Discover the Power of Optic Solar Reflectors | Online Literature Recommendation

AI Thread Summary
Optic solar reflectors (OSRs) are specialized devices used in satellites for thermal control, often referred to as second surface mirrors. The discussion highlights a request for online literature on this specific technology. Participants express confusion over the terminology, with one acknowledging a lack of knowledge about OSRs. Clarification is sought regarding whether the inquiry pertains to parabolic solar collectors or another type of reflector. The conversation emphasizes the need for more information on OSRs and relevant resources.

Hellooo Friends

Tell me what is optic solar reflector. Recommend me online literature
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Your question is sort of vague. Almost all solar reflectors are optical. Are you referring to parabolic solar collectors?
 
I am asking about OSR(optic solar reflector ) used in satellites for thermal control.I think it is also called second surface mirror
 
Ahhh... I hadn't run across that term before. Sorry. I know nothing about it.
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
