Did I say the law was right? Did I say it was wrong to marry your sister? No, I did not. Not Only did I not state that but I stated that I did not state that. This is the Second time that I stated that I did not state that. You can not compare a gay man to a black man in the 20th century because white men DID have rights that black men did not have. In this case we are COMPLELTY equal in terms of the law. No, I'm saying the law need nothing to do with desire. If law were based on desire I would be allowed to marry my sister breeding retarded children and mowing my lawn would be against the law You cought me, Im Mr. Spock. What shall I ever do now.

I didn't say it was wrong. It is however against the law. Are you stating that gays should be able to marry just as I should be able to marry my sister? Also the reasoning behind not being able to marry family members in this case is also irrelevant because the conversation started with you implying that I have a right gays don't have. Can you state a right gays currently do not have(that the straight counterpart does)?

Any updates on the current status?

Thats irrelevant. You implied that I have a right that gays don't have, a right that doesn't exist. No, my sister doesn't want to marry me, and no, I don't want to marry my sister. I was simply showing you that nobody has the 'right' to marry the person of choice. What if I wanted to marry that 16 year old down the street?

Thats not a right. What If I wanted to marry my sister?

I was suggesting nothing of the sort. I was simply stating that gay men have the same rights straight men have.

I completely understand what you're saying but your logic is failing. Thats not what anybody is saying. ANY gay man can marry a woman and adopt a child. Nobody is depriving homosexuals of rights that their straight counterparts have. Also, Just because I'm straight doesn't mean I'm special and aloud to marry a man. Like a said, the rights are exactly the same.

Nah, I think its BS. That story has not come up on any reliable sources. Just free energy crackpot sites.

Extremely hot. It would burn/melt just about anything you put in its way. When I was younger and first got a flyback working I would play with it and tell my friends to put the output on the back of his fingernail. It nearly instantly burns thought your fingernail giving you a nasty shock. A flyback is actually harmless because it runs at about 30khz-60khz, what you really feel when you touch the output is the burn. A lower frequency would not travel through your fingernail but that just shows what temperature its capable of.

Timed exposure so the arc traveled all the way to the top.

Well considering most of us spend <5/14 of our time thinking about science I don't think it's that funny.

You're seeing extremely hot air/plasma.

No, you misunderstand. A static shock is an extremly fast discharge that lasts for a fraction (a very small one) of a second. The transformer I used could easily stop your heart and resperation. Ill write some Instuctions for driving a flyback transformer later. They output 10-30kv at around 1ma which is harmless.

A Jacob's ladder is a device that basically shows off the power of high voltage supplies. It is built with two long conductors in a 'V' shape with the bottom points close but not touching. When you apply a high voltage current it will arc across at the bottom. As the air heats up and rises the resistance is lowered and the arc travels upwards. When it reaches the top the resistance at the bottom of the 'V' is now lower than at the top where the arc is because the air is no longer being heated under it. At the point the arc disappears and the process starts over again. Obviously, a higher current power supply will heat the air up more and allow the arc to be drawn out more making it longer. A higher voltage supply will allow the bottom of the 'V' to be farther apart. You can use any “high” current power supply for a Jacob's ladder. The “high” is in quotes because it is relative to the voltage. A 2v 1A power supply would not be high current but a 12kv 30ma supply would. I used a Neon Sign Transformer(NST) to make this Jacob's ladder. If anybody is interested I can post detailed instructions for making a Jacob's ladder from an old TV or computer monitor. There is no need for powering it directly from mains. And the circuit is harmless because of the low current output. This picture is from a 12kv@30ma NST. It is about 2' long and the top is about 3" apart. It is impossible to get this kind of performance from a flyback transformer in a TV though.

Erm... How old are you? If you're in a high school I would just forget about it. High school relationships are just a game and should not be taken seriously. Perhaps you should think about what you really want in a relationship.

I just noticed, my japanese characters above turn to question marks if you dont have a japanese character map installed. Bummer. I dont think it made any sense anyway.

I thought you were planning on building a tesla coil? Its not hard.

I'm guessing he meant lighting.

I don't really see why this is relevant but Tesla is the center of many conspiracies because when he died he had a bunch of papers stolen. He also had a lot of ideas that where considered ahead of his time and he was ridiculed because of this Completely your opinion. Wrong.

Yes. I like the varnish because its fast drying and is strong even with a very thin coat so you can get denser coils.
