Is the preheating really necessary? I rarely do. After all in bread machines they don't preheat just do it. I guess this preheating is reminiscent of wood fired ovens which HAD to be heated before any baking could be done.

Do anything possible on earth with foil BUT do not use it for cooking directly with food. It is CARCIGONEGIC.

What I would like to know how can you calculate the capacitance? Haven't got a meter.
0.5 amps at THAT voltage is lethal. You should go to micro amperes.

- JoeG17 commented on Phil B's instructable Make a carbon arc torch for your 220 volt stick welder
In my youth I used to operate one them carbon arc projectors in a local cinema. It was wonderful watching the carbon rods burn away. You had to watch thru a special sort of welding glass and a small regulated motor (in series with a variable resistance for precise tweaking) kept the carbon rods just at the right distance apart. Sometimes something happened and off they went. Then the whole audience would start screaming their heads off esp at a suspense scene!! My instructor used to remind me to check the length of the rods before starting as once the show is on nothing can be done esp if they didn't last the whole reel.I really miss those days when everything had to be done manually.
View Instructable »We used 1/4 inch carbon rods filled with a special composition to give more intense light. If I remember correctly power was about 60v at 90 amps or so which can be raised (for more light) but then they would consume quicker.

Wasted a lot of my precious time reading repeats and repeats all over again. And cannot even fast forward to see what it was all about. Annoying to say the least. Result (guessed I hadn't the nerve to continue) was to buy something. It seems the thousands of dollars from selling recon batteries weren't enough!!!!!

No body mentioned that pencils come in a whole range of black 3H 2H H HB 2B 3B etc. The H's are hard and grayish whilst the B's give a dense black as the number increases. The high B's are smooth to work with. In art quite a lot these are used for different effects.

This was the heart of 35mm cinema projectors back in the goo ol' days. I dunno whether they are still in use today.It was used to give an intermittent motion to the film thru' the continuous motion of the motor.

Somewhere I read that the door should be placed behind the chimney looking inside so as to trap heat in. In this design heat is being lost even with door closed. Or am I wrong???
