Degaussing a Warrior
Hi Dave!
Your assessment is correct... It was very busy here at YFC, many diversions to Fredericton and Moncton. Moncton actually tried to capitalize on it, but the people here at YFC just tried to help out... We get a lot of diversions here from HFX and Moncton anyway, and from Saint John. Of all these airports, YFC is the only "inland" one...so this situation is normal, the weather here in Fredericton is usually just better.. Sorry your trip was cut short...bummer! I have following your thread with "Warrior" interest. Ours is a '77 151.. new to us in Aug. Just "learning" our "new" plane! Discovered a phone plug in the map pocket 2 weeks ago, with wire attached! Previous owner(s) never mentioned it, no documentation. Asked them..."Thats your audio input to the intercom" ALRRIGGGHT! Fired up a $49 mp3 player, plugged in the wire and volia! last weekend to HFX, 6500 ft over the Bay of fundy, smooooth air, sun is shining, the Lyc is purring,crew & pax tuning everything from Meatloaf to Enya..... Hard to get it any better than that! (Hope Jay reads this! ) hehe... Hope you Warrior gets better soon!

I'm based at Ottawa (CYOW), but stopped at Moncton, Port Hawkesbury, Halifax, and Fredericton as part of a family trip to Cape Breton in summer 2004 -- it's a beautiful area for flying, especially around the Bay of Fundy and along the Northumberland Strait. I'd strongly recommend that any U.S. pilots in New England reading this make the short flight up there. This summer, because of the lightning strike, we ended up cancelling our trip to the Gaspe, along with a few other planned trips. You guys must have had quite a time early in the summer with all the problems at Halifax airport. Did you see a lot of diversions into Fredericton? All the best, David |

Degaussing a Warrior
"soxinbox" wrote in message
.. . It doesn't matter how intense the strike was. The metal can only hold a certain magnetic flux. If you exceed the metals maximum flux then the degausser will work. The TV degausser was designed to degause iron and steel, and so it can exceed the maximum magnetic flux of steel. It should work fine. You can also use an AC motor as a degausser, and a small compass as a field detector. - snip - I'm really curious. How does one go about using "an AC motor as a degausser"? Not doubting - would like to know something about the technique for doing that. DL |

Degaussing a Warrior
An AC motor works by rotating an AC magnetic field around a rotor, thus any
AC motor is generating an AC magnetic field. You can use it to degauss something by placing the energized motor close to the object and slowly pulling the motor away. Basically this is how all degaussing equipment works, only some equipment decreases the field electronically, and some decreases the field by increasing the distance from the object.
