    How to turn Fe2O3 into FeO

    Hello, For my research I believe I need FeO for one of my compounds, but we only have Fe2O3 powder. Is there anyway i can convert this to FeO without using many other chemicals? I do have access to a furnace that can get up to around 1300-1400 C. Thanks

    Speed of Hydrogen combustion out of a tube?

    Hello, I was curious about how to calculate how fast the escape velocity of hydrogen out of a tube/cylinder would be. Once end of the cylinder is closed, the other is open, obviously. Assume the cylinder is full of hydrogen at 1 atm. My thought is that you could use PV=NRT to calculate the...

    I Is there anti-Information?

    Is there any theory that says anti-information exists? If there is anti-matter, would that matter carry information to annihilate the regular matter's information saying its a certain type of matter and turn it into energy? Could anti-matter just be regular matter with anti-information.

    Model Rocketry Licensing

    Interesting. This wouldn't be a rocket just a rocket engine tested in a laboratory. for thrust measurements. No horizontal launch is being done as long as you mean launch as letting it move. I'm not with the NAR i just called them because i figured they would know. Is it difficult to get...

    Well i was hoping someone would be in NAR, but the president of NAR already answered my question.

    Model Rocketry Licensing

    If your rocket is of a certain power range you need a certain license. My question is of you need these license's if you are only doing horizontal thrusts tests and never actually launching it vertically into the air?

    Highest possible AC frequency possible today?

    So 2.8mm is more than 2mm? i are you saying the frequency would be zoo fast it would act as a DC current since it isn't an "Oscillator"

    I'm a newbie with electrical engineering, i don't see why a wavelength would cause a problem with a wire. Can you go further into detail?

    Highest possible AC frequency possible today?

    What is the highest possible AC frequency being able to be generated. I don't care if this is usable in a circuit but as long as it can be physically made, what is the highest AC frequency possible? I've heard 70GHz was the max using an amplifier.

    Aluminum structure modifications for use near a very hot fire

    The new version I'm building consists of this: "The second version will have a ventilation system built into it because we have a dead spot in our yard so like no air gets to the bottom of the flame. There will be modified garden solar light panels to power a light system that interacts with a...

    In case somebody wanted to stand on it. picture a cube made of bars and then a cube of similar height but just a but smaller that fits on the inside and then they are connected.

    Aluminum structure modifications for use near a very hot fire

    I'm building an frame out of solid 5/8 inch thick aluminum square bars. this frame will be around a fire temps close to melting points but there will be insulation in make sure it won't melt. I was thinking about drilling holes in the free space of the aluminum to reduce it's weight and if you...

    What happens when Bose-Einstein Condensate exits a vacuum?

    But density is different than volume. Are you saying that the BEC density is larger than a liquid Hydrogen density? Thus, wouldn't that mean that the volume would have to decrease. Unless you account for a decrease in mass from the decrease in energy through the change in thermal energy?

    What happens when you remove an excessive amount of electrons.

    I am a Physics and MechE major. My questions are purely theoretical to I try and think of new ways to do new things or more efficient ways to do old things. While my idea may not seem relevant to the population, there is still a hidden purpose, within, which I'm not yet willing to reveal. And so...

    What happens when you remove an excessive amount of electrons.

    While he didn't mention it, i also didn't reply to him asking if he knew about the phenomenon. So it could be possible that he knew about it but just didn't mention the name of it.

    What happens when Bose-Einstein Condensate exits a vacuum?

    So essentially you're saying the volume of 1,000 liquid hydrogen atoms is the same as 1,000 BEC hydrogen atoms?

    What happens when you remove an excessive amount of electrons.

    Could you please elaborate on this? I asked brother (Chemistry Major (almost, if not 4.0 GPA) in my fraternity) and he said that it could happen (didn't mention Coulomb Explosion) but that the oxygen may not be recoverable since it would undergo (possibly) nuclear decay.

    What happens when Bose-Einstein Condensate exits a vacuum?

    The point of the question was for a hydrogen BEC. Like i said we haven't learned specifically about BEC's yet in lecture but i assumed volume reduced since temperature reduced. 1) I was under the assumption that multiple hydrogen molecules could take the state of one hydrogen molecule since...

    What happens when Bose-Einstein Condensate exits a vacuum?

    Well, i realize that it would no longer be a BE condensate, that's the point. The question was more so pertaining to, if there would be a rather instantaneous expansion in volume due to the extreme pressure and temperature differences. As gas cools, the volume reduces to a liquid and further to...

    What happens when Bose-Einstein Condensate exits a vacuum?

    I haven't learned about this yet in school but I'm assuming as the atoms condense down to a single wavelength the volume of the liquid would be very small. If this condensate was instantly released out of a vacuum and into normal atmospheric pressure, would the volume rapidly expand? Secondly...

    What happens when you remove an excessive amount of electrons.

    Lets take a simple water molecule for example. You can use the photoelectric effect to remove electrons from a molecule. As a thought experiment, let's say you have a contained single water molecule in a vacuum with no impurities. Perfect Vacuum. If you use the Photoelectric effect and beam...

    Electric Car Advances

    A lot of people have been arguing that TSLA's stock/the company in general won't take off because the demand is above the battery technology at this time. I'm a junior in college studying physics but will probably either switch to finance and do stocks because i like it more or i was double...

    You just completely missed the point. good job. if you know how the equations are derived you can better understand what the equation means physically and can apply it better.

    Are emergent properties real?

    I read A Different Universe by Bob Laughlin. Worst book ever. Terrible writer. 95% stories 5% science. I don't even know what he was talking about half the time because there's so many small stories every chapter. just saying. And the book was if favor of emergence.

    Taking Physics 2 before Physics 1?

    At most schools Calc 1 is the only prerequisite for Physics as far as math goes, or you need to be taking it at the same time as physics 1. All you need to know for Physics 1 (Newtonian mechanics) is basic derivatives for velocity and acceleration as well as some integrals for force, work and...

    What is a Photon?

    A photon is a packet of Electromagnetic Energy. Quantized light energy. A photon doesn't have mass but it has energy which is why it has momentum. E=pc. It travels at the speed of light because it IS light. Photons are the particle aspect of light. Light does have a measurable wavelength...

    Matrices and Physics.

    I think by proofy he means a class focused on theorems and learning why something is or isn't valid rather than pure application. My class is definitely proofy because we need to use the theorems to explain why something is or isn't always consistent etc.
