    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

This prevents arcing when you insert the plug into the socket.

There's nothing like a good arcing combined with a decent gas leak.... :wink: :lol:

Reminds me of the guy that jumped out of an airplane:
He couldn't get his parachute to open up. He tried and tried, pulled every cable he could find, but nothing worked.
On his way down, he notices a guy flying upwards 8O
As they pass eachother, he asks: "Hey, do you know anything about parachutes?"
The other one answers: "No, but I know a lot about gas stoves!" 8O
 
:twisted: I am trying real hard not to reply again to this thread......! :twisted:

Sorry Hap. I was hoping you could confirm what I was told by that guy.

Here's what I was told.

The holes let the flux lines form around the tip of the prong in concentric circles. This prevents arcing when you insert the plug into the socket.

Yeah...120V arcing...flux lines... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :lol: :wink:

Did he say anything about corona suppression? :roll:

Good to see you posting again Terry!!! :D

Hap

Hap

No, nothing about corona suppression - but we may have been drinking a few at the time. :wink:

Terry
 
I don't buy this theory. First off, if flux lines are formed around the holes, then there is already current flow and the arcing problem that this is supposed to suppress has already expired.

Second, I think he's full of B.S.

I'm with you on that one!

Hap
 
I am sure I have the right answer!!! It has to do with speed.

If you take all that electricity from the wide expanse of the blade, and put in a hole, you effectively squeeze it into tiny little parts along the edges, and you create a venturi effect. That speeds up the flow, thereby making the electricity flow faster on one side than the other.

I learned all this at a Harley shop when I saw exactly this set-up in their exhaust pipes! :wink:
 
I am REALLY having a hard time now!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
 
All that's fine and dandy, but what about in-rush current, core saturation, and eddy currents? Not to mention the 7th ring of hell, harmonic phase distortion :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Can't believe this thread got moved to this forum. I guess Frank was as amused by it as some of the rest of us.

this tip was given to me by my physics teacher and he definitley knows what he's talking about.

Wow...just...Wow.

I think you should talk to the university/college and have them review their hiring practices. Obviously the guy is a nutbar not knowledgeable enough in the practical application of electricity and electromagnetism to warrant his sure to be outrageous paycheck.

Maybe you should see if you can get your tuition back while you're at it.

I don't want to sound spiteful or mean, I just don't think the guy knows what the hell he is talking about.

If the method he recommended worked for you, great, I just know I am sure as hell not going to short a battery with jumpers, I prefer my skin to not be acid etched, thank you very much.

This is one of the most informative threads I have read in a long time of electromagnetic theory. :-\\\


All i wanna know is why nobody showed me where the keg is :(

this guy jacked it....:eek:

All while stealing excaliber....just becuase he could not get his stator cover off...

...won't someone please get this scrat a happy meal?!?
