I have a portable generator that I use for backup power at my home in case of a loss of power. I understand that the power from these generators is not clean because both the voltage and frequency are not very stable and this is bad for sensitive electronics and may even damage them. I am...

My Cuisinart drip coffee maker has a light that comes on, telling you to run it through a cleaning cycle (50/50 mix water/vinegar, rinse). In our previous home, we were on a well of about 750 ppm dissolved solids (including some iron), so I had an RO unit connected after the water softener to...

In Bernoulli's equation, you have static, dynamic, and hydrostatic pressures equal to a constant. In one sense, I'm wondering if the dynamic part of the equation explains this since -> Pressure = (1/2*rho*velocity^2) and pressure can be expressed as a force / unit area, therefore, an increase in...

Hello there, I am interested in renewable or clean or new energy sources. What branch of physics that I need to focus on in order to get a deep understanding on this? Also, what prerequisites do I need? p.s. I am a self taught student, so I don't have any academic advisor

If you search the net with the question: "Can clean energy replace fossil fuels?" then no clear answer is given. On the website https://blog.arcadia.com/top-7-questions-youve-asked-google-renewable-energy/ it is said: Yes! However, despite falling costs, wind and solar only produce a little...

Hello all , our PVD chamber experienced a water leakage from the cruible revoler area and unfortunately we are no longer able to achieve a stable Base pressure ( ~10e-6 mbar) We do not have the option of a bake out. Is there any other way to get rid of water in the chamber ? Ofcourse the water...

Found a blue water barrel at a thrift store. It is empty, no order but it held belcline 200 aka polymaliec acid. The barrell will be used to hold food scraps, dirt to make compost. How do i clean the barrel? Water? Or should i try and find another barrel Thanks

Assuming a completely clean and flat solid surface (metal and amorphous carbon as examples). The surrounding vacuum is contaminated with water vapour at very low pressure. In what orientation would the water molecules adsorb to the solid surface?

Greetings electro chemistry wizards! A quick speculation here... should be easy to sort out whether feasible. I have nice old pocket watch made of sterling silver that some numpty tried to fix with soft solder - lead & tin i presume but god knows when repair was attempted so it could be newer...

In dusty climates, do spiders (generally speaking) clean their webs of the dust? - or live with it? - or leave the old web and make a new one? In the southwestern USA, the ridges on exterior door molding and siding get covered with small dusty spider webs, each only a few inches long. It...

http://www.upworthy.com/a-dutch-boy-genius-said-he-could-get-the-ocean-to-clean-itself-turns-out-he-s-right This young Dutch inventor is set to solve a major ecological problem cleaning the great garbage patch in the ocean between Hawaii and California in a cost effective and possibly...

I was reading an article today about how Shell is discussing the move towards "cleaner" energy. This got me thinking. Eventually, most companies will be forced to move towards renewables as public opinion and natural resources become stacked against them. Many large oil and coal conglomerates...

Hello all. I'm pretty disorganised and not very clever so I thought I'd ask you all... If you charge an electric car from a power station run on fossil fuel is it cleaner than a petrol car? I'm wondering after looking at the energy loss in converting fossil fuel to electricity and then in...

Had been talking NSWRs on a spaceflight forum and a thought occurred to me. Lithium-6 fission can be triggered with relatively low-energy neutrons and releases 4.78 MeV, a helium-4 atom, and a tritium atom. Without a neutron flux, however, lithium-6 is completely stable. With a small...

quoting from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba about the "tsar bomb": To limit fallout, the third stage and possibly the second stage had a lead tamper instead of a uranium-238 fusion tamper (which greatly amplifies the reaction by fissioning uranium atoms with fast neutrons from the...

Say you wanted to run an induction motor from a battery without putting dirty harmonics into it. Would a really clean way to do it, to be by using a higher phase number inverter, then transformer, then into the motor? For instance, a 6 phase inverter, into a 6 phase to 3 phase transformer, then...

Drinking water systems imperiled by failing infrastructure http://news.yahoo.com/drinking-water-systems-imperiled-failing-infrastructure-140117243.html So, it appears that the Clean Water Act is not encouraging folks to maintain clean, or cleaner rivers. I don't think bottled water is the...

I'm not talking about caked on or burnt on brake dust due to years of neglect. I'm talking my car has 5000 miles on it and came out from an oil change with greasy brake dust all over my alloy wheels. I am not the type to scrub my wheels all weekend, so I want to nip this in the bud before it...

I have two authentic Gujarati Indian decorative cloths that need some cleaning. One has oil residue from being located in the kitchen, the other could use a cleaning all-together. I wonder, will I ruin the cloth or the embroidery by cleaning it? Here you can see an example of the elaborate...

Is there a good way to remove oil from fabric? My backpack is really oily right now. Luckily nothing inside it was badly soiled, but I'm not sure how to get the oil out of the backpack fibers itself. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I was cleaning up my computer room/office today, and I found a plastic bag on a shelf with 4 AAAs inside that had white corrosion all over them. I did some Googling and I am guessing the leakage was likely potassium hydroxide. The batteries must have been about 10 years old...

Hi all, I've been using Mathematica through my school for a couple of years, and I finally got my own license so I can work on my homework when I'm not connected to the campus network (we can run Mathematica on our laptops as long as we can remotely hook up to the server they host it on)...

Keeping books "clean" Do you guys/girls highlight, make marks, write notes, etc. on your books? I've found myself trying to keep my books as clean as possible. I guess cause some I consider part of my collection and some because I may want to sell them eventually. I was just curious. I know...

Hi, I am a junior in high school starting the college process. I want to go into engineering focusing on clean energy. For example, designing windmills or fuel cell engines. My dream job would be working for a company that builds clean energy plants. What major should I pursue? Are there any...

I'm just getting into physics and know that the entropy of the universe tends to a maximum. So in the long term stars burn out creating a lot of high entropy. However the left overs of dead stars - the dust and bits of left over radiation then can reform under the influence of gravity to...

I have been watching the coffee patina grow inside my carafe for years, it was a rich brown. Yesterday my wife looked inside and claimed to understand why our coffee was tasting muddy. She made me clean it back down to shiny stainless. So the question is, to clean or not to clean?

So, here's the situation: I'm a second-year engineering student at a not-exactly-prestigious school (Wright State University for the morbidly curious), and my current plan is to carry my education all the way through to a Master of Science in Renewable and Clean Energy. Do you really think...

How to show that a transverse intersection is clean, but not conversely?

Hey all! I'm trying to drive 5 speakers, each at a different preset frequency. I had been using the timer in my microcontroller to drive one, but it would get very messy to drive 5 simultaneously in software using just the 1 available timer. I've decided to drive each with a...

Hi Guys, I have a problem about the loss coefficient. Head loss = K * (v^2/2g) Where K is the loss coefficients. This equation is base on Darcy-Weisbach equation. I wonder how is K varies for same flow rate, same device with a different viscosity and density. Thanks a lots in...

I think this thing might work. It looks like it has a small opening that probably has a high potential electrode as the source of negative ions. They claim it will clean the air in a 100 square foot area...

Hello All, I'm normally over on the electronics forum, but recently I had a problem crop up regarding the spot welding of aluminum foil. I've seen the end results of the process, so I know it can be done cleanly. For that matter, I've seen pieces that predate laser welding, etc, so I'm...
