    Energy Solenoid
AI Thread Summary
To determine the energy usage of a lateral solenoid based on its length and diameter, users seek online calculators that can provide this information. Energy loss due to resistance and heat is a concern, as solenoids can act like a dead short in a coil. Increasing wire diameter reduces resistance but may affect the solenoid's speed and strength. Users express confusion over terms like "Permeability," "Magnetic B-field," and "Inductance," which are crucial for understanding solenoid functionality. Additionally, there is a question about whether a magnet will continue to accelerate through a coil.

Sorry to bring this up again but is there any way of telling how much energy a solenoid will use for a lateral solenoid for a given length and diameter. Is there an online calculator?

I'm interested to know how much energy is lost in the form of resistance/heat as my understanding of how they work is that they are basically a dead short in a coil? If you increase the diameter of the wire I know resistance will drop but I imagine this will impact on the speed/strength of the solenoid? Thanks

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
