    Solar power and power loss over distance

    I was having a discussion with a friend, and my side of the argument was that for solar to work you also need a lot of fossil fuel running in the back ground just during the day, making it very expensive. Let's take New york as an example. Let's assume they have enough solar panels to produce...

    Weight Loss Physics Before SR: How Was It Understood?

    People jog, thereby expending energy, and lose weight because of it. As modern people who understand mass energy equivalence, we know (or can presume) that during the process of running, the body derives its kinetic energy by breaking down ATP in the cells. When this breakdown occurs, the total...

    Friction loss to vertical pipes in a closed system?

    So in designing closed systems, mostly heating systems, I realized today that I've probably been doing one thing wrong all these years. In such a system one doesn't take elevation loss due to gravity into account since you "get it back" on the way down. This I've always been aware of, but what...

    System Loss In Terms of I why not V?

    We all know that the system loss in transmission line is i^2R. So, in order to reduce the loss we diminish the current flow through the line by means of transformer. My question is i can also calculate system loss by the formula v^2/R where v is the potential across transmission line. So...

    Voltage loss w/ resistor scaling with current

    So according to the ideal voltage loss equation V = IR if I double I (per se) I will double the loss in voltage. This is a bit odd and I just want to make sure my intuitive explanation is correct. I am assuming voltage loss is mainly due to some electrons bouncing off the resisting material and...
