A client asked me to look into designing a vacuum chamber for drying out lumber. I am a decent fabricator but sadly not so great at the physics side of things. I know the chamber I'm building will need pretty thick material and a lot of reinforcement. He wants it to be roughly 10'x3'x3' inside...

Hiya Hiya. I'm trying to build a solar system simulator for research purposes, and this does not seem to be all that easy. As in, my firsts tests have the moon shooting out of the solar system... I was wondering if you folks could offer some guidance. So, since it's for research, accuracy is...

i tried to build an induction coil. the input voltage is 12.1 volts. the output voltage is 16.5 millivolts maximum. so the voltage in the primary coil is 12.1 volts. the voltage in the secondary coil is 16.5 millivolts maximum. the induction coil consist of a nail. thicker coils form the...

Would there be any fundamental reasoning (i.e. excluding cost, energy, and resources) that we could not build a modern day CPU using Si JFETs rather than Si CMOS? I realize the JFET device size would be huge, and the absences of enhancement mode JFETs may impact power consumption, but would...

Many cities, such as Rome and Mexico City, have been built over older, preexisting cities. From what I've read however, this tends to happen in stages, especially after disasters like fires or earthquakes. I'm wondering if it would be theoretically possible to build a completely new city over a...

Homework Statement You arrange your climate control system so that as it pumps heat out of the cabaret air and thereby chills and dries that air. Part of the heat your system removes from the cabaret air goes to the outdoor air and part goes back to the cabaret air. It turns out that delivering...

Are there any books or a sequence of books I could study to build up a picture of what I can know for sure and why I can know it? I suppose that's what some people do when they study a subject and move from the basic principles to further stuff. So like, has anybody started with the smallest...

I am in a high school physics class and have been recently assigned a mouse trap. We were given a mouse trap, that is all, and sent out on our own to create one. The requirements for this specific mousetrap car are to go forward 3 meters, then backwards 2 meters, and finally forward three meters...

Homework Statement A ball is dropped from the top of a building and falls vertically downwards. Air resistance can be neglected. After falling a distance d, the speed of the ball is v. Determine the speed of the ball (in terms of v) when it has fallen a distance of 2d. Homework EquationsThe...

The official NIST report on the collapse of building 7 on 9/11 states that the thermal expansion of a floor beam due to the fires disrupted a support column on the thirteenth floor, and that is what ultimately caused the building to collapse. Is this the sole cause or could there have been other...

A few years back when I was quite young I stumbled upon this.I'm asking whether this is plausible. I'm guessing it isn't, since the chair hasn't absorbed any of the falling force, and you are still traveling at the same speed of descent, just wanted to discuss.

I've been reading about self teaching physics (mainly because the college curriculum is too slow to get me to any meaningful level of understanding at the end of four years), and an issue was brought up about lack of intuition in quantum mechanics/GR, and depending too much on the math. I was...

Howdy folks, I took a course way back in undergrad on the fundamentals of energy sustainability, so I have a good preconception how how hydropower works in general, but not in detail. So when my little sister (grade 7) came to me asking for help on a hydroelectric dam project, then I thought it...

Would it be possible to build a small 20' X 20' or 30' X 30' building using car tires using maybe one layer tires then black plastic to keep rain out then another layer of tires? If you just stack them vertical for the wall how would you build roof? Stacking them like great pyramids would look...

Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to build a solar cooker which can also be used during the night / the next day so I was wondering if I can get some advice about how it can be done, especially the material that I can use to store the heat. I saw an article that said a professor from MIT had...

... In this 19 sec. video, a guy climbs up a building by jumping against two opposing walls. I don't see how that could be possible. Some shoe-soles materials stick very well on smooth-shiny surfaces, true!, and the guy's mass has a side-to-side motion and less time to fall down... But I still...

Lucien Hardy's Quantum Theory From Five Reasonable Axioms has deepened my understanding of QP foundations, and motivated me to write a paper. The essence of my paper is that "connectedness" of state space (or the acting Lie group), need not be assumed, but can be deduced. Before linking to the...

Hello. I have been interested in radios lately and wanted to make one by myself. I know that it requires a lot of knowledge in physics and electronics, but what basics do I need to know? Frequency, antennas, voltages... Could there be any legal issues? I live in Australia. I am only a high...

Hi everybody, new to the forums :) I have a personal dream to build a drone/quadcopter from scratch. I'm aware it's not an easy task, and I've also searched this forum (and Google) for similar threads before posting: Drone Building Building a Quadcopter (links to what seems like a useful PDF)...

I'm building a model wind turbine. I'm using thttps://www.vernier.com/products/kidwind/wind-energy/kw-wth3/ as the hub/the base. That's the only kit I'm allowed to use. I'm supposed to decide on the blade size, etc. THE RULES: . Students will will sign up for a time slot and test their own...

Is there a cheap and easy way to calculate horsepower and/or torque for an engine out of a car? I am restoring a 68 mustang and would like to run an engine on a break in stand I will build. It would be nice to be able to use it to tune the engine. I read somewhere something about placing a...

Say you were building a full-wave rectifier. How many simple ways (if any) are there to reduce the THD on the source caused by using a full-bridge rectifier load? Also, If you used a low pass filter and then an isolation TX (or the other way around?), how much would that help to this end (if at...

I am probably not as smart as most of you. However, I like to think what I lack in skill I make up for in will... I would like to be able to balance my own wheels at home. My family has 4 cars plus 1 additional "project car". I also live in the middle of nowhere near an amish community. I would...

Lately, I've wanted to build a compact source of synchrotron radiation that is accessible to researchers with size and budget constraints. So far, I've managed to outline designs of the superconducting dipole magnets that will be used to keep electrons moving in a ring path within the booster...

So as a quick background I've made a 3-d printer (I know a monkey could assemble one of those DIY prusas) and want to step up my game a little bit. I came to the realization that some people have made/sold DIY milling kits, but most of them are for plastics or wood. I would like to make a...
