    Opinions please - ME Senior Project - Solar or Turbine

    Thank you for the feedback! The professor shot down any solar projects on the grounds that solar tracking was too easy. I was defiantly disappointed but we will be working on a school sponsored wearable robotic rehab device for people who have lost all or partial ability to move their hands...

    Opinions please - ME Senior Project - Solar or Turbine

    The fall semester just started and my team and I have to come up with a senior design project. Faculty projects and industry funded projects are very slim this year and it’s looking like our best bet will be to come up with (and fund) our own design. At this time I am torn between two ideas...

    News Why is the Rove/Plame issue important?

    Perhaps the Prosecutor is acting in a professional manner, and simply doing his job. I give you that point; however there are far more important issues that should dominate the news cycle. The political aspect of this story is the coverage, and the conclusions some are drawing about the meaning...

    News We are witnessing the criminalization of conservative politics

    Let me just respond to your points. Ok, you mentioned Gay Marriage. Every time a bill comes up for a vote it is rejected by a super majority. However, the courts are more than happy to rule such initiative as unconstitutional. "Preventing the privatisation of Social Security?" – Here’s an...

    News We are witnessing the criminalization of conservative politics

    Well hell, why not. Liberal ideas fall flat on there ass at the ballot box, the Democrats are failing to get any traction with their agenda. What the heck is their agenda anyway, oh yeah that’s right, stop Bush at all cost. So, it’s plain to see if you can’t beat them at the ballot box...

    News Why is the Rove/Plame issue important?

    It’s not important at all. The whole thing is one big non-issue. The only reason we hear about it so much is because the news media/left wants to see the president and/or anyone in the upper leadership of the administration made into criminals. This story is an attempt to prove a false premise...

    God & Physics: A Debate on Believing in Both

    The Church and science have a long and bitter history, and seem mostly incompatible. I think this is due to a struggle to maintain control and power. The Church sees science as a threat and science tends to discount God because he/she/it can not be measured or observed. I think a better...

    What Is the Tension in Vine B for a Hanging Monkey?

    Normal Force is used to describe the force perpendicular to an object in contact with another object. A book on the table is good example, or a tire on the road. In this instance the tension is the centripetal force + gravitational force. So, you are almost on the right track, in that your...

    Light Particles: Smallest Known Particles and Their Differences

    If a light particle (photon) is indeed a point particle with no volume, how can it have energy? Here’s my thought, let's say the volume of a solid has an amount of energy, then the sum of the volume times its energy would equal some constant. V*E=C therefore E=C/V So, as the volume decreases...

    What Is the Tension in Vine B for a Hanging Monkey?

    Consider this when solving for tension in the vines. First set up system of force vectors for both the x and y axis. (X) T_{a}\cos{\alpha}-T_{b}\cos{\beta}=0 (Y) T_{a}\sin{\alpha}+T_{b}\sin{\beta}-Mg=0 You can then solve for the tension of both vines. Then back subtitute and you should be...

    LaTeX Previewing a Post: LaTeX Graphics Not Showing Up

    This may be somewhat of a silly question. When I am trying to preview a post the LaTeX graphics never show up. It just says that it is being generated, and to reload the page in a moment. The problem is it never shows up. Is there always a huge lag on this, or am I doing something wrong? I even...

    News Why Do People Criticize Capitalism?

    I feel so wholly enriched now, with the knowledge that your pity will be with me. Like a shining star to guide me in the darkest of nights. :smile: :smile: :smile:

    News Why Do People Criticize Capitalism?

    Just the facts mam' I didn’t join to make just one post. In fact is, I joined because I like math and physics, and the like. I was checking out the site (very cool I think) and happened upon this thread, which ended up being the first post. I would like to take this opportunity to at least...
