Discovery of Dark Mater Guides our Course
I too, back in the late 90's was very disturbed at how the course of physics would handle the discovery of such vast amounts of "Dark Matter" and furthermore "Dark Energy." I mean my jaw dropped when I understood the ramifications...which was immediate...
The stumpers questions
-and again those are very valid points that we hope John Galt is looking at.
I have stumped many a teacher with their own "BADLY" stated questions.
So, keeping all perspectives in mind is a good way to go, especially if it is an essay question which when there is...
Energy recovery and Storage
Yes, in the final annalysis of Recovery and Storage of energy there are many (fuzzy) ways of doing it with many ideas. The largest question always seems to be how to store the captured energy and redestribute it in a proper usable fashion.
Sounds like you are ready to jump into Unified Field Theory
We need classical engineering Physics majors to jump into some old classical physics now and work in the new fields which will arise as the world begins to change.
This is not bunk. Read the theories yourself and understand that...
Just to make this simple for you place it in your math formula like it says.
0.8/2000 0.8 over 2000 hours. The answer of the efficiency is very low, but it's the truth according to the math. .0004 per hour is the answer according to the information furnished. Gee, slave labor does better...
Very good point Artman. Determine the unit in equilibrium, then the heat flow and distribution is another set of equations based on heat transferred to the air volume in time (flow or rate.)
