Custom neckplate

[DangerousR6]

Or three gold and one chrome, since the neckplate is gold.

The neck plate is nickel, just crappy lighting makes it look gold...

Most room lighting is incandescent, which always puts a yellow cast on things. The light is closer to the infrared end of the spectrum. You brain filters for it so you don't notice, but the camera doesn't know any better. Put in some of those compact flourescents, especially the "Reveal" series from GE, and your colors will straighten out some while saving you money on electricity. Once you get used to them you'll also start to notice when you walk into a room with incandescent light. It'll have a yellowish-orange cast to it.

Oh but I do notice the yellowish hues with incandescent bulbs, and I do use the compact fluorescent bulbs, but the lower wattage's produce the same effect. Only the higher wattage bulbs 75w and above give off the whiter light. As a mater of fact the room from which that pic was taken has 3 60w fluorescent bulbs in it, I've tried different settings on my camera, but haven't found the right combo yet. Really the only place in my house I've found the lighting to be sufficient, is in my kitchen that has the old school half mile long fluorescent bulbs.... :dontknow:

I like hi kelvin temperature CFL bulbs for photos. 5000K and up are great.

Well then, how about i just fly up and take some pictures 3 inches from the sun.... :doh:

50,000 kelvins..but since absolute zero can't be achieved, a kelvin doesn't exist.... :dontknow:

 

[AutoBat]

Mmm... yeah...

 

[DangerousR6]

Hey, I didn't make up the laws of physics.....I always thawt zero was zero.... :dontknow:

 

[chubs]

Would this work? or is it too detailed?

I could work with that..

Sure a Kelvin exists.  Absolute zero is defined as the point at which all motion stops (something along those lines) but a Kelvin is defined as a fraction of the triple point of water, and denotes a difference in temperature, therefore energy.  One Celcius is one Kelvin.  Oddly enough, a lightning strike, or the tiles on the exterior of the Space Shuttles would get hotter than the surface of the sun.  The other question is, if you could get something to absolute zero, would you want to?  Would matter collapse?  I am sure someone much brainier than I has worked on this, but I just wanted to ask questions on a lazy Friday at work.

Google Bose Einstein condensate.

Google Bose Einstein condensate.

Until fairly recently I wouldn't have believed that was even a sentence.  Now it's fascinating!

It would also make for a highly secure password.

Ya, what he said.... :icon_scratch:

Enter the "Dragon"...For my buddy Ken... :icon_thumright:

Oh, and did I mention, it's Titanium...ya, I'm just sayin'.. :laughing7:

 

[TroubledTreble]

Wow Doug! That's fantastic! It's exactly what I had in my head. Can't wait to top off the project with that!

Wooot!!  :hello2:

 

[Cagey]

Wow. You got a plate in your head? I bashed my skull so hard I'm permanently disabled, and I didn't get a plate.

Thanks Ken, and again my picture taking skills suck. I apologize...

Wouldn't have made a difference if you had, Cagey - as you're fond of pointing out, unless it encloses the entire circuit, the holes let all the noise out.  Or something like that.

:toothy12:

Maybe a little less caffeine would help to steady the camera.  :laughing7:

It looks so nice and I have a "thing" for industrial metals. My wedding ring is tungsten carbide.

In case anyone is curious, the plate says " viridis draconis ".
