Like.
A little off topic, but since I alluded to Faraday's long apprenticeship with Sir Humphrey Davy that acted as bridge from self teaching... -

@adam_snyder if you have a software development background, and believe you have found some improved ways to do computational general...

russ_watters reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread How do people explore new ideas in physics? with Like.
No, I'm just pointing out that his "sales pitch" makes his proposal off topic. The fact that his "sales pitch" might not be an accurate...

russ_watters reacted to Lnewqban's post in the thread A Condensate rate of water for an air conditioning cooling coil with Like.
Welcome! Number of rows in the coils is also important. Calculation is very difficult, due to formed film of water around the tubes...

russ_watters reacted to PeroK's post in the thread I Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry? with Like.
That's what the Michelson-Morley experiment did. If there were a universal rest frame (in which Maxwell's laws held), then the speed of...

russ_watters reacted to Nugatory's post in the thread I Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry? with Like.
That’s the principle of relativity and it’s not Einstein, it’s Galileo from centuries earlier - Google for “Galilean transformations”...

russ_watters reacted to Dullard's post in the thread A Condensate rate of water for an air conditioning cooling coil with Like.
Not precisely responsive, but may be useful to sanity-check results: The theoretical maximum water production rate is approx 5.6 Kg/Hr...

russ_watters replied to the thread A Condensate rate of water for an air conditioning cooling coil.That assumes all of the energy extracted is for condensing water. You can do something like that with a more complicated cycle/system...

russ_watters reacted to Haborix's post in the thread How do people explore new ideas in physics? with Like.
I think OP could have a more productive discussion by posting in the relativity subforum using the homework template. It really sounds...

russ_watters replied to the thread A Condensate rate of water for an air conditioning cooling coil.This is relatively easy to calculate by hand. Are you familiar with the psychrometric chart? You can manually look up values in the...

And George Green was a miller from Nottingham who did ground-breaking work in mathematical physics in the early 1800's. That was 1800...

russ_watters reacted to Ibix's post in the thread How do people explore new ideas in physics? with Like.
There is a barrier to entry with computer code: does it compile/run and do what you claim in at least a couple of simple test cases. If...

russ_watters replied to the thread How do people explore new ideas in physics?.It's not a "holier than thou attitude", it's a true reality. That's not what I said. I said "near zero". It's certainly possible (not...

russ_watters replied to the thread How do people explore new ideas in physics?.There's really no way around the fact that the barrier to entry (being educated in physics) is required for practical reasons. There's...
