    I was half expecting Esther Hunt's savage dog to come roaring out of her yard, barking and showing all its teeth! I brought a girl home for Sunday dinner when I was going to MUN, forty years ago. The old man had the girl persuaded that there weren't really two graveyards, across from each other. Instead, he said, there had only been one graveyard, and they had paved over the graves of the hard cases, to make the road. I had the devil's own time persuading her that he was joking. In the meantime, the original old graveyard used to be a dandy spot to pick strawberries!

    5:54 Isn't vacuum a worse insulator then air? I'm a pilot and I fly an airplane that can go up to 23,000 feet with a piston engine with magneto driven ignition system. We've had problems with arcing inside the magnetos at high altitude before because the less dense air is a poorer insulator. They sell pressurized magnetos to fix this problem. So I'm confused as to why a vacuum capacitor would handle a higher voltage. That seems at odds with my experience in another domain.

    • @madeinfoxtrap5539
      @madeinfoxtrap5539 Před 4 měsíci

      Look up “vacuum variable capacitor” They are used in high voltage applications Magnetic Loop Antennas use them They are normally expensive You are not flying in a vacuum While the oxygen may be thinner At higher altitudes there is still enough Oxygen for the engine to run. Magnetos behave differently than capacitors They have to produce a spark for ignition If a capacitor arcs a spark it may be catastrophic. Hope this helps and thanks for watching !

    I have a sdr to spot the airplane's in my town, and build my own antenne and it works fine, but now i want to hear the airport tower and planes, can i do that with this antenna you show?

    • @madeinfoxtrap5539
      @madeinfoxtrap5539 Před 4 měsíci

      Not sure how far away from the airport you are but for any antenna to operate at utmost efficiency it should be a multiple of the wavelength You are using. Any antenna will work to receive but a resonant antenna will be the most efficient. If you are some distance from the Airport maybe an array like a yagi or cubicle quad could afford some gain. There are also RX preamplifiers to boost incoming signals from farther away. Yagi and quad are directional and offer a little gain depending on the number of elements. Other antennas used for RX in VHF bands are the DISCONE. Others have told me that they work fine. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and share with your friends.

      @@madeinfoxtrap5539 what i like about them, no lifting at all, much easier on the back moving the snow. The only drawback is you need to make a ramp to push off the snow, once the snow gets to deep there is no where to push it, but up. In that case the shovel you use is good for launching the snow over the snow bank. The trick to clearing the end of your driveway, is to go with the direction of the snowplow, move it to the right so the plow dont bury you in again with what you just moved!
