I think there is something wrong with this. Total max power output (P=VI=RI^2) of a battery is fixed (primarily due to overheating). Whether the batteries are put in series of parallel doesn't affect max power output. So, in parallel, they give more max current less voltage; and in series they...

Yes, this has been done many times before. Many many companies produce products such as these. In fact, I just walked into a room of one of our clients recently and was surprise to see the lights go on. A few examples...

I am interesting in what type of generator we are talking about. Is it really a DC generator? Most generators work exactly like the inverse of an AC motor, which consists of coil windings and a perminent or electromagnet. If your generator output voltage is DC, then you need a DC to DC...

Or used a connector block of some sort. They have ones specifically for converting wiresizes. Search on Digikey.com.

More information is required. What are you trying to isolate, and what are you trying to isolate from?

Hey, Thanks All. That does help a little. As I read further, I may post more questions here. Thanks again.

It makes sense to me that QM is incompatible with expected hidden-variables. But QM does imply that an electron has some difinite position since it has a definite particle interpretation, at least in QM. It just moves way to fast for us to see it. I suspect, that If we are tiny enough to be on...

Agreed. So the real question is this: Can an electron really instantaniously jump to another energy state (move closer or farther from the nucleous) or is it a gradual decent/ascent? If it is really instantaneous then, for some period of time, the particle disapears and then reappers at a lower...

Not really. That is the development of maxwells equations. Specifically, look at page 18, the first paragraph under plank's hypothesis: "In searching for a modification of the above treatment that would reduce the contribution of high frequencies to the energy, Planck was led to make an...

Question about quantization of energies The book is stating that energy transfers between particles (such as radio waves impacting an electron orbiting a proton) are always in descrete values E=hv, where h=Plank's Constant and v=frequency of the incident radiation. But, I don't see how E=hv...

Discussions Regarding "Quantum Theory", by David Bohm Hi, I am an Electrical and computer engineer. I recently decided to start studying physics in my spare time in the futile attempt to understand the universe, or at least parts and interpretations of it. I decided to start with quantum...

How will the two volums interact? will you open a valve of is the plate separating them flexible? Actually, it probably doesn't matter. Simple calculate the total energy of each system and combine them for the total evergy of all systems. If you are assuming no interaction with outside world...

Only if it has wings such that it acts, slightly, like a helocopter.

It has been a while since I used this, but: total energy (T)=potential energy (P)+ kinetic energy (K) I forgot the actually variable symbology you are probably using. T1=P1+K1; T2=P2+K2 Tcombined= P1+P2+K1+K2 that simple I think. If your asking how would you combine the volums of...

Pretty much. let me modify as follows: After reading gunslingor's comment on this, the way I understand it is like this. In the first situation where there is a stronger voltage, low current, and high resistance, the work needed to move 1 coulomb of electron is so much greater because of...
