IMO, a "Mech Warrior" or "Gundam" type thing would be completely superfluous, especially for urban warfare. You have something that cannot enter a building, and isn't going to be any faster or better armed than a tank (probably slower and with lighter armament). Plus, if it's that big, is there...

Hey, thanks for the advice. My confusion mainly came about because I was talking to the Dean of the Engineering school at Drexel university, and He said that "Aerospace engineering is dead." Those were pretty much his exact words. I think he was pretty biased, because Drexel doesn't have an...

Thanks, I knew I was right. your explanation is a little confusing (I have to admit I don't know all of the magnetic equations, so I'm not sure what B stands for, or why its derivative would be taken), but your answer seems to line up with my common sense.

you could just look at units. the first one says: (m/s^2)=(m/s)(s) or (m) m is not equal to (m/s^2) so it is wrong. The second equation says: (m/s^2)=(m/s)(s^2) or (m)(s) (m)(s) is not equal to (m/s^2) so that equation is also wrong * m=meters and s=seconds in the examples above.

I want you to help me settle an argument. Is it possible to have a center-pole magnet? That is, a magnet with one pole at the center, and the other pole facing out in every direction? I think that it isn't, because the molecules would force each other to all face the same direcion, or all of the...

Rabies. Rabid animals are more likely to bite other animals and spread the parasite.

There's another potential problem with a spherical vehicle. If you try to stop suddenly, or go up a very steep hill, you could endo up with the whole thing, including the people inside rolling. In monowheels they call it "gerbiling" because it's similar to a gerbil who tries to stop sudenly on...

That's really the problem, Aerospace and mechanical engineering are getting so close. Some people I have talked to have said that an aerospace degree is kind of a dead end because all the work can be done by mechanical engineers. This is a big question for me because it will have a big impact on...

High, I'm a high school senior who is just starting to have to pick which college I go to, and what to major in. I know that I want to become an engineer, but the question is exactly what kind. I always wanted to become an aerospace engineer, I know I want to work in the aerospace industry. But...
