    Scale Source
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of combining a high-capacity backpack with a small-scale energy source for outdoor activities. Testers have successfully generated up to 7.4W while carrying weights between 44 and 84 lbs, highlighting the potential for energy generation during hikes. The idea is presented humorously, questioning the physical fitness required to carry such heavy loads while generating power. There is curiosity about the practicality of using such a system, including concerns about chafing and adaptability for energetic pets. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the innovative merging of technology with outdoor gear.

OK, OK, The ULTIMATE nerd backback would be a combination of the 2! :smile:

The only problem is that I have a hard time imagining a nerd managing to carry 44 to 84 lbs of anything in a backpack! :bugeye: That would require some level of physical fitness. :biggrin: Neat concept though. I wonder if the motion causes any chafing?

Interesting. I wonder if I could adapt a pack for the JAWS OF DEATH. That dog jumps around so much and never tires, it could probably generate enough power for the whole house.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
