Testing the TK Tar Baby

[TinselKoala]

TK,

I think it is highly unlikely Rose will provide the answer to that question.

And it would seem strange for it to be a CSR if she is sourcing one. So most likely it is a load resistor, although I can't imagine why they sent it.

I think it's unlikely as well.

However, she is "sourcing" a shunt just like she "sourced" the capacitor you  recommended. You gave her a link that would have resulted in the specified acceptable and inexpensive part arriving at her mailbox within a few days. She chose to waste days and Rand on a part that isn't going to be suitable for the purpose (the 800 microF cap) and she's now choosing to delay perhaps another four weeks to "source" the resistor she says she's found.... and what are the chances that it will be suitable for the purpose?

You may recall that, over a year ago, in the locked thread, she was told exactly how to make an extremely low inductance CVR from readily available components economically, by I think cheeseburger. And of course Fuzzy has also specified a readily available resistor of suitably low inductance, long ago. She is doing this as a delaying tactic plain and simple. If she were at all sincere she would have had one of these things long ago.

Also, I find it inconceivable that a professional laboratory of battery chemists and EE types would not have used their own noninductive CVR when testing Ainslie's circuit and compared its results with those given by her concrete wirewound power resistors. You would have done this (in fact you did in the sim I think) , I would have done this, PW would have done this... etc.

And in an effort to get Ainslie to understand... because you _know_ that they would have gone back and forth about it in communications.. it makes perfect sense for them to send along a six dollar part, just to call her bluff and get her finally to shut up.

I know I would.

Hey TK,

If I were to say to you, "You're old and likely going to die soon." Would you take that as a threat?

I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't... unless they were a little paranoid.

Well, I am old and likely to die soon, aren't I?  How can anyone argue with that?

Is it sort of like killing two birds with one stone, one of which is TK? That's pretty silly, because I'm not a bird, after all, I just use one for a body double in my feature films.

TK,
    I was just offering what I saw as the worst-case scenario in terms of the interpretation of that quote, which is not even close to what I would consider "threatening."
I mean, I guess I just assume this is what Rosemary is talking about in this recent post (the image refers).

She is a hoot, ain't she, that Ains-lie.....




(BTW... do you really believe that SA has no nuclear weapons any more? )

Well, it says so on the internet... so it must be true.
