From 9pm to 6am the batteries are 'impounded' and wind power could not be used to charge them.
So at night use wind power and the trickle of power from the parking lot lighting...to put an electrostatic charge on the surface of the car (look, Ma, no Leyden jar!). Discharge it into the batteries in the morning.
Can you go help out the Diebold voting machine examiners? Their research seems to be focused on guessing the meanings of file names, and they may need your assistance.
Why don't they put GPS devices on the ducks so they can track their paths the whole way?
If they caught all the ducks so they could instrument them...they should, and would, keep them and remove that debris.
Scientists already have floating instruments (some drift under the surface) which are measuring currents. The identifiable debris is just an accidental addition to such information.
You keep changing the batteries on those things.
Don't forget a transmitter on each duck. More power needed. Or else you have to find them so you can find out where they went, and that is difficult if you don't know where they are.
If it falls off a ship and sinks, it's not pollution. It is litter on the ocean floor.
If it falls off a ship and the entire sealed container floats, it is not pollution. It is an oddly shaped rock of low density with a high iron content on its surface. It is a hazard to navigation.
If it breaks open, whether on the ocean floor, or due to impact, rust, or people breaking it open on a beach, then the "pollution" inside is released. If it's something that sinks then that becomes litter wherever it lands. If it is something that contaminates water then it becomes pollution, although that depends upon your definition of "contamination".
If it's a container full of gold and people have broken it open on a beach -- it will be cleaned up pretty quickly.
I did in fact read the article first. The entire point of my post was that instead of arguing beforehand if it'll work, they ought to build it and then see if the current theories do infact hold water.
I believe that if you give me a new Mercedes, you will be rich.
Don't argue beforehand if it will work, just do it so we can see if that theory does hold water.
You mean there's something other than my Super-8 films of the TV screen when Star Trek was oh-so-briefly on the air? Did someone film it in 16mm or kinescope?
I have heard mention of "The Next Generation", isn't that a DVD copy of the Star Trek series? And I don't know why DS9 is mentioned so much, 9mm is only 10% wider than my 8mm film.
You mean "put RFID on a tag or packaging which is removed by the consumer". But an advantage of RFID is that the devices can be installed during manufacture, such as by being sewn into a seam, and then used during the rest of manufacturing and throughout the distribution system. Putting in labels or packaging is too late.
Many items are manufactured in one country, labeled in one language in another country, and packaged in a third country where it will be sold. Such as a shirt made someplace in the world, labeled in English in a former British colony for sale to English-speaking areas, and packaged in the USA in a way which meets current laws (nutritional value of the shirt, pollution released when decomposed or incinerated, washing instructions for this year's 3 largest washing machine manufacturers, energy requirements to keep you warm or cool when wearing this shirt, and warnings that this shirt does not fasten itself, should not be used to save a drowning person, can not safely tow a car, may rip at an inconvenient time, should not be worn near machinery including an automobile, and is not suitable for mailing without proper packaging).
Photons carry momentum. Photon is turned through 180 degrees. Surely momentum is reflected through 180 degrees.
Well... do photons carry momentum? Gold is saying that he is quite unsure that momentum is reflected. Or that it must be reflected perfectly, so the photon applies no push during the bounce.
There are several problems pointed out in the Gold paper.
If momentum is transferred during reflection, then when the photon is absorbed all of its momentum would be exerted upon the mirror, but when the photon is reemitted that same amount of momentum would again be exerted on the mirror. The photon arrives at velocity c, causing twice the amount of momentum which it arrived with? That doesn't sound right. As someone else pointed out, a perpetual motion machine would be two mirrors pointed at each other with the light bouncing back and forth delivering the same momentum (twice!) each time.
He also points out that the Newtonian formula for kinetic energy, 1/2(M * v^2), requires a different energy level than that for conservation of momentum of radiation: Mvc. As "v" can never exceed "c", obviously the first can never equal the latter due to the different velocities and the 1/2 factor. It is difficult for photons to accelerate an object to two different velocities simultaneously. (And if that happens, then the object should be in two places at the same time -- what is the space between those two places now like?)

One can either photograph a hand pushing virtual buttons where a gearshift lever would be, or actually put buttons there to be pushed. Including if there is a gearshift lever already there -- put buttons on the lever.
If a solar sail does not work at all, it really won't matter how well it does not work for exploring the inner planets nor how well it does not work for exploring the outer planets.
Gold's point is that a solar sail can't work by merely being hit by radiation. Reflection can't provide momentum, and absorption will only work for seconds on a thin sheet.
When you touch metal it tends to feel cool, because it conducts heat well enough that it is moving heat out and away from your skin. Having a thick piece of metal to carry the heat to something big and cool can help.
Then it's a matter of whether anything big and cool exists nearby. Do your water pipes feel cool? Is your building built of wood or concrete, and does concrete or the floor feel cool?
Or do you have some steel shelves and do they feel cool?
I suppose you could dig a hole 20 or 30 feet down. Cooler down there. Just don't go a mile or two down, where instead it gets warmer.
As others pointed out, you can use oil or water circulating to transfer heat. There also are "heat pipes" which are sealed metal tubes with a liquid or gas which easily moves heat.
The most certain solution is to run a heat pipe or circulating liquid from your machine to the inside of the refrigerator.
Yes, I pointed spam out to Hormel when it was beginning. They said there was no problem because there was no confusion and gave me a lovely SPAM watch. But the SPAM watch was much too crunchy in my sandwich.

But getting the results is awkward. Their ventilation ducts are not large enough for the crowd in there.

As usual, the Solar Race winner, which traversed the course, in a single day is Sol.
You think these things grow on trees?
Which kind of time is renewable?
Gasoline is a renewable resource. It just takes a long time for a specific carbon atom to be subducted under the crust and emerge again.
Give me $6,000 and I think I can find some epoxy.

You spelled ".SIG" incorrectly.
That's the proper presentation for the topic.
"Felgercarb"? On the show it was pronounced as "Feldercarb". That must be a soft "g", as in "genius".
I have heard mention of "The Next Generation", isn't that a DVD copy of the Star Trek series? And I don't know why DS9 is mentioned so much, 9mm is only 10% wider than my 8mm film.

They use their tongue.

That is true only when the solar sail is on the surface of the sun. Fortunately noon in summertime here on Earth does not reach 5000K often.
One can either photograph a hand pushing virtual buttons where a gearshift lever would be, or actually put buttons there to be pushed. Including if there is a gearshift lever already there -- put buttons on the lever.
That whirlygig is mentioned. Look in Gold's paper for "Crookes' radiometer".

Apparently someone is more concerned about how to use it than being properly impressed by its size.
Oops, I forgot there is another strange electromagnetic radiation there: the South Magnetic Pole.
