Solar Heating With Black Blankets.

[CoreyWhite]

I'm using 2 layers of black blankets over the windows in one of my
rooms. I've cut off the ventilation with duckt tape, and am using
florescent light bulbs for lighting. The only real power draw I am
using in my room comes from this computer. I've turned down the heat
in the rest of the house because I'm not using it. And the black
blankets in my room absorb all of the heat from the sun and warm the
room, but at the same time trap it inside and prevent the cold air from
coming through the windows. It is really strange people. It is warmer
in this room than any other in the house, but do you think it is just
because my body heat is trapped inside the room?

Two questions:

1 - what as this got to do with alt.gothic?
2 - do your parents know you have done this. We previously established you
are about 13 years old so surely you should be supervised?

How about

3. Why don't you switch off your television set and go and do something
less boring instead?

And the heat from the sun, and the heat from the computer.

Why do you think it is strange that the room in
the house with insulated windows and the heating
turned on is warmer than the rooms with no heating
and no insulated windows?

What inverse square law?

(Poe wants everyone in every thread to know he believes parabolic
antennas radiate omnidirectionally, and that they obey some strange
inverse square law as an omnidirectional antenna would. I'm asking
the fuckin' idiot troll how he comes to that ridiculous conclusion.)

Incorrect. Every real antenna has a beamwidth, an angular
extent. A circular patch which is 1 degree wide doesn't
cover an entire sphere, but the area of a 1 degree patch
increases in proportion with the area of the whole sphere, i.e.
as r^2.

and that they obey some strange
inverse square law as an omnidirectional antenna would.

That they do. But they needn't be omnidirectional.
A sphere has area 4*pi*r^2. A patch which is one millionth
of a sphere has area 0.000004*pi*r^2. It still grows as r^2.

I'm asking
the fuckin' idiot troll how he comes to that ridiculous conclusion.)

Because the energy from real antennas covers a range
of angles, in azimuth and elevation. And such an area is
a constant fraction of a sphere.

Duh. *Black* blankets. I think he's got himself covered on this one.

Nah, Poe wants everyone in every thread to know he believes parabolic
antennas radiate omnidirectionally, he said so himself, the fucking lying troll.
