i read some where that if you coil up your copper wire tightly it makes more wieght for when you wiegh it in and the tighter you wrap it the better i just wondered how true this is and does anyone do it?:)

Anyone want to go Snipe hunting?

not sure what this means maybe a english amercian transalte needed :-)Quote:

A snipe hunt, a form of wild-goose chase that is also known as a fool's errand, is a type of practical joke that involves experienced people making fun of credulous newcomers by giving them an impossible or imaginary task. The origin of the term is a practical joke where inexperienced campers are told about a bird or animal called the snipe as well as a usually preposterous method of catching it, such as running around the woods carrying a bag or making strange noises such as banging rocks together. Incidentally, the snipe (a family of shorebirds) is difficult to catch for experienced hunters, so much so that the word "sniper" is derived from it to refer to anyone skilled enough to shoot one.[1]
The snipe hunt may be assigned to a target as either part of a process of hazing, in which the object is to initiate the snipe hunter into the group, or as part of a process of ostracism intended to encourage (or force) a person, perceived to be an unwanted interloper, to withdraw from the group's presence.
just thought when it was all fluffy then there would be more air and less wieght? like the bits on top would not wiegh as if it was a compressed wireQuote:

ok confused now why would it work with ali and not copper surley if its all fluffy it has less wieght just to be clear i am talking about stripped copper insulated wire!!!!Quote:

ouch!! i fell for it nooooo!! it was april 1st yesterday you know !!!! i still think if it was fluffy with air it would wiegh less but i dont know why i think this!!!!
In order to weigh less, there would have to be negative pressure (the air pushing UP).Quote:

if nothin else, it'll sure Sound better when you throw it on the scales ; )
OY! Seriously? x amount of copper has a certain amount of mass. You could stretch it all out in a one mile string and stand it on end and the mass of the earth would have the same gravitational pull as if it were wadded up in a tight ball. A scale is a tool that measures the gravitational pull between the earth and another object's mass.
No difference.
no it does not, i just do it to conserve space it goes better in buckets
Congrats on the international hazing.:cool:. Its good to have you on the forum, Mike.
My head hurts.
Try this on:Quote:

lol, i run bagmakers at fritolay, we have to run weight checks at regular intervals, i was trying to fix a young ladies weigher years ago that had just failed a check, she came up to me and said she would just add more air to the bag SMFH i want to thank MDG for giving me that i use it all the time now :)
Which is it, can't be both,,,lolQuote:

Well there you have it! Clear scientific and irrefutable proof. :)Quote:

You must have some heavy air you compressed out of it,,,lolQuote:

And where did that air go so that it's not pushing on the scales?Quote:

You guys are all wrong.He has muffler bearings mixed in with his wire.It happens all the time!
He could have found the answer easier if he had changed the batteries in his chemlight.....
I think it's a bad case of lumbpucks....when excess gas is expressed from the rearend of the fume bags so hard that it causes ones socks to fall down around the ankles...very common amoung the English and men over 70. It's called poofpuck in women causing excess gathering of nylon around the ankles......Same thing with wire the more you twist and squeeze the more air comes out therefore losing weight. Make sure it's not humid out it can loose water weight too.....God I love this place!!!
