Spinning the Earth faster will have more effect that I imagined, because I imagined that it would have pretty much no effect. And the bottom of the satellite is always facing the Earth so it would actually look like the Earth is spinning. But this thread is kind of stupid if viewed by anybody...

The spectator could be on another "earth" and in another satellite with the same trajectory as the satellite orbiting earth.

Charging these batteries is easier than charging NiMh or NiCad's. I think it would be farly straight farward to detect when charging is completed as there is a very noticable change.

The weird area of the room might have a special gravity barrier box (or something) under the carpet put there by the last owner of the house and when the main character looks under the carpet he finds the mysterious box and opens it to reveal a wormhole and ... hmmm, not any physics in there...

A guy told me this theory which will counter act gravity and here is an explanation to destroy his theory: You are on a satellite orbiting the Earth at high speeds using centripetal force (acceleration) to overcome gravity (same characteristics as acceleration). Now, relative to the satellite...

You have been wildly misinformed sir. The moon has gravity, about 1/6 the gravity that Earth has. Any thing with mass (everything really) has gravity. Even light has it's own gravity (since light is a form of energy and the mass off energy is equal to energy/the speed of light^2).

[/URL] Necessarily, a comparable 4-stroke would be more expensive, quieter, more efficient, and heavier.

Speed is not only relitive to distance but also to time. By slow, you mean it takes time that seems long to you to travel a certain distance. To a 3 billion year old being, it might seem very fast because a year is a fraction of a second relative to his experienced age. So light isn't really...

pulsing current is just pulsing current. AC by definition means it alternates.

BAAADDD IDEA! Charging these beasts is dangerous as it is. I don't mean to be overcautious but I've had one explode in my backyard and it's very dangerous.

2-strokes are lighter, cheaper, more powerful, louder, and less efficient. 4-strokes are heavy, quite, efficient, and have more torque in mid range rpm. 2-strokes are less efficient because they spray in fuel while the exhaust port is open, hence some fuel mixture goes straight through the...

I've never heard of anything that high performance. Sorry.

Not everything is a weak magnet, in fact, an apple is actually diamagnetic because it contains mostly water. I don't know too much about the physical properties of ferromagnetic materials so I can't answer your question.

The amount of inertia in a heavier object resists it from accelerating faster. That's how I think of it (just made that up).

Inertia.
