Question:

where can i find small size aluminum/brass tubing, like 1/4 or 5/32 ?

I'm working on building a KAP (Kite areal photography) rig and I need 1/4quot; and 5/32quot; aluminum or brass tubing in order to make a component for the timer mechanismcan anyone tell me where i could find tubing in those sizesit doesn't have to be a long section either i only need the pieces to be 2 or 3 inches in length.

Answer:

Matthew - if you are in UK, there is a lot of KAP activity - my favourite links below I'd visit our local model shop for materials that small - also brass ferrules and carbon fibre or fibreglass rod/tube used in kite making - plenty of on-line suppliers - good luck! PS - you could always cannibalise an old TV aerial from your local recycling centre!
If scientists can create a time machine, it certainly won't be easy and no it would not be clear since we do not know of that possibility (yet)there are some theories where if you travel near light speed, relative time will be slower thus sending you in the future (you age 1 hour while people on earth age 2 years)If you travel beyond the speed of light, you might disapear like photons do and jump to parallel worlds in the pastAlthough according to Einstein's emc^2, it would require infinite energy for an atomic object to reach light speedthis voids the above theorybut who knows, one day somebody might prove that wrong and put a figure on the energy required.
