Q:I am making a lamp shade that calls for bonsai wire. How is bonsai wire different from regular wire and what would be a good substitute for it????

Aluminum or copper are the best choices. Avoid iron or steel as they can react with the sap and harm the tree, especially a juniper. bonsai is a copper coated aluminum. Aluminum is more mallable, copper is stronger, with strength you can go thinner, but thin is harder on the tree.

Q:Can anyone tell me how to connect a older model ceiling fan in a new house... the fan itself has one white, one black , one red, one bare wire and a green wire. The wiring in the ceiling has one white, one black, one green and one copper wire. Thanks!

Q:Why do two parallel wires carrying currents in opposite directions repel each other?

since both the current carrying wires produce magnetic fields in the same direction which can be found out by using Flemming's right hand thumb rule the two wires repel.

Q:My computer kept switching all the time when ever I was playing a game. So I had alook in my computer and a wire I bought to extend the CPU wire. The extended wire had burnt so bad that the wire was showing out of the insulting. Will this effect my computer in any way because it was working fine and I shut it down before I took the wire out does it matter that my psu only has a 4 pin for CPU and my motherboard has a 8pin?

Buy a replacement cable. This has probably happened because one of the connectors is loose which would cause it to get hot because it has a lot of power flowing through it. Hopefully it hasn't damaged the pins on the motherboard with the heat, I've seen motherboards wrecked that way.

Q:EL wire, or electroluminescent wire, is a wire which... well glows pretty colors lol. I want to buy some to make a costume, but I have some questions. I have a feeling that it will degrade over time, but how long will it take? Or do they start to degrade immeidately like glow sticks? What is it that causes them to glow, a chemical reaction or something else?

Electroluminescent okorder ) have wire that lasts far longer. You can expect the shelf life of these wires to be about 4-6 years. At that time, the wire just doesn't stop working, it slowly breaks down the phosphor particles, and the wire will get dimmer over time. The expected working life of EL Wire is about 4-6,000 hours which beats your average glow stick by about 5,992 hours...
