Hello Dear Members I would like to ask that i need to make electricity generated and stored in battery of E bike through seat of E bike . No pedaling only seat should be used , the battery of E bike is 48V Thank you very much

Okay, since I’m tired of being stuck at even just planning the midpoint catastrophe in my sci-fi story set on a generation ship — after all the scenarios I have already considered, but which ultimately wouldn’t have made sense, as the people on this forum were kind enough to point out to me —...

A power generation plant converts chemical (or nuclear) energy into electrical energy. This energy is then sent out via conductive transmission line. What would be a simple schematic for this process? That is, if we liken it to a battery, then the positive pole would be the high voltage...

It seems as though two advantages to using a solar sail turbine system instead of solar panels would be (1) the sails may not degrade as quickly as the solar panels, and (2) a sail turbine system may be lighter than a solar panel (and therefore less expensive to launch into orbit). The drawback...

Stokes operator squeezed continuous variable polarization states https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0208103.pdf Polarization squeezing and continuous-variable polarization entanglement https://arxiv.org/ftp/quant-ph/papers/0108/0108098.pdf I just found out from these sources that beams of light...

I am currently at a power plant here in Texas and the 480VAC system swings from 480 while equipment is on line and as high as 536VAC when equipment is off line. They tell me that this is prefectly normal but I have never seen swings like this at any power plant. So, is this normal???

Hello, I need some articles and pictures about secondary particle generation when x-ray(with different energy) collides with silicon and aluminium materials. I am simulating this phenomenon in geant4. I just want to validate my result.

Hi all I came to know about an old IC called probably "HE100" which was being used in DIFAR Sonobuoys for generation of composite signal. This IC takes 'Omni', 'Sin and Cosine Dipoles' signals as input and generates composite signals using internally generated 7.5 KHz and 15 KHz carriers. This...

Hello : i was watching the news , and it was all about how Europe will start the coal factories again for energy generation had a question related to reduction of coal consumption for energy generation 1 ) could we use coal fine particles instead of chunks of coal that will burn more...

If a conductor moving through a magnetic field generates an emf, which it does, COULD a highly conductive liquid (eg: sea water) moving through said field (like a magnetic flowmeter measuring flow rate is used) generate and would it be enough to be useful?

The first thread on my fictional generation ship SFV Exodus has come to a conclusion. So I've tried to take all the advice to heart and revise the design. I've come up with two potential alternatives. In accordance with @jedishrfu, I'm creating a new thread for this (images in spoiler tags)...

We've just had an interesting thread about generation ships, but I don't think that that is the most reasonable way to colonize another planet. Fatal problems: - Crew may become chaotic and self destructive. - Crew may become so adapted to space as to be unwilling to return to a planet. -...

I just watched this episode of Star Trek the Next Generation; The Inner Light. One of my favorites. edit: I just found this from a google search

Alright, time to get started on what I joined this forum for a few days ago: Checking the plausibility of the worldbuilding for my story about a generation ship. Specifically, one with falling birth rates - on its slide into totalitarianism as a result. ;) The main character is a 24-year-old...

Hi,this one as my new guy post! Any news on the next generation satellite?NASA?

Hello! I'm currently working on a project which aims to study common mode current filters. What I'd like to know is how can I generate enough common mode current in order to be able to make experiment on my filter ( its efficiency to reduce it for example) I have some constraints: -the current...

Are there certain things that threaten human evolution or at least threaten to make us less functional as a species? If for example we started living twice as long due to medical intervention with better health and started having children at twice the average age? Would it hurt much to have...

I need to simulate mach reflection with mach stem generation using on Ansys Fluent. The wedge angle is of 22deg at Mach 5.

https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~mhe/papers/omniscient-journal-revised.pdf Might be my favorite article I’ve ever came across I would like to see some interpretations on it to broaden my currently very narrow point of view… Have fun! -oliver

I’ve been asked to create a sawtooth wave form with four input voltages. After doing this I then added a second op-amp to both change the range of the wave form from -/+5v to -/+2.5 and DC offset of 2.5v to create a wave form that ranges from 0v – 5v as required by the question. For the most...

Good day, I am working on physics based neural networks and I am investigating the role of integrating physics based loss function on the network's training. So I am looking for physics based simulation for data generation (online tools) to generate data from experiments. I know I may...

Need some sources on why PWM is widely used in inverters for DC - AC conversion applications, and their mathematical basis? Basically, I was wondering why inverters had to use PWM, instead of just getting a square wave of let's say a 50Hz frequency and just filtering out the odd order harmonics...

Good Morning I have understood, as a general rule and category (and I realize all such attempts to categorize are fraught with danger), the four generations of languages, from as machine (first generation), to assembly (second generation), to compilable (third generation; e.g., C, FORTRAN) and...

Details to follow if there is interest.

Most generators work by rotating a coil within a magnetic field. This induces a current in the coil and can be harnessed as electricity. I was wondering if it would be possible to generate more power by using more than one coil with each one being progressively larger wrapped around the others...

Hello! Can someone point me towards some papers that use AI for gravitational wave generation? I found many papers using AI to analyze data, but not really something where AI is used to actually generate waveforms. For example this was done for particle physics simulations to increase the speed...

Hi all. I just watched a great video on gravity wave 'telescopes'. So i have been wondering if any of my intuitive hunches are right about gravity waves. Accelerated masses generate gravity waves that dissipate energy.. So let's say i turn my rocket ship engine on while sitting in deep...

Reading about the HOM effect, two photons come to a half-silvered mirror from opposite sides but they both end up going the same way - one always reflects while the other transmits. Which path they take is random but they both take the same path. Is the path they end up on initially a...

The program works as intended. #include <iostream> #include <ctime> #include <cstdlib> int coinToss ();int main () { int tosses, result; std::cout << "How many coin tosses? "; std::cin >> tosses; size_t seeder = time(0); srand(seeder); for (int i = 0; i < tosses...

My city has large district heating system, where the heat is generated at an incineration plant. I'm personally not a fan of district heating, and I would rather see the plant generate electricity through steam instead. I don't know if that was ever considered when the plant was built. Are there...

This question is inspired by a comment that @thephystudent made where he said that "The dephasing between the Bragg pulses is not unitary, I believe it can be explicitly written in Lindblad form and generates heat. I believe this Point of view is the same as (among others) the papers of...

What would happen if a coil it’s exposed to a moving magnetic field with only north poles? Coils being exposed to only North Pole. Will produce alternate current or nothing?

In theory or at least in my head, it seems simple enough to me. A simple water pump, such as a pool pump pushes water through a pipe into a water turbine and recycles the water directly back to the pump. With some of the hydrogenerators I've seen out there, they produce far more power than the...

Surely the real efficiency of Fusion power is the percentage of neutrons that can be caught to extract kinetic energy from. I am assuming it is the neutron that is carrying the nuclear energy that can be recovered from the fusion reaction. Now I'm pretty sure neutrons cannot be focused, so the...

hello everybody i have PARCS code and XS generator GENPMAXS. I am trying to generate XS from HELIOS output file (example output file given with GENPMAXS code). i am unable to do it. everytime it shows "reading Cross-section data" and do nothing. anybody working on that code, kindly give me...

Summary: Problems generating industrial clear Ice tube. The ice is cracking and we don't know why. Summary: Problems generating industrial clear Ice tube. The ice is cracking and we don't know why. Hi all! I'm an engineer from Spain and I'm working in a new project (factory ice). We have...

I'm a bit confused as to why can't you transmit AC current over a single wire. For instance, say you have an AC generator which induces potential difference at different points of the wire and thus, creating current. Downstream, the wire can be split and applied to a load. When the wire is...

Good day, I do not fully understand the physical mechanism of formation of Rayleigh waves at the free surface. While their derivation is quite clear and obey free-boundary conditions, it is not clear their physical mechanism. Could you please correct me in my discussion. Incident P-wave can...

Hi everyone. I was just out in my back garden and was watching the water from someone's shower pour down the pipe and out into a drain. I was thinking if all of the used water from my house just goes down a drain then why not try make use of it. If the water system continues after use and takes...

I have just been reading this https://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.09542.pdf It makes me wonder if anyone would go on a generation ship, What about you? I would not.

Hey all, for a dictionary app I have to code I have to implement as crossword game as a side feature, unfortunately this is compulsory, I can't figure out a good way of finding words that intersect each other (esp words that intersect multiple others) without a hell of a lot of goto and while's...

Sometimes I go back and think about this stuff, and I always find something I don't understand very well. Consider an irreversible isothermal expansion of an ideal gas from state ##A## to state ##B## and suppose I know the amount of heat given to the system to perform the expansion - I'll...

If we directly connect the two plates of an ideal charged parallel-plate capacitor, a spark will generate. What is the exact reason of spark?

Homework Statement I am wrong in my attempt, yet I can't figure out the reason why... Homework Equations (solution with h=250 W/m^2*K instead of 350 W/m^2*K) The Attempt at a Solution This is how I obtain the answers, which I checked all the calculations and I don't think there is...

Theoretically, squeezed state can be generated using a process called 'parametric down conversion'. I was going through the literature and found that people performed 'second harmonic generation' before doing 'parametric down conversion'. Can anyone tell me why simple harmonic generation is...

Consider the Sun. It radiates energy by generating EM radiation. However, Sun is not transparent to EM, and therefore energy can only escape from the surface using this mechanism. Hot plasma below the surface generates and absorbs gazillions of photons, but they are "trapped" there. But EM is...

With 44000 people for genetic diversity reasons, it is inevitable that some will be ill. Now the types of illness allowed would differ. Take viruses for instance. A cold virus like this rhinovirus: Would be no big deal. It would just cause a cold. Ebola on the other hand would be a huge deal...
