I've heard somewhere that you can use magnets to slow down the countdown of a gas or electricity prepayment metre, therefor meaning you don't have to top up with money as often. true or false? fiction or real? I'm very curious (and tight! haha)

I have an LED headlight on my bike. If I press the switch once it lights up.
If I press it again, it starts flashing - when I press it again it goes off.

How does that switch work? Does it use transistors in a speciall circuit - or is it something else?

For the science fair my partner and I made flute headjoints out of various materials. We were planning on blowing through them and using sound frequency wave analysis software to see how many overtones were present in the sounds. Then based on that we would come to a conclusion about the different metals and how they affect the vibrating column of air inside the flute. I'm starting to think this isn't enough and I'd like to connect the project with a real life application. Does anyone know of a practical usage of vibrating columns of air in tubes (one that is comparable to our experiment)?

TV Signals (RF) > Circuit that will transmitte them (wirelessly) > Circuit that will receve them (wirelessly > TO TV set.

I want this circuit because I have 2 TVs and a cable connection. TVs are far about 50 meter. So i don;t wanna use a wire. I want circuit that can send TV signals and recive at other end and feed to TV. As cable owner takes double charge for 2 connections.
