    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.

They are getting ready to blow up part of the ISS! And by "blow up", I mean "inflate". 😎 And for folks here in sandgroper country, that's 5:30PM local. Originally shared by NASA Set your alarms!

This Experiment Failed

Image
(End credits, Excel Saga) Yes, today I have a very sad tale to share in my cyanography experiments. You remember last time, I shared this: Well, I have experimented further with inkjet photo paper, and made some very unpleasant discoveries along the way. The first is the streaking - without using a non-contact application method, I am not going to avoid it. The gel surface is just too fragile. So if I want to persist with this, it will be out with the air-brush. I somehow doubt I am going to find spray-cans of cyanotype sensitiser, after all.  The second is in washing. Because there is no cellulose for the Prussian Blue to bond with, the washing inevitably destroys the image, meaning that you cannot preserve the image long-term. This also means that you end up including the un-exposed chemicals in the scan, which adds considerable grain and loss of contrast - especially in the high-tones of the inverted image.  This second issue is essentially insoluble, which is a pity, as it would h
