Is a metal Conductive rate relative to its storage ability in a capacitor as an electrode?

Posted by admin on June 3rd, 2010 and filed under metal | 2 Comments »

I have made four leyden jars with 4 different types of metals as electrodes. Does that certain metal’s conductivity relate to how much the leyden jar will store and how?

In the example you state, there should not be any difference in capacitance.

What is the difference between Progressive Metal and Heavy Metal?

Posted by admin on May 31st, 2010 and filed under metal | 5 Comments »

I hate to be too much of a genre know it all, but this has been bugging me for a long time. I love all sorts of progressive metal bands, but I don’t know what differentiates them from the other genres of metal. Bands like Symphony X, Suspyre, and Pathosray are examples of progressive metal bands that I like.

Progressive metal (sometimes shortened to prog metal) is a fusion genre: a mixture of progressive rock and heavy metal. Progressive metal blends the powerful, guitar-driven sound of metal with the complex compositional structures, odd time signatures, and intricate instrumental playing of progressive rock. Some progressive metal bands are also influenced by jazz fusion and classical music. Like progressive rock songs, progressive metal songs are usually much longer than standard metal songs, and they are often thematically linked in concept albums. As a result, progressive metal is rarely heard on mainstream radio and video programs.

What metal to use for an outdoor bench frame?

Posted by admin on May 28th, 2010 and filed under metal | 2 Comments »

i to buy some metal tubing for an outdoor bench im currently making but im not sure what type of metal sqecifically i should use. any suggestions would be great, it needs to be rust proof and corrosion resistant im also on a budget and live in the UK if you have any suggestions.
ive just looked at some alluminium tubing and there seems to be to thicknesses 16 swg and 10 swg. 10 swg is thicker but would the 16 swg still be strong enough as it is cheaper.

Aluminum or galvanized steel.The steel will be stronger but heavier.And it will be cheaper than aluminum.

What metal is worth money and what are the best places to look for it?

Posted by admin on May 26th, 2010 and filed under metal | 4 Comments »

Can you weigh-in absolutely any metal because i have some spare metal with a plastic outer coating which i believe to be steel and wondered if it would be worth anything? Also what are the best places to find copper? Thanks

Where would it be likely found on a local construction site?

What you have is "dirty" metal, "clean" would get more money, but its only steel… basically worthless they pay you in TONS. You can find copper in wires and stuff, just take some off a local construction site or something, just make sure the wires aren’t live. Aluminum is worth some money too.

***UPDATE****
Look for upcoming little communities and stuff, just houses. Probably won’t be able to get in to large construction sites… Damn Security.

What genre of metal has a good beat and heavy guitar riffs similer to nu metal?

Posted by admin on May 23rd, 2010 and filed under metal | 5 Comments »

You know how korn has that good beat with heavy guitar riffs? Is there a genre of metal
similer to that. I guess you could say it’s thrash metal riffs with a slower tempo or a rap beat with heavy guitar riffs.

Nine Thou – Styles of Beyond
or anything by Five Finger Death Punch

I know, not exactly a genre. But if this doesn’t rock your boat then I cant goddamn help you.

How much metal can go undetected through an airport metal detector?

Posted by admin on May 19th, 2010 and filed under metal | 4 Comments »

People can get through those things with small amounts of metal like the buttons on their jeans. So how big does the metal object have to be for it to set the beeping thing off? The one you walk through.

Could it detect a safety pin or those clips from a tensor bandage thing?
@Kurt because I’m going on a plane tomorrow and those things are part of my normal attire. I would like to avoid any potentially awkward situations that may arise with airport security, if you must know.

It depends entirely on how sensitive the detector is, or what level they have set it to if it is adjustable. All airports will not be exactly the same.

In the past, I have seen them detect the foil wrappings around the gum in a package (when they used to do that with gum). But it does not go off for eyeglasses (metal frames), wedding rings and so on.

I would not worry about buttons – like the metal clasps on suit pants, or the metal button on a pair of jeans. The clips on ace bandages (same as tensor bandage??) are probably aluminum, so they would not likely be detected anyway.

In any case – if it goes off, and your pockets are empty already, then they will go over you with the hand held wand to find the specific place that causes the alarm, and inspect it. If it is something removable – like a safety pin, they may have you take it off, then go back through the detector.

It may add a bit more time to your experience, but it is not any kind of a problem. Those kinds of things happen often.
