MickI am not sure what you mean by "nark" in the sense of real estate.Of course the city was down on me like a dirty shirt, with living in an industrial zoned building.They, in fact took me to court, twice.The city building inspectors were sure they had me. Trouble was, I was incorporated.As the CEO of Keillor Film Industries Incorporated (sounds impressive, eh?
An artist crashing in a 3, 600 square foot space in Canada's largest city paying $300 / month)The real trouble for the building inspectors came next, in front of the judge. Representing myself, I asked the court if my incorporation papers were in order, that I presented as evidence.Iwas listed in those documents as CEO and President. ( I was prudent to wear suitable costume for the occasion, out of respect for the courts)I then introduced the question of a corporate entity being able to hire night time security staff, as needed.The staffing, and facilities of such a staff are the business of the company?In this case, the CEO and President take on a second job, as night security staff.Case dismissed!Building a boat helped me build my profession, my profession allowed me to build the boat. Keeping my living expenses very low, allowed me to do what I wanted to do.Living like a student, allowed me about $10,000/ yr to buy boat building materials. It took about a year to render that amount of material into a boat with my spare time labour.I made props and did special effects for television, feature films, commercials, trade shows, theatre, music videos, and even clown acts. I would hire out of work artist friends for bigger gigs.The whole corporate thing was kind of a running joke between us. The absurdity of creating another person, to put all the blame on, a synthetic entity, as it were, that had more rights, and freedoms, than a person, yet all the ones a person has, show the loop holes, that governments have created, just for those very expensive, smooth operating corporate lawyers, who are paid to constantly wheedle,whine, and wine to goverment ears, to make industry happy, and rich.Owning a corporation kind of gave me a peek hole into how the structures work, even though my own situation was a joke.In spite of the joke, the favourable prices from wholesalers, and free samples of exotic materials, and supplies, and tax advantages begging you to stay in businesss, in effect.You become a political point, or a way point at how good the polititians are performing, as businesses in Ontario.+ or- one businesss is a big deal, as opposed to a baby, or a puppy, born, or an old guy dying..It is the creation, and destruction of jobs, ultimately, that makes or breaks polititions.Listless unhappy people without direction tend to cause trouble.The gov doesn't want that.Cheers WarrenSent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Warren,
I thought it was some advanced Nazi design or something. Always surprising how nature prefers finesse over force. Those industrial neighborhoods are great for amazing loft space though now days someone would probably narc you out for living there with our modern cultural revolution going on. It was nice when people minded their own business instead of being "politically" active morons. Of course back then there were the occasional busybodies but not a wholesale encouragement from grade school of narcing out ones parents.
I wonder what that space runs now. Before you became a SFx guy what were you doing for cash while building the schooner?
I don't know what an armature growler test machine is. Sounds as if it is something to test the heating/overheating of armature windings.
Most degaussers are just a coil of wire wrapped around a low reluctance high coercivity pole piece. Just surprising you could leave it plugged in all day and it did not fizzle out.

It looks like a fairly ordinary plain coil much as is used for ac solenoid magnets, built with plenty of Hector's bbeloved steel laminations. Not being so wise in the other possible uses of the device, I made a compact mahogany plywood box encloseure for it, as I was taking it to sea with the ship. Then I potted it with epoxy resin to ensure it would not corrode. It was not an exotic wind. It was a fairly normal, yet sufficiently exotic device that Mr Hipp removed it from to scrap yard a few doors over, from their pile, saving it, as he got me in the habit of doing too. I was in a 3,600 square foot space, in the old victorian CocaCola factory, a sprawling five story complex of red brick with a huge water tower on the roof. When I first moved in, that space was $300/ month rent. I was on the fourth floor, but had a huge freight elevator one could bring even cars up on ( which I did) the ten foot ceilings, with giant Douglas fir beams, were perfect for me. There were weigh scales even set into the floor, cabable of measuring up to one ton, so it all suited me as a perfect place to call home, while I built my ship a few blocks away, on the harbour.
Mr Hipp had his machine shop just across the street, and house next to it. It was at that time, considered a wrough neighbourhood, in the Industrial area near the docks. On the other hand, no one complained when we were testing a blank firing attachment for a machine gun at three in the morning, for my special effects business, or testing a six foot long Buzz bomb motor for possibly using with a hang glider.( worked well, measuring 50 lbs thrust, but glowing a pale orange colour, and way too scary in a hang glider, noisy) So this AC magnet industrial latch of some kind, might be of the same sort of construction as an armature " growler" old fashioned test machine, because it too, "growls" when set on the ferrocement deck, with the cobalt steel wire inside. However, a fine, large scale degausser, capable of neutralizing a 33 ton ship with 7.5 tons of high tensile cobalt steel wire wrapped in a tripple belted triangulaire manner. Cheers Warren

Hi Warren,
Ha you have one of the big clues for magnetic gating right in front of you! Idea being the same as the MEG or VTA or many other such devices, to leverage the pole switching bifurcation point.
What is the opposite of magnetization?
Growls away with indifference perhaps.
I would have a look at that device and the coil winding. It probably has a cap and coil or maybe just a coil but the coil winding and core is most important. Most of those devices would burn up sitting on all day so it's probably a higher impedance if it is not otherwise current limited, but with a higher impedance it should have less de-magnetization potential. I would dissect that thing as much as possible to see if anything is out of the ordinary such as caduceus wound coils.

Mick Yes, I was lucky to know Bernard Hipp as a friend, neighbour, and mentor. I think he was charmed at me building away at a concrete boat, much to the brunt of jokes from naysayers. The degausser seems to be an electro ac magnet which when set on the deck growls away with attraction. It is not large, about an 8" cube that works much the same as a tape head demagnitizer. Left on deck for a few hours, it worked like a charm, eliminating the compass deviation entirely since 1981. He gave it to me, in case of reoccurance. The hydrogen sub was built and almost ready to launch when one night a flight of allied bombers dumped their undropped bombs for the flight home on top of it. From what I gathered, it made hydrogen fuel from seawater, and supplied oxygen to the crew. It was the prototype of a similar type now offered for sale by Germany, capable of extended submersion cruises. Cheers Warren

Warren,
That's far out, you were blessed to meet such an interesting character. With a name like that I was cued for a Mr Natural story.
Do you know who makes good lead acid now? The only recommendation I get is the Trojan golf cart ones. SO the steel connects the plates, is that hot or cold rolled?
What is a Nitrogen powered sub, how does that work?
How does the degausser work, this really peaks my interest! What size was it and did just placing it midships would degauss the whole vessel?

Yup! Real deep cycle batteries are at least 1/8" thick plates, some even 3/16", though most called deep cycle are just paper thin. You can cast your own from melted down car batteries on a steel plate mold, with steel bar stock edges. I haven't done it myself, but my friend Mr Hipp did. ( Mr Hipp designed the radio control V2 buzz bombs, the nitrogen powered submarine, and the 3 engined Messersmit before being brought to Canada to work on the Avro Arrow. He was layed off when Eisenhower talked our prime minister into buying Non functional Bomark missiles instead of the fastest jet in the World, at that time. Mr Hipp didn't go to the States to work on the Appolo project like most of his co-workers He then built a machine shop across the street from where I later started my special effect business. We became friends, and he, my engineering machine shop mentor. His most famous line being" when I vas a boy in Germany, there vas no crime, you could leave your bicycle anywhere.")
I never once knew him to tell a lie. He gave me a degausser able to demagnitize my entire 33 ton ship,which was made from cobalt alloy steel, when I discovered the compass wouldn't work Yes, and taught me how to make lead acid batteries, just like the German U boats. Cheers Warren

Warren,
Have you ever pulled lead acid batteries apart and compared them? Curious if there is more to the deep cycle than the larger plates and more robust connections between plates.

I found this interesting, and thought you might too. It is also interesting where it is emerging from. Cheers Warren
