Actually for most electric motors, the torque peaks at 0 rpm.
Don't get me confused with someone into "big oil" but isn't saying that its peak torque is when it isn't doing anything the same as saying "it doesn't work?"
Now, now, lets not go bashing the French... I'm told they were "very" grateful to our soldiers after they liberated them. Well..., all except that surprisingly large group that took up German bedroom toys. But, well won't talk about them...
It could *EASILY* turn out that Pickens is just another participant in the public relations campaign that big oil is putting on to convince Americans that big oil isn't out to get them.
Actually I'm not so certain on that. If memory serves, Pickens was a corporate raider that spend his days pissing off the oil industry for fun and profit. Currently Pickens also has plans for turning water into the next great commodity market. He's already gobbled up tens of thousands of acres of Texas land for the purpose of eventually selling water from the aquifer beneath to water starved cities nearby. The guy just likes money. It probably doesn't matter what natural resource he exploits to acquire it.
I'd second the Dragonlance nomination for the fantasy catagory. Those books are great, and an easy enough read for pre-teens.
For sci-fi I suspect most parents would not think Snowcrash nor Cryptonomicon would be age appropriate. However, Tad Williams has a four book series called "Otherland." It'd be a bit more of a challenge for a pre-teen reader than Dragonlance but should still be a good fit and a fun read.
Engineer: Because I can.
Businessman: Because people want it.
Just in case you were wondering why businessmen run the world. Yeah. I remember all the protests in the streets of people marching to demand DRM...
Hell yes I demanded DRM! I also lobbied for:
$100/MB for text data transfers on my cell phone
Random TCP/IP packet dropping while using the Internet
29% interest rate credit cards with a $50 monthly fee sneezing
Daily phone calls giving me my final notice regarding my car's warranty expiration
Leg room reductions on air planes
Third world data-networks that outshine the U.S.
Corn syrup
No talent music artists
The cancellation of various Star Trek series as well as Firefly
60+ years of the same crappy technology in automobiles
Windows Vista
Jar Jar Binks
...
Not only that but I donate regularly to the MPAA and RIAA warchest. And I will not rest until Exxon Mobil gets the rights to rape the Arctic and every other endangered environment for every last drop of oil on the planet to power my fleet of Ford Excursions and Winnebagos.
The middle section which you refer to as a "key" reminds me of ASCII drawing characters. I just finished up finals today--and running on near zero sleep--so perhaps I'm simply seeing things but perhaps it's a coding for some sort of schematic.
I'm not familiar with the particulars of your ultralight, but most personal aircraft (FAA certified) have engines in them that were originally designed nearly half a century ago and have had very minimal updates to them. It is a small wonder that a 120HP plane engine burns several gallons of fuel per hour and a modern 120HP car engine comparatively sips it. The fact that the Terrafugia burns super unleaded rather than aviation fuel suggests it isn't likely to be powered by an old-school engine.
Oh thank God, I was afraid I was the only one that immediately pictured a bunch of Laotian refugees stowing away in the ballast tanks. I know our government isn't above doing such things, but jeez that would have been harsh...
Actually the chief problem as I see it is the organization that has made it so near impossible to develop personal aircraft in the first place. The FAA has tailored all regulations to suit Boeing and kin who have the fat wallets and their similarly financed customers. Most Cessna pilots use $10 stop watches mounted to their yoke. Why would anyone do something that sounds so stupid? Because the $400+ FAA certified flight clock found in Cessnas like the plane itself was developed in the 50's and 60's is off by minutes per day and the cheap, made in China stop watch will run for months and still keep near perfect time. There hasn't been any real innovation and development in personal aircraft outside of the FAA experimental category in nearly half a century. You still have to control your own air/fuel mix because there aren't any modern "FAA certified" fuel injection systems. It simply costs too much to jump through the hoops. If it wasn't for the FAA that new plane that typically costs as much as a house to purchase would be as cheap if not cheaper than the average passenger car.
I also don't buy the "people are too dumb for 3D" argument either. Most pilots will tell you that learning to fly a small plane is easier than driving a car.
Here in the Twin Cities, these cameras were shut down by a judge on the grounds of the impossibility to prove who actually was driving the vehicle. They were actually forced to pay the motorists cited back the amount of the fines. Food for thought if there are some people who are not IANAL reading this.
I remember this one. I guess this guy helped his little daughter get the patent. At the time everyone thought it was cute, now it stands as yet another example of patent stupidity.
1) " Psychologists Don't Know Math" is a rather inflammatory, inaccurate, braindead headline, even by local standards.
Are you certain? Has anyone ever done a statistical analysis on the math proficiencies of psychologists? I know that if I wasn't adept at math I'd be more inclined toward the "soft" sciences...
DTV ready labeling isn't necessarily a sham. That would be something like Microsoft claiming that Vista is new and improved in a comparison with XP. There are a bloody lot of technologically impaired individuals that will be bothering sales people and the like with questions about whether or not this or that antenna, TV, fork, spatula, what have you will work when the analog broadcasts go dark. Sticking a DTV ready label on the box helps the sales people maintain their sanity for just a bit longer. If those companies manage to snag a few bright bulbs with their label such that they cause them to replace their non-DTV ready antenna with a DTV ready one then more power to them. If it weren't for such people the nation's GDP would be slashed in half...
It might work for Star Trek but I don't really see dynamic touch screen interfaces working out for anyone that needs to do rapid text entry. I don't care how fast kids can enter text messages into their iPhones or similar devices with out definite feedback cues indicating where our fingers are we'll be forced to revert to looking at our hands as we type. You'll never pull 60+ WPM that way.
I also suspect that with out the "shock absorber" effect of traditional keyboards there's going to be far more repetitive stress injuries.

Don't underestimate the power of a cute penguin for a mascot. All objections were promptly halted when my wife saw the Tux boot splash.

I found a better "TFA" than a lame Reuters vid. There's actually a few more details about the system.
It may be related to a 2005 discovery published in the Scientfic American that combine organosilanes with water in the presence of a rhenium based catalyst to produce hydrogen.
Here's what they used in 1998... A Wikipedia article explains a bit of what they're doing now...
