"ARC" phenomena study has scattered disruptive posts. Please consolidate posts here.

Are you now trying to say that the word "arc" as used in arc welding supposedly means "anode rectified cathode"?

You really are a tool.

Go grab a piece of 'lunimun wire and let the magic 'lectricity run back up through that there wire and give you a big 'ol ARC shock, hillbilly. Now run back to your sheep.

Dammit, I'm lost as last years easter egg

[Joe H]

yessir, it's a Zapster specialty.

Zap?

I've looked at hundreds of pictures of his work, can't recall seeing any cast aluminum boats in them. I can't recall ever seeing a cast aluminum boat, period! I think you've been ARCing on the laced reefer too. In an aluminum pipe even.

Anyone that believes in the ARC theory will also be interested in this:

DUDE! That truck kicks ***!

Aluminum wire was so dangerous because it oxidizes quickly and easily, that layer of oxidation increases the resistance in a connection which increases power/heat. P=IV means that power is proportional to current and voltage. If either go up so does power/heat. That's where fires started.

2+2 X 4 = 10, please don't tell me it equals 16, because then your are ignoring basic rules of mathematics, just like you seem to be ignoring basic rules of physics with your ARC theory.

Copper also oxidizes quick and easy. In fact if I had to say which one oxidizes more, hands down it would be copper. And once copper oxidizes it definitely causes ohms or resistance.

Once I had a ground wire turn dark, it never no matter what I did, would last after that.

I could clean it up, cut it back, wire brush it. You name it nothing stopped it from heating up at the ground clamp connection.



Aluminum is different but it is because of its ohms to conductivity ratio. It can be dangerous in an ARC, even a small one.

A friend of mine that just passed away, went to his local gas station hang out one day. And there was a large aluminum work table my father built for the station. There was a magneto on the bench.

The other guys in the shop were either having lunch or break. And my friend Bill turned the magneto and it popped to the aluminum table. Sending senior spark specialists jumping off the counter, some ten feet away. They wanted payback. They were not shy about what took place. They could not believe what came up that large aluminum table. So just keep in mind what I am saying about aluminum.

...An aluminum key chain might help, but don't hold me responsible or liable for that statement, if it does not work. Just to many variables.

I understand it all now. The aluminum that was surely going to turn me into a grease spot on the floor will save me if I hang keys on it. Thats why Ben Franklin didn't die he had a key on the kite string. Who would have known?

I missed the mercury link, were is it?

You know, I'm crazy 'bout a mercury...


Bill, your other link, at post #77, throws Einstein's relativity out the window.
You have things traveling faster than light!

Light is the effect of much faster particles then light. We see the light and say it took so many fractions of a second to see it. But the ambient radiation that caused the light is almost instantaneous even across a great stretch of space.

The astronauts had synchronized timing equipment, that they used to prove the speed of lights energy, on national TV. When one of them put their hand in front of the experimental laser aimed at earth, it immediately stopped on earth. The time was recorded and mentioned on TV. And they commented that it happened instantly.

Not a second and a half later, but immediately. It was just another of those little goodies you can use to effortlessly bring about a total recall.

10 foot sparks from a little magneto? WOW! That little magneto must generate 7.8MV to jump that far. Must be the aluminum ARC again.

By the way, did you ever retreive the aluminum butt-plug that you had slip all the way in Saturday night while watching the Village People concert?

[slamdvw]

I think this is my next project... rewind the transformer in my welder with ALUMINUM wiring... sounds like it'll up the wattage a bit. Sure beats paying to run that pesky expensive copper wire in it.

Rip out those rectumfire diodes... seeing as the ARC will make it's own anyway. HEY, maybe patent it, and sell it... I'm sure there is SOME welder company that will jump at the opportunity. Use aluminum wire in the transformer,... no diodes... I smell a marketing scheme coming up!!

[Roy Hodges]

heck, I bet the next thing we hear is that the earth IS really round, and Black Magic is REAL, not just some Narlins voodoo.

Hey ! I just thought of something bad. My truck is a FORD ,on it is a LINCOLN welder , emiting Mercury Coronas ! ( i hope Toyota don't sue me for the Coronas) - I never applied for a license for the Coronas . (maybe they won't notice ) ?

[turboblown]

Just put an aluminum antenna in the air and run an aluminum cable down to the shop. The antenna will gather gamma, X, beta, radio, alpha and every other ray & wave and beam it down to the shop where you just point the cable at the work and it will weld it for you. After all, the Pillsbury BlowBoy said that all of the welder manufacturers went about their products all wrong.

Next, he'll say that ARC created the Oompa Loompas.

Off, off topic, of sub-off topic twelve - for a minute.

This guy has a Valve museum?? I've heard it all now.

How about the "Iron Museum"? Anybody ever stopped at the "Iron Museum"?

Serious. When you're going south on I-55 (or is it 57?) Just south of the Missisipi bridge, and north of Memphis, it's on the right (west?) side. On the way down, I'm so happy to be through Arkansas that I don't want to stop. On the way north I'm so worried about Arkansas, I couldn't enjoy the visit.

As long as the keys to the Ford are on an aluminum key ring your good to go.

[slamdvw]

so the brass ARC cancelles out the aluminum ARC?

/me is confused

edit: brass from the keys, aluminum from the key ring... wow this gets deeper the more I think about it.... going back to my bottle of bud light

Good man - Practice what you preach.

Bottle not aluminum, can!

[slamdvw]

seen this elsewhere... figured THIS was the thread for it

[turboblown]

BillyBub broke the damn meter!

[littlefuzz]

How come the other thread got locked yesterday when another member was getting dogged out but this one is left to continue? Is one member more special than the other? I guess some people can take it better than others, I do give Billy Mac credit for that.

[fivonut]

In order to create resistance, aluminum must when charged polarize faster then copper, so it can repel incoming electrons and slow their flow, to create resistance, more ohms.

Aluminum or copper's resistive properties have everything to do with their atomic make up and nothing do do with it's crystalline structure.

The aluminum raises to a very high potential twice as fast as copper, then with the extra voltage present or extra electron pressure. It can still send a lightning quick message up an aluminum conductor because the voltage or electron pressure now offsets the ohms. Same amperage twice the voltage twice the wattage. When you are talking human flesh it only takes this kind of short quick pop to ruin a good heart.

Do not get me wrong, copper, silver, mercury, aluminum all have their sweet spot. However because copper and aluminum are common elements, it is important to know what each is capable of.

Only a dielectric can store electricity and therefore carry potential

That was the wrong meter.

Just to see what comes next.

Hell, I was looking foward to seeing what was next on the other thread. How about unlocking it and see how things pan out

It's not that he can take it better, he sees this as his duty to "enlighten" those of us who blunder through life so blissfully unaware of the simple truths only he knows.

He's lucky he's doing it here, on some forums he would have been given the chance to prove his theories and when that was not forthcoming he would have been banned for wasting bandwidth.

His parents should have been disciplined for wasting sperm and egg, IMO.
