Are the materials used confirmed? --Ketza 10:56, 27 June 2006 (CDT)
- Past confirmed. Made an 8.1QL compass using 1.9W olive oil (incidentally the amount a pottery jar holds), a pottery jar, and a needle. --Joshu 06:36, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
This was at the end of the page:
Thunderstruck :D note:Sry its fucked up it was late at night and cant be F***ed fixing it
Olive Oil Amount
Someone please doublecheck the amount of oil a compass uses - I used 1.9kg, it may just use all available oil above a certain weight, in which case a decanting method to minimize oil overusage should be outlined somewhere on this page.
heh. I used 0.1 --Uzetaab 10:01, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
It seems that the amount of oil used has been changed. No matter how much oil you activate, it only uses 0.06kg of it. Discon 06:05, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
If you put one potato and one corn in a Pottery Flask and add oil it will give you exactly 0.06kg of oil. Usefull to minimize waste if you ruin oil with low ql experiments. -- Schwanke
skills involved?
Anyone know what skills are involved in making the compass? I doubt it purely depends on the ql of the needle and the unfinished compass.
