That would work, but a large flywheel would also be a good solution. You could spin up the flywheel to store energy and if it reaches maximum speed then use the resistors. You'd also need to detect load on the grid and then run the fly

It would be much more difficult to feed power back into an AC grid from a regenerative brake. With a DC grid, no synchronization is needed.

Does the BBC not even get the history of Britain correct? The aircraft never exploded. It just broke up in mid flight.

Why would it be so bad if the government dug in and doubled down? I'd love to see a company like Twitter fight the US government.

The 60,000 year figure is pretty dubious. Also saying they've avoided contact or still live in the stone age probably isn't true. Obviously they are ignorant of the workings of helicopters and modern fishing vessels, but they like

After reading the description of "Morgellan's", it actually makes other pseudodiagnoses seem reasonable.

Well if we want to be difficult about this, Ireland really isn't a country either. It's a geopolitical region with two separate states on the same major island.

The university would be obligated to request they take it down as well.

Yes, that is the normal configuration for power delivery to a residence in most of North America.

You're actually missing a huge point in this, it gives the police the ability to selectively block the justice system. If a police officer sees a defendant that they wish to let off the crime, all they have to do is testify to some tri

You can't "take in 3 phase and output single phase". That's not how a transformer works. It'd be amazing if it did, as in Nobel Prize winning. In the US most homes are just tapped to 1 phase, if there are 3 on the p

If this increased cancer rates, whales should be completely consumed by cancer at a young age. However, there are few cases of whales being found to die of cancer.

How would that work? Does the Atlantic ocean flow into the rivers of Europe?

If they were using Houston then the study was either an internal study for the city, or someone cherry picking their study area to make sure they got the results they needed. Houston is either the worst place in the world to live, or the be

If life sucks for every generation just a little bit more, people eventually move away from the area. This solves the problem of parking and driving, because no one is there anymore anyways. Or if this happens on a national scale a civil wa

You're forgetting the convenience factor that the payment service creates in the market. Let's say I sell trinkets for $10/each online. They are nice trinkets, but no one really needs my trinkets. No one is going to send me a

Thank you for the feedback. I intend to go back and try and find a better basis for the mathematics I used.

I usually just do the opposite. I mark everything up knowing that somewhere a cut will be taken. If you have to pay me cash, then I just make more on that transaction.

If that encryption works as good as other DRM and copy-prevention schemes, I'm sure it will protect the machine for at least 72 hours.

I think of peer as meaning someone who is my legal equal. Historically in the US this meant a slave could not testify against me if I born a free white man. Obviously we are well past the point of having multiple distinct classes as such. B

Also in the case of TurnItIn, you can just pay them before you submit your academic work. They show you how to avoid getting flagged by their system by indicating what needs to be changed. It's a really great scam they've got goin

This was my thoughts exactly. If what the OP was proposing was not legitimate myself and countless others would be in legal jeopardy. I have written code that does the same thing at numerous employers because I am hired to solve the same pr

As a former IT support guy, I can't explain how much revenue Norton would generate from me. They would regularly push updates that wiped all the critical software from customer's systems. The software was often obscure products fr

Now that we're grown up, the transformers "movies" are really commercials for General Motors products. I seem to recall one movie even having just a dozen or so frames of the new Corvette before it was publicly available.
