Lol, nice catch with the ESD horn. I was suspicious too when I was working that I might just be measuring the end launcher. I guess its stealth material huh?
I need to get some of those sanding pens. Tried to 3d print one but it kinda sucks. Don't wanna buy those little belts either but its not practical to finish these things nicely without those tools IMO, so I am not screwing around with Popsicle sticks. The problem with the 3d printed sanding pens is that they rely on a strip of material that is wedged under a threaded piece, so you need to thread over sand paper, and also mess with threads to expose fresh sand paper, which gets clogged fast by 3d print material. It looks like the ones that run on a small belt can have fresh sand paper rotated into place and fixed with some kind of tension mechanism. So the DIY ones (in addition to being quite weak) are only good for very small corrections.
BTW lookin at these horns standing around, with the end launcher on, I wonder if the pharos of egypt were thinking something about energy in the earth (maybe they saw lightning hit the ground) and that the pyramid was something like a horn antenna in reverse, that channeled the energy to the top. Because you are starting to look like giza and I would have a problem if my printer was a little bigger.
maybe there was like a little hunting tree stand on top of the great pyramid back in the day for him to sit ontop of
Because those guys were like the only other people then RF engineers to give a shit about forming perfect pyramid structures. The amount of work that went into leveling the foundation on those pyramids and dragging those blocks. I read some where they had very strict dimensional tolerances for those pyramids, and they used to be covered in some kind of substance to smooth em out. Clay I think. SO they were just as interested in surface finish as we are.
And aint some people say that they were covered in gold leaf or something, that got stolen over the years? Well given the extravagance by those leaders, would not surprise me if that thing got covered in gold. Doubt my wealth? Look at my golden pyramid. (not the worst way to store value either, other then attacting burglars, its easy to melt it back down when there are problems extracting taxes. Maybe solid dielectric filled horn for harnessing telluric currents disguised as a grave. Real reason for success of the egyptian empire : ground radio communications, powered by clay jar batteries or something. Or something to do with lightning. Lay it with gold leaf, when lightning hits, you can gold plate nearby objects via plasma discharge. I wonder what the hell would happen if you turned that pyramid into a 'slapper' detonator lol. Maybe 2500 B.C. sputtered ceramic parts were being made. Would make me feel alot better then mountains of religious crap.
It might also look sick if lightning hit a giant pyramidal 'fuse' material. I think it could have happened, they used to put gold reflectors on top of stuff out in the desert long ago to prevent people from getting lost and also attracting trade merchants, like it was big in egypt if I recall from the documentary I watched a while back (they only mentioned modest mirror sizes). Damn now I wanna know what would happen if you gold plated the great pyramid of giza and it got hit by a big lightning bolt. Aztec pyramids not nearly as interesting because they dont smooth em out.
