I think alota people missed the point here... The key word in the post was "India". The fuel quality there is crap, outside of major cities! The use of dual plugs allows the ignition timing to be "retarded" to avoid knock, as the combustion is propagated on 2 fronts. I found as the builder of...

How about an arrester hook, and a spring loaded "trap wire/ cord"? Sort of the upside down configuration of a carrier landing..

I believe the main premise, could be achieved, however the water would come out as an atomized mist, @ the well head/ venturi discharge. To try an inexpensive trial, you could purchase a used, smallest, early aircraft venturi, used to power directional gyro's, bank/ turn indicators and the like...

If your talking about modern quad copter drone motors, and the like, just google" Brushless D/C motor diagram"

Citroen has had hydraulic ride height adjustable suspension for DECADES... A pump is driven off the engine to supply the fluid pressure. To change a tire, you would raise the car up to max, then place the jack stand under the corresponding wheel change pad, under the body/ frame, and then lower...

I seriously beg to differ.. I've built every type of HD Sportster racer there is, from unfaired dragsters, to half faired Sporty road racers @ Daytona, to 883 series road racers w/ nothing but a flat # plate for aerodynamic's on the front, and the flat tracker's share the same flat # plate, in...

My BUDS class,USN was a bit of a different sequence.. The instructor tossed all your equipment to the 15' deep end of the pool, and you had to dive down, and put it on, Tank, mask, clear the mask underwater, May West vest, and so forth. Strange, but I never felt truly secure, till I got the...

Now, don't get me wrong, the nut might still be there to this day. Aviation has a long history of providing redundancies to crucial systems, especially when specific precision maneuvers are concerned, the nut, may be, and would be a realistic, back up, w/ the PIC watching the gauge, and the...

Many thanks Drakkith... So the mental semantics, was in my interpretation, of his analogy..

My bad, I believe the term he used, was a friction-less super fluid, if that's any different, a description.

Not even close. Should you care to view, what a modern, not quite as sensitive, "recording G meter" looks like, you can go to the Aircraft Spruce and Specialty Company website, and get an idea. These units are FAA requirements for all prop driven aerobatic crafts, whether flow in airshows, or...

Also, the PIC (pilot in command), has a very sensitive G meter, prominently displayed in front of him , and has practiced this vomit comet maneuver, to perfection, least all the unharnessed occupants, be thrown to the rear bulkhead, to be bloodied and broken.

Thank you, yes That was the idea as explained by a Prof. @ Cornell ,I met @ Watkins Glen, few years back.. Or he didn't describe it properly/ I misconstrued his explanation ? Thanks in advance.

I'll probably get head slapped for this, but if Bohr's assumptions were correct, violation of Bell inequalities, what then? This still has not been decided/ proven, after 70 some odd years.

I'm well aware of this, in my fairly advanced age, but we were talking about conversions of currents. Lot's of old cars use to have their electrical systems w/ the positive terminal going to ground also, but it was the advent of modern electronic components, that allowed us to use alternators...
