I am not asking for an answer to the hypothetical. It was only an illustration. "I am using an arbitrary idea here to illustrate a question about computer modeling." I am asking for advice on how to connect to someone that can do computer modeling.

Hello, I am using an arbitrary idea here to illustrate a question about computer modeling. I have a mechanical fan that uses xx power to produce a wind velocity of 50 mph in a calm environment. I want to know if a consistent wind blowing at 48 mph in the same direction as the fan is blowing...

Don't assume. Truth is, I did go online to other sites with the replied information and did try to understand the calculations. There is no need to insult me, suggesting my lack of math skills (even though I know them). From your last reply, it seems we both have strengh in a subject and are...

I just want to mention that I have diligently been here on this site for 2 hours hoping for an answer to my question. I had searched for an answer online prior to posting my question. I will remain on the site and wait for some help. I hope this community is able to help with this question.

Well, I came here with no understanding and with a question. I still have no understanding and still have a question. What help can I expect from this community? I am more than willing to continue to try to understand, but I have very limited skills.

Is this how the Physics Forum works? There is no interest in actually helping answer a question, but coaxing the questioner into finding his own answer? I am not looking for a homework answer. I understand that most of you are proficient in math. I am not. However, I am here with a question, and...

It must be difficult to understand how non-math people find their eyes glaze over so quickly when given this information. It's not that I don't want to make the calculations, I just don't get it...really. 20* and radians...huh? I was just hoping that someone just knew enough to quickly know the...

No I don't. I'm sorry. I was hoping someone here would understand.

Today this guy at work told me that a 2MW wind turbine required 20K ft lbs on the main shaft at 20 rpm. I thought that I had recently read that a 750KW wind turbine might need 20K ft lb torque. I am not looking for exact numbers but which seems correct?

Geothermal energy. I just need help with the question. Jeff

I recently inherited a cabin that is very close to an old mine. There is an air vent that is constantly (24 hrs) blowing a steady, high volume of air from a 3.5 ft hole. I would like to harness that air. I was thinking about taking a 3 ft diam PVC pipe and affixing it into the shaft, with 4 fans...

Hi, One cubic foot of air will lift approx 64 lbs in water (basically). So if you start at a xxx depth with a balloon that is one cf, as it rises and expands the lift capability increases, right? What if the container was an aluminum sphere. Actually, say you have 2 same size spheres, both...
