Well, when you have to start picking on things that don't really apply to the discussion I figure you have lost.
everything I have picked on does apply to the discussion.
What does the length of the tube have to do with your misguided claim that the CO2 from the bottle is prewarmed?
Bill , Im actually surprised at you , being a global warming enthusiast
and not knowing why the length of the tube would have
an effect on the temperature of the CO2 inside it.
if the tube were only 1 inch long and it had 2 heat lamps
shinning on the tube , it could still possibly slightly
heat the slowly released CO2 that is released from the bottle.
but 10 ft or so at that distance confines the CO2 , and the
tube definitely would heat up and heat the CO2.
the experiment itself is about confined CO2 being heated
by heat lamps , only the heat that can enter the tube is
much greater than the heat that can enter the canisters
because glass reflects IR and only visible light passes through
the glass canisters.
The bottle has too much thermal mass to warm up from the heat lamps in the time that the demonstration takes place.
at 1:10 into the video , Bill Nye says within minutes you will
see the , bla , bla , bla
I take it that the demonstration took minutes.
Try it, place a heat source adjacent to a mass of about 5 lbs (2 kg) and see how long it takes the temperature of the far side of the mass to warm up 1 degree.
why would I need to wait till the far side warms 1 degree
the heat that I am concerned with in the experiment would
be the heat that rises inside the bottle to the neck of the bottle , not any heat that might be felt on the far side
of the bottle or the bottom of the bottle if that was going
to be your next attempt.
I suppose you understand that the bottle itself will be
radiating its surface heat to the glass canister filled
with CO2 , the canister then radiates its heat to the CO2
in the canister and to the small globe inside the canister.
this causes the globe closest to the black CO2 bottle
(which just happens to be the one that supposedly shows the
hazards of CO2 or global warming)
to receive more heat because it also gets heat from the black bodied bottle of CO2.
In fact you are making statements that don't really make any sense in order to bolster your claims.
I think you have that backwards , Bill.
you seem to be the one who makes statements that don't apply
or don't make any sense in order to bolster your claim
that I am wrong.
So there it is, you lose again when your claims are compared to reality.
I cant see it Bill , your grasping at straws trying to
finally find me to be wrong about something , and it seems
that you are going to a great extent to accomplish your dream.
but hold on to your dream , Bill
keep it up and remember as long as theres still some
glint of hope to accomplish your dream the struggle getting
there can be lessened by knowing that a broken
clock is always right 2 times each and every day.
