One application I use my non-contact thermometer for is to see if the road I’m driving on is at or below freezing (in the winter). It’s nice to be able to do that out the window at 70 MPH.

Josh,
I was first turned on to Convert about 5 yrs ago. Use it regularly in my engineering business. Found this site looking for it for my home computer (my brother sent me a CT Scan of himself and I needed to convert kg to lbs.).

You would love browsing a CT scan.
Cheers and Thanks,
Joe

I can see where the IR thermometer would be useful for high speed auto racing, to measure the temp on your tires.

Curious… I wonder if the temp of your tongue goes up after eating hot sauce.

Hi, I like the simplicity and thoroughness of Convert. I’ve used it for years mainly for various
biological and physiological conversions. It’s great. Thanks alot Tom

try this…a bit lewd but valid…convert your member (male test).  then have vigorous sex with your girl (or a girl)(vaginally) for ten minutes.  then convert your member and see the difference.  you’re in for a surprise.  then, for the grand test, conduct the same test parameters when your girl is menstruating (if that’s not too disgusting for you or her or for you both).  this result will really be surprising.
