This is usually on the AM band waves. It is cause by interference from the fuel pump. When the car is off, the fuel pump is not running.

Can 206 clock work without radio?

Yes. If you remove the radio, the clock will simply show the current time and date. Beware, though, when I changed my radio, the clock's software went crazy and it stopped updating the clock. That means that when I turned the car on, it would show me the correct time, but then it wouldn't advance until I turned the car off and on again. This was fixed by unplugging the battery thereby resetting the clock's software.

Can a method be static and synchronized?

Yes. In Java methods can be static and synchronized. Static methods access other static members in the class. Static in case of inheritance are treated as non - static. Synchronized methods are those which have dedicated thread attached to it and no other can access until currrent thread leaves the control from it.


Who invented the radio telescope?

Radio Telescopes were officially discovered and invented by Karl G. Jansky in 1931. His radio telescope was a series of arms that spun around with the intention of detecting radio frequency interference during a thunder storm. However, as time progressed he realized that his "radio telescope" was detecting static which he could not account for. He also discovered that each day the static peaked four minutes earlier, ruling out his original explanation as the source being the sun. Astronomers refer to a stellar day (which is typically four minutes shorter than a solar day) as a sidereal day. Not being an astronomer himself, it took Jansky a while to surmise that the source of his static was in fact of Extraterrestrial origin. With further study he discovered the source to be the milky way galaxy and in 1933 published his findings in a scientific journal. However his research was largely ignored by the scientific community until in 1937 when Grobe Reber picked up where Jansky left off and built the prototype of what we now know to be a radio telescope in his back yard in Wheaton, Illinois. At first he began looking for radio waves at shorter wavelengths, with little to no success. He later increased his target wavelengths to 1.87 meters where he located strong radio emissions along the Milky Way. Reber continued his research up until 1944, when he published his own scientific findings. Despite this, it wasn't until after World War 2 that Radio Waves were explored in depth, since the Allies had discovered radio interference from the sun on their radars.

How long does a car remain running while turned on with a remote car start?

The remote just connects the starter selenoid with the battery, when it completes the circuit, the engine starts and will run until it runs out of gas or the engine is disabled.

1967 Cadillac engine wont turn off?

If the engine continues to run after you have turned the key off you have what was called "Dieseling". Checking the timing and set the idle to factory specs should cure it. Shutting the engine off while stopped in drive will stop the engine for now until you get it looked at.
