I philosophically reject your reality of questioning the philosophical realty of someone else's terrorist bomb, and substitute my Shih Tzu's hallucinogenic realty; which is itself brought about by the cyclic atrophea of the 3rd ring of Saturn during every 2nd full moon. Given that a...

Depends on the recent carnage you're referring to really, but in general it's my cooking that makes me cry. Is everybody still breathing okay after the cow in post #3097 farted?

Thank you for your responses, but I think I need to clarify a little bit. This being a hypothetical question out of curiosity, so costs, protests, the eventuality of bad launches and such aside, what would the effect/s on the Sun be; and by extension what would be the effect/s on Earth; if any...

Hello All, Just from the stand-point of the Sun itself and it's environment, is it possible or not to utilize the Sun to safely dispose of spent radioactive waste fuel from reactors and what would be the possible ramafications (positive or negative) for the Earth and it's environment as a...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ALL! I've done searches and haven't seen ANY these except MSC Direct. I guess it's time to find a better search engine and / or learn better search techniques :-P. Now all that's left is to convince my wife to let me expand my "Garage Tinkering" hobby budget by...

You know, that's not a bad idea. I do have an old 13" color monitor boat-anchor in storage that works though it's badly outdated. How long do you think it would take before being trashed by a 2T - 5T range permanent magnet? Any guesses anyone?

Does anyone know of any good sources for mechanical parts that already on the market? In my "Garage Tinkering" hobby, as much as possible, I like to use parts and materials that are already available on the market instead of having to manufacture them.

Um, at 2 o'clock on Saturday morning when the neighbor's kids; who have been up partying all night with their friends because the folks are out of town; have decided to use your pool without your permission? 1 rod at either end should do the trick. :-) Hmm...electrified rods. Would that too...

OmCheeto, Thanks for the link. Though I have a gaussmeter, that viewer card looks handy.

Thank you all very much for your feedback. Since I posted my question I've also continued researching for an answer on my own and have learned that my citing a motor's magnetic field as an example in my question, was completely in error. What I'm actually needing to find out instead, is wether...

I know RF signals can be blocked using a copper screen, for instance lining the walls of a room in order to block out cell phone signals. What I'd like to find out is if it's possible to similarly block a magnetic field, something generated by an electric motor for example. Any feedback would...

Try doing a search for freeware conversion calculators. They're relatively easy to find. I have an older version ('97) of one called "Conversion Buddy" which I downloaded ages ago that still suites me very nicely and has more parameters than I'll ever use. You can still find it if you do a...
