Can an automatic transmission driven vehicle be started by achieving a certain speed if coasting?
What speed if any will have to be achieved to start the vehicle. If it cannot be started in this fashion, what change or adjustment can be made to enable it to do so? I do not have problems with a vehicle starting. I am researching the development of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle at the […]

fission based nuclear reactor…?
Can anyone tell me the basic operation of a fission based nuclear reactor power generation station? So far i understand that coolant is pumped around the reactor and is turned to steam by the heat generated by the reactions. The steam drives the generator. I have only got this information from sources in text books […]
When a large star has spent all its nuclear energy it finally contracts due to its own gravity and becomes?
When a large star has spent all its nuclear energy it finally contracts due to its own gravity and becomes a dense small object called a neutron star. Many such stars are found to be rotating with a high speed. How can you account for this high rate of rotation particularly when most stars like […]

Knalgas/Oxyhydrogen fireworks
Voer elektrolyse op water uit. Je krijg twee brandbare gassen: waterstof en zuurstof. Vang deze gassen bij elkaar op in een flesje, en je hebt goedkoop vuurwerk. —————————————- Do some electrolyse on water. You will get two flameable gasses: Hydogen (H) and oxigen (O). Put those gasses together and you will get some cheap fireworks.
Chemistry Electrolytic Cells Help!?
Consider four different samples: aqueous LiBr , molten LiBr , aqueous LiF , and molten LiF . Current run through each sample produces one of the following products at the anode: liquid bromine, fluorine gas, or oxygen gas. Match each sample to its anodic product. Consider four different samples: aqueous LiBr , molten LiBr , […]
Does a UPS (APC) still consume electricity when it is turned off, but plugged into the wall?
I have a APC UPS that is used for my entertainment electronics (TV, DirecTV, PS3, etc.). Before I got the APC I just had a surge protector and just turned the surge protector switch off when I left home (to conserve electricity). If I turn off the UPS (after turning off the electronics), will it […]

response to alternative fuel were ok but do you know indepth how much $ for solar, hydrogen duhh and extractin
…g? do you know how much you can trust hear-say? as a matter of fact, diesel engines were primarily to run out of vegetable oils, expensive and huge fields to grow unless in Brazil; costly hydrogen duhh to produce; need better batteries and better climate for solar;new oil fields to discover, don’t forget that China […]
what is the best way to generate electricity from a parabolic mirror?
Hi everyone, For a summer project, I want to build an efficient solar powered generator. I want to use a parabolic mirror to collect the sun’s energy. Should I use the collected sunlight as heat differential to power a stirling engine? Or use the sunlight to boil water creating steam to power a steam engine. […]
