Hey, here's a question. You tend to know about stuff, and I have been curious about this for a while:

I have an electric pencil sharpener right next to the moniter of my computer. Whenever I use it, the screen kind of warps and discolors slightly. Oh, and, the sharpener is plugged directly into a wall outlet, and the computer is plugged into a 7-outlet surge protecter, which is plugged into a different wall outlet than the sharpener.

So, why does it do this? Is it just because of the blade spinning in the sharpener?

it's the forces of the jedi fucking up your computer's groove

Damn it! I knew I should have turned to the darkside.



toggletoggle post by MyDeadDoll   at Mar 5,2004 6:26pm
yeah, that's what i say. dark side is where it's at.

it's magnets.

his computer has maggots?

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought, but where in a pencil sharpener are there magnets?

your pencil sharpener has an electric motor in it.
electric motors basically alternate on and off and work with the "clay" magnets that are on the sides of the inside of the motor. (top left)

so when you turn on your sharpener, you kick of a big enough EM field to cause an effect on your monitor.

why is the monitor effected by magnets? well, that's simple.. sort of.. in side a monitor is a cathode ray tube. this basically fields electrons in a gun,

and bends then with guess what?
magnets!
and ther you go

I'm glad all that physics is good for something.
but wait.. what the fuck are you doing with a pencil sharpener?
I haven't touched a pencil since the 70's.

Nice, science is fun when:

1)I am not in school
and
2)There is no work involved

Anyway, to answer your question, me and the folks use them for crossword puzzles.
