Does 6 gauge wire need to be in a conduit if run in a finished garage along the wall and ceiling?

If you are talking about #6 building wire, it needs to have mechanical protection. This means that it has to be run in conduit. If you are talking about #6 cable set like Romex, then it only has to have mechanically protection below a five foot elevation from the garage's finished floor. If the wall that the cable set is running in is going to be finished with drywall or plywood then that is considered protected.

Can you run electrical along a metal fence?
Yes, as long as it is in a plastic conduit.
Why 2 different phase wire are not supposed to pass through same conduit?
According to the wording ,2 different phase wires "can" run through the same conduit. Not only can they, but if they are part of the same circuit they must. And in cases where conductors are paralleled, meaning more than one conductor per phase as is common in commercial and industrial installations, you put one conductor of each phase and a neutral, if one exists, and a ground in each conduit. Not doing so, meaning to put all of one phase in one conduit, causes a voltage to be induced into the conduit and a tremendous amount of heat builds up. Even when using pvc or other non-metallic conduit, somewhere along the way you have something metallic and have the same problem. To simplify, you must put all conductors associated with the same circuit in the same conduit.

Do you have to bury your wire for a hot tub 20 feet away from main breaker?
It depends on what you want it to look like. it could be run underground in plastic conduit. Above ground in metal conduit, or overhead. If there is a fence or railing running from the breaker to the hot tub the conduit can run along that. If it is run along the ground it should be marked or covered to avoid accidental damage to it.
Can you have only one current carrying conductor in a conduit?
You can have only one current carrying conductor in a conduit, but that conduit must have a slot to relieve the eddy currents that will be created by the transformer effect created by the conductor. It is better to run the neutral or opposite conductor along with the hot conductor together in the same conduit, or through the same penetration, so as to minimize this effect.
What is the name of the device which moves the paper targets along the ceiling of the shooting range?
Target runners
How did Descartes think of the coordinate planes?
It is said that he was ill and in bed. He looked up at the ceiling where he noticed a fly. He figured out that knowing the distances from a corner of the ceiling along the two adjacent sides of the ceiling will uniquely identify its location. So, if the corner of the ceiling was the origin and the two adjacent sides were the axes, you have the Cartesian plane.
What alternatives are there to wooden garage doors?

What supports acoustical ceiling panels?
The acoustic ceiling panels provide sound absorption like facility. Acoustical ceiling panels support unceasing enactment. There are a variety of acoustic ceiling tiles, groups along with this; there is a T-bar ceiling. There is no only wall that providing a sound reduction facility but also giving us the stunning look. There is one of the services hanging baffles sound absorption, which is provided by the Prolad- best acoustic, ceiling, wall covering company in India.
How can you test a rigid steel conduit system being used as an equipment ground conductor to ensure the conduit will be able to carry sufficient ground fault current?
No test is needed. The conduit sizes are laid out in the electrical code book. It states the current carrying capacity of each of the conduit sizes. These test were done by an underwriters test laboratory and approved to carry the stated current capacities. Where the trouble might arise is with the workmanship of the installation. An example, when threads in electrical conduit are involved wrenches must be used not just hand tight, The same thing goes with lock rings, hammer them on not just finger tight. The metallic conduit system needs to be tight to work. There are new code changes coming down the line that will state that a ground wire will have to be pulled along with the feeder wires in a metallic conduit system.
