@PAUL GRAHAM If you can place a strip or sheet, of foam or rubber, under the aquarium, that will tend to reduce point loads between the glass and the timber.

You can glaze the magnesium object, but only if it first has a surface covering of MgO, to isolate the Mg metal from the surface glass.

An assigned study requires that you must do some research. You must learn to do your own research. You have been given a clue. If we do the research for you, there is no advantage to you, and you will not learn.

Welcome to PF. Is this homework? If you place two identical beams next to each other, the deflection is halved, since each only has half the load. If you increase the depth of a beam, is the deflection reduced: (1) In proportion to the change in depth, (2) By the square of the change in...

No. Magnesium metal is highly reactive. Molten magnesium metal will react with silica to produce silicon metal and the ceramic magnesia, MgO. You could use the ceramic for its environmental and high temperature stability...

Silicon is usually refined by heating quartz sand with carbon, in an electric arc furnace, to remove oxygen. Your question may become, can the carbon be replaced by magnesium ? That is a chemical process called magnesiothermic reduction, which reduces release of CO2. Magnesium powder reduces...

Looking at this backwards. What causes the darker parts of the concrete surface, mud, or fungal growth ? Why, under the film reel, did the dark material not develop, or what removed it ?

Get a pH test strip and compare the areas that have reacted differently. No. It was simply the fog of war, reacting with the mists of time.

In order to profit from comments and corrections, they have knowingly and deliberately, got it wrong. Every "view to the end" pays them income. Every "like" pays them income. Every "comment" pays them income. Do not reward troll generated slop, give them a "thumbs down" and don't link to it here.

Near here, a local council road inspector walked a street, marking the potholes that were open. He ignored the ones that were only cracks in the surface, but not open yet. A local resident walked the street that evening with an identical spray can and marked the cracks in the same style. Next...

During those observations, what 3PH load is connected, in Y or Δ, to the VFD ?

Yes, all polymers absorb some water from the environment, even the PTFE insulation used in hardline and connectors can absorb about 1% by weight, and swell if kept submerged. If the water is bound into the polymer structure, then what water there is will have a low dielectric constant of about...

The thing that will change most with temperature is the thickness of the PCB. What material is the PCB? My guess is that your input lines are not accurately matched to the tracks on the PCB. You are operating on the slope of the match. As you change the temperature, the track impedance on the...

Yes it did, but it was very hard to see. We must wait a few days for the radar image of the crater it produced.

You tell me you want to visit the region of Kramers-Kronig, that is a long journey. Reading about a process, is not a substitute for actually building the numerical simulation. Reading a travel brochure, or an itinerary, is insufficient. You must actually take the journey, and write your own...
