    Energy in an ocean current vs energy in an air current

    I think it's low because of info found http://www.bluenergy.com/technology.html". To quote them: "Sea water is 832 times denser than air and a non-compressible medium, an 8 knot tidal current is the equivalent of a 390 km/hr wind."

    Energy in an ocean current vs energy in an air current

    This isn't actually a homework question, but it does relate to a research project I'm doing relating to wind/ocean turbines. What I'd like to be able to do is state that: There is as much energy in an ocean current moving at "X" knots as there is in an air current moving at "Y" kph. I tried...

    Did Felix Winker Really Invent the Wink and Patent It?

    It's difficult to say for sure whether this information is true or not without further research. However, it does sound like an interesting and humorous story. It's possible that Felix Winker did invent the wink and was able to patent it, but it's also possible that this is just a made-up story...

    Oil crisis: deja vu by any other name?

    The issue of oil prices and its potential impact on the economy is a topic that has been discussed for decades. The current upward trend in oil prices may certainly have some similarities to the oil crisis of the 1970s, but it is important to recognize that the circumstances surrounding the two...

    Tidal Forces/Fields: Analyzing N-Body Simulation Data

    Hi there, it sounds like you are on the right track with your analysis of the N-body simulation data. To calculate the tidal forces, you will need to use the gravitational potential and the directional second derivatives. These can be calculated using mathematical equations, as you mentioned...

    What's the melting point of a person?

    First and foremost, it is important to clarify that a person cannot physically melt like a solid substance such as ice or metal. The term "melting" in this context is often used metaphorically to describe the horrific and devastating effects of intense heat and fire on human bodies. That being...

    Is the WKB Approach Valid for High Mass Particles in Quantum Mechanics?

    The WKB approach is a powerful tool in quantum mechanics that allows us to approximate the solutions to the Schrödinger equation for high mass particles. This approach is based on the idea that for high mass particles, the de Broglie wavelength is very small and the wave function can be...

    Light Bending Effect in General Relativity: Understanding Gravitational Lensing

    Yes, the swift motion of your arm in your gedanken experiment would indeed cause a bending or "drag" effect on the laser beam, similar to how a gravitational field can bend light in general relativity. This is because, in both cases, the curvature of spacetime is influencing the path of the...

    Relativistic energy and matter

    The concept of relativistic energy and matter is a fundamental principle in the field of physics. It states that all physical laws and measurements are relative to the observer's frame of reference. This means that the perception of speed, time, and distance can vary for different observers...

    Violation of symmetry and conservation

    The concept of symmetry and conservation is a fundamental principle in physics that governs the behavior of forces and particles. It states that certain properties, such as energy, momentum, and electric charge, are conserved in all physical interactions. Violation of symmetry and conservation...

    Did Experienced Army Crew Misidentify a Meteor?

    While it is certainly possible that the crew misidentified a meteor or fireball, it seems unlikely given their extensive flight experience and the detailed description of the object they encountered. Furthermore, the fact that there have been numerous similar sightings suggests that there may be...
