Copper Grease

never if ever use loctite, maybe on the odd cam or crankbolt

 

Love it well done Fin so just for confirmation we want you to take a 240V mains lead bare all 3 conductors dump it in your copper grease plug her in and switch it on :Snaphappy: you know it's safe yeah but I bet there's a niggling little doubt telling you not to :Woot:

 

Fkin fkin fkin multimeter :Hilarious:

 

dont know if its the same but just dipped the three phase in to a new tub. fine no fuses blew didnt shove my finger in it tho. am no daft.

 

Brilliant yeah that just about confirms it then :Hilarious:

 

deffo. i think. :Shifty::smileys:

 

I am sitting in a hospital waiting room, grinning from ear to ear on reading this :smileys:

 

C'mon Fin that's a challenge for ya, you're only up to 400V so far

 

Many years ago I worked with Giga Ohm resistors....the air was more conductive that the gap of the resistor.
Used in super high gain instruments.
Even a perfect vacuum allows electricity to pass with enough pressure (voltage).
But not sound....Star Trek!

 

That's 415Vac to you......we ain't Europeans yet!

 

You can try and put as many amps as you like, but that will be limited by V over IR.
Try increasing the voltage.....amps will follow.

 

So, mr nit-pick Paul - you are saying that if one were to talking about 'increasing the amperage' then this would also be a void statement?

 

For all intents and purposes Copper loaded grease does NOT conduct at 12Vdc at any measurable or useful rate.
When using uprated 12V leads attach them directly and torque up to try an even out any high points. Only then apply grease to the outside of the joint for resistance to corrosion or aesthetics.
The best conductive joints are those that are flooded with molten metal (soldering or welding), however these aren't very service friendly.

 

Using electrical terminology you cannot strictly directly (as inferred) control the amps flowing. This is controlled by the pressure applied (voltage) against the resistance being offered. The amount of flow (work done) is a function of that.

 

Even OUT any highpoints Paul, even OUT

 

fuck! wont try that again.

 

. I've got some clever glasses similar, you can see in the dark with them.

 

Sorry @Chris my typing is improving, but I'm still far from recovered from putting all my hand bones out and under my wrist last summer. I must try harder and not rely on spell check to pick these things up.

 

That's okay Paul, just relieved to learn that, like me, you are not perfect.

 

Whaddya mean your not perfect Chris :Wideyed: don't burst the bubble :Sorry:
