    Indirect bandgap in carbon nanotube

    I read that they can attach a single plantimum atom onto a carbon nanotube that is useful in a reliable fuel cell membrane. It looks like this _____:_____ : Hope that helped.

    Aerial and subterranean electric lines

    The ampacity of cable is mainly due to two things, how much heat it can take and still remain strong enough not to stretch (areial). Or how hot it will get before the thermoplastic insulation will flow, or otherwise stop becoming an insulator (buried). Which case do you think will require more...

    Signal attenuator controllable by UDP,TCPIP?

    Digital attenuators were common place when I was doing RF. May need to build a simple serial to parallel interface, maybe with a convertor to BCD. These should be available surplus, based upon the magnitudes of quantity that I have seen scrapped.

    What is the best degree for a career in quantum computing?

    I would say it would be an electircial engineering major with a physics minor or visa-versa. The applied computer science of quantum computing is far off, best learn the fundimentals. The programing aspect will become natural.

    MATLAB Surround Decoder: Get Started in Matlab - Hello Science Fellows

    Sorry, but this somehow relate to surround sound?. I thought that was just your basic sterio with front, back, left, right speakers.

    Multiple Rotor Motor: Possible or Not?

    It is kinda like a standard single rotor motor with a fundimental and a strong 5th harmonic, fighting to rotate the motor in reverse. Is the purpose to generate heat?, there are much simpler methods.

    Finding the Perfect Undergraduate Project or Thesis: Expert Tips

    The best and simplest undergraduate work would be a computer modeling tool that will simulate whatever, particular subject that you are most intune with. For me it was RF/Micowave systems. But lately it has been more basic down to Earth power system coordination.

    Single Phase Voltage from 3-Phase Line: Explained

    Actually, The main method of urban and suburban over head and URD is done single phase with line-neutra *in the usa*, europe is 3-phase secondary distribution 3-phases+ 2*line voltage = 8* the secondary line distance over the US, the neutral designation is MGN, or multiple grounded neutral, It...

    Of the nobile gasses, which has the greatest propensity to ionize?

    special effects, dancing bubbles, holographic disapearing talking heads. dig into your pockets and pay for someones elses imagination, (you definitely need it!) I guess this is a sophamore hang-out, I'm outta here, and taken my patent's with me! Good luck turning the same crank for the next 50...

    Of the nobile gasses, which has the greatest propensity to ionize?

    (1) If I set an experiment, in a room with a metallic floor, and a metaillic ceiling. the two plates have 20,000V of dc voltage impressed across the plates. I walk in, wet footed, with the bubble master's favorite limon joy and water concentrate. I am in no danger as I am well below the...

    Can We Harness Lightning to Generate Energy?

    I walk on a carpet and get a sharp shock from the door knob. Where is the conservation of energy, did it all the stored up charge (energy) get balanced by the "shock". Is it possible to get shocked twice by the same charge?, ie. the carpet friction charge potential is equalized into the door...

    Design for a Hydrogen Fuel Cell

    I just saw on Power Electronics Journal that sandia / Cal state is starting a big program on fuel cells, maybe you should apply there.

    What Are the Best Mobile Power Options for Portable Energy Sources?

    Norjl, hey, got any references, papers, articles, on your IR laser, plasma do-wa-jiggy? I would really like to know. And to AF. Your only hope is diesil electric gensets, give up the dream. reality A typical 1 GW nuclear reactor needs it's new 40 ton core once a year. This seathing mess...
