Real quick question...used my dremel to hack open one of the old plugwires I pulled off...a Belden 7mm.... Just curious..the conductive element is...thread? I don't see any metal in it at all, just thread-like stuff encased in silicone. Is this good or bad? I'm sure it's good for RFI..but..can it conduct worth a crap?

 

Amazing, isnt' it?
Yep IT LOOKS JUST LIKE A FIBER WIRE.
Realize that
This "thread" carries like 50,000 VOLTS!




You used a Dremel?!?!?!!?LOLOLOLOL


Hell, I can pull apart a plug wire BLINDFOLDED & USING MY OWN TWO HANDS OR BY GIVING IT TO MY 24 Month old kid!
Havin' fun!

 

Wow, those Beldens must be some tough wire! A dremel? LOL. Yes to the thread. It is impregnated with carbon. And yes, good for RFI, bad for spark. Very high resistance. This makes sprial wound wires popular.

RBob.

 

KED...I'm sick alright? Lol, that's the only reason I'm home right now... It's 11:40 am, I was supposed to be at work until 2 pm but I got let off early. And I pulled the wire out of both boot ends but didn't even try to physically rip it in half. Plus this is the first time I've used the Dremel, wanted to make sure it works. And yeah, that is pretty amazing..50,000 volts from what looks like freakin frayed thread......... Huh....

Old days...
Would be copper wire core plug wires.
What's the matter, snowing in Florida, too?!?!?!!? Let off work early! SLAVE DRIVERS!

Imagine somthing thinner than sheet metal being stronger...
answer
Kelvar panels!
Technology is getting pretty wild....
See the latest cancer "cure" Treatments?
Microwaves to "destroy-blow up" an isolated cancer cell, instead of surgey to remove the "skin, bad cancer cells".

Fillup with your Hydrogen Fuel Cell lately?

 

Ha ha..it's not the cold weather that's getting me sick. It's the retarded, unpredictable Florida weather. It was 40-50 degrees last week..now it's in the 80's. Hot, cold, hot cold...THAT's what gets me sick. And yeah, technology's crazy.. Imagine that...running a hydrogen car. Must be much easier to tell when you're running rich..it's like a spicket out of the tailpipes since the byproduct is water...lol... I suppose the emissions police would find a way to regulate that too... Blowing up cancer cells with microwaves? Cool...so basically it's a radiation therapy... Wonder how focused they can get it in there. Anything's gotta be better than chemo, or hacking things off!
