Blue Anode Glow Observations

I haven't messed with this for a while, so I just stuck a couple of aluminum strips cut from a pie plate into a drinking glass full of saturated borax solution. The aluminum strips were hooked in series with a 65 watt light bulb plugged into 120 volts AC. The light bulb turned on at full brightn

Paper: How do you measure its resistivity?

Well, now, that subject was probably pretty confusing; I'm not writing a paper. Rather, what I'm asking is how you would go about measuring the resistivity of _paper_. After some static experiments mentioned here earlier it seemed like it might very well be low enough to measure. I figured I

A few thoughts occur to me on this. 1. I have heard many ultraenvironmentalists sending out this line of reasoning over the years, and have heard them say that they are absolutely sure we are in serious trouble, and that it is all man's fault. Many say they would be their life on it, 100% certaint

Oh, I just noticed the CRC table is located on page 14-10, not 18-10 as I noted. If you look at solar insolation factors by frequency you see it drops off to nothing at the tails. For example, from 0 to 120 nm there is only 0.00044 percent. From 120 to 140 there is only another .9 pe

According to my table (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/ems1.html) UV is only considered to be wavelengths between 10nm and 400nm, and IR is wavelengths from 750nm to 1mm (1,000,000nm) So, your table does not include x- and gamma- rays, nor the RF frequencies. --- Horace Heffner <[EMAI
