    I Just for fun: math brain teaser

    My answer looks like this (translating from my pen+paper notepad): a+b = a+a*b 1+1*4=5 2+2*5=12 3+3*6=21 8+8*11=96 my friend got 40, which I can also see. I am not sure who is correct. Please let me know and let’s put our heads together and have fun.

    B Brainstorm: Is absolute zero relative

    I know that absolute zero is impossible to achieve but we can get close. According to google the coldest temperature ever reached in a lab was 0.006K. Do you think this is because while the atoms are moving very slow relative to the observer they are still moving at the velocity of Earth's...

    Brainstorm and confusion of concepts

    I know several math formulas, like which I will write below. \int_{x_0}^{x_1} f(x) dx \frac{\int_{x_0}^{x_1} f(x) dx}{x_1-x_0} \frac{\int_{x_0}^{x_1} f(x) dx}{2} f(x_1) - f(x_0) \frac{f(x_1) - f(x_0)}{x_1-x_0} \frac{f(x_1) - f(x_0)}{2} \frac{f(x_1) + f(x_0)}{2} And I know too that...

    Is a Linear Actuated Drive System the Key to Creating an Air Powered Car?

    I have a good idea for a linear actuated drive system for automobiles and engines in general. I need a recommendation for a linear actuator that has a stroke of up to 18 inches, can perform very fast cycles of actuation and retraction in a controlled fashion, around 25 to 50 Hz. Needs to provide...
