Three years in the making, an ammunition app provides all kinds of info on new ammunition, inspection, and training via virtual reality. Since Army personnel can't haul around manuals in the field, it makes sense. What other apps do you think would be useful for smartphone access?

We previously took a look at another Mercedes-Benz in the Class of 1986, the 560SL, a new car for that year, though one based on an aged chassis. In the same year, Mercedes-Benz also introduced another new car, but this one entirely new: the 300E.

Based on the W124 chassis, the 300E brought t

The concept of cloud computing has attracted the attention of a growing number of companies. But Amazon's recent problems with its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service — perhaps the leading cloud offering — took many third-party Internet companies that depended on the service off-line. Do

Though NASA holds the keys to some of the most sophisticated technologies ever to make it into low Earth orbit, the spacesuits that astronauts wear up there are still in many ways similar to those worn during the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s. Fortunately f

Ahh, Legos - those wonderful colored bricks, blocks and plastic pieces created by Ole Kirk Christiansen in Denmark all those moons ago that seem to inspire creativity and make the best toys ever created. Incredible as the official Lego sets are (i.e. Burj Khalifa), the best c

As computers, data centers and mobile devices become more powerful, their energy requirements are likewise generally increasing. Possible solutions to the problem include power-saving sleep modes, devices that keep computers from drawing a current when supposedly turned off,

In this episode, Chris Duke of Motorz TV shows you how to install a nitrous oxide kit on a 2008 Ford Mustang GT (S197). This wet kit from Nitrous Express includes everything you'll need under the hood, including the switches, bottle, bottle heater, and even a remote bottle opener. Chris also exp

Been diggin around and it seems there are several here that seem to know thier stuff, so I have a LED Voltage/Current question.

I've built an RC Boat and I am using 5 LED yard lights as q-beams on it. The yard lights were originally powered by 3 AA Ni-Mh under a solar cell charge. During temp const

On my Windows 7 laptop I want to use two networks, one via Wifi, and one via Bluetooth. The local network (wifi) I connect to I use for printing, and has no internet access, where the bluetooth connection to my phone does. The problem is when both networks are connected at the same time, the laptop

Hello,

I am a high school student, and the team capitan of a high school robotics group. We are building an underwater robot to compete in the MATE International ROV Competition, against other high school and also college teams. For our robot, we want to construct some better thrusters than those w

I'm using a gear-motor with the following specs:

3-phase, 200v to 220v, 0.2Kw (200 watt), 28 rpm, 50-60 Hz, Amp 1.1 to 1.2, continuous, 4 poles.

What should be the U.F and volt of the capacitor to be used with this motor?

current capacitor is of 12UF and continuous but the number of volt is not p

6 Sealed 6V-4.5AH Lead-Calcium Batteries in series (think exit sign cells).

36V charger used to charge the array.

Batteries are used to test devices at 12V, 18V, 24V & 36V .

1. Assume that the testing was just 12V and two of the batteries were used without rotation. Can these two batteries lo

Anyone aware of a non-invasive method of obtaining true BP? Traditional methods (arm cuff) assume the artery is perfectly elastic, and therefore any hardening of the artery will give BP higher than true. And most of us will have some hardening.

My anodizer tried to black anodize some die-cast AA380 for me and it turned out light grey. Now he says it can't be done and I'll have to strip the grey, repolish the aluminum and do something else. Is he correct? Or is there a technique to rescue this piece and get a black anodized finish?

Hi

I have an application in which flow needs to be measured on 2"line.Following are the conditions

1)The Flowmeter needs to installed on an MEG injection line to Subsea.So there is a chance of back flow(oil and gas) from subsea .So the flowmeter needs to measure the backflow of both oil and gas fr

American Sensor Technologies, Inc. (AST) has enhanced its AST4600 and AST46HA Series of Explosion Proof Pressure Transmitters with new pressure ranges, materials and options.

The pressure transmitter upgrades enable AST to better address customer demands and applications in a variety of industries.

Have you heard the latest rumor that's buzzing out of thin air about the next-generation Corvette? Citing unspecified whistle-blowers such as "a very senior GM executive" and "several well-placed sources," The Detroit Bureau claims that the C7 will be getting a small-displacement, overhead-cam

World leaders of arctic nations are gathering in Greenland to discuss global warming, but also the future of industrial opportunities such as oil and mineral exploration, fishing, and transportation. Can these governments strike the right balance between economic and environmental concerns? And, can
