RE: CSOT: cleaning microwave guts

2008-09-12 Thread M. G. Devour
Dear Kathryn, Malcolm, and group!

Anybody tempted to do *anything* around the guts of a microwave oven  
needs to take all the cautions about high voltages and keeping yourself 
out of the circuit *VERY* *SERIOUSLY*, as we don't want to lose any of 
you.

Until you know how and why things are dangerous and how to be safe, 
it's best to stay out of line powered equipment altogether.

Back at one place I used to work, there was a fire-sprinkler flood in 
one of the labs full of racks of electronic equipment. Most stuff was 
powered off at the time and breakers protected a lot of the rest, but 
beyond the few things that were damaged, everything was soaked!

They dried it all out by putting batches of instruments through one of 
the medium sized heat treating ovens at something less than boiling 
temperature overnight. Once everything was *thoroughly* dry it powered 
up and functioned again.

I don't know if your microwave is small enough to fit into your regular 
oven, but that'd be one way to make sure it's completely dry inside 
before you try to power it up again.

I've used this trick successfully on cell phones, calculators and 
digital watches that got wet. Just take out the batteries and either 
replace them or dry them out by hand.

Lastly, you may want to read some of the materials on the alleged 
dangers of consuming microwaved foods. We use ours a lot less than we 
used to.

Be well,

Mike D.


 Malcolm,
 True, I may have been lucky but I have also been cautious. I was taught
 the method by a TV repairman who used on every TV he repaired as a
 standard practice. BTW, when I said put it in the tub I should have
 stated that I did not intend it should be a tub filled with water. I was
 thinking of a shower or pouring water over the microwave to rinse.

CSThinking about current flow: for Neville

2008-09-12 Thread M. G. Devour
Dear Neville,

You're asking great questions. Keep it up and you'll get it in time.

 One has a circuit... does the electricity run
 directional? ie; does it circulate starting at the positive passing the
 3:00 and return through the negative, or does it pass around the 9:00
 and return to the positive...or neither, and just 'flows' so to speak to
 complete a circuit meaning there is no 'particular' directional flow.

 P.S.  25 words or less would be good...!  :-)

How about 100 words each on several topics? grin

The answer depends on what the current is flowing in, so lets take a 
few different cases.

In metals and other good conductors, the medium by which current flows 
is usually moving electrons. They sort of pick themselves up and glide 
along the atomic lattice of the metal from atom to atom, while the 
nuclei of the metal atoms stay locked in place by various atomic 
forces. So it's reasonable to state that electrons are flowing from the 
negative terminal of your battery, through the wires and load, and back 
to the positive terminal.  

The actual linear velocity of the electrons within the wire is 
proportional to the current:  Zero with the switch off, and limited by 
ohm's law, ie. total circuit resistance and voltage, when on.

However, the *effect* of the voltage pushing your electrons propagates 
at close to the speed of light around your circuit, as the pressure 
caused by the applied voltage propagates through the cloud of electrons 
in the metal. Think of a tube filled end-to-end with ping-pong balls. 
Push one in one end, another falls out the other end instantly.

As it turns out the *convention* of current flow from plus to minus was 
created before they figured out what was actually carrying the current, 
and stuck, as tradition often does.

Of course, there are materials other than metals that can carry 
current, including semiconductors like they make transistors, diodes, 
and integrated circuits with, and, as in our case, water in an 
electrolysis cell.  

In semiconductors you may have electrons flowing, as in conductors, or 
you may need to consider holes or the absence of an electron in the 
crystal lattice of the material, flowing in the opposite direction. 

Yes the current is still actually carried by moving electrons around, 
but for reasons understood by the physicists, materials scientists, and 
engineers who design these things, hole current may be important. Hole 
current is generally not important to us, however. grin

Now, in water, you may actually have both electrons flowing *and* atoms 
or molecules of the solvent (water) or solutes (silver or salt, or 
whatever) flowing in different directions... 

Electrons will still flow from your battery's negative terminal, 
through the wire to the negative electrode, through the water to your 
positive electrode, then back through the wire to the battery positive 
terminal.

However, there may also be a gradual drift of atoms or molecules from 
one electrode to the other in the water, provided that they lose or 
gain electrons from being dissolved.

An example would be salt, sodium chloride, which breaks up into 
positive sodium ions (Na+) and negative chlorine ions (Cl-) when you 
dissolve it in a polar solvent like water. The sodium ions will be 
drawn toward the negative electrode and the chlorine ions will be drawn 
toward the positive electrode.

Something like sugar dissolves in water without gaining or losing an 
electron, so it will have no charge and won't be involved in any 
current flow.

The other obvious example for us would be silver: For every so many 
electrons that hit the surface of the positive electrode, a 
proportional number of silver atoms, minus an electron and thus 
carrying a positive charge, get blown out of their nice cozy crystal 
lattice and find themselves in the water, lazily drifting toward the 
negative electrode.

Now, since the mass of any atom or molecule is many times the mass of 
an electron, the linear velocity of the ions will be much less than any 
electrons whizzing by. The exact magnitudes will be proportional to 
their mass and lots of other factors on an atomic scale I don't know 
hoot about. That's why I used words like lazily drifting and gradual 
drift to describe their motion above. grin

That's also why stirring can be useful. Because the ions move 
relatively slowly, they can get lost and end up staying in the water 
rather than actually *reaching* the opposite electrode's surface, where 
they lose their net charge, and often decide to stick around in their 
nice new neighborhood. (Read: That fluffy build-up you get on the 
negative electrode after a while if you're not stirring and/or 
switching polarity every once in a while...)

Also, a silver ion might randomly pick up an electron somewhere in the 
water and lose its charge, and thus stop moving toward the negative 
electrode. It may also bump into another silver atom and start forming 
a new comfy crystal lattice

RE: CSOT: cleaning microwave guts

2008-09-12 Thread Norton, Steve
 Kathryn,
You should consider Malcolms suggestion about using bleach. It is a
great disinfectant and does dissipate leaving no residue. It generally
isn't used for electronics because it is an oxidant and can corrode
metals but if you dry the microwave in a reasonable time it should be no
problem. One approach might be to:

*   Unplug the microwave for as long a time as you can but I
wouldn't do less than three days. Longer is better. Anyone who has
worked on TVs has probably been surprised by a charge still on the high
voltage capacitor. Once burned you don't forget again and you make sure
to discharge the capacitor after that. The capacitors are high quality
and can hold a charge for a long time. I am concerned that you could
shock yourself if you try and discharge the high voltage and you don't
know what you are doing.
*   Vacuume what dust you can from the microwave. If you have a
vacumme with an all plastic hose use it. If it has a metal pipe where
you hold the hose, wear heavy rubber cleaning gloves.
*   There is a plastic duct and fan that is used to vent the
microwave and it gets pretty dirty and may have a lot of grease. Esp. if
anyone makes microwave popcorn. It is usually easy to remove and clean
seperately.
*   Fill a spray bottle filled with diluted bleach. Use plain bleach
- no thickeners or added scents. Have it set for a fine mist. Wear heavy
rubber gloves in case there is still voltage on the capacitor. It If
there is it could possibly arc up through the spray if you are not
insulated.
*   Spray the insides of the microwave several times over a 15
minute period with the bleach solution
*   n. Avoid spraying the magnetron if you can.
*   Dry the microwave by placing it in front of a space heater,
moving it occasionally to get all parts of the microwave dried. You want
warm air on the microwave but not so close as to get thing hot. I would
do this for at least 4 hours. Longer is better.
*   If you are uncomfortable with this approach don't do it. 
*   If someone else in this forum feels that parts of this approach
are not safe then don't do it.
*   Your safety is more important than saving the cost of a new
microwave.

Thanks for that Mike, I may know my stuff with mobile earthmoving equipment 
and semi trailers and whatever other work I have been involved in, but 
electricity...DUH!!  I appreciate the patience and tolerance everyone has 
shown here and will continue with my 'tutorials' while trying to keep my 
questions to a minimum.  If I keep reading and re-reading the info you all 
have provided the light bulb will eventually flicker into life.  It's simply 
that I've never had a need to know in the past so it's obviously of benefit 
if I know what is happening so I may be able to see some improvements I 
could possibly make with my own setups.


Just as a point of interest, most information I have researched suggests 
that the solution should be stirred 'as slow as possible', (without quoting 
rpm?), while brewing, but going by observations with my equipment and 
results, I'm not so sure if slow is best.  Example:  I made a magnetic 
stirrer using a 12v dc fan with a magnet attached to the fan and use a 
variable voltage wall plug ac/dc adaptor to alter rpm. The 3v setting is not 
enough to...how am I going to say this without having someone climb all over 
my back, g...get the fan spinning, but 4.5 gets it going ok, and 
relatively slow.  When I up the voltage it obviously spins slightly faster 
but it appears to give a better result.  Still experimenting with that 
though, but this is how it seems to me at the moment.  By better result I 
mean...clear, nothing, oops...'silver' doesn't 'fall out' of solution, pale 
TE, good ppm and so forth which to me are all really good signs, (ignoring 
arguments about meters, colour, ion/particle size and content etc etc).


I would like to look into, or find out how I can determine what rpm my 
stirrer is running at with each voltage setting.  This again, is another 
reason why it would be handy to know electronics as I probably could build 
something out of a timing light used to time car engines to determine my 
stirrers rpm.  But then probably not as they run on high voltage from the 
coil via distributor...oh well, no matter.  There's a few things I would 
like to do and/or try but can't because I need to know this damn electricity 
business first.


Thanks for those few words of encouragement though, and that goes for all 
concerned.  I guess we can't be an expert on everything.

Dear Neville,

You write:
  [The actual linear velocity of the electrons within the wire is
  proportional to the current:  Zero with the switch off, and limited by
  ohm's law, ie. total circuit resistance and voltage, when on.]
 
 As a simple example...the higher the current, the quicker the 'flow',
 (forgetting ohms law for the moment)... yes?

The higher the voltage or lower the resistance, then yes, the current 
will be higher, which means the electrons are moving faster in the 
wire. Any given electron will be scooting along the wire at a higher 
velocity, literally calculable in some meters per second. Amperage is 
actually a measure of the number of charge carriers (electrons in this 
case) that flow past a fixed point in a unit of time.

  [As it turns out the *convention* of current flow from plus to minus was
  created before they figured out what was actually carrying the
  current, and stuck, as tradition often does.]
 
 OK, now we come to the better bit.  Traditional thinking, (of old
 perhaps), supposes that 'something moves, or travels' in a particular
 fashion...up and down, left to right, right to left, over and under,
 plus to minus...and so it was 'supposed' this was the case with
 electricity 'moving or travelling' from positive to negative or negative
 to positive...  yes?  Sorry, I sort of can't explain that any better.g
 Electricity being an unknown entity if you like.

I think it goes all the way back to some of the earliest experimenters 
with electricity, like Volta, maybe... I think he was the first to 
build a battery using acid and dissimilar metals. I think he just 
arbitrarily picked one pole and called it positive and *postulated* 
or assumed a positive current flowing from it to the negative pole... 
Not knowing at the time that the actual carriers were electrons flowing 
in the opposite direction.

So, conventional current measures a hypothetical positive charge 
carrier moving from the positive terminal to the negative. In most 
situations, the *real* current is the flow of electrons in the opposite 
direction.

If you break a circuit and hook the positive (red) lead of your ammeter 
to the side closest to the positive supply terminal and the negative 
lead to the other, then the current that you read on the display should 
be a positive number. Reverse the meter leads and you should get a 
minus sign in front of the same number.

 [Of course, there are materials other than metals that can carry
  current, including semiconductors like they make transistors, diodes,
  and integrated circuits with, and, as in our case, water in an
  electrolysis cell.]
 
 Now, by this I assume you are referring to current 'travelling' from a
 starting point, on one end of a circuit board as an example, and
 'travelling' along the 'circuits' to the other end of the board,
 'directional' if you like...yes?

Well, on any given circuit board conductors go all over so the geometry 
is seldom that simple, but if you trace the flow along the conductors, 
through various components, from the positive supply connection to the 
negative, you'll be moving opposite to the flow of electrons, but 
*with* the conventional current.  

  [Now, in water, you may actually have both electrons flowing *and* atoms
  or molecules of the solvent (water) or solutes (silver or salt, or 
  whatever) flowing in different directions...]
 
 Now don't anyone freak out here but in my language this would 
 be...'electricity travelling' between the two electrodes, but in
 combination with silver, water molecules and any impurities which may be
 in the water which would be affected by the 'electricity', and these
 molecules etc would be 'drifting' in the water...yes?  Stay with me here
 if you can, I'll get proper terminologies down better later on.

Yep, that sounds about right... 

I think really pure distilled water won't carry much current at all, so 
there's very little electron flow in the fluid as there is in metals... 
I think what has to happen is you have to wait for the tiny fraction of 
water molecules that spontaneously dissociates into H+ and OH- ions 
under normal conditions to provide the seed so to speak, for more 
current to flow later as silver gradually gets into the water and 
provides more charge carriers.

Only charged particles will move when you put a voltage across the 
cell. Uncharged particles, like molecules of sugar, for instance, are 
not a part of current flow. Ions only!

  Electrons will still flow from your battery's negative terminal,
  through the wire to the negative electrode, through the water to your
  positive electrode, then back through the wire to the battery positive
  terminal.
 
 Yes, I know what's happening there now, but now we are talking of 
 'direction' again, from negative to positive.  This was my suggestion
 some time ago when I said I had read that 'electricity', or 'current',
 is 'pushed' so to speak, out from the negative and returned through the
 positive.  See

Subject: CSThinking about current flow: for Neville



[In metals and other good conductors, the medium by which current flows

is usually moving electrons. They sort of pick themselves up and glide
along the atomic lattice of the metal from atom to atom, while the
nuclei of the metal atoms stay locked in place by various atomic
forces. So it's reasonable to state that electrons are flowing from the
negative terminal of your battery, through the wires and load, and back
to the positive terminal. ]


OK, so in this case we do have a directional 'flow', of sorts, yep got that. 
Actually saw a schematic of that on that Marshall mesh thing so I do believe 
I know where you are going there.  (Lucky I started reading that on Chucks 
suggestion!).


[The actual linear velocity of the electrons within the wire is

proportional to the current:  Zero with the switch off, and limited by
ohm's law, ie. total circuit resistance and voltage, when on.]


As a simple example...the higher the current, the quicker the 'flow', 
(forgetting ohms law for the moment)... yes?


[However, the *effect* of the voltage pushing your electrons propagates

at close to the speed of light around your circuit, as the pressure
caused by the applied voltage propagates through the cloud of electrons
in the metal.]


Yep, I can picture that from the aforesaid Marshall diagram.  The higher the 
voltage, the higher 'pressure', the...I think I'll stop there for the 
moment.


[As it turns out the *convention* of current flow from plus to minus was

created before they figured out what was actually carrying the current,
and stuck, as tradition often does.]


OK, now we come to the better bit.  Traditional thinking, (of old perhaps), 
supposes that 'something moves, or travels' in a particular fashion...up and 
down, left to right, right to left, over and under, plus to minus...and so 
it was 'supposed' this was the case with electricity 'moving or travelling' 
from positive to negative or negative to positive...  yes?  Sorry, I sort of 
can't explain that any better.g Electricity being an unknown entity if you 
like.


[Of course, there are materials other than metals that can carry

current, including semiconductors like they make transistors, diodes,
and integrated circuits with, and, as in our case, water in an
electrolysis cell.]


Now, by this I assume you are referring to current 'travelling' from a 
starting point, on one end of a circuit board as an example, and 
'travelling' along the 'circuits' to the other end of the board, 
'directional' if you like...yes?


[In semiconductors you may have electrons flowing, as in conductors, or

you may need to consider holes or the absence of an electron in the
crystal lattice of the material, flowing in the opposite direction.]


Nup, I'll just skip this one for the time being.


Yes the current is still actually carried by moving electrons around,
but for reasons understood by the physicists, materials scientists, and
engineers who design these things, hole current may be important. Hole
current is generally not important to us, however. grin


Yeah, I am still picturing the schematic of Marshall...yes?  but I'm 
skipping the 'hole' thing!

 Kathryn,
 I am probably going to horrify some with my recommendation 
 but you can clean your microwave in your bathtub with tap 
 water. The one thing I am not sure of is the magnetron which 
 is mounted on the side or top of the microwave chamber and 
 generates the actual microwaves. It has been sometime since I 
 tore one of those apart but as I recall they are not water 
 tight. I would mask off the magnetron with plastic and tape 
 to keep out water and ammonia. 
 I have cleaned a number of TVs and other electronics with tap 
 water with no problems. Just rinse the cleaning solution off 
 Very Well and Dry Completely before use.  Water can be 
 trapped in connectors and so check they are dry inside as 
 well as outside. I find that drying in direct sunlight for a 
 couple or three days is usually enough if the days are warm.
 Before you open the microwave, let it set for 2 to 3 days 
 unplugged to discharge the capacitors. BTW, TVs also have a 
 high voltage capacitor on the versions with a picture tube.
 This is what I would do.

Dear Steve, Malcolm, Mike, Dee,

Thank you all for the input and the ideas. I am reading them and 
mulling them over.  Yes, the toxins tend to be airborn. Cleaning 
appliances can be very time consuming since there are many areas that 
are not so easy to get to. Buying new ones is certainly simpler, but 
way more spendy.  And no guarantees anywhere in sight. I really hate 
this stuff, and would rather move, but then there is the money again.  
I would not even think of cleaning them if I had money, I would just 
get some new ones, and send the old ones to appliance heaven.


Thanks,

Kathryn

CSDischarging Capacitors, Finding Power panels

2008-09-12 Thread Wayne Fugitt

Evening Dan,

At 12:39 PM 9/12/2008, you wrote:

The microwave that I have, which I am considering using for CS, has a
resistance associated with it to discharge the capacitor.  Not sure how
long it takes.  The TV will hold a charge for a long time.


  Much of the equipment I have worked on has the bleeder resistors also.


  If one is in a hurry, and has safety glasses or goggles, I just 
pick my largest and lousiest

screw driver and short the terminals together.

  Here again, one needs to calculate the size and mass of the arc 
first.  grin


  Another valuable trick I learned,  In  a large building 
when I cannot fine the place to

turn the power off,

  I just short the hot to the neutral.

  Then guess what ?

  Many, many people are helping me look for the proper electrical panel.

Re: CSOT: cleaning microwave guts

Many toxins are actually bits and pieces of dead bacteria and fungi or
their excretion products; thus the microwave may actually contribute
more toxins to some minor degree.  Also there are many parts of the oven
that aren't irradiated, but just collect dust and particulate debris
because of that durn fan blowing air and making dust-bunnies.

  Dear List,
 
  I am trying to rid my house of airborne toxins. These may have 
  accumulated in the inner working of the microwave as they did in the 
  fridge. One way to detoxify these things (according to Dr Croft, a 
  pathologist) is to spray them down liberally with ammonia solution and 
  let it dry thoroughly (days, a week or even 2).  So it seems to me 
  that this would be inherently hazardous where a MW oven is concerned 
  what with the HV storage capacitor or whatever. I can't think of any 
  good way to do it.
 
  It may well be healthier to just get a new one. Simpler for certain, 
  but where is the fun in that?  Maybe there is a cheap one at Menards 
  or something.
 
  Thanks,  Kathryn

 Dear Neville,
 
 You write:
   [The actual linear velocity of the electrons within the wire is 
   proportional to the current:  Zero with the switch off, 
 and limited 
   by ohm's law, ie. total circuit resistance and voltage, when on.]
  
  As a simple example...the higher the current, the quicker 
 the 'flow', 
  (forgetting ohms law for the moment)... yes?
 
 The higher the voltage or lower the resistance, then yes, the 
 current will be higher, which means the electrons are moving 
 faster in the wire. Any given electron will be scooting along 
 the wire at a higher velocity, literally calculable in some 
 meters per second. Amperage is actually a measure of the 
 number of charge carriers (electrons in this
 case) that flow past a fixed point in a unit of time.
 
   [As it turns out the *convention* of current flow from 
 plus to minus 
   was created before they figured out what was actually 
 carrying the 
   current, and stuck, as tradition often does.]
  
  OK, now we come to the better bit.  Traditional thinking, (of old 
  perhaps), supposes that 'something moves, or travels' in a 
 particular 
  fashion...up and down, left to right, right to left, over 
 and under, 
  plus to minus...and so it was 'supposed' this was the case with 
  electricity 'moving or travelling' from positive to negative or 
  negative to positive...  yes?  Sorry, I sort of can't 
 explain that any 
  better.g Electricity being an unknown entity if you like.
 
 I think it goes all the way back to some of the earliest 
 experimenters with electricity, like Volta, maybe... I think 
 he was the first to build a battery using acid and 
 dissimilar metals. I think he just arbitrarily picked one 
 pole and called it positive and *postulated* or assumed a 
 positive current flowing from it to the negative pole... 
 Not knowing at the time that the actual carriers were 
 electrons flowing in the opposite direction.
 
 So, conventional current measures a hypothetical positive 
 charge carrier moving from the positive terminal to the 
 negative. In most situations, the *real* current is the flow 
 of electrons in the opposite direction.
 
 If you break a circuit and hook the positive (red) lead of 
 your ammeter to the side closest to the positive supply 
 terminal and the negative lead to the other, then the current 
 that you read on the display should be a positive number. 
 Reverse the meter leads and you should get a minus sign in 
 front of the same number.
 
  [Of course, there are materials other than metals that can carry
   current, including semiconductors like they make transistors, 
   diodes, and integrated circuits with, and, as in our 
 case, water in 
   an electrolysis cell.]
  
  Now, by this I assume you are referring to current 
 'travelling' from a 
  starting point, on one end of a circuit board as an example, and 
  'travelling' along the 'circuits' to the other end of the board, 
  'directional' if you like...yes?
 
 Well, on any given circuit board conductors go all over so 
 the geometry is seldom that simple, but if you trace the flow 
 along the conductors, through various components, from the 
 positive supply connection to the negative, you'll be moving 
 opposite to the flow of electrons, but
 *with* the conventional current.  
 
   [Now, in water, you may actually have both electrons 
 flowing *and* 
   atoms or molecules of the solvent (water) or solutes (silver or 
   salt, or
   whatever) flowing in different directions...]
  
  Now don't anyone freak out here but in my language this would 
  be...'electricity travelling' between the two electrodes, but in 
  combination with silver, water molecules and any impurities 
 which may 
  be in the water which would be affected by the 'electricity', and 
  these molecules etc would be 'drifting' in the water...yes? 
  Stay with 
  me here if you can, I'll get proper terminologies down 
 better later on.
 
 Yep, that sounds about right... 
 
 I think really pure distilled water won't carry much current 
 at all, so there's very little electron flow in the fluid as 
 there is in metals... 
 I think what has to happen is you have to wait for the tiny 
 fraction of water molecules that spontaneously dissociates 
 into H+ and OH- ions under normal conditions to provide the 
 seed so to speak, for more current to flow later as silver 
 gradually gets into the water and provides more charge carriers.
 
 Only charged particles will move when you put a voltage 
 across the cell. Uncharged particles, like molecules of 
 sugar, for instance, are

well not really, though more of them will be moving in the (roughly)

is.

It's not that the electrons run faster from end to end, hence increasing
the current; it's that higher voltage crowds them in more densely: for
yet another very imperfect analogy, more get stuffed into the subway
train, but the train doesn't go any faster, and so more get out at their
destination, per unit of time (hours if you live in New York!)

RE: CSOT: cleaning microwave guts

2008-09-12 Thread Malcolm


Yes, a good point!  In fact often you can short out a capacitor several
times in a row and get a spark each time; Yikes!  High voltage
capacitors are especially likely to behave this way, because the
insulating element that separates the two plates of the cap becomes
formed by the electrical pressure - the voltage - impressed on it.  this
tends to drive it's electrons toward or away from the positive or
negative plates.  When the voltage is removed, the electrons tend to
migrate back to their former positions and induce a further charge on
them, a new equilibrium.

 [In metals and other good conductors, the medium by which current flows
  is usually moving electrons. They sort of pick themselves up and glide
  along the atomic lattice of the metal from atom to atom, while the
  nuclei of the metal atoms stay locked in place by various atomic
  forces. So
 it's reasonable to state that electrons are flowing from the
  negative terminal of your battery, through the wires and load, and back
  to the positive terminal. ]
 
 OK, so in this case we do have a directional 'flow', of sorts, yep got that.

This, I am going to look at a little more closely.  In my language again, I 
could say...electrons 'flow' one way but current flows in the opposite 
direction, or perhaps...the positive could be thought of as a 'magnet' 
maybe, pulling the electrons to the negative while the electrical 'flow' of 
current actually goes the opposite way...yes?.hang on a minute, 
stop there!...is this the 'gliding' thing someone spoke of?  current flows 
in a particular direction which causes electrons to 'slide', 'glide', 'slip' 
past and be 'forced' if you like, the opposite way..wait for 
it...due to the voltage, ie; 'pressure' being applied to those same 
'electrons'...yes?  So if one is talking about 'current', then that will go 
one way but if one is talking about 'electrons' then they will go the 
opposite way, which is why it's hard to get a definitive answer about 
'direction' unless it is specified what one is talking about...ie; current 
or flow!

[In metals and other good conductors, the medium by which current flows
 is usually moving electrons. They sort of pick themselves up and glide
 along the atomic lattice of the metal from atom to atom, while the
 nuclei of the metal atoms stay locked in place by various atomic
 forces. So
it's reasonable to state that electrons are flowing from the
 negative terminal of your battery, through the wires and load, and back
 to the positive terminal. ]

OK, so in this case we do have a directional 'flow', of sorts, yep got 
that.
Actually saw a schematic of that on that Marshall mesh thing so I do 
believe

I know where you are going there.  (Lucky I started reading that on Chucks
suggestion!).

The time value of the voltage would be:

E = V*e^-(.1rt)

where r is the value of the resisitor in ohms, and t is in seconds. V is
the initial voltage when unplugged or turned off.  e is of course the
base of the natural logarithm.

Hi Kathryn,

It’s not that bad.  There is a liberal city council and a liberal arts 
university so you get some  freaky white kids. They threaten professors that do 
research on flies and rats  or sit in redwood trees and refuse to come down. 
The 
gangs are Mexican kids who  stab each other over the numbers 13 and 14. Several 
years ago they declared  Santa Cruz a nuclear free zone and it must be 
working because we haven’t had a  single nuclear attack. There are plenty of so 
called normal people here too. We  play golf all year long in a tee shirt and 
shorts while looking at the  ocean.

Where do you live?

Re: CSOT: cleaning microwave guts

2008-09-12 Thread Malcolm
Hi, almost forgot; the clothes dryer is infamous for collecting lint,
dust, and after years of use, suddenly catching on fire.  This is not
the best way to clean it though.  Usually the front panel can be wangled
free and the truly incredible amounts of foof peeled off the motor,
pulleys and whatnot. Definitely a worthwhile airborne toxin reduction
method!

 Dear List,
 
 I am trying to rid my house of airborne toxins. These may have 
 accumulated in the inner working of the microwave as they did in the 
 fridge. One way to detoxify these things (according to Dr Croft, a 
 pathologist) is to spray them down liberally with ammonia solution and 
 let it dry thoroughly (days, a week or even 2).  So it seems to me that 
 this would be inherently hazardous where a MW oven is concerned what 
 with the HV storage capacitor or whatever. I can't think of any good 
 way to do it.
 
 It may well be healthier to just get a new one. Simpler for certain, 
 but where is the fun in that?  Maybe there is a cheap one at Menards or 
 something.
 
 Thanks,  Kathryn
