    How much energy does wind contribute to the Earth's atmosphere?

    Isn't there work done in the creation of heat via friction? EDIT: i guess that's what russ is saying...

    How much energy does wind contribute to the Earth's atmosphere?

    Energy in --> Energy Out I'm looking at an idea exploring the nature of the atmosphere and weather patterns. The number of variables is truly staggering. In want to know if anyone here knows how energetic the atmosphere is in terms of wind. It seems that wind is essentially the...

    Medical Biophysics and Tissue Engineering

    Yes, As Andy had mentioned the "scaffoldings" are very important for tissue engineering. The design of the scaffolding must be approached with sound science and tight control of material properties in order to obtain meaningful technology. There is a considerable attention being placed on how...

    Diamond-based CPU's: Advantages & Applications in Physics

    "Does anyone know of any applications in physics that such a semiconductor would be advantageous over current designs? I am thinking high temp environments...but surely there are other applications?" This is the original topic of the post. Indeed it is a good one. There is a growing body of...

    Add carbon atom to pure hydrogen

    This is turning into a mental struggle, and not a struggle with facts and figures but over the validity of an idea.

    Undergrad Calculating Volume & Weight of Aluminum & Carbon Nanotubes

    I am trying to do a simple calculation to figure out how much of a certain material must be added to another to produce a specific volume and weight. Sadly, such a simple problem i cannot figure out! Naturally i thought i would ask. In essence i wanted to know how much single walled carbon...

    Bonding properties of silicon (001) wafer

    I just realized that when the SiOH bonds to the wafer that it's going to bond covalently and actually be pretty strong, however your looking to see if -OH can form i don't see how it's going to given that there will be strong repulsion between that head group and the SiO surface. Also i did not...

    How Can Engineers Approach Chemistry Through Interdisciplinary Projects?

    Show them a picture of laminated alloy from modumetal, explain to them what the picture is but don't tell them who made it or how. Describe the process and then see if they can figure out how it was made. If you want more info just ask.

    Undergrad Seeking help with visualizing surface

    I'm a rogue babble master, hear me out. I have been puzzled by this little idea concerning functions and the "relation" between the "size of the 1" for, say variable x, and the "size of the 1" for variable y. Naturally the two variables x and y both take "the unit" as their size of 1, and...

    Whats the max molecular weight for a single polymer strand of styrne

    Ahh then the story changes. I do wonder about those intermolecular bonds though. See.. i am trying to set up a processing environment whereby long polymer are chains directionally controlled, highly aligned. Then, i want to try to actually do the ABS polymerization reaction upon this highly...

    Bonding properties of silicon (001) wafer

    The bond for Silanol will be pretty weak though, will hold at atmospheric but depending on the nature of your research might be pretty useless.
