You're probably correct, but there is more. Take a 200 pound payload, add some rocket to it, let's say 10x the weight to be generous, then spin it in a circle 200 feet in diameter. You're looking at 18 thousand tons of force

An oxygen free warehouse is overkill. Iron needs both oxygen and water to rust, so you can store it in a warehouse with just some climate control to manage the humidity. You could treat it like any other flammable powder, where you keep d

I have to meet with new groups of people on a regular basis and am likewise horrible with names. My notes in meetings consist of first names written down as a map of where people were sitting. If I miss a name, I leave an empty spot. It

While Barrier works well, TinyPilot is more capable. TinyPilot gives you full control of the remote machine, including BIOS screens. With Barrier you rely on having Barrier running on both machines, so you can't use it for things lik

regarding 3 wheels vs 4, I see 4 wheels having some advantages. If you picked a tricycle configuration you'd want two wheels up front and one wheel in the back for stability. If you have steering and drive in the front, you have a mo

I think the person you replied to is saying that while the grade of macbooks is good (which normal people call quality), the quality of macbooks is not (ie, does what it says on the tin, and the keyboard lasts the life of the laptop). It&#x

Commenting on your comment, the cost of the battery pack is roughly 70% cells and 30% battery pack. Using those numbers, cells at $100/kwh would result in packs costing roughly $143/kwh, vs the current situation where cells are c

I guess it depends on what you call a safe landing. For large airplanes the maximum takeoff weight is typically greater than the maximum landing weight. If an airplane lands overweight it can no longer fly until it has been inspected and

From reading http://theory.stanford.edu/~rvg/arroyo/ (warning: nudity) linked from the ropewiki page, when hiking from the top, this journey is a combination of hiking, wading along the river and floating down it.

Yeah, I also find it hard to believe that gravel doesn't get sucked into the jet intake. The Sam Chui video mentioned above is fascinating and shows the system in regular use in northern Canada. The aviation stack exchange has an arti

It is a minimal requirement, but the paper explains why it hasn't yet been done. In addition to the logistical issues of getting access to the scrolls, technological issues also exist. To simplify to the point of being wildly inaccur

In the latter part of the researcher mentions using different materials for the core of the motor to limit flux losses. Some of the efficient materials (cobalt in particular) are costly and would drive up the bill of materials cost of the

In the '90s I worked in a warehouse where some of the guys had bought old model 100s for cheap and had programmed an inventory system. The 100 was the perfect size to sit on the console of the forklift and you would record where you w

Assuming you're coming from North America, I found across Europe when my laptop was plugged into 240V I would get this, while 120V in North America was fine. It would also vary depending on the power draw - when the battery was rechar

While I think you're right, I do want to correct you on something. Class 8 trucks like the Tesla semi have an 80,000 pound total weight, hence the name 'Class 8'. Typically the truck and trailer weighs 32,000 pounds leaving

While true, I think cold temperatures might be the more applicable scenario. When the batteries are cold, the amount of power you can extract is limited, as is the amount of power you can inject by regen braking. This is one factor that l

This is a good question, and almost pure sail power may become a thing in the future. It looks like Maersk is trying to get ahead of the switch to cleaner fuel coming in 2020, which will increase their fuel costs by about 60%. This idea o

There is a practical aspect to building height. Berkeley is on an earthquake fault line, and buildings in the 6-15 storey range have a natural resonance that tends to match the frequency of earthquake waves. I'm having difficulty find

Something like this already exists: https://www.linux.com/news/here-come-x86-hacker-boards . I think these should be able to run DOS. If you want to go full retro, x86 is relatively difficult due to the support circ

Just want to chime in with others and say thank you for making this followup post. Regardless of the outcome, distilling the results the way you did means a lot to me and I'm sure others as well. Thanks!

From what I was able to find, brakes last between 240,000km - 2.5million km, depending on the material used in the pads. I would also guess that terrain and weight play a big factor. source: http://www.railjournal.com/index
