Questions about dark matter

Can dark matter form a black hole, as regular matter can?

If so,would there be a detectable difference (from our reference point) between the two types of black holes?

And would the singularity at the center of the DM black hole not interact with regular matter, except gravitationally?

TurboBattCap

I have a 'BrainStorm Idea' here to share for the 'Electric Cars' industry in general (Tansportation Craft Vehicles-Boats-Planes-Etc.) which will allow for much longer distances coverage before recharges stops and minimizing downtime exponentially. As Follow:

Low cost Gyro stabilization

I wish to develop a compact and portable, low budget, gyro stabilized mount for use with telescopes that weigh less than 15 pounds.

Tripods and other types of mounts that are light and compact enough to be portable do not have the mass properties and rigidity necessary to support high magnifica

seawater make-up cooling tower

In a project we intend to use a cooling tower with sewater make up. But we have concerns about salt emission to atmosphere -from the point of corrosion effect- and also salt emission to sea - from the point of environment-.

Can anybody share their experience about seawater make up cooling tower

VFD ESP application

Greetings,

I have a question about running an esp motor off a vfd. My output frequency and motor speed are never the same, is this normal, if so why? If I tune the drive to rated motor speed(3450), my output frequency is 3450, but my motor speed is lower. The drive is a Yaskawa F7. Any resp

Current protection

Hi all, hope you can help,

I have an incoming supply of 2 x 160A TP&N MCCB it supplies an external bypass unit which contains 2No 200A TP&N MCCB's, from there it supplies a 2 x 30KvA UPS via 160A Fuses, the output of the UPS returns to external bypass switch via another 200A TP&N MC

Base Apparent Power in a Per-Unit System (Sbase)

I'm studying for the electrical PE exam in Power. In my study book, one of the example problems is looking for the short circuit current and states (and I quote) "Using an arbitrary base of 100MVA for Sbase..."

When studying sample questions from the NCEES, the same type problem came up, an
