AI Thread Summary
To heat glass to temperatures of 200-600°C without combustion, resistance heating is a viable method, similar to air heaters. However, achieving the higher end of this temperature range, particularly 600°C, may require alternative techniques. Sunlight can be utilized for heating, but its effectiveness is limited to daytime use. The discussion emphasizes the need for appropriate heating methods based on the desired temperature. Overall, resistance heating is the most straightforward approach for this temperature range.

Hey guys. What's a way that I could heat up glass to a temperature of about 200-600C without using combustion?

You could put a resistance and heat it, much like how an air heater works. Also, that temperature range is pretty big, if you really want 600C you would have to resort to other means.
 

Thread '2:1 Pulley Question'

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...

Thread 'Why do all my clocks run slow?'

Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
