Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington discovered that they can stick electrodes in trees and operate electrical devices, such as a low-powered sensor. The power isn't much—only 200 mV per tree. Some skeptics think it's no more than the old potato trick, where electrodes react wit

Pressure Compensation for Secondary(Combustion) Air Flow in Boiler.
Is pressure compensation is required for mass flow measurement of secondary air in boiler?
The primary element is McOn Air (Promecon) sensor. McOn Air measures velocity of air in the duct. Thermocouples are available in the section for temperature compensation.
Mr M
can anyone recomend a good voltage reduction system or a good voltage stabilizing system for single and 3 phase ?

Americans Starting to Drive Less
Check out this graph published by The New York Times which charts the average miles driven per year vs. the average price of gasoline adjusted for inflation.
As the Times reports, "Until recently, Americans have driven more each year than the previous one, with a few brief exc
Genetic Hijacking Termed "Creating Life"
Once again, the press are running "life creation" claims on genetic research that hijacks a living cell to run their own DNA code. True, they have managed to run a completely synthetic genome and make it self-replicating, using the "life" of another organism to do so. Story here.

Zero A Capillary With a Meriam
I am trying to figure out how to zero a capillary x-mitter with my meriam 4100. I was able to adjust the zero trim, but I know that is not what I needed to do, I did it to help that vessel limp along for now. My range is -10.46 to -3.46. My zero was +7 when the flanged sensing elements were side b

Normalising of Clad Plate
A carbon steel plate (63mm thk) with 3mm stainless steel (316L) cladding is used to fabricate a vessel head. Can it be normalised after forming? Will it be damaging to the cladding? Will doing PWHT at 620 deg C instead of normalising be damaging too? The head has a chordal weld seam.
