Summary: Got some high quality lenses. hat can I do with them? I acquired some high quality optics from a projector style TV that I took apart for it's mirror and a few other things. I got some high quality lenses though. I'm interested in astronomy and physics demonstrations because it gets...

Sounds great. I really don't like the double/triple booking schemes that the airlines do, but I understand why they do it. I really love some of the advances made by AI, but some of them are are really nerve wracking. https://aeon.co/essays/judge-jury-and-executioner-the-unaccountable-algorithm...

I always use fuses in my projects, and have such a transformer already. It seems like there should be a nice sticky about electrical safety, detailing general safety practices. It should probably be linked in the read this before posting to defuse a lot of these issues before a new thread is...

Sure, the voltage doesn't really matter to me. As long as it can hold a smaller ring. I'm just not sure what material would be best for the core. Someone else I saw used steel welding wire. I'm not sure if that's the best choice for core material that I can realistically get my hands on (Nothing...

I'm interested in making a Thompson's Coil after seeing my University's physics II (EM) professor demonstrate Faraday's Law to us using it. It seems like a fun device to demonstrate various principles of Electromagnetism to lay people (Induced Voltage by Faraday's Law, Resistive Heating...
