    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    Never heard of those but an Internet search shows them to be fairly new Li-ion battery out of China. Mark

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    Well, enough youth to use them ;) Yep! I've been reloading sense around 1985, and for YEARS I did all my older brothers Ron reloading, he does his own now. A couple of weeks ago I ordered a New Glock 27 which puts be back into reloading that caliber, I already had the dies, powder, and primers...

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    Well, my Alkaline battery recycling project isn't going so well so far! Four days after I recharged the Energizer USA's they leaked! The Exide's didn't retain enough charge to continue testing them! The Duracell's may make it??? So, I'm going to adjust things a bit, I'm going to set the total...

    Coins Sinking

    Just wait a few years and the coins will be at the bottom of the hill ;) Also another little test I've concluded is in 1976 I had four property stakes driven into the ground to mark my property, they were these 4 foot long pieces of like 3/4" dia. galvanized piped driven into the ground to...

    Coins Sinking

    Well, there must not be any worms in the front area of my house. :rofl: Of course there are things that COULD cause more settling of the ground beneath the coins, Worm's LoL! ground hogs, Perrier dogs, ground molds, termite tunnels, earth quakes, sink holes, ground faults, bulldozers, earth...

    Coins Sinking

    This very topic has been more than "Dicussed" TRUST me! its been part of several HEATED DEBATES!! (yes!I've been in them) It'll go from ocean beach sand, to the swamps of the Everglades, to the Frozen Tundra!!! to prove their theories! In what most of us call actual soil they don't sink beyond...

    Coins Sinking

    They do not sink in any real average soil! Case in point, here is my front porch/deck! I just rebuilt it about two months ago, I first built it around 1984 the step down deck isn't under roof and the old weathered decking boards had pretty large cracks between them and it got WET underneath...

    Coins Sinking

    In non plowed areas, like parks and other mowed areas the depth of items like coins will be greater (deeper) according to the amount of top soil! the more top soil, (top soil growth) the deeper the targets. The wooded area around our city park has coins in around the same time span, there is...

    Photos: Which is better-Large or Small

    For photo's I like to size to a width of 800-pix its a good size for the post, but for my MUCH larger aa battery test spreadsheet it just fits and works better as a thumbnail. So, yea, very large stuff I like the thumbnail view better.

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    Well a little update on how resurrecting the dead is going (depleted batteries) The Energizer industrial's FAILED, in less than two days of their recycling the voltage had dropped back to 1.2v The exide's were first off and they're holding nicely @ 1.48v I'm about ready to put them back through...

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    Long ago there were rumors that Alkaline batteries could be recharged outside the Renu-It charger. The concept was pretty simple, take a No Brain (non smart charger) and hook it to a 24-hr lamp timer and set the timer in a way as to interrupt the charging cycle before the battery has enough time...

    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    Seems there is a missing post where someone ask about what the current load was of my battery test? Anyway I don't see it now, But here is the picture of the meter displaying the current reading of a single aa battery and one of the 4.7ohm resistors. Which is 188.3ma.

    I've Finished Up All My aa Battery Test, and the Results Are In!, 'The Good' 'The Bad' and 'The Average'

    In Monte's detector run time test I don't think he tested that, but I did and the 4.7ohm resistor as the load tested with a new Fresh battery @180-188ma I started out with an 8.8ohm resistor but with that as the load the test was an unreasonable length of time of 19+ hrs, and I felt that a 10-hr...

    Carl-NC: Do VLF signals vary in depth according to target size and mass ?

    Same answer applies with a different metal, ANY metal Its a bit like all those math questions that only give you XX divided by XXX = xx.x A small 7/16" washer will be lost at less depth than a 71 model Dodge Dart hood. A more real example would be an old rusty square shank nail that's a big...

    Carl-NC: Do VLF signals vary in depth according to target size and mass ?

    A smashed aluminium pop can @ 5" inches will read as a penny/dime @ 1-inch. And those OLD screw on Ford hub-caps off the large spoke wheels @ 12-inches will read as a quarter @ 6-inches.

    To add to Monte's post is a way to think about a battery, any BATTERY! They are a container, they store energy! Just like a 16.9 bottle of drinking water! I can down a single bottle of water in under two minutes, my wife nurses one for several hours, but they both have the same measured amount...
