As I see a number of posts negative on the NSF SBIR, so let me speak up in its defense. I'll discuss my experience as well as address some of the criticism I see above. I'll try and answer some follow up questions for people in th

Quick comment on your oven test: The your oven's shell is probably some low-grade, magnetic steel. Vacuum chambers are typically stainless, aluminum, or titanium (if you want to break the bank) so non-magnetic. Their shielding effects

Feynman mentions the Rhine example in his cargo cult science lecture ( http://www.lockhaven.edu/~dsimanek/cargocul.htm ) I think an even more interesting example, one that shows greater subtlety of these effects, is the

My 6p worked fine. What turned me off google phones is that that i only bought it a year ago and it won't even get security updates beyond a year from now. Might as well be a brick then.
