"Google is the home to world-class engineers working on the world’s hardest problems". World-class engineers: true. World's hardest problems: false. Unless google has a secret space program, cold-fusion reactor, cure for canc

Make the app then license or sell it to the bus company? I am in the exact same boat, at my university. Actually, a couple years ago I started making an iOS app too for bus timetables but never finished because after a couple months of deve

I really wouldn't call this "real" engineering. As a mechanical engineer it really sounds like they literally threw it together and hoped it fit after they tested the motors "...models were assembled together in the CAD

This is great that this article got to the front page and that many people disagree with it! It is imperative that we see both 'sides of the story'. This helps us strengthen our arguments, create new opinions and dictate our actio

Yup, Seebeck is incredibly inefficient, as for RTG's in space I think they would rather use a Rankine cycle but that would be prohibitively too heavy to launch. Good on your for using peltiers back in HS. In HS I made a sweet exoskelet

It would 'work' but it would be grossly inefficient. Your room is cooled by a heat pump(air conditioner) a Peltier is just a different heat pump, a very inefficient one at that. You would end up spending much more money cooling th

Thanks, No doubt the fan would eat most of the power, thats just another engineering challenge to overcome. There doesnt seem like a better way without making the flashlight huge, then again the scale of power I am used to is an several ord

Wow, her dad is my coworker and I heard this casually mentioned at work the other day that his daughter was working with Peltiers and I should consult with her because I am also working with Peltiers for characterization of phase change mat

"The results of the new comparison have not been published in a peer-reviewed journal." I would read this article with a grain of salt. Although as a university student I can attest to seeing myself and my peers sleep deprived. I make sure

I interpreted the title 'Go and Rust' as in 'go and make some iron-oxide' evidence that I am a mechanical engineer and programming is just a hobby.

In regards to parts such as turbine blades(parts subjected to extreme heats and pressures), which are usually made of single crystal nickel-based superalloys, this would also NOT be applicable. That is until 3D printers have the resolution
