  1. Re:What about Carbon Aerogel? on Bellagio Fountains Recreated with Mentos and Coke · · Score: 1

    Should work, but you would have to get the aero gel to sink in the pepsi, according to the explanation on the're site it work so well because the gas wells up from the bottom.

  2. Re:nope. on Apple Sics Lawyers on SomethingAwful · · Score: 1

    But there is nothing wrong with putting more on as long as you apply sufficient pressure to squeeze the extra out. And that is what Apple's picture shows. A thin film in the thermal interface area and big globs around the interface area.

    no, no, no.

    If you apply thermal interface matrial in this manner it will cause heat to be transfered to your PCB in addidtion to your heatsink.

    Some of the other posts linked describe burt and bubbled PCB around there new super expensive core duo.

    I dont mean to sound like an ass but ive seen many an air force asset destroyed premaurely due to that attitude twards thermal paste.

    The idea about the island mostly came about when i thought about the republic of texas fracus. But your right, where you are physicaly would be meaningless with in a technocracy as long as your within touch, sort of a meta-nation. It's cool to think about.

  12. Zee LOA iz a zing ov vonder on 'Xtreme' Equipment That You Have Borrowed? · · Score: 1

    Hi Andy,
    The LOA is a strange beast of an antenna indeed, imagine a large white oval facing down ward at about a 45 degree angle. The down ward face of the antenna covered with many small white circles each seem to be a small LVA's them selves to allow the radar to sweep without having to move the antenna to sweep except during a bank( watching something that big rotate suddenly 70 degrees usually scares the visitors to our shop.)

    Its realy more of an array than a large solid antenna, I'm not sure if that's what casuses the the large near field gain we get out of or not, as for the wattage my handy dandy power meter on sample port of the input wave guild shows 800 watts from the transmitter, however I'm not sure of the actual gain form the antenna, there bench checked on automated equipment and very rarely fail due to output power concerns so I don't usually see the values for the output. Now I'm all curious and I'll have to find out next time I get one in the shop to mess with.

  13. Re:RF Home cooking on 'Xtreme' Equipment That You Have Borrowed? · · Score: 1

    No not realy, an anochoic(anochoic means echoless) chamber is basicly a big metal box that the antena is mounted to and the inside covered with RF absorbant material. You can crank that puppy up almost as high as she can go with out screaming "ARG GOD NO MY EYE'S. MY NUTS" wright be for you split open like a hot dog...

  14. RF Home cooking on 'Xtreme' Equipment That You Have Borrowed? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Using the 700lbs LOA(low observable antena) use for ground following radar on the B1-B to cook hot dogs while it was hooked up to an anochoic chamber.

    Moral of the story,800+ watts = burnt hot dog in under 1 sec.
