[QUOTE="Boulderguy, post: 2525317, member: 572916"] Appreciate the comments. If this has already been done please show me where, you'll save me a bunch of time. First off, I'm not a scientist. That said, all I'm looking to do is put them side-by-side so we can see who delivers what. Like this, for starters: [IMG]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f29/Boulderguy10/IMG_0520.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f29/Boulderguy10/IMG_0522.jpg[/IMG] These are all 4g scraps I have. Copper-only measurements are - [LIST] [*]Red - 4.50 mm [*]Yellow - 4.73 mm [*]Black - 5.49 mm [/LIST] That's almost a mm of difference in diameter, or 25% thicker compared to the thinnest one. The factors I'm most interested in are thickness of actual copper (IE not the jacket) and weight, the idea being just how much wire are we getting from each company. Resistance would be nice but that'll take a long piece. If we jettison the weight measurement I can do this with 4" pieces. Maybe that'll make folks more willing. Otherwise we can restrict the results to only those who contribute. I don't like that personally but it may be the only way to get ppl involved. Obviously the final review will contain all the relevant data on manufacturers/model etc. [/QUOTE]
