  Thank you MH,
        a magnet does not dissipate energy.

You OU Pimpin Trolls do not, can not, and never can make an assumption like this!!!!

Making such assumptions is just a display of your total Arrogance in the eyes of all here!!!

You have no idea what so ever how a Magnet works, at all, period!!!

Lets see you prove this Arrogant Assumption!!!

Science is Real!!! Men/Women, hand shaking on something they do not know anything about, does NOT make it make it REAL!!! This is a Postulate! An assumption, simply, Fools that cant be bothered to get to the bottom of this Scientific Problem.

This Postulate came about to insure other Science Laws were upheld!

The Arrogance of you blokes is awesome to see!!!

Well, take a neomag.  It takes a lot of energy to magnetize it right?  Then, over a period of time (I have heard 100-200 years) it loses its magnetic strength...so... if it is not dissipating that original energy...where is it?  Where did it go?  Or, what did that energy transform/convert into?

No, it actually takes relatively little energy to magnetize a NdBFe magnet. And several magnet manufacturers have demonstrations where they place 2 strong magnets in opposition in a transparent tube and monitor the distance apart... and no change in that distance has happened over the years of the observation.
The energy put into magnetizing a magnet goes into aligning the tiny domains of the material. Over long periods of time, in a magnetically _soft_ material, some domains may re-randomize. This is not what is commonly referred to when we talk about "magnets dissipating energy".
But then I think you already know that, Bill.

Sounds like youre implying that Magnets and Atoms are Perpetual Motion Machines!!!

I hope not! You know what this means!

Good Job John, 70+ years to learn that a Tractor of this type can do in 5 minutes what takes a single man all day - That's Progress!!!


If you decide to get a Scope, TK wont be able to help you, he busted his and blamed in on the OEM, MilleHehehehe, he simply forgot about them all together is his fits of Dementia, not many others will be able to help as they all follow OEM Spec on how to use their scopes...

So no hope unless you need one as a Book End?

Keep up the good work old mate - You know, there is a saying:

You're lying like the troll you are, Chris Sykes. And everyone here knows it.

STOP MISREPRESENTING MY WORK, stop lying, LEAVE ME OUT OF YOUR DEMENTED FANTASIES AND RIDICULOUS CLAIMS.



As far as the friend-funded Rigol DS1054z oscilloscope goes, and as anyone following my work knows, the First unit I received _definitely_ had a hardware fault from the factory and was replaced within days of my notifying Rigol and TEquipment. The Second unit I received worked fine, and I identified several SOFTWARE BUGS that were acknowledged by Rigol during the six months or so that I used it daily in my work. That scope had an early version of the Boot Loader software on it that caused the bugs. RIGOL THEMSELVES asked me if I wanted to trade out that scope for one with the _current_ Boot Loader, and I agreed to do so. They sent me the replacement completely free of charge, and sent it to me _before_ I sent the obsolete unit back, so I could test them side-by-side for several days, which I did, and which tests I reported to Rigol and on another forum where I sometimes post. So I am now using DAILY in my work the "Third" actual scope from Rigol. I've found a few bugs in the software of this scope as well, and have reported them to the appropriate places. The "average" user would never encounter most of these bugs in their daily basic scope use. For sure, EMJunkie would never see them, or even be able to tell when they hit.

It is a baldfaced and transparent lie that I "busted and blamed on the OEM" anything to do with my DS1054z. I have identified software faults in this complex and low-cost instrument, that are indeed due to oversights and poor programming on the part of the OEM. They are definitely NOT due to my "busting" anything, and my bug identification and reports are helping Rigol to improve their quality and service. The Rigol DS1054z remains the best oscilloscope value for the money (although the new Siglent scopes come close), and the few remaining bugs are not likely to be encountered by any but the most advanced scope users and can easily be worked around if they do crop up. Hopefully they will be fixed in the next firmware update and will no longer cause anyone any difficulty.

As always, I am happy to help (almost) anyone with understanding their instrumentation, with recommendations, and interpretation of what they see. The lying fool EMJunkie, however, can go spit.
