** Hi to all,
" Does your chewing gum loose its flavour on the bed post overnight "
was THE burning question on everyone's mind back in the 1959 - courtesy
of one Lonnie Donegan. Yep - I am old just enough the remember hearing it
on AM radio.
But my question IS can YOU see any red glow from a typical soldering
iron - in the dark of course. You will need to try this out, in a dark
room, at night - after allowing a few minutes for your eyes to adjust to
the very low light level.
Would just like to know what temperature is needed to create a barely
visible, dull red glow.
So far, I reckon it is a bit less than 370 C.
Any takers?
...... Phil
