I'm currently in 2nd year Mech. Eng. in a Canadian University and so far both Mech. and Aero. students take the same classes, we split after 3rd year...but we still take a few of the same classes... If your into aircraft and so forth, Aero. might be a good choice because also of the upper year...

you've also got that state of matter which i forgot what it is called but neutron stars are made from it...where all atoms strip down to a neutron superfluid

errr...my bad. Overpaid: Government workers, not people that actually make the country run but the people such as in licencing, immagration..etc.. one of the most lazy people ever, never work 110%, bounus's for nothing, always late, never care... Underpaid: Engineers.

correct me if I am wrong but i once read that someone was awarded the nobel prize for demonstating this...something to do with a particle being in two places at the same time? Another state of matter? If what i wrote is completely worng then forget i ever wrote it...just want to know.

Reguarding that question, in not sure if they use ceramic blades for large applications such as in turbines. But composite blades are popular with small applications such as your floor fan or propeller Anemometers. The largest factor affecting meterial sutability wiht blades ic creep...

Damn Tyro...i got to make you my "homework buddy" for my Materials class...i learned more about that stuff reading your post then reading my textbook for an hour :)

Here are some typical values that i took directly off my Engineering Materials Textbook, but i don't know if this is what your looking for? You looking for elasticity? shear? resilience? rupture? Modulus of Elasticity (GPa): Aluminum 69 Brass 97 Copper 110 Magnesium 45 Nickel...

vacations in space are the most overpriced, shortest and most risky vacations there are, all for a great view and some weightlessness, for a fraction of that money you could go to a country like colombia where the prices are low and the coffee flows, then again it is kinda risky too...but...

In my point of view i find it hard to accept that ET's are comming to Earth often, just because of the distances involved. Even if thess aliens were traveling at 99% the speed of light then it would still take then a hell of a long time to get here, hundreds possibly thousands of years. So i...

I'm in the same boat as you (Mech eng.) and i looked into both options and i think that taking the math would be easier (for me at least) since here most of the classes that are needed for a math minor, i have already taken (i just need to ask how much and even if i can double up some of my...

humm...im not sure if I am right but assuming your trying to find the angular velocity of the turbine blades? then i think you need more information such as average radius of the turbine where the blades are. But I am not even sure if your taking about that...

2) The wheels motion is not affected by acceleration since the point of the wheel that touched the surface will always be 0 assuming that you have a non-slip condition. The only difference will be that fact that the actual wheel will be spinning faster and faster with the car. 3) Again it...

Funny you should mention it, i just posted about E. coil in the general dicussion forum and how it amazes me that the torque they produce is almost 100% efficent from the current of protons. Anyways if your referring to heat cycles such as the carnot cycle then the maximum efficency is...

Why wouldn't these be detected by radio observatories since they explode at such a rate?

I've never even tought of that...or never put much sense into it.
