You don't imagine, how large part of world, which have at least two months year, with near 90% fall of solar energy. And they have to use traditional energy sources, or buy energy from neighbors.

Overall, making business is simple, just make few things: 1. get some product (it is not really important, what is it, could be even garbage from attic, or old things); 2. make view, who could pay for it; 3. make simplest ad; 4. talk with p

Just do it. This is most popular mistake of people, to think about business, or to discuss it, instead of do. Because idea is nothing, but implementation is all. History know many fails with exceptionally good ideas, and much less number of

Most probably, no. - Turbine wheels noise is usually shielded by enclosure, and exists other powerful sources of noise, for example, intake. Yes, much noise of heli create intake air.

We don't really know, what used on military submarines, because real photos of their props are top secret. On civ subs, as I know, main driver of choose is just cost, so usually they use conventional cheap designs.

Kilowatt is ~ 1.3 hp, so 600W = 0.8HP. But, here important, that electric engines have much better torque on low rpm, even exist electric engines which give high torque just from zero. Also it is typical, to overdrive electric engines for s

You are partially right. It is really hard to write portable C++ code of small projects, because strings are different in nearly all major platforms. But if You tied to one platform, platform specific strings, usually, are good enough for h
