    Decline of Amateur Chemists (a.k.a citizen chemists)

    Not a saying I have an opinion On Citizen chemists, But this happened near my home. http://www.abc4.com/content/news/top%20stories/story/Chemicals-removed-from-an-Ogden-mans-home/w3cB1txRQkCD2e-RA3BZ5g.cspx?rss=20 Terrorists are not the only issue.

    Could cosmic ray quarks cause snapping sensations in the body?

    thanks sylas You are correct. Neutrino's. It was months ago.

    Could cosmic ray quarks cause snapping sensations in the body?

    So I was watching a show, months ago, and they were doing research on finding Quarks, miles below the ground there was a tank of liquid. Every so often a quark would hit an atom square on and react. I was wondering. If that reaction could take place in people, just walking around? Every once...

    Why does carbon buildup on a gas heater sensor block heat transfer?

    Updating my quest! After spending a couple weeks of intensive searching the web for info I keep finding more and more directions to go. I am seeing that it may very well be Carbon build up(or soot) in the form of nano tubes or buckyballs,one area that sounds interesting is dopeyballs in which...

    Why does carbon buildup on a gas heater sensor block heat transfer?

    Found this on my google search yesterday: The bi metallic strip will output a very small voltage in the form of a mille volt, read as ".001 volts" or "1mv." When the tube enclosed strips come in contact with a heat source a voltage is generated. The greater the heat, the more voltage will...

    Why does carbon buildup on a gas heater sensor block heat transfer?

    Thanks Russ Now I just have to paint my house with Dust and Dirt and I can keep it warm with a candle! LOL! Wife will be happy she doesn't have to clean any more. I am still going to look into this closer, if I can. I am going to find the components of the Dust and Dirt and soot. P.S...

    Why does carbon buildup on a gas heater sensor block heat transfer?

    Sorry I didn't explain myself too well, the rod was not getting the heat causing the sensor to turn off the gas even though it is directly in the flame. So it does not run the gas if there is no flame. I am exploring Sulfites now,I am looking for the thermal conductivity.

    Why does carbon buildup on a gas heater sensor block heat transfer?

    OK,so Carbon probably not. Soot, yes but too general. To me it is like saying: Wet, as in; the serface is wet. Could be any liquid. Soot could be any solid,Right-Wrong? So now, the Natural gas additives are more likely to cause the soot.

    Why does carbon buildup on a gas heater sensor block heat transfer?

    I had to fix the heater today because it was starting but not staying on. I called a friend (heating guy) to see what to do. He told me about a sensor that probably had build up on it and that was the problem. This sensor is a 1/16” diameter solid rod 4” long that is held directly in the...

    Undergrad How can gravity form a black hole if it's the weakest force?

    thankyou! So as it accumulates it becomes the strongest force.

    Undergrad How can gravity form a black hole if it's the weakest force?

    I'm confused! Gravity is the weakest force...right. How is it possible to hypothesize that a black hole scenario of gravitation being stong enough that nothing else can escape?
