Cap'n Refsmmat

I got it from a book by Gene Kranz, a flight director. Do any of you know who the original Captain Refsmmat was?

Is it just me or did you waste a lot of time on finding that?

I don't like that idea!

I take it that's a lot of methods!

Not possible. Magnets have no affect on humans except the placebo effect.

I meant, what is that thing in my signature besides a group of useless words?

And of course, sound has anti. You can also match crests and troughs, and then no sound!

How many of you know what a refsmmat is (before seeing it here or in my sig)? Post your ideas on what it is here! I'll tell you what it is after seeing you moan over it for a while. Prizes for getting it right is $500!* *$500 not included

So if you are walking outside in a place where they do that, and you happen to touch an insulated object (building of some type) then you would be electrocuted? The voltage difference means yes. I don't like that idea.

Depends on how you wire things.

IQ is only for determining how well you can take data and process it in a given amount of time. IQ determines things like problem solving. If you are like me, and know things like the max range of an AIM-54 is more than 90 miles, and that the speed of light is 186,000 mps, and orbital velocity at 200 miles up is 17,300 mph, that doesn't affect IQ.

I believe it would eat throuch the cover. Now, this depends if it is a hardcover or paperback. With paperback, take an Exacto knife and scrape the part off (VERY CAREFULLY!!!) With a hardcover, try a solvent. I have no clue what.

I like both the pen ideas. I should try the exploding pen. I like blowing stuff up.

Yes, they would come out of it, but that idea worked for early firearms! And if you want to do the touch hole, wear heavy gloves! You'd get burned by the flames. The propellant gasses would go out, but if it's a tiny hole big enough for a match, not much would leave. It keeps you from having too big of a fuel/air mix. PS: If you do the touch hole, it could be dangerous! A powerful flame would come out. You should take a dowel or something and attach the match to it, so you can stay a few feet away and behind the hole (the match doesn't need to go through the hole, it will ignite gas outside and that would lite up the rest)

little bitty hole drilled into the breech (rear end) of the gun.

And yet chlorine is required by the health dept. Surprise surprise! Submit that story to http://www.darwinawards.com, will you? Fits perfectly.

uhh... a touch hole and a match? Or, take the ignition system from a model rocket. Stick the igniter through the touch hole and put the plug on. Wire it up, get 15 feet away(it will blow out the touch hole) and press the igniter.

they're probably in different orbits. Then it wouldn't be possible.

how are they their own anti-particle?

Buy a flint/steel lantern sparker from a camping store or in the camping dept. Bore a hole through the end cap of the barrel and stick it in.

To make acetylene, buy a coumpound called "bangsite". Add water. I don't know what bangsite is, but I might find out. I'll check.

Do it like RC cars. They use many pulses to send commands, like 46 for forward, 16 for back (i'm making that up). So to pulse it and program the car to interpret them as commands. Voila!

Special programs that allow you to access any part of the drive. In fact, I believe that spy Hansen (or Walker) re-formatted a hard drive so it appeared to have less space than it actually did. The information given to the KGB was on the space that "didn't exist". It is possible to read the information that was deleted, you just have to look.

And hydroelectric. Steam wells/geysers. Heck, even heat from volcanoes! Radioactive decay. Burning of dead animals. That's all I can think of.

But if you erase the contents and save it blank, it takes less space, and so parts of the original will now be deleted. Someone with proper training can get in and read it. If you were to change it to a bunch of garbled stuff of the exact same size, your file would only have that. The original would be gone.
