ferromagnetic particles get rearranged through shock

Title fur neu musik projekt elektronic . Danke! Ist uber tekno!

ok NOW we're getting somewhere.

so we have our uber tekno tracks recorded onto some analog tape. we have the tape machine hooked up to some serious big mother speakers that can kick that shit at like 180db. we position the tape machine precariously close to the speakers, which isn't hard because they take up half the room anyway. we have some sort of fancy lead contraption around the tape machine that keeps the tapes from being demagnetized, but lets the vibrations from the speakers right through. this vibration naturally causes some major rearrangement of the ferromagnetic particles on the tape. we have a serious big mother electron microscope trained on the tape, and we have the microscope hooked up to a projector which beams the image of the rearraging particles up on to a serious big mother screen. and we can then observe in glorious scientific detail how the ferromagnetic particles CAUSE THEMSELVES TO REARRANGE.

dude.

Electron microscopes have some big-ass magnets on them. I worked for a week at a wafer fab. They had an electon microscope just sitting in a room unused. It had screws, nails, etc. sticking all over it that were too hard to remove.

I bet one of those could suck most of the rust off of a piece of tape at 10 ft.

I think this might be an uncertainty situation. The act of observing the particles rearranging would cause them to rearrange. You ever think of that?

shit, no.

obviously i'm outta my league here.

one of you smarties figure out a way to make this happen.

I say we go all Galileo/Sherlock on this bitch and get out a magnifying glass.

what if we magnified the first magnifying glass with a series of ever-larger magnifying glasses? would shit get all exponential 'n' shit?

new rule for this thread:

only post while drunk.

seems to be going on already. let's make it official!

MoreSpaceEcho · Post by **MoreSpaceEcho** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 9:19 am

but i don't drink!

i wonder if i can get around this new ruling via some sort of grandfather clause or something.

I haven't been posting drunk. I've been trying to contribute, clarify and keep the thread moving along. Besides, I've been totally slacking off on the drinking. I've had an inch left in my bottle of Maker's for about a month. I got it down to half an inch last night. (what she said)

Any thread with the word "analog" in the title should go to at least 40 pages. IMO. Especially if the actual, honest to god content of the thread is a discussion of "which is better, analog or digital".

TROLLS RULE!

I think there is a liquid that can actually be sprayed onto magnetic tape that shows how the particles are magnetized.

Playing Jesse's advocate, perhaps dropping a tape so that it gets a hard knock is equivalent to half a cycle of magnetic field from a bulk eraser. Or should that be a quarter cycle.....

For you? Trust me, there's a clause.

I'm not sure what kind, but there's a clause all right.
