The old generators had magnetic polarity. They had to be "polarized" with a big current surge to make sure they...
The 8008 1755
The original reason is twofold. First, the magnet material is brittle, and has a tendency to fly apart just when...
The 8008 1756
I wouldn't dismiss it so lightly. Electricity is difficult to store, especially as a transportation fuel. We're only now starting to figure out a better battery technology than the old standby of lead-acid...

We must expect short range prices in the range of $100-$250 a gallon for such fuel, or an untaxed pump price of $6-$15. This may come down...

So why did Jaworowski make the statement in 2004? Indeed it does state that. It confirms the existence of UHI. But UniMelb says that UHI...

I gave cites in the "earlier post". I'll try again. I A useful approach is to examine deep history with Antarctic ice cores and sediments. One informal answer, with references attached, is...
The 8008 1768
Ice and sediments are static? The last I heard, geology's theory was based on dynamics. Son, I don't need to read. Once upon a time, I took qual in college. I know a little bit...
The 8008 1769
Sorry, been away for the last two days. I'll try to summarize a few things here as my newsreader won't quote that last post I'm following up here anyway. OK, I'm not professionally...

There is a technical argument to using less energy. It simplifies all the designs, as energy density is one of the persons of reliable products. A plain engine IS...

The 8008 1784
No, they don't. The Lake Hula project is a long-term disaster, and a lot of other `reclaimation' involves bulldozing Arab olive groves to establish non-long-term-viable projects. Taking...
