It depends what the peg is made of. Mine are mostly plastic or wood, which are insulators. However, many have metal springs, and metals conduct.

Why is there paper on the clothing hanger when you pick up your dry cleaning?

The paper on the clothing hanger is usually placed there to protect the clean clothes from coming into direct contact with the hanger, which could transfer dirt or discoloration onto the fabric. It also helps to prevent any potential damage to the clothing caused by the hanger.


What are hanger rods in regard to power plants?

Hanger rods are used in nuclear power plans as a means by which to control the fission reactions and thereby prevent meltdowns. The rods absorb free neutrons and thus limit the number of fission reactions taking place at any given moment. To this extent, rods can be either added or taken away to control the fission rate (and consequently the power output)


How do you get the wrinkles out of polyurethane jacket?

Just crank your shower up as hot as it can go, throw your clothing item on a hanger and let it hang in your bathroom with the door closed for about 5 minutes. The steam will soften the material and get the wrinkles out. :)


Can pieces of coat hanger wire be soldered together?

If by, "solder," you are referring to a regular "pencil" type soldering iron used for electronic projects, then you will not get good results. better to copper plate the hanger-wire first after sanding. The solder will not adhere to the wire material, it is an incompatible substrate. There are many DIY methods for copper (and other metals as well) electroplating using easy-to-find houshold materials like white Vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, a plastic bowl, two lengths of wire with aligator clips, and using pennies (though some discarded and stripped copper-core lamp chord or a piece of copper pipe is a better copper source). After cleaning thoroughly with vinegar well to remove any oils or dirt, and a couple of small batteries, etc. There are many youtube vids showing the process. Done with care as with all projects, it should be a possible avenue to get the result you desire, as well as fun and educational! Good Luck!


What chemicals are found in bombs?

By "bombs," I assume you mean explosive compounds. A complete bomb would include the metal of the casing, the batteries of the detonator, the paint on the outside, etc. Essentially, an explosive is a compound that oxidizes very rapidly. Oxidation is the same process responsible for rust and fire and the redness of our blood. One chemical all bombs must have, or get, is oxygen. In fact, the science of explosive design is principally mixing chemicals in such a way that the oxygen in the reaction will be put to use. Other chemicals commonly found are nitrogen, hydrogen, sulfur, chlorine and sometimes aluminum. How rapid is rapid? Well, if you could somehow get a wire coat hanger to rust from one end, it might take a week or more to travel an inch along its length; if you burned a sheet of newspaper, flames would probably devour it in less than half a minute; if you could start an explosive reaction in a modern detonating compound like RDX, the reaction would travel nine kilometers in one second.

Why aluminium hangers doesn't conduct electricity?

Aluminium hangers do conduct electricity, as aluminium is a good conductor of electricity. The reason you may not experience an electric shock when touching an aluminium hanger is because it is often coated with a non-conductive material, such as paint or plastic, which prevents direct contact with the aluminium.
