Comment on When singing death metal growls is it good for your voice to sound different afterwords? by Brian

No, it indicates damage to your vocal chords. Try hot tea with honey, lemon, and brandy. It will help them heal faster.

Comment on Why does metal react when inside the microwave and not the metal microwave? by dnvr

First of all, microwave ovens are specially designed to contain the waves of radiation inside themselves. The reason why metal objects inside an oven cause spraks and even explosions is that they act like antennas and absorb the microwaves, and the electric current generated in them produces an electric arc (connected discharge), which makes the sparks. However, the surrounding walls don't act like an antenna because they don't have the appropriate shape and they surround the microwaves without being immersed in them. Besides, whatever current it can cause is easily discharged by them into earth.

The internals of the microwave oven are exposed to microwaves but are earthed in such a way as to allow any current induced in them to be dissipated efficiently. Metallic objects within a microwave will act a antennas and when bombarded by microwave radiation, if insulated from a path whith which any induced current could be dissipated, these metallic objects become very effective heating elements. The heat generated in these elements when exposed to a flamable object is what is likely to cause a fire, or in dramatic cases an explosion.

Comment on Im getting a metal halide light for my acquarium but i dont know what kind of bulb to choose. help me? by copperhead

The difference between these is the color they’ll make the water appear – they produce different wavelenghts of light, which is expressed by different colors. But rather than choosing what looks good to you, you need to choose based on the needs of the corals you’re keeping.

The biggest difference is whether you’re using the metal halide on its own, or in combination with other lighting (particularly actinics, which produce a very deep blue color, like you’re looking underwater at night). If you are using actinics, I’d get the 14K, which is the closest to natural midday lighting in the tropics under about 30 feet of water. If you aren’t using the actinics, I’d get the 20K, as this would simulate the effect of 14K plus actinics.

If you do have the actinics, your coral will benefit by having all your lights on a timer, so you can simulate dawn (1-2 hours of actinic only), midday (actinic + halides), and dusk (1-2 hours of actinic only). It’s a more gradual increase and decrease of light so your fish aren’t spooked, and if you add a few hours of moonlight, you might get natural coral reproduction (release of gametes rather than just dividing).

Comment on Can you paint metal using rust paint in colder weather? by aeme

yes it will dry (cure) properly, the product in which you are applying it to should be clean dry and oil free. The cure time is increased at lower temperatures.

I work at a body shop, and during the colder months we have to switch to a faster drying thinner. When it’s really cold (below 40) we use an industrial heater in the booth to warm it up prior to painting.
Cold will cause the paint to take longer to dry, sometimes as long as a couple of days.

should be around 50 degrees. It may not set up well or dry very good. but someone will take the fall for it if it’s still wet 2 weeks later, long as it’s not you. CYA.
