Testing the TK Tar Baby

You're lucky the shrapnel didn't get you.

Hope you washed off the PCB's...

Actually around that apparatus I always wore earmuffs and a full face shield. And on that event I am really glad it was my policy. Ruined a shirt...

One day I thought I'd try a very thin strip of aluminum foil instead of the #34 or #40 enamelled Cu wire I usually used. Ths target wire is clamped by the feed electrodes to a piece of fine art paper on a masonite platen, another sheet of paper placed over it, the top masonite platen is put on that and the whole thing is weighted with a heavy weight.

The foil exploded with such force it tore the platen apart and ripped the tempered masonite like it was a sheet of paper. I was really amazed by the difference in the strength of the explosion with the same input energy.

PW:

I think a few of us suspect that "Equipe NERD" is just Rosemary and a few cats.  And that's not slang for cool dudes or dudettes.  lol

Maybe this fellow could help.

I don't know about this other one, though. Music and preaching... .not really compatible with electronics theory, but you never can tell.

Now... watch ME get flamed, because these people chose to put their names out on the internet as authors of papers and on social media sites... whose expressed purpose is to make people contactable and establish an internet presence.

Quote of the morning:

Correctly speaking therefore we need to apply a DC cap with a rating of not less than 150 volts which can also operate at a frequency of not less than 1.4mHz.  Is there even such an animal?  I've been asking around and getting nowhere fast.

Getting nowhere fast is right.... and it's certainly not "our" fault, Ainslie.

Now.... let us once again speak of willfull ignorance, overweening arrogance, and utter incompetence on the part of Rosemary Ainslie. It seems that her posts consist of three things only: garbled ignorant attempts at discussing electronics like this, lies and misrepresentations about her tinkering and the work of others, and insults and threats to anyone who challenges her.


Guys... Batteries in parallel... you measure half the voltage. Who knew. Surely? LOL....

(mHz, MHz.... what's a factor of a billion, among friends? Chopped liver.)
