Prison ingenuity is amazing. I've seen tons of cool home made shit like Tattoo guns, but the most impressive was homemade TV remotes.

The TV's you get in prison have clear paneling so you can't hide shit inside them. They're 13 inches and $150, they also have no speakers (Could you imagine how loud it would be with 160 nigs blaring BET and a basketball game?) It gets kind of annoying having to sit up to change the channel.

There's always a few guys in every prison that are truly gifted with electronics. They're almost always called "Radio". They'll make a wired remote for your TV for $20-$30.

This requires a homemade soldering gun. I don't know the exact specs on this but I know they use old TV power supplies to make them.

Then they open the TV up, pull out a certain circuit board and score it with a blade style shank. Then they will snap the board in half along this score.
They then solder a few key points to the end of an old headphone cable. They burn a hole in the TV case with the soldering gun and wire the headphone cord through that.

Then they make a little cardboard box with an Up and Down arrow on it. The headphone cord runs into here and actually works. Sometimes it jumps 2 channels but for the most part it works just fine.

I miss having a guy that could repair ear buds for $2. In the streets I have to buy a whole other pair.

How to light a joint in prison
Take a fairly fresh battery. Find a chomo and cut the cord from his light or other electronics. Peel a single thread of wire away from it.
Wrap the middle of the wire around a pin a few times. So basically you have a coiled up section in the middle with an inch or two on either side. Touch one side to the top of the battery, the other side to the other. The coil will heat up bright red.

You can also "pop a socket" which is putting pencil lead in an electric outlet and using the sparks to light toilet paper for flame.

Magnets are actually pretty neat. Permanent magnets are magnetic because that's just a physical property of them. Asking why some metals are magnetic is like asking why stuff has mass, the answer is just "because they do".

Electromagnets on the other hand work because of special relativity, which is fun.

>> No.1435168

>>1435135
Well a longer version of the answer as to "why are permanent magnets magnetic" is something along the lines of this:

Permanent magnets are magnetic because their magnetic domains, smaller regions of the material in which the particles' magentic fields are all in the same direction, are all aligned the same way.

But if you ask why the particles in the domains are magnetic that is literally like asking why particles have spin or electric charge. Sure we can subdivide the problem, but as far as physics has come now, the answer boils down to "magnets are magnetic because they are magnetic"

Well if you accept that the material itself is magnetic and how that works, that's the hard bit. Magnets fuck about with the electromagnetic field that is all around us. They don't so much generate a field as they bend what is already there. Imagine it kinda like how a fan blows air, the fan doesn't generate air on the one side and consume it on the other, it just fucks about with the air that's already there.

I'm pretty sure that's not yet known. And it's not really the "infinite magnetic field", more that objects with opposite magnetic polarity attract each other, in the same way objects with opposite charges attract, or objects with mass. We can quantify and describe how and why things happen, like an object with a greater mass exerts a greater gravitational force on another object than one with a lesser mass. An object with a greater magnetic strength attracts magnets of opposing polarity (or paramagnetics, but they basically turn into a magnet of opposing polarity at will), than one with a lesser magnetic strength.

We know it happens, we know how it happens and we can predict what will happen to a pretty good extent, but going all the way down is still unknown, afaik.

Magnets are magic. They aren't just any magic they are a magic spell designed to inhibit our inherent magic abilities. If you could somehow get out of the magnetic fields created by evil wizards you could use your magic to do amazing things, you would become gods. This is why they confine you on earth behind a powerful magnetic field. Seriously do you think a natural magnetic field could be planet sized, I have played with magnets of all sizes, the magnetic field is always a few inches at most. The magnetic fiend around earth is certainly a spell created by foul wizards most powerful.
