Basically what I need is to figure out what motors I need for a design I am wanting to make for an electric motorcycle. I know that I want it to go around 60-70 mph, 60 could be the max speed if need be, for the motors to be able to move 700 lbs (which is crazy but my idea is crazy so I need it...

Hi, i am really new to scratch programming so I am having difficulties in interpreting how does this code work ? I understand the first block set a = 5. But i don't know what is that " Repeat 10 " block. What does it do? So really stuck at that "repeat 10" so haven't gone further.

Im new to electrical engineering and wanted to make an Armature from scratch, if anyone knows the parts or an estimated cost of the item that would be appreciated. Thank you.

Assuming you are in the field and don't have any device to weigh, measure volume, or measure time. How would one establish accurate measurements? Where does one start?

I recently encountered the Scratch programming language. I wonder what people think of it considering some notable (IMHO) shortfalls. I do not like the way it handles comments, the lack of returned values from "functions", and some other aspects that I think should be basic. But it does seem to...

I am learning driving. As a learner, I couldn't avoid two small scratches on one side of our car (a Toyota Etios Liva, about 3 years and 6 months old). The scratch on the door is about the length of your little finger on the hand, and the width is so small that you won't find it unless you go...

I have checked around 10 Solid State Physics and Condensed Matter textbooks, including the classic "Ashcroft and Mermin" and I've noticed that the "emissivity" of a solid is a totally neglected subject. This leaves me entirely knowledgless about how to compute the emissivity from scratch. I do...

If someone wanted to learn maths to a high level starting basically from scratch (knowing little more than basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) which order would you recommend that they learn things in? Is there a generally accepted/recommended order? I'm interested in...

I am planning to make a drone in near time. I have absolutely zero pre-requisite knowledge of the technical stuff and drone designs. I am going to start with a basic drone. Can somebody help me out as to how many types of drones are there, where should I commence etc?

Hello everyone, For those of you who are familiar with MATLAB and have worked with it in the past, I would like to hear from you guys about efficient and good ways to learn it from scratch. I would appreciate it if you can also specify websites, books, online courses or whatever it is that you...

This is my first try at building everything myself. Programming the G Code to cut the chassis on my old Linux computer took a bit of thinking...lol Here is a short video. A few photos so far. I will post the schematic when I finish it. Cheers, Billy

I wish to be able to create android and iphone games and apps but currently know nothing about programming. With this in mind, what do you suggest doing first in a form that you suggest the programming language i start learning first, textbook that i should use and program that i will write on...

Lets say we have a car with no engine, just a shell. We want to create an extremely efficient electric vehicle. If we have unlimited resources and man power how would you go about making this vehicle?

Need some kind of outline to learn math from beginner to an advanced level. Where should I start and how should I progress through the different subjects of mathematics? I want to be on a really advanced level in mathematics. Like a mathematics professor level/higher. Also, some book...

Hello all, firstly i would like to say thanks in advance for reading this thread and any advice given will be greatly appreciated. As you maybe guessed from the title i plan to learn physics and math pretty much from scratch and for the time being college/uni isn't an option. Here is a quick...

Hey Guys, I am currently a first year computer science student and I am taking discrete mathematics. After having done the logic portion of discrete, I wanted to learn more about logic so I went online and found Peter Smith's guide on learning logic. I followed his advice under "baby-logic" and...

hello I am looking for a step-by-step methodical way to learn maths from scratch up to 1st university year. I need a whole and complete self study method (eg. CDs, DVDs, websites, books, encyclopedias, etc), that won't require you to refer to other resources is there anything like this...

Hi all. I'm new here. My name is Tobias and I'm a danish resident. For a long time it has been on my mind to make a pressure cooker, since that I will be needing one in the near future for an agricultural project (a small mushroom farm in my apartment, which i plan on selling to...

We all know that hard materials scratch soft materials, and the effectiveness is related to the difference in their Moh's hardness level. My question is whether some minute amount of abrasion occurs on the harder material that is scratching the soft material? If so, is there any mathematical...

Hi, I apologize if you get this sort of question a lot. I left school at 16 and went straight into work and have worked for the last 7 years, the whole time my main hobby was science specifically physics, I absolutely loved reading about it and doing what I could related to it. I decided...

Hey everyone, I am trying to figure out how to do this, but I don't know where to start, can I use pressure, electricity, graphite, and pure hydrogen, do i need to melt the graphite, or maybe just dissolve it. I could use a little help, I know it may be cheaper to just buy it, but that defeats...

People have achieved injecting desired genetic code into bacteria. This is a big thing of course but it is far from creating life purely out of chemicals. Assuming 'life' to be the ability to interact with the environment for benefit and to reproduce, is it possible, at least theoretically, to...

Is it possible to learn web programming in a year without any previous experience and be able to build complex website? I mean not just simple home pages but sites with many functions like Facebook (Offcourse I don't mean the Facebook so big like it is today, but like it was when Zuck first...

I was parking my car into a rather narrow spot and in doing so, scraped just a little paint off of the side. I took it back to the Volkswagen service center and they told me that they won't just patch that small scratch up, but will have to spray paint the entire door so that the door looks...

Okay, so I am 20 years old, did terrible in high school mainly due to lack of motivation / not seeing the point. I left high school with grade 11 math and had a whopping 52. Three years later I discovered I like math and seriously want to get to an advanced level. I started taking some...

Take a look at the following problem: "A rubber band with initial length L has one end tied to a wall. At t = 0, the other end is pulled away from the wall at speed V (assume that the rubber band stretches uniformly). At the same time, an ant located at the end not attached to the wall...

I use a LOT of paper to do scratch work for school (math/physics especially). Instead of using so much paper, is there a digital version of paper where I can maybe use a stylus-type utencil as a digital writing tool for the "digital paper" and erase easily/prevent accidental erasures, maybe some...

Can anyone recommend a good calculus book that starts from the very beginning and also explains the theory behind differentiation and integration. If it were to go from HS to Freshman year that would be great! Thanks!

I decided to write my problem and attach as a separate document so that everything was included and would leave room here to discuss my problem. From what I understand from the equations is that for each value of u I calculate the value of the basis function for each basis function i. Then...

This is an attempt to settle a dinner table dispute. The background is that it just made the news that a guy won $1M in a scratch off game at the gas station at the end of my road. My brother then remarked: "Well, we know which station NOT to buy from. What are the chances of two winners at...

Hello, I'm in college, and my roomy is a very close friend who does Classical Philology and Philosophy and I, on the other hand, am completely passionate about physics and mathematics and we've agreed that I'd teach him about mathematics this year (for fun). He knows close to nothing, he's...

So a few years after school, I managed to forget most of what I learned in math class. I'm planning on reteaching myself from elementary arithmetic to calculus. I'm requesting a sequence of books to get me there. Looking for something rigorous, that actually explains why algorithms work, etc...

i basically don't know how to do pde's, so I'm learning it from scratch today for my test which is tomorrow (which is in 24hrs from now, for those who don't live in australia), and notes/the internet arent nearly as good as explaining things as people are. so how would i go by starting these...

whoops should have put this in academic guidance, my bad!

hey so i have basically decided that this is what i want to do with my life. i enrolled full time at a university and am attending class part time now as well 2 begginer psych courses and one bio course on basic brain function. (the guy spends most of the time on the cellular level of neurons...

I unfortunately know very little about science. The good news is that I have recently become very interested in it. Ok so, if we could pretend like I am an alien from another universe unlike ours, how would you suggest to begin studying? If you had to start over how would you learn it? Or...

Say you have a 1kg piece of metal (1kg EXACTLY) at an arbitrary, constant temperature. You make a scratch in it with a needle, and you do it carefully enough that you don't rub off any atoms off the metal onto the needle, that way you still have 1.00000000000000000000000000... kg of metal in...

I saw Dr. Oz yesterday. His guest suggested that graduate students in five years would be capable of synthesizing smallpox from scratch. I think he was exaggerating right? About 7 years ago it took 2 years to synthesize polio from it's 7000 nucleotide recipe and it was thousands of times less...

I've recently made a final decision that 'Programming' is the career path i wish to take. I've been playing around with Visual Basic for about a 6 months now and i wish to take it to a higher level. I've been reading online courses for C++ and watching video tutorials. This, i realize, is...
