It's sure been a wild ride this year! Between some AI missteps and breaking LaTeX for a good portion of the year (at least we got dark... -
256bits replied to the thread Winch rope force to pull back a folding canopy.No there will not be. A toggle joint cannot support vertical forces transmitted through the joint. Any vertical force put at the...

256bits reacted to jbriggs444's post in the thread Why Is Fan Suction/Intake So Weak Compared to Exhaust? with Like.
Yes, of course. With a little bit of time to ponder, I have a different way of explaining this. "Why was there not a directional flow...

256bits reacted to DaveC426913's post in the thread Why Is Fan Suction/Intake So Weak Compared to Exhaust? with Like.
Yes, as an open system, electricity enters the system and is converted to kinetic energy as air flow. If you time-reverse it, you...

256bits reacted to jbriggs444's post in the thread High School Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity? with Like.
You have had opinions offered both ways. Both opinions are accurate. It depends on the details. Primarily on the duration of the...

256bits reacted to Baluncore's post in the thread Why Is Fan Suction/Intake So Weak Compared to Exhaust? with Like.
The fan lowers the pressure at the inlet. Air from all directions begins to flow toward the fan, turning gradually as it accelerates...
