I have been looking at various solar power dish designs. They have one thing in common, they all have their power generators located at the focal point.
Why don't any of the designs use a secondary mirror located at the focal point and the generator located center of dish and right behind it...
From what I understand all processors are based on the Von Neumann architecture and instructions are fed into the processor based on the clock speed. I've recently come across the IBMs new neural chip SyNAPSE. The chip is event driven, operating (using power) only when needed.
Can a standard...
why, from what I understand all it would take is a large moon relative to its parent (like Charon 12% of Pluto), placing the barycenter outside of the diameter of its parent, a symmetrical moon in all 3-axis (talking mass here), an asymmetrical parent creating the tidal lock, and a relativity...
I don't think my question was very clear, I'm aware of two different kinds of tidal locks and I'm wondering if there is a third,
- The first is where the satellite is tidally locked to its parent (the moon), where the satellite always presents the same face to its parent as it orbits its parent...
Are there any known examples where the moon orbit is locked but continues to rotate?? so instead of the moon tidaly locking the orbit it's the parent that is responsible for the tidal lock?
Can a parent body be tidally locked with a moon, so if one was standing on the planet the moon would appear in the same location in the sky day and night?
Say you have a binary system (with similar mass) in the following orbit
with a planet located at the barycenter, is this possible and is this a dynamically stable system (over billion of years) ??
If this system was an Earth like system would I assume correctly that it would not have a nigh...
