What is meant by "solid-phase methane" or "methane ice" ? If the methane is held in the form of a clathrate, then methane will be...

Should you also consider that the more intense sunlight may ionise CO2 into CO and O ? Is that the source of the CO ?

Yes, but it is a lesser effect. The bubble rests in the surface as it contains heavy, higher pressure gas, compressed by the bubble's...

Should the limit not be negative infinity?

I believe you have it backwards. The surface bubble does not control the rising stream of micro-bubbles, the rising stream drives the...

SMA is suitable so long as it is in close contact to the conductive enclosure, without gaps that could act as short slot antennas. The...

You must learn to think about conductive surfaces differently. At 8 GHz the chassis or external ground connection, between enclosure...

You really need to find someone local who has a lathe to make the components, from either metal or timber. The type of lathe available...

But not in direct sunlight, with significant vibration, or flexing at the contact.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_rollers Notice that the front wheel drum (roller) is driven by a belt or chain from a rear drum...

A bicycle is designed to roll freely across a flat surface, on a wheel with a radius of about 15". You have rollers with a radius of...

The problem I see with RTV silicone, is that it will bond well to itself, but poorly to aluminium or glass. Still, if the joint is...

I expect that the 40% counterweight is a compromise between reducing the peak ±load on the motor, and increasing the rate of...

What load variation, from minimum to maximum, is being lifted? What load is the geared traction unit specified to lift?

Differential thermal expansion will be a problem if the glue is too good, or the aluminium is too thick. Epoxy or superglue would last...
