    Relative Motion and Time Dependance on Velocity of Light

    I think he has a correct point here. Space time curves in the face of mass. Thus space time becomes more cureved the more massive a planet gets. This implies that time actually slows in the face of massive object offsetting the stretching of space. If you were walking on the sun and we were...

    Which Tax Basis is Best and Why?

    Actually, I think the best taxation method is ones that are easy to enforce and don't have room for cheating. There are two, property taxes (it's hard to take or hide property, although you must make sure it is assessed fairly) and no tax (the government prints free money and the inflation in...

    Classic Electric Power Generation

    Am I correct in stating that basically some books are simplifying when they say electrons flow out of a hydroelectric generator down wires, into circuits to a ground? In reality, they are oscillating electrons back and forth a certain amount of molecules like a series of waves. If this is the...

    Classic Electric Power Generation

    Oh I see. That makes things much clearer.

    Classic Electric Power Generation

    Thanks PF. What if the charge then goes into a circuit that does work then moves to a ground. Since the electron can no longer move backwards in the circuit, is there somewhere where an electron goes missing (wire, generator, air)? I was thinking perhaps it might not be best to imagine electrons...

    Imperfections of classical thermodynamics

    Light can cause pressure on an object. So light bounces from 1 place to the other which keeps exerting pressure forever back and forth causing some infinitely small amount of measurable energy. It never stops... until the reflector breaks. I love playing the devil's advocate to see how good...

    Classic Electric Power Generation

    A magnet surrounded by copper wire spins generating a A/C current down a wire for as long as it spins. Are electrons generating the current and amperage? If so, where are the electrons emenating from and why don't they ever run out? Also why doesn't the copper and or magnet end up becoming...

    Another promising development in hydrogen storage

    I believe many people are working on ways to bond hydrogen to chemicals to crystalize it. In the material maybe hyrdogen would be like 10-30% of the material. Bonding the hydrogen at room temperature is a good development if this works. After bonding I have heard that they can handle higher...

    Is Using Radiowaves to Heat Saltwater a Viable Energy Source?

    LOL I found out if you put metal in a microwave it can start a fire. Can someone interview me?

    Is Using Radiowaves to Heat Saltwater a Viable Energy Source?

    Unless he publishes more details all is speculation. Just because someone can make hydrogen and ignites it doesn't a scientific wonder happen. Perhaps he should take chemistry class if he thinks that's amazing. I would however be interested in what vibrates at what e/m frequency, including radio...

    Chrome and Stainless Steel Resistance

    Thanks. I noticed you are both frequent posters and appreciate the info. How do you find the time?

    Can Electromagnetic Fields Reach Infinite Strength or Range?

    Oh you have a good point there, depending on the angle and how light it bent it may cause inference or affect it in other ways so as not to get swallowed up by an magnetic force of ridiculously high strength, although I suppose particles wouldn't be too fortunate unless they find a way to...

    Chrome and Stainless Steel Resistance

    Thanks for your chemical clarification of oxidation protective barriers for stainless steel. So am I correct in believing that if I expose stainess steel to other metals in a harsh environment it may chemically react with it and strip away the barrier and cause erosion until a new protective...

    Chrome and Stainless Steel Resistance

    Oh thanks for the feedback. Stainless steel sure is much cheaper than titanium to protect against salt water and mild acid. I guess platinum is also relatively resistant although not resistant to theivery... lol. It is because of the surface oxidation coating protects further oxidation and...

    Global warming and its solutions

    It won't be solved in any form you know, but in the end it will be corrected for though non-governmental solution as follows: The US energy solution will go something like this. A declining population caused by weather related disasters and pollution even if we cut carbon emmisions in the US...
