    I'm not a metallurgist, so I have to ask...

    Isn't that 20% difference in temperature significant to the claim he's debunking? I mean 20% is a lot. If we're talking about water, 20% is the difference between not boiling at all , and completely vaporised.

    I'm not a truth-er, but I am a through-and-through sceptic. If you're trying to debunk a claim with very specific parameters, knowingly going 20% outside of those parameters doesn't help your credibility.

    Nah the difference is not that huge. You can forge steel down through red hot at 800 C.

    If you took it down 300 degrees, he would have had to use two fingers instead of one.

    I don't know why people bother trying to debunk the conspiracy theorists.  They are not interested in the facts, they are not interested in the truth, they are only interested in making noise.  And it is like a religion to them.  No proof will ever be enough proof for them.  None.  So don't bother.

Using a Solarcan Puck at lower lattitudes

Image
 The Solarcan Puck is a great little reusable solargraphy camera. It has a relatively wide aperture (f/90), so it can create  a decent image in a single day.  The limitation is that it has (for a camera of this type) a relatively narrow field of view - about 120 degrees.  This means that if you have it mounted vertically, you are going to be able to record angles up to 60 degrees above the horizon. This is fine if you are above about 50 degrees latitude. At about 50 degrees, the sun will never be higher than about 60 degrees above the horizon. Why that value? Probably because of where Solarcan are based:  in Scotland.  What do the the rest of the world have to do then? You can restrict yourself to winter months - but that is not much fun.  The other alternative is to angle your Puck upwards. But how far?  In the worst case, on the Equator, the sun will be directly overhead at Solstice. This means that the Puck will have to be angled upwards at least 30 degrees - but this would mean tha
