Question: Exactly how do you tap a maple tree in order to get syrup from it? I'm interested in knowing how to tap a maple tree including things like: Does it have to be a certain kind of maple? Where do you tap it at? Does it have to be a certain time of year? Does tapping it harm the tree in any way?

Answer: Drill a 3/8" hole at a slight angle aprox.1&1/2" to 2" into the tree.A brace and bit will work or a cordless drill.Then insert the spigot in the hole.The sap will run when the nights are below freezing and the days above.

Question: How can people say tap water tastes as good as filtered water? I did an experiment. I put some tap water in the fridge, and some filtered water in the fridge (from one of those faucet filter thingys). I drank both on a hot day. The tap water tasted like chlorine pool water. The filtered water tasted good. Now that I have stopped drinking tap water, the chlorine taste just jumps out at me. Why is the chlorine taste not obvious to most people?

Answer: idk at my house, all the water is filtered. we have our own well.

Question: How do I stop my kitchen tap splashing? My kitchen tap is a mixer tap and the flow of water isn't a nice even flow - it splashes all around the sink area. I notice my bathroom taps have some kind of mesh over the actual spout - what is this? Can you buy just that little mesh so i could put it on the kitchen tap myself? Any other tips for a splashy faucet?

Answer: its called an aerator. it may be clogged but by the sounds of it it is missing. if you turn the stop valves closed a bit there is a good chance they will leak. they are made to seal all the way open and all the way closed. clean or replace the aerator.

Question: How do i tighten the taps on my tap shoes? I got these new tap shoes from my uncle, but the taps are a little loose. Is there a way I can tighten them, or anyone that can do that for me, or are they just screwed?

Answer: Taps are supposed to be a little loose, sometimes, depending on the company, and the type of tap. If they have flat headed rivets in the bottom, take them to any shoe repair, and they can tighten them for under $10. Some dance shops have employees capable of tightening taps. If they have screw heads, use a screw driver, and tighten them very slowly, so as to not over tighten.

Question: How to change from hot and cold tap to a mixer tap? I want to get rid of my old individual hot and cold taps and replace them with a mixer tap. Underneath the sink I can see the copper(?) pipes leading up to the taps. How do you reshape these pipes? Do you simply bend them how you want, or do they need to be heated up or something first? Thanks!

Answer: This is relatively simple as far as the plumbing goes. If you have shut off valves under the sink, you just need to get new water supply lines. Measure the outside diameter of the lines going to your faucet, they will most likely be 3/8". Buy lines in the length that you need that would fit the valves (3/8" compression) one one end and the faucet (1/2" national pipe thread) on the other. If you don't have shut off valves, it's recommended that you install a set; In that case, find out what type of pipe you have going to the smaller lines that go to the faucet, copper, iron or plastic (if plastic, what color) and is the connection between those pipes soldered or do they screw together. Armed with this information, someone in a home improvement store can guide you to the right valves for you. My biggest concern here is how far apart the existing valves are from each other. If the center of the valve stems are about 4" apart, you can get just about any faucet that does not come with a "pop up assembly" and be just fine with it. If they are 8" or 10" apart, you will be more limited; In the case of a bathroom sink, you will be limited to a "deck mounted 2 hole mount 8" , It's fairly expensive and will probably be a special order. If this is a kitchen sink, just about any faucet labeled for "2 hole" or "4 hole" mount will work, you'll just have to take a few measurements before going shopping. If this is a bathroom sink, as I suspect it is, and not 4" on center, the most economical options may be to either replace the sink or leave well enough alone. Hope this helps.

Question: What makes the tap water cloudy when you first pour it into a glass? When you pour water out of the tap, it first looks very cloudy before settling. What causes this and does it mean that the tap water is bad for you?

Answer: If you let it set a minute, is it clear? If so, it's probably air dissolved in the water.

Question: How to know which fret to tap in finger tapping? ok, let's say you're playing finger tapping on Am scale. but how to know which fret to tap on for the papping hand, in right handed players, the right hand and vice versa? Ok, based on the first answer, tap on 12 means tap on 12 with the right hand or fret it with the left hand and tap it?

Answer: just tap the Am arpeggio, its the root (tonic) , 3rd (mediant) and 5th (dominant). so in Am that gives you the notes, A-C-E. so put ur left hand index finger on the 5th fret on th high E (A) ur pinky on the 8th fret high E (C) and use ur middle finger on ur rite hand to tap the 12th fret high E (E) so 5th fret, hammer on 8th, tap 12, over and over again. thats the basic Am tap e-----5----h---8---t---12------------- h=hammer on t=tap

Question: How to make my tap water colder? My tap water gets really hot but only gets lukewarm at best when running cold. If I get a glass of water to drink I always have to put ice in it, which sucks because lazy people around here don't always fill ice cube trays. Is there any way I could adjust something somewhere to make my tap water come out colder?

Answer: Sorry, tap water comes straight from the city's lines. Hot water goes through a hot water heater, but the cold lines are not really cold, just unheated.

Question: How does the center tap on a transformer actually work? What direction does the current flow? It looks like the current in the tap would have to flow in two directions at once since the tap is both more positive and more negative than either end of the winding at any given moment.

Answer: The center tap is usually used with full wave rectifiers. Ground the center tap and connect the positive sides of two diodes to the other legs of the transformer and their anodes (negative terminals) together.. That will be the output. Call one diode the top and one the bottom. During one half of the AC cycle, the top will be more positive than the center tap and that diode will conduct. The other leg will be more negative than the center tap and no current will flow through the bottom diode. When the cycle reverses, the bottom diode conducts (more positive) and you get DC out. With no diodes, the center tap current is zero.

Question: How come some people tap their fingers differently to others? I tap my fingers from index to pinky, but everybody else i know taps theirs from pinky to index. Why is this?

Answer: Its just the way your brain works. I tap pinky to index myself. I would have to assume it depends on which side of the brain you use. and i am right handed. i tap pinky to index with my left and index to pinky with my right. Possible answer

Question: Why does my cold tap in the kitchen bubble and spurt first thing? Every morning I come down and my cold kitchen tap makes a bubbling spurting noise etc initally then its ok and only on the cold tap in the kitchen that does it. Any ideas? Can it be fixed? Could something be causing it?

Answer: Try running the tap for 10minutes in the morning. If you get more spluttering from the tap, then there is air trapped in the pipe. Can't help you any further, never heard of this before.

Question: How do you tap an acoustic guitar without hearing extra noises? When I tap on my acoustic guitar, I hear two sounds, one from the strings up the neck from the fret I tapped and another from the strings downwards. The extra and unwanted sound becomes worse down the fingerboard. Is this caused by my guitar quality? Is there any way to tap fast without hearing this extra noise? I know you can press a higher fret from the tapped fret to minimize the noise, but it doesn't help when i'm playing fast.

Answer: AFAIK, tapping is mostly an electric guitar technique, partly because electric guitars have lower action than acoustics, and partly because electric guitars are amplified. For both these reasons, you don't have to tap as hard on an electric to create the sounds you want at the volume level you need to be heard. On an unamplififed acoustic, the higher action and lack of amplification mean you have to tap a lot harder, which is why you get those unwanted extra sounds. It CAN be done on an acoustic -- I saw Michael Hedges in concert once, and he created some awesome sounds by tapping on an acoustic -- but he was playing an acoustic fitted with piezo-electric pickups and running the signal through a variety of effects boxes.

Question: Can I tap into an outlet in my attic to wire an outside receptacle? I have an outlet in my attic with only 2 lights attached to the same circuit. I would like to tap into this to run an outlet to my outdoors kitchen - through the soffit (in conduit). Would I be violating any codes?

Answer: It would be safe if you use GFI on the outdoor outlets. It may not meet current/new contruction codes if it is a 15 amp circuit. Current code does require 20 amp circuit for outdoor outlets. Keep in mind that all homes older than a couple years do not meet current new construction codes. So I wouldn't really worry about the code issue. Just use the same size wire as the circuit and add a GFI outlet on the outdoor end. Then you are safe.

Question: Does electrolizing tap water cause the chlorine in it to become gaseous and therefore creating chlorine gas? I am trying to get some hydrogen and oxygen from water and I want to make sure it is safe. I know they "purify" tap water by adding chlorine to it, so does the electrolisizing process make this experiment deadly?

Answer: No. Cl2 has an oxidation number of 0, so it's already in the water to some extent. Cl2 + H2O ===> HClO + HCl, but the [Cl-] is there in too small an amount. So go ahead.
