Ozzy Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 For the record, he didn't even have KNO3. It was just the same brand as Mumbles, but the NPK numbers were way off, and it equated to 10% KNO3. Charming.Unfortunately Swany, indeed it *is* KNO3. There are actually two different methods of computing NPK values, one uses the percentage of K2O while the other is simply the molecular weight percentage of potassium itself. Good agricultural grade KNO3 can have numbers: 13.75 - 0 - 46Or13.75 - 0 - 38.6 Agreed.
_DB_ Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 I have a question for the American users on this forum. Have you ever taken the ACT and if so what was your highest composite score? I just took mine for the second time and plan on taking it everytime it's offered this year. I would post my score but I'd rather see what I'm up against first. I scored good enough to take any college course I want at my school though, so that's good! Too bad the courses are going to cost $400.00 a semester..... But it's so worth it.

Eh, my score was average, I got a 24. PM me what you got :-)
Swany Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Uhh, its out of 36, right? If so, one sibling scored something like a 34 or 35, and others were similar, out of 3 siblings, the lowest thus-so-far was a 32, IIRC. Perhaps I should be sparky. It was a spurious endeavor, and I have always wanted to do something like that, before chemistry even. Not as cool, now that the secrets of the life, the universe, and silly putty I have learned through chemistry.
DeAdFX Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 I got 20 something for the ACT... By the way the science section in the ACT is a joke.
justanotherpyro Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Ok, this was too funny not to post. Thank you to the anonymous person who made it. I think the artist here should win the nobel prize at least for the Jesus blood if anything.
Mumbles Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 True, the science section is a joke, I got a 36 both times. Weird, I know. I got a 28 and a 29, but taking best scores from each section I got a 34. Fuck reading and writing.
hashashan Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 hey guys, did anyone try to use copper flakes in fountains, stars, etc ..?i just got a bag full of those and i was wondering what effect can be achived with them
fredjr Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 ACT - Now for me that was a long time ago, like 25 years. Don't remember the individual sections but got 34 overall.
BigBang Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Just popping in, as I haven't been able to get anything done in a while. Funny, 3 weeks into school and we are already about to be plowed by a tropical storm/hurricane. It is good that school has been canceled for 2 days, but I hope we don't loose power. Well, I'll find out in 4 hours.
_DB_ Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Yes it is out of 36. The highest scored I've made so far is a 22. Not that great but still decent. I'm only a Jr. so I have plenty of time to improve before I graduate. Scoring a 30 or above is VERY good. High 20s are also good but a 35? That's insane! Last time the science section was just merely answering questions from looking at graphs... not too scientific.
hashashan Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 *khm* *khm* guys any chance to get any answer to my question?
Mumbles Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 It hasn't even been a day, hold on. It's a rather exotic question. I have some copper, but never tried it in a fountain. It might make a kind of green spark. It's hard to tell without trying it. I say go for it. Just fyi, I wouldn't store it. Sulfur is incompatible with copper.
hashashan Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 ill try to make one and post the results(itll take some time, i have to make some BP im all out ) also ill try to make a shell with it. to use it like titanium wool in order to make some sort of a fire circle. i wonder why nobody actually tried it before
Mephistos Minion Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 My hydraulic press is finally done! Introducing, 6 METRIC TONS OF PAIN! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v466/mephistosminion/HydralicPress.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v466/mephistosminion/HydralicPressCloser.jpg The black plate is 1" mild steel, 8" wide. The frame is 4"x2" Channel, the legs are 3/8" round bar. The springs are from my mate Sam's trampoline, I traded him a coke and a meat pie for them.
Pretty green flame Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 O wow, it looks extremely nice. Good job.
Ozzy Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 You do all the welding, grinding and fab your self?
optimus Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 The springs are from my mate Sam's trampoline, I traded him a coke and a meat pie for them.One of these? http://www.247international.com/atb/images...0pie%20425G.gif Nice swap!
Mephistos Minion Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Yep, I made the whole thing in metalwork at school, my teacher did one weld, as I had never welded with that type of welder before. I will get a closer picture of the welds (one of the better ones ) when I bring it home, the pics were taken on my phone, so they are not good enough quality. As for the pie I swapped, it was just one from the school canteen
ULTRABUF Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Just out of curiosity, what kind of welder did you use?
_DB_ Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I got a welding class at my new school this year so hopefully towards the end of the year I can build some nice goodies like that.
Pyrohawk Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Yeah I hate the ACT. I am a good student and hold honor roll grades in College Prep classes. But I suck at the ACT....the problem is the tim limit..... I had never taken anything timed in my life!! That time limit totally blew me away! I had so many undone the first time.....and second time I took it I just rushed so fast I got tons wrong. I never studied or took any prep classes or practice tests for it at all... But when it was all said and done I took it twice..... First time I got a 23, the second time I got a 24 Haahaha apparently thats where I belong. Nah I plan to take it again....maybe do a practice test for it or something to get prepared this time!! Ironicallly my science section was my lowest score and my highest was reading....closely followed by English.....
XinE895 Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Yes, but do you have barrels of Jesus' blood and the Elixer of Life? I think not. Hahaha omg thats fuckin funny....
Swany Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Hey, Xin! Where've you been? Whats up? Anyone here taken the PSAT?
