A work mate of mine found a chick that had its nest destroyed by building works... he has looked after it and now it is looking quite amazing!

I was up in the Wardroom at Watson Bay Navel Base the other night. Damn good view of the city lights! Took a few pics but not real impressed with them. I was using a shiraz filter.

What a beautiful bird... Your mate must be an animal nut too huh... Good on him for doing that... Spose it's one way to get a patient model huh...

I used to work in a high-rise building in Melbourne where the perigrine (spelling?) falcons used to hang out, feeding on pidgeons I suppose when one day the pair of them landed on the window sill beside my desk...

Watched them for a few minutes before they flew off, wow that was a buzz to see them so close...

Cheers,

Pfft.

I see your Tesla, and raise you 13.1 more.

A 14.1 Tesla magnet.

Absolutely gorgeous shot by the way! The 50/1.4 again I presume? Awesome stuff!

As my dad would say, "Oh a Tesla! I had one of those, but the wheels fell off"!

Hah!
Here is the H-1NF Heliac...

Magnets energised by 14,000 Amps at 1100 volts (that quite a few MW people

)

Two great examples of 'contrivances'

What are they used for. Any practical purpose or just for demonstrating principles.

G'day,
A mate at work and I at work were just wondering...

If you cross the black&gold tape, will the magnetic field suck the fillings out of your teeth? ;-)

The NMR spectrometer I showed is very useful. It can be used to determine that the only carbon-containing compound in Eclipse fluid is methanol.

I think it does other, possibly more mundane things too!

It good to have a current topic running, for a while I was thinking that MattK had a shocking experience when he first met his wife

Posted: **Thu Dec 16, 2004 9:57 pm**

and there I was thinking how terrible it would be if the Govt sells off all of Tesla...but now Im not sure about anything.
