Is aluminum the material of the future? If you accept the opinion of Alcoa CEO Klaus Kleinfeld, it is. During the next 50 years, demand will create an "aluminized world," he predicts, citing urbanization and the need for efficient transportation and infrastructure. Will aluminum be the key to fuel-e

i have an x-ray transformer from IMS Italian company, Model Energy 600, and now I want to replace the oil, because of defect. What should be the specification of the oil, and what should be the Minimum electrical strength of the oil.

FYI, we use up to 120 kV in the control unit.

What will happen if the polarity of a CT is reversed in one phase by mistake while replacing the same that meant for protection of a power transformer( say 33/3.3KV,4MVA) ?

Does anybody know how can i find some technical data of a car suspension such as dimension,weight,rate of spring,total roll stiffness,etc... ?
The type of car and suspension is not important.

I have recently loaded Windows 7 and as a result my internet connection drops with in 15 secs or less. I have tried different modems and drivers.

The modem dials in and connects properly and if there is data to move it will stay connected but the moment it has to wait the connection is lost. I unde

The Honda Accord Crosstour is a strange duck, and it's hard to know what to make of it. What is it trying to be? A poor man's Panamera? A dumbed-down SUV or a puffed-up hatchback? Its bulbous rear styling is arresting, to say the least: my little sister called the Crosstour "flying space ban

Two days back i thought of connecting solar energy with turbine so that the energy gained from solar plane transfered and turbine rotates and there excess or solar energy not at all wasted in any means even if solar cell is completely charged.

In this way during summer also we can make the turbine

Engineers and tech people know the benefits of using earplugs around noisy equipment to avoid hearing damage, and many use them at home and play. Others don't, which probably accounts for 50 million Americans that suffer from tinnitus. Loud noises — from not only machinery, but also earphones,
