Bystander reacted to Chestermiller's post in the thread Expansion or compression -- which is more energy efficient? with
Agree.
What do you mean by the term "cooling can be generated," and are you saying that this broad statement has no constraints? For example... -
Bystander reacted to jrmichler's post in the thread Torque to turn a large Beam on a Rotisserie with
Agree.
BTDT, so I'm speaking from experience. You need a sufficient safety factor in the torque calculation. I suggest calculating torque... -

4225kg or 4225N? What kind of bearings? What friction numbers are we talking about from the bearings? What will you use to hold/clamp... -
Bystander reacted to Baluncore's post in the thread Torque to turn a large Beam on a Rotisserie with
Agree.
Welcome to PF. Torque is needed for two separate reasons. One is to overcome the 3.25 mm eccentricity of the mounted beam, the other... -

Bystander reacted to WernerQH's post in the thread Undergrad What physical quantity has dimension [ML⁻³T⁻²] in electromagnetism? with
Informative.
There is some arbitrariness about dimensions. The Gaussian system has only three, but it is a mix of the electrostatic (esu) and... -
Bystander reacted to DaveC426913's post in the thread High School Uniform thermal expansion of metals with
Agree.
That's gotta be it. I drew some diagrams for them. Let em chew on those. The real takeaway here is: don't argue with people on social... -
