May I also add for pavolgrad, BP wasn't drilling anywhere. BP owns the rights to the seabed in that area, Trans Ocean was doing all of the drilling. The final decision to check the BOP was Trans Oceans. I don't know if any oil company drills their own wells, the drilling is usually handled by...

I also agree somewhat with pavolgrad and somewhat with stewart cs. And just so everyone doesn't blow me off as someone sticking my 2 cents in, my father is the CEO of an oil campany, has been in the industry 30+ years starting on the rigs in GOM and contracts to my countries government on...

ALL oil wells have some form of gas in them, its another byproduct of the process. It would be impossible to vent all of the gas and if you could there would still be pressure present. As for the pressure dropping rapidly that would depend on the volume of oil. As I mentioned before the saudi...

There will also be pockets of methane inside the reservoir as the local geology is never usually round, most wells naturally vent for a long time, the wells in saudi arabia didn't need water injected into them until the late 90's to force the oil out. Dont forget takes a lot of time and...

Hiya, Could anyone give me the equations for finding out: Magnetic field strength acceleration of a metallic object due to a magnetic field the force felt by said object and any others you think would be useful Id like to do some math before buying anything because I have a couple of ideas on...

Thanks Pallidin I plan on using a laser system to fire each magnet and in theory it should be possible to electronically "jam" the mechanism should a ball get stuck preventing the one behind it impacting, which could lead into an interesing experiment into kinetic energy. Another idea I...

Hi pallidin, Thanks for your reply. Let me clarify. I will be using a capacitor for each stage, but I want to be able to continouisly (yes i know its spelled wrong) fire the entire mechanism. If I can capture the back EMF and feed it into the capacitors it will reduce complete cycle charge...

Firstly, I am sorry if I sound like a moron I only finished 1 year at university before leaving so I don't have the firmest grasp on some of this. I do have a massive facination with nuclear physics and quantum mechanics, string theory etc. Secondly, Im looking at building a linear accelerator...
