Baluncore replied to the thread High School Is it safe to fly in a spinning hollow asteroid?.If you threw a ball to a person ahead of you, would the ball plunge towards their feet. If you threw the ball to someone behind you... -
Baluncore replied to the thread High School Is it safe to fly in a spinning hollow asteroid?.There will be an unstable Lagrangian point line along the rotational axis. How does someone who is flying stay on that line? The rate... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Measured Spectrum of Stopped Wood Organ Pipe Shows ALL Overtones.Compressed air flows to the foot of a pipe while the key is pressed. Each pipe generates a different note, with harmonics, called... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Measured Spectrum of Stopped Wood Organ Pipe Shows ALL Overtones.True, as that would require an instant step change in pressure. But there are filtered forms of square wave that have attenuated odd... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Method of storing energy on the Moon.Have you compared the weight of the energy-storage flywheel, to the weight of the equivalent batteries? -
Baluncore replied to the thread VFD for powering a car lift.You understand the compensation requirements. I have not checked your calculations because your result is in the ballpark I expect... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Aerographene in a vacuum.Yes and no. Having investigated the possibilities previously, the first "vacuum airship" will actually be a reduced-pressure, a... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Looking for a reliable source of Aerogel.0.095 g/cm³ is perhaps a typo, that should read 0.0095 lbs/ft³. 0.0095 lbs/ft³= 0.152 kg/m³ = 152.2 g/m³. The lowest density solid foam... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Looking for a reliable source of Aerogel.Correct. 0.095 g/cm3 = 95.0 g/litre = 95.0 kg/m3. -
Baluncore replied to the thread VFD for powering a car lift.Is there an elephant in the room? Is there a mention of the motor being in star or delta connection? Maybe the motor is stuck in star... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Measured Spectrum of Stopped Wood Organ Pipe Shows ALL Overtones.The length of the tube decides the fundamental. Blown air is switched into the pipe, or out of the pipe, due to pressure changes at the... -
Baluncore replied to the thread VFD for powering a car lift.Do not overcompensate the motor inductance with capacitors as, when you turn it off, the two will become a resonant self-excited... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Automotive Engine Oil Level Sensor Pin Details.Keep the ground connected and the power stable at +5V. You need to dip it in oil to see a change in the output. There is no Ford Motor... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Measured Spectrum of Stopped Wood Organ Pipe Shows ALL Overtones.In music, for a simple system, the second harmonic of the fundamental, is usually the first overtone. The third harmonic then is often... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Measured Spectrum of Stopped Wood Organ Pipe Shows ALL Overtones.The blown airflow switches path at the upper lip, (labium), alternately delivering air into and out of the pipe. That is a form of...
