fully pi-conjugated nitrogen-containing backbone combined with molecular charge transfer side groups. Plastic magnets have uses in computer hardware, for example as disc drives and in medical devices such as pacemakers and cochlear implants where the organic material is more likely to be biocompatible than its metallic counterpart source: http://www.magnetic-products-store.com/magnets.html A magnet's magnetism decreases when it is heated and increases when it is cooled this is called the curie effect (as she did experiments with pendalums in this regard) remember magnets have a north and south pole. like poles repel, metal is attracted to both poles, while diametric materials are repelled from both poles. Curie Temperature Paramagnetic materials are attracted to magnetic fields curie experimented with pendulums (magnets) heating the underside up. to see what temp it took for the field to be destroyed. when the magnet cools down, the magnet returns and is heated again. Cobalt curie temperature is 1115 °C, its magnetic moment is 1.6–1.7 Bohr magnetons per atom An electron has an intrinsic magnetic dipole moment of approximately one Bohr magneton dipole just means electrons are moving back and forth and thus the degree of “charge” i.e. positive or negative is changing slightly as the position changes.

They generate approximately 35 mA of current per cm2 with the other bit being glass Once you know what your solar cell produces, you can easily work out how many you need. i.e. how many to attach in parallel for current, and how many “strips” to solder in series for voltage. You tend to get tabs, which are soldered to each panel. two from the back of the first panel go to the front of the next panel, and so on down the line. which is time consuming work! (and why some cell cells with them already soldered on – so half the works done) this then has to be mounted in suitable container, perhaps protected with a cover to withstand weather/hail stones/and things of that nature.

The problem with sand is that it also contains oxygen in the form of silicon dioxide, which must be removed. The industrial process used to produce silicon requires temperatures of around 1800oC. You are going to need a saturated sugar solution; this will sit in the lid of your coffee jar. Now, take a large crystal of sugar, often sold as "rock sugar" and "glue" it to the end of the skewer. Next, drill a hole the same diameter as the skewer, and poke the skewer through the bottom of the coffee jar. Stand it on a windowsill and lower the crystal into the saturated sugar solution. Over some time, crystals should start to grow - pull the skewer up slowly, bit by bit, so that the growing crystal is still in contact with the sugar solution. This is just like the way that silicon is grown. The silicon is drawn up slowly from a bath of molten hot silicon (which is analogous to our saturated sugar solution). Once this large crystal of silicon has been manufactured, it must be cut into slices to manufacture the solar cells.

Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes Piezoelectricity is the ability of some materials (notably crystals and certain ceramics, including bone) to generate an electric field or electric potential The pyroelectric effect, where a material generates an electric potential in response to a temperature change, was studied by Carl Linnaeus and Franz Aepinus in the mid-18th century. Quartz and Rochelle salt exhibited the most piezoelectricity. Pierre and Marie Curie showed in 1880 that crystals of Rochelle salt could produce electricity when pressure was applied in certain crystallographic directions Environmental changes of temperature, humidity, pressure, and vibration can change the resonant frequency of a quartz crystal A crystal oscillator is an electronic circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material to create an electrical signal with a very precise frequency. This frequency is commonly used to keep track of time (as in quartz wristwatches), to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters and receivers. The most common type of piezoelectric resonator used is the quartz crystal, so oscillator circuits designed around them were called "crystal oscillators". In France in 1917, Paul Langevin and his coworkers developed an ultrasonic submarine detector. The detector consisted of a transducer, made of thin quartz crystals carefully glued between two steel plates, and a hydrophone to detect the returned echo. By emitting a high-frequency chirp from the transducer, and measuring the amount of time it takes to hear an echo from the sound waves bouncing off an object, one can calculate the distance to that object. piezoelectric igniter, which generates sparks for small engine ignition systems (and gas-grill lighters) by compressing a ceramic disc The best-known application is the electric cigarette lighter: pressing the button causes a springloaded hammer to hit a piezoelectric crystal, producing a sufficiently high voltage electric current that flows across a small spark gap, thus heating and igniting the gas. The portable sparkers used to light gas grills or stoves work the same way, and many types of gas burners now have built-in piezobased ignition systems. a 1 cm3 cube of quartz with 2 kN (500 lbf) of correctly applied force can produce a voltage of 12,500 V. Piezoelectric materials also show the opposite effect, called converse piezoelectric effect, where the application of an electrical field creates mechanical deformation in the crystal. so two material (i.e. a cerimic on metal) with a voltage applied across them can produce sound with the vibration and this is used in buzzers Triboluminescence in Quartz Crystal (striking/scrapping it with another stone fast makes it glow.

The Ute constructed special ceremonial rattles made from buffalo rawhide which they filled with clear quartz crystals collected from the mountains of Colorado and Utah. When the rattles were shaken at night during ceremonies, the friction and mechanical stress of the quartz crystals impacting together produced flashes of light visible through the translucent buffalo hide. ) The dominance of the quartz crystal [SiO2] for all kind of frequency control applications started in 1934when the AT-cut quartz crystal was introduced. The advantage with the AT-cut quartz crystal is that it has nearly zero frequency drift with temperature around room temperature. From the very beginning of using quartz crystal resonators as frequency control elements it was common to increase the frequency of the resonator by drawing pencil marks on the electrodes, or decreasing the frequency by rubbing of some electrode material with an eraser now I stuck a quartz crystal next to my ear once, after I got clairvoyant images of them to do something similar. I stuck it under my pillow when I went to bed, this was when I didn’t understand anything, and was just learning the psychic side. I got this very strong vibration in the morning and you would be advised to pay attention to other areas of study, like crystak healing, witch craft, reiki for information on materials and use! Do you even need the crystals? how much can you regulate with your own mind? watch a video of a person getting a shock of a qi wong/reiki healer and you will know more the fact proximity of other materials (i.e. crystals) on resonant frequency should also make you want to consider crystal healing, new age and witch craft sources more. if only for ideas magnet strength: larger magnets will create larger fields.

Connect the common of the Hall device (pin 2) to the common of the 7805 (pin 2). Set the voltmeter to read 20Vdc max. Attach the + of the voltmeter to the output of the Hall device (pin 3). Attach the - of the voltmeter to the common of the 7805 (pin 2) or the common of the Hall device (pin 2). You are now ready to snap a battery onto the battery clip. With no magnet near the Hall device, measure and note the output voltage reading. Call this V0. It should be about 2.50Vdc. Now, with a magnet near the Hall device, you will see the output voltage change. If it is a South pole, the voltage will increase. If it is a North pole, the voltage will decrease. Call this voltage reading V1. We will say that the sensitivity of the Hall device is 2.50mV/G as found on their data-sheet. Call this k. Therefore, the Magnetic Flux Density you are measuring from that magnet can be calculated as: B = 1000*(V0-V1)/k, in Gauss. With a disk magnet sitting on top of the Hall device, the voltmeter is measuring 1.94 volts. This means that the Gauss measurement is 1000*(2.59-1.94)/1.3 = 500 Gauss, North pole. With the disk magnet flipped over, the voltmeter is measuring 3.22 volts. This means that the Gauss measurement is 1000*(2.59-3.22)/1.3 = -485 Gauss, South pole.

(each one is a “live wire” with perhaps a ground wire on the top in the hope of catching lighting (“power for free?”) which returns electrons back to the grid. Typical voltages for long distance transmission are in the range of 155,000 to 765,000 volts in order to reduce line losses along the way. power substation receive the large transmissions, and step it down, while regulator banks regulate under voltage, over voltage conditions.

You will often find a transformer drum located on the pole .. The transformer's job is to reduce the 7,200 volts in the power line down to the 240 volts that makes up normal household electrical service. There are two wires running out of the transformer and three wires running to the house. The two from the transformer are insulated, and the third one is bare. The bare wire is the ground wire. The two insulated wires each carry 120 volts, but they are 180 degrees out of phase so the difference between them is 240 volts. .

Circuit Breaker Main line goes into a circuit breaker, which breaks it into smaller circuits. A circuit breaker is an automatically-operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and, by interrupting continuity, to immediately discontinue electrical flow. Unlike a fuse, which operates once and then has to be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset. you will usually find them in the garage or something like that. Essentially if your circuit tries to draw too much power inter alia they cut the power. Remember voltage is “pressure”, while current is the amount of electrons passing through a conductor at a given point, and resistance is the amount of stopping force. as some materials “absorb” electrons more easily then others. thus freeing space for more electrons to take its place (increasing the draw) while other materials, ignore it/slow it down/hold it back. current = volts / resistence I = v/r Conductors resist to varying degrees depending on composition and size Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is a plug socket with a breaker built in. it compares current from the input, to the output and if there is a difference shuts it of The load is what is been taken off the circuit (i.e. used up by appliances) as some electrons are lost along the way, going through components like that. .

Series: sticking them in series has a compond effect. i.e. the resistence adds up! Parallel: sticking them in parallel has this effect: (r1 * r2) / (r1 + r2) = new resistence. So two 470 ohm resisters in parallel will result in (470 * 470) / (470 + 470) = 235 ohms of power flowing through to the rest of the line. i.e. the power flows through all the paths it can.

Battery Status Monitor [http://www.reuk.co.uk/Make-a-Simple-Battery-Status-Monitor.htm] In a typical 12V system the voltage of the battery bank can fluctuate from 10.6 Volts (below this the battery is very dead) when heavily depleted and under load, to as much as 15 Volts when being heavily charged. A healthy full 12V battery bank would usually have a voltage of around 12.6 Volts when not under a load and between 13-14 Volts when being charged correctly - i.e. not too quickly. Therefore it would be interesting to have an indication of the status of the battery bank using an LED to show if it is being charged. We want our LED to light when the voltage of the 12V battery bank is 12.6 Volts or higher to indicate the batteries are being charged by our renewable energy set-up. Let's use the following components: 1 x 8.2 Volt Zener diode. 1 x 127 Ohm Resisitor. 1 x standard green LED (Specfications: maximum current 30mA, voltage drop 2.5 V). 8.2+2.5=10.7 Volts. A resistor is therefore required to prevent too much current getting to the LED and destroying it. The difference between the battery bank target voltage of 12.6 Volts, and the voltage dropped by the Zener and LED of 10.7 Volts is 1.9 Volts. These 1.9 Volts must be dropped across a suitable resisitor with a current of no more than 15mA - therefore using Ohm's Law we find that resistance = 1.9 Volts / 0.015 Amps = 127 Ohms coincidently the exact value of a manufactured resistor. Normally you would select the resistor with the nearest value above the resistance value calculated with Ohm's Law.

Although having sulphated plates ruins the performance, you can usually revive them using a high-voltage charger (20 volts or so) for short periods of time. This higher voltage blows the sulphated crystals off the plates so that it can be used again. How quickly before 12 volt battery runs dead: (depends on the draw) P (in watts) = VI so 150watts/12vdc = 12.5amps For a 60Ah battery: 60Ah/12.5amps = 4.8hours at 150watts. I would always extend that time buffer a fair bit..maybe to say 3~4 hours instead of 4.8 How long to charge it? [http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-13.htm] It takes about 5 times as long to recharge a lead-acid battery to the same level as it does to discharge. On nickel-based batteries, this ratio is 1:1, and roughly 1:2 on lithium-ion. A multi-stage charger first applies a constant current charge, raising the cell voltage to a preset voltage (Stage 1 in Figure 1). Stage 1 takes about 5 hours and the battery is charged to 70%. During the topping charge in Stage 2 that follows, the charge current is gradually reduced as the cell is being saturated. The topping charge takes another 5 hours and is essential for the well being of the battery. If omitted, the battery would eventually lose the ability to accept a full charge. Full charge is attained after the voltage has reached the threshold and the current has dropped to 3% of the rated current or has leveled off. The final Stage 3 is the float charge, which compensates for the self-discharge.

Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes Depending on the size and type of dielectric, some capacitors are better for high frequency uses, while some are better for high voltage applications. Lightning shows a capacitor at work. One plate is the cloud, and the other plate is the ground and the lightning is the charge released between these two "plates." "C" is the capacitance of the capacitor. The capacitance is calculated using the equation shown below as a function of the surface area of the electrodes (S), the distance between the electrodes (t), and the dielectric constant of the dielectric ( ). In the formula above, 0 represents the permittivity of free space (8.85 x 10-12F/m) A larger capacitance can be obtained by either increasing the dielectric constant, increasing the electrode surface area (S), or by decreasing the distance between the electrodes(t). Electrolyte capacitors generally to be connected in a specific direction (incase they explode), while the ceremic capacitors can be connected any way. but the electrolyte ones tend to hold more charge. so the polarity (direction of current) matters with them. Above a particular electric field, known as the dielectric strength Eds, the dielectric in a capacitor becomes conductive. The voltage at which this occurs is called the breakdown voltage of the device, and is given by the product of the dielectric strength and the separation between the conductors, Most electrolytic capacitors are polarized and may catastrophically fail if voltage is incorrectly applied. This is because a reverse-bias voltage above 1 to 1.5 V[1][2][3] will destroy the center layer of dielectric material via electrochemical reduction (see redox reactions). Following the loss of the dielectric material, the capacitor will short circuit, and with sufficient short circuit current, the electrolyte will rapidly heat up and either leak or cause the capacitor to burst. This is because, if the aluminium foil with a layer of aluminium oxide on it is made +ve the oxide ion will get oxidised and will convert into oxygen gas generating a high pressure and hence may burst up the capacitor.

C1 C2 C3 Combined capacitance (C) of C = C1 + C2 + C3 + ... capacitors connected in parallel: Charging a capacitor The capacitor (C) in the circuit diagram is being charged from a supply voltage (Vs) with the current passing through a resistor (R). The voltage across the capacitor (Vc) is Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes initially zero but it increases as the capacitor charges. The capacitor is fully charged when Vc = Vs. The charging current (I) is determined by the voltage across the resistor (Vs - Vc): Charging current, I = (Vs - Vc) / R (note that Vc is increasing) At first Vc = 0V so the initial current, Io = Vs / R Vc increases as soon as charge (Q) starts to build up (Vc = Q/C), this reduces the voltage across the resistor and therefore reduces the charging current. This means that the rate of charging becomes progressively slower. time constant = R × C where: time constant is in seconds (s) R = resistance in ohms ( ) C = capacitance in farads (F) For example: If R = 47k and C = 22µF, then the time constant, RC = 47k × 22µF = 1.0s. If R = 33k and C = 1µF, then the time constant, RC = 33k × 1µF = 33ms. A large time constant means the capacitor charges slowly. Note that the time constant is a property of the circuit containing the capacitance and resistance, it is not a property of a capacitor alone. After each time constant the current falls by 1/e (about 1/3). After 5 time constants (5RC) the current has fallen to less than 1% of its initial value and we can reasonably say that the capacitor is fully charged, but in fact the capacitor takes for ever to charge fully!

A standard alkaline AA battery holds about 2.8 amp-hours. That means that a AA battery can produce 2.8 amps for an hour at 1.5 volts (about 4.2 watt-hours. which means a AA battery can light a 4-watt bulb for a little more than an hour). To store one AA battery's energy in a capacitor, you would need 3,600 * 1.5 * 2.8 = 15,120 farads to hold it, because an amp-hour is 3,600 amp-seconds. capacitors tend to be larger, but they tend to have the advantage of being able to discharge quicker then a battery normally can. Uses: Battery Flash: The battery charges up the flash's capacitor over several seconds, and then the capacitor dumps the full charge into the flash tube almost instantly to get it to light. If a line carrying DC voltage has ripples or spikes in it, a big capacitor can even out the voltage by absorbing the peaks and filling in the valleys Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notess Inductors An inductor or a reactor is a passive electrical component that can store energy in a magnetic field created by the electric current passing through it. An inductor's ability to store magnetic energy is measured by its inductance, in u units nits of henries. Typically an inductor is a conducting wire shaped as a coil, the loops helping to create a strong magnetic field inside the coil due to Faraday's Law of Induction. Inductors are one of the basic electronic components used in electronics where ere current and voltage change with time, due to the ability of inductors to delay and reshape alternating currents. LC circuit If a charged capacitor is connected across an inductor, charge will start to flow through the inductor, building up a magnetic field around it, and reducing the voltage on the capacitor. Eventually all the charge on the capacitor will be gone. However, the current will continue, because inductors resist changes in current, and energy will be extracted from the magnetic field to keep ep it flowing. The current will begin to charge the capacitor with a voltage of opposite polarity to its original charge. When the magnetic field is completely dissipated the current will stop and the charge will again be stored in the capacitor (with the opposite polarity). Then the cycle will begin again, with the current flowing in the opposite direction through the inductor. Like a pendulum. The charge flows back and forth between the plates of the capacitor, through The Devils Science Notes the inductor. The energy oscillates back and forth between the capacitor and the inductor until (if not replenished by power from an external circuit) internal resistance makes the oscillations die out. AKA a tank circuit or harmonic oscillator The resonant frequency of the LC circuit is where L is the inductance in henries, and C is the capacitance in farads. The angular frequency has units of radians per second. Transformers Changes current voltage You have a core, which becomes magnatised when electricity travels through one set of coils. this in turn, is picked up in another set of coils and is passed on. So if you have a wire with 100 coils in the left, and 200 in the right you can x 2 the voltage, while 100 coils in the left, 50 in the right will reduce it by x 2 instead or would be ideally if it were not for “leakage” however it seems pretty efficient generally. So there is some resistance/loss there caused by resistance heating, Hysteresis, eddy currents as well Superconducting (cooled materials) improve it to 99.85% efficency. See Fradays law of induction for more Toroidal (circular ring) transformers are more efficient than the cheaper laminated E-I types for a similar power level Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes A tap on a transformer is an additional connection somewhere in the middle of the winding, used either in conjunction with or instead of the connections at the ends of the winding to provide different winding ratios. A center tap is a special case in which the tap is halfway between the ends of the secondary winding, such that it can be used to split the voltage output in half. or a tapped one Question What exactly is meant by "Center Tap" in relation to a transformer? i.e. 400-0-400? ----------------Your transformer has one winding with a center tap. From the center tap to either side is 400 volts. Across the entire winding is 800 volts. I don't know what your application is, but often this is done when there is a requirement for greater amperage at a given voltage. Part of the application is attached to one side and another part to the other side. Sometimes a center tap is used to power a full wave rectifier providing DC. Larry Krengel ==================================================== The center tap is simply another wire which is typically connected somewhere in the middle of the secondary coil. For example, suppose you had a transformer with 120VAC primary (2wires) and a 24VAC secondary (2 Wires at each end of the secondary coil). If you placed a center tap on the coil, using the center tap and either end you would get 12 VAC if the center tap is truly in the center. This concept is used in electronics to generate positive and negative voltages using the center tap as the ground. Bob Hartwell ==================================================== A conventional transformer has two output wires. The rated voltage is produced across those wires. It is the "RMS" or root-mean-square voltage. In the 400-0-400 example, assume the three wires are A, B and C. You would find 400V between A and B. 400V between B and C, and 800V between A and C. A transformer consists of two coils of wire that magnetically interact with each other. The "center tap" or center connection is simply a wire that Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes attaches at the halfway point on the output coil. Industrial machinery may contain transformers with many input and output taps. For example, the transformer in a power supply that I have contains input taps for 208, 220, and 240V. The user would connect to different taps, depending on the voltage coming into the building, In the example, one wire would be marked 400 Bob Erck ==================================================== Suppose you wind 1000 turns of wire for the secondary (output) coil of a transformer. If you then find the middle, at turn #500, cut through the wire's insulation and attach another wire leading to the outside world, that is a "center-tap". You can see it's in the center of the coil or transformer-winding. The word "tap" is used in the same sense a "tapping a keg", or a well, or a pipe. It means making a connection by cutting into the object at hand. It is electrically the same as having two separate secondary coils, of 500 turns each, wired in series so their AC voltages add up. Often the transformer is used with the center-tap connected to the "ground" or "common" or otherwise zero voltage point in the circuit being powered. So, when listing the voltages on each of several taps on a long coil, one of the taps will be labeled "0", and each other will be labeled with the AC voltage it has with respect to the "0" tap. In your example, if this is a power transformer (120VAC applied to the primary coil), it's likely that "400-0-400" means that this secondary coil produces 800 VAC total. Look out! If the center tap is considered "zero-volts", then each end-tap will have 400 VAC. But their polarities are opposite each other, +/-. Being 60Hz sine waves, they are 180 degrees out of phase. You cannot connect them directly together to use in parallel, that would be an 800V short circuit. A fuse will blow, or the transformer will burn out. You can, however, rectify each end tap with a single diode, both oriented for positive output, and hook those together. That works well (has less ripple than one winding and one diode), because the two windings have their positive surges at complementary times. 60 times a second they take turns driving the output positive. Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes Be real careful and study your circuit well before you mess with voltages this high. There are procedures to learn, too. For example, each of the diodes in the above example must be rated at over 1000V! Any less it will probably burn out instantly. Hope you had a fuse in the primary-coil's circuit. "400" may mean 400v peak: V(t)= 400 sin(2pi60*time), or 400vrms, which is more like 560v peak: V(t)=560 sin(2pi60*time). When the sine-wave on an end-tap goes to -560v, and the capacitor after the diodes is still charged up to +400v, the diode experiences -960v. And it could get higher if the capacitor charges higher. For reasons like this, well-designed vacuum tube supplies often use two 800v or 1000v diodes in series as one single diode.

Note: if you place a nail in the solution with the copper oxide in, it will [eventually] coat the nail as copper ions are more strongly attracted to the nail than the iron ions, so a copper coating forms on the nail. At the same time, the reactions involving the hydrogen ions from the acid and the metal/oxides produce some hydrogen gas, which bubbles up from the site of the reaction the surface of the nail or screw.

[from the web] 3kW electric on a 50 gal tank (US) = 10,236 BtuH on 400 lb water. Since 1 BtuH = 1 lb water/1 degree F/Hr then 10,236 BtuH will heat 400 lb by about 25 deg F. in one hour. If you fill the tank completely with cold water at 40 deg F and want it at 140 deg F, then it will take about 4 Hr.

(so like I care anyway) remember Heat is a form of energy. Heat energy is also called thermal energy. When heat is given to a body, its temperature increases and when heat is removed from a body, its temperature decreases and heat travels from hot to cold The basic equation for Newton's Law of Cooling is: [cut and pasted from http://www.leaningpinesoftware.com/hot_water_pipes_Newtons_cooling.shtml as I suck at maths!] T(t) = TA + (TH-TA) e-kt where T(t) = Temperature at time t TA = Ambient temperature (temp of surroundings) TH = Temperature of hot object at time 0 k = positive constant t = time This kind of cooling data can be measured and plotted and the results can be used to compute the unkown parameter k. The parameter can sometimes also be derived mathematically. Deriving the Equation: Newton's Law of Cooling can be derived from two basic physics equations and a little calculus. Deriving the relationship from scratch is useful because we can then compute the coefficient k based on the R-value of the insulation and some other parameters, and compare that to the empirically measured value of k. The first basic formula is that for heat loss through an insulating material: Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes H = A(Thot-Tcold)/R where H = Heat loss in btu/hr A = Surface area in square feet Thot = Hot water temperature in F Tcold = Air temperature in F R = R-value of the insulation in ft2hrF/btu This formula can also be stated as: H = AU(Thot-Tcold) Here U is the conductance of the insulating material. The conductance is the reciprocal of the R-value. Both equations give the same result, they just have a slightly different form. Sometimes people who work with insulation find it more convenient to use R-values, and sometimes it is more convenient to use U values (depending on whether the insulation is in series or parallel). I will use the first heat loss formula because we happen to have the R-values at hand. The second basic formula relates the heat energy added to a material to its temperature: Q = mc(T-Ti) (2) where Q = Heat in btus m = mass in pounds c = specific heat in btus/lb/F T = Temperature of the substance after the heat is added, in F Ti = Initial temperature of the substance in F Now imagine an insulated hot water tank containing a mass of hot water. Heat escapes through the insulation as described by the first equation, causing the water to cool down as described by the second equation. If we can link the two equations and apply a little calculus we can get some neat results. Here goes: H = dQ/dt = A(Thot-Tcold)/R Substitute T for Thot because that will be changing as the water cools, and substitute TA for Tcold because A stands for the ambient air temperature outside the insulation. dQ = (A(T-TA)/R) dt Restating equation (2) using differentials: dQ = mc dT We can now equate the two dQ's, but we have to be careful because one is stated as a positive and the other is really a negative, so we have to include a negative sign on one side: mc dT = -(A(T-TA)/R) dt Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes Rearranging: dT/(T-TA) = -(A/(mcR)) dt Taking the indefinite integral of both sides yields: ln(T-TA) = -(A/(mcR))t + C where C is the constant of integration. Using each side as the exponent of e: T-TA = C'e-(A/(mcR))t where C' is actually a different constant: C' = eC So T(t) = TA + C'e-(A/(mcR))t We can solve for C' by setting t=0: T(0) = TA + C' C' = T(0) - TA But T(0) is actually the initial hot water temperature, call it TH So C' = (TH - TA) Finally: T(t) = TA + (TH - TA)e-(A/(mcR))t Behold, this is Newton's Law of Cooling as stated at the top of this web page, with k=A/(mcR). We often know the values of A, m, c, and R, so can then compute k. Sample Calculation: As a simple example, if I shut off the power to our 80 gallon R-16 water heater, how much would it cool down over the course of a day? Suppose: TH = 120 F TA = 60 F A = 37.5 ft2 as computed in page on hot water tank heat loss m = 80 gal * 8.34 lb/gal = 667 lb c = 1 btu/lb/F for water R = 16 So the coefficient A/(mcR) = 37.5/(667*1*16) = 0.00351 Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes Substituting into the equation: T(t) = 60 + (120 - 60)e-0.00351 t Setting t=24 hours: T(24) = 115 F A hot water tank with a higher R-value would cool down less, and one with a lower R-value would cool down more. As I stated on the web page on hot water tank heat loss, I suspect that the brass pressure relief valve and the hot water pipe may leak as much heat as the insulation. This means that the actual rate of cooling could be significantly faster than this calculated result. end of cut and paste, we assume this will be helpful one of these days just not now! radiant heat v forced air v heat pumps v underfloor heating v anything else remember: your more interested in how long the heater is on!

This flame obtains its heat not from combustion but from the recombination of hydrogen atoms into H2. It is suitable for melting and welding many metals. Iron can be melted without contamination with carbon, oxygen or nitrogen.

Frequency ive heard reported is around 13.56 MHz. it was on the news in 2007 but everyone seemed to ignore it. to my knowledge no one has gone into how wide an area you can ignite with it. as it was just tiny test tubes they were using. burnt around 1800c they used it to power a miniature steam engine. what about central heating? and how big a fire can you get? as people are complaining about the amount of energy you get v the singnal strength. but as it would be a fuel source (it only burns while the frequency is maintained!) you could potentially get better results over a wider area. now the problem here is. chlorine. so you may have to filter the fumes out/treat them in a exhaust if you try and build something mainstream! i.e. you don’t wan that stuff going into the air willy nilly. also has anyone tried it yet with a substitute to salt? as there are alternatives in electrolosis as well. i.e. different salts/mizes/frequencies may harbor different results. if the results of resonance are to go by elsewhere. anyway there is a lot of scope for progress/new tech here! notwithstanding cars, welding and other things… most people seem to resent anyone discovering anything here! as people are lazy, want other people to bring it into the mainstream before they begin to use it, look at it properly… i.e. people fight innovation tooth and nail, because they hare anyone discovering anything new! much as they hate to admit otherwise here I don’t have the cash for an rf signal generator at all. so I couldn’t build one even if I had the parts! people were using pringle tubes (metal lining) as receivers at one point for wireless as well… when it comes to how that is done gas separation Join www.thesextree.co.uk for more politics and more science ideas… The Devils Science Notes never ever take a light bulb, melt the glue and fill it with hydrogen/black power before putting it back together again. as if you did that/turned it on. the filament would act as a fuse and that would be bad! as the entire idea of light bulbs was to remove the air so it wouldn’t explode! • hydrogen gas burns. Heat this one bugs the crap out of me! side effect of current moving around a circuit and what with theories of gas, I think its wrong. heat is a particle of some kind, and I think it repels each other. i.e. lots of it together causes gases to expand, separate like magnets. if you compress it down (the heat escapes is released) and if you expand it it allows more room for heat from other areas to go in. i.e. fridge freezer technology. and considering the energy stored in “bonds” as you consider exothermic/endothermic reactions. i.e. explosions and those which absorb heat. you have to reconsider the particle model again. as the heat absorbtion stats are all over the place! and you need to do more work here before you figure out what the f**k is going on/ that lot may be controversial to some, but is where I currently stand: see thermodynamics/other people for more! anyway: Q = heat transfer rate Q = dQ / dt measured in watts.

Many kinds of loudspeakers are damped with ferrofluid. If you own a CD or DVD player, the laser head most likely has a drop of ferrofluid in there to damp it. It's used in sensors and switches, and for testing magnetic audio, video and data media (floppy discs, etc.) Some new bridges in windy or earthquake-prone zones use a thicker version of ferrofluid to damp movement. When the wind starts the bridge swaying, large magnets in the structure come closer to each other, and since ferrofluid gets thicker (more dense) in a magnetic field, it stops the bridge motion. A ferrofluid will always tend to move to the region of highest flux. This can create some VERY interesting patterns when magnets of different shapes are used! make it dance – hook it up to a load speaker diamagnetism/levitation of small frogs: http://www.hfml.ru.nl/phystod.html how to dig a well: dig a hole till you hit the water table (perhaps use a pvc pipe!) fine mesh/holes at bottom where the water is to allow it into the pipe/then you will need to consider a pump to get it out. you might want to consider dowsing rods (best place to dig!) in large pieces of land or relax your mind (try psychic ability – and get a feel for it that way! some people are very good at judging where the water is, how deep it is! so do not underestimate the power of an open mind!) http://www.wikihow.com/Dig-a-Well http://hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Dig-A-Hand-Dug-Well cars run on water its been done in the home garage before. see Stan Meyer's Water Powered Dune Buggy for more. use your brain, you can do this stuff at home if you want to and it gets easier by the day with more knowledge on the web then ever before and remember existence can’t exist if power can’t come from somewhere. ergo it has to be possible to create energy, or their would be nothing here at all! on other points, which proves physics is wrong.

The volumetric thermal expansion coefficient is the most basic thermal expansion coefficient. All substances expand or contract when their temperature changes, and the expansion or contraction always occurs in all directions. Substances that expand at the same rate in any direction are called isotropic Unlike gases or liquids, solid materials tend to keep their shape. For Example, a steel block with a volume of 1 cubic foot might expand to 1.02 cubic feet when the temperature is raised by 50 degrees, and my heating pipes are making lots of noise. as I’ve turned the radiators on, and the snow is outside because I’m freezing my arse off here. as this system has been off for ages!

For the methane molecule, C(-H)4, 435 kJ is required to break a single C-H bond for a mole of methane, but breaking all four C-H bonds for a mole requires 1662 kJ. Thus the average bond energy is (1662/4) 416 (not 436) kJ/mol. Bond energy is a measure of the strength of a chemical bond. The larger the bond energy, the stronger the bond.
