I was talking about in a transformer. Seeing the additional equations helped me to understand the trade off for a step up.

Ok thanks this is really helping. So according to your derivation of P, I is the defining source of electrical power? I hope so because this makes sense. And great there is a trade of with a step up transformer. Now I am just curious as to how many amps can be created per volt. It seems...

My first question is with the relationship between current and voltage. I understand how they are related mathematically but not conceptually. Why would increasing voltage decrease current if the resistance stays the same? Why couldn't the current increase if there is more "push." This leads...

I never assumed it was simple. That's why I said I don't even know if it could be solved. There are a very large amount of variables which go into the equation, and I won't be able to account for most of them. I think the variable which I really want to consider are these facts, and the rest can...

How would you find/estimate the probability of receiving the same utility bill, to the cent, two months in a row. This is a continuous distribution with an infinite amount of solution. However, for practicality, I want to make the distribution more finite. In reality, my bill will probably never...

Thanks for the link sophie.

I do not expect spoon feeding, I simply did not understand the question. I did however give you "my thoughts on the subject." I will first look at the "mechanism by which each bridge transfers weight to the ground." Sketch 1 combines both the transfer of the weight to the ground and the...

Hardest part may be to keep the metal in the magnetic field while you pump out the air. It will certainly try to escape through your opening, affecting your ability to continue pumping and to continue rotation.

I am not sure what you are asking. However, my thoughts on the subject in general are as follows. I believe circular geometries to withstand greater loads, such as the damn holding back water or a pipe through deep water holding back its pressure, because the displacement is as evenly...

The context is just how you described with the damn. Similarly, it is interesting to here that circular geometry is disadvantageous with a beam. I was interested in the relationship of a structure's shape and ability to withstand a load.

Dave made a comment about curvature being a variable when determining strength of a material. I was wondering how curvature does affect strength in structures/materials. I know that "the more circular an object is the stronger it will be" is common knowledge. I am looking for something more...

Artificial gravity can be simulated in a zero gravity environment through rotation. However, an actual gravitational field cannot.

I believe you could look at this inversely. A bullet works by projecting a particle with certain speed through combustion. When this combustion occurs, a large pressure it built up within the chamber of the barrel behind the bullet. This pressure will then seek to equalize, projecting the bullet...

Haha yes, and that is another thing I have had trouble understanding. I have only seen it used electrically, now it is being brought up with acoustics. Apparently it is tied hand and hand with resonators. I need further explanation of how it works as well.

One of the questions was to define the term resonance. I do not understand what this means. Are you saying that frequencies which are not resonant are dissipated within the enclosure? Can you elaborate on this further? This is exactly opposite of its used when designing speaker...
