Is Green Shale Gas Turning Black?
Shale gas is being heralded as the next best thing for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Pundits claim that converting electrical generation from coal to gas will cut emissions by a third. In the U.S., shale gas is also touted as a worthwhile solution to ever-increasing transportation needs and ris
Electromagnetic Field Collapse Principals.
Its been far too long since I had my electrical physics classes so I thought that I would ask around here for some info on what happens to the magnetic fields when a large iron core type electromagnet is turned off.
I am working on a large salvage yard crane electromagnet system and there are two v

Hi there
I'm new to this forum with one question.
Which grade S.S is suitable for sugar cane juice? a juice that may occasionally contain lemon juice and ginger. Lemon is very acidic (PH~2) whereas sugar cane juice itself is acidic. I've read a research article describing that the S.S juice is pow
HVAC Return Air Fan Coil Units
A single storey building in our project has many rooms. Each room has its own Fan Coil Unit mounted above the false ceiling whose 3 way valve is controlled by its own thermostat in the room. In other words, each room can be considered to be an independent zone, even though the temperatures of all ad
Vonax Polishing Compound
What is it made of? I can't find it's constituents on the internet, does anyone know?
I'm wondering about using it on my bows, I already use it on the horn nocks, but I want a natural product compatibe with beeswax. It certainly saves a lot of elbow grease.

Solar Heater
The solar heater work on the principle of accumulating heat by insulating conduction and convection loss.For which glass is used.heat loss through glass is prevented by repeated glass shielding.The solar Input of 1000watt per sq M is saved in the heater box and conveyed through air /water/oil circul
Is Manufacturing Going Nano?
The NanoManufacturing 2011 Conference and Exhibits just wrapped up last month, illustrating how innovative nano-based technology is making inroads into manufacturing. Carbon nanotubes offer many benefits as reinforcing materials, conductive materials, and high temperature lubricants. Have you used a
No Free Energy Lunch?
A controversial New Scientist article summarizes the thesis of a Max Planck Institute physicist who maintains that exploitation of free energy in wind and wave resources will have dire energy and climatic consequences. He concludes that there should be limits placed on the depletion of free energy r

Car Review: 2011 Acura MDX
First things first. Though it's packing 300 hp, the powerplant for the 2011 Acura MDX has a pretty heavily-laden landmass to move through the air, so the car felt a bit low on power. I was actually surprised to learn it was a 3.7L V6 when I popped the hood. It felt more like a 4, but the upsho
IMPLUX: Omni-Directional, Vertical Axis Wind Turbine for Urban Environments
From Gizmag:
When most people think of wind power they think of large-scale wind farms with fields of huge three-bladed horizontal axis turbines. With such farms requiring lots of room they are generally unsuitable for placement in or even near large cities. Smaller turbines tailored for
Strong, Tough and Now Cheap: New Way to Process Metallic Glass
