The technology might not exist yet for me to do what I had in mind, but I know plastic absolutely can't work for me, it's all or nothing, but it is also a long term goal. At any rate I have no further questions for this thread until one of the two companies gets back to me, everything is just...
Thank you Bobby, they do look more promising. I'll be sure to include a good bit more detail next time I have a question.
Wiring my apartment was just an example, I've been tinkering with and learning about electronics of all kinds the whole while, but since I never took courses to learn...
True enough, though sooner or later someone will figure it out, and I'd just like to have a functional basic design I can easily modify when that happens, if their product doesn't live up to expectations. If it functions anything like the way I always pictured it should then I already have...
I'm aware, I wired my own apartment 10 years ago and everything still works today without issue, but I am still primarily a designer/artist type, so there are a few gaps in my knowledge base when it comes to the theory of how a new idea could function versus why it would or would not...
I have a rather unusual goal, so the means to that goal are expectedly unusual. I have a design with a steel alloy ungrounded object that could be coated with a substance that is electroluminescent, but I wanted to be sure that simply electrifying the object would be enough to create either an...
Ah, so the lines would still need to be attached at opposite ends of a cylinder in order for the current to reach both ends relatively evenly, or would it matter so long as nothing was grounding the object?
Ah, true, I wasn't thinking about it in terms of positive and negative attracting/colliding to close the shortest distance. So if I wanted a current to run from one tip of the object to another I'd need to run a positive insulated wire to one end and a negative insulated wire to the other...
So an insulated electrical wire coiled around metal can create an electromagnet, but what happens if the same wire isn't insulated, and simply makes direct contact with the metal object it is coiled around, does the magnetic field shift then as well? Would there be any other side effects...
