This is pretty well known in the solar car community (I used to build those in engineering school). Only a handful of solar cars have ever run...
Non-ionizing radiation protection is about keeping the intensity at occupied positions below certain thresholds. You can do that by controlling...
There are a lot of very brilliant people working very hard at the moment to develop high-temperature superconductors that do not have to be...
For a pro yard, absolutely, you need to be realistic about where you can make a decent margin. Otherwise, you go broke. For the present purposes,...
I think that much is a given, Hoyt... keeping a folder of receipts is pretty much essential unless you like being heckled by tax collectors....
I am curious how other folks building their own boats handle the accounting for the project. (Home builders, not commercial yards.) Do you record...
The 5 psi rule is to ensure that a tank is strong enough to be safe (i.e. won't burst, won't leak) if things don't go according to plan. Perhaps a...
Jets tend to be optimized for ~25 to ~65 knots, and (speaking in very general terms) are usually outperformed by propellers below that range....
Mercury doesn't kill you outright until you get to rather large concentrations. In even trace amounts, though, it causes neurological damage. It...
The cowling and the aft profile of the midsection are pretty distinctive. Circa 1990, give or take 4-5 years. The design didn't change much during...
For a 5.7L or bigger motor, I'd pick the Bravo 1 or Bravo 3. I have seen 5.7s with Alphas but that's getting to be a bit of a stretch for a small,...
Procmon is a pretty sophisticated tool- it is not intuitive. See http://blogs.technet.com/b/markrussinovich/about.aspx for examples of how to use...
That depends on how much you know about sailboat design. If you know how to compute the centre of effort of a foil, the moment of inertia of a...
Here's mine: http://marsh-design.com/?q=category/boats/starwind-860 She's finally taking shape after far too many years stuck on the drawing board...
