but it does not go 30-40 miles per gallon vertically.

more oil isn't going to save the environment, and nobody is 'trying to find your password' and the chainpump is identical. lots of buckets in a chain rotated by an engine of some sort be it hand cranked, horse drawn or IC engine. you have not invented something new, it will not make oil wells produce more oil(current methods of increasing extraction from wells are generally not concerned with how it is brought to the surface as this is not the problem. there is a limited amount of oil in an oil field we can already extract nearly all of it, the reason we don't go after the rest is that it would take more energy than we'd get back from burning the oil.

you could argue that, but the cat(singular) was the leading cause of death among that species when he was introduced to the environment. he didn't just kill the last surviving member, he killed all but the few that died of old age.

then what?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_pump <yes your idea is completely new. not to mention it cannot be used on pressurized oil wells, which is to say, all of them. and what about off shore wells? a little thing we like to call seas and oceans means it is unworkable.

ydoaps are you pasting content from durationbot again?

yeah, whats going on here? if your design is some buckets on a loop for bringing oil to the surface then not only have you not invented anything new(such technology has existed since mesopotamia many millenia ago) but you have also not invented anything practical. using a pump works much better.

the only thing non-standard about this is that it distorted the magnetic field enough to be seen that far south. colour generation would be exactly the same as usual though.

most species that have went extinct existed long before we ever came on the scene. (see everything that lived longer than 2 million years ago) and there is one known species to have been completely eradicated by a single feline.

species usually dies off for a reason, they are not able to survive in the current environment. that environment includes us. the only reason i can think of for reviving a species is curiosity. and that assumes we have access to a welll preserved DNA sample which, for nearly all cases is not available.

Deko, have you ever heard of the paragraph? Walls of text like that are extremely difficult to read.

or it could just be so useless that it is overwhelmed by other effects. in the bear situation, being able to run 3 nanometers/second faster than the otherguy isn't going to help you much and whether you live and die is probably going to depend more on the wind or what you had for breakfast than the fact you can run slightly faster.

it's called water intoxication. its pretty dangerous as ther is a narrow window between it making you feel the effects of it and killing you. i haven't heard of it causibng halucinations though. it works by causing an electrolyte imbalance in your brain caused by excessive dilution. not a good situation.

yeah, he isn't making sense

no, all you'd need is a vitamin D supplement and you'd be fine.

yes, it does. but it is not comparable to dead grass. when you put plywood on the grass you eventually kill it(because it needs light to survive) humans do not need light to survive. when humans moved north(and it had nothing to do with japhet noah or the rest of them) the excess melanin humans had from originating in africa caused vitamin D deficiencies as the light was blocked by the melanin. those with lighter skin produced more vitamin D and were less likely to experience vitamin D deficiencies and hence fitter. global warming will not change skin colours as skin colour is not temperature dependant(if you look at the inuit, they can have significant amounts of melanin) but dependant on how much light you recieve. near the equater, it is direct light, at the poles it is light reflected from the snow makingit brighter than it would otherwise be.

you gotthe jist of it anyway. the current theory of evolution is called 'modern synthesis' or somthing along those lines. it cannot really be called a single theory though as its more of a group of related theories and how they interact.

natural selection is only a small part of modern evolutionary theory. darwins work is mostly obsolete now as we have dicovered phenomenon such as genetics.

this is generally how induction heaters work. they induce currents in the object or cruicible by means of electromagnetic fields which in turn generate heat from electrical resistance. wireless energy transfers also occur in radio(even if they are the plug in type) as the signal from the ariel is energy transfered from the transmitter to the reciever. solar panels are another way of transmitting energy wirelessly as you can use a spotlight or laser to function as a transmitter. and with modern techniques you can reasonably efficiently charge up a mobile phone though wires are still better efficiency wise.

you'd want to build these things in space rather than on earth. it would be much cheaper. we would have to consume everything in the solar system to encase the sun. as for power transimission, microwave beams are the favourite. they can be lasered and recievers can be highly efficient so energy losses can be kept to a minimum. internal transmission on a module would be done by superconductors prefferably. as for using stuff tesla came up with... no. people seem to have built tesla up into some sort of super genius with technology centuries ahead of todays. this was not the case, the stuff he played around with was pretty primitive and very inefficeint. not to mention his increasing insanity in later years where he was just flat out wrong about nearly everything. he was a genius to begin with and his good ideas have been utilised, adapted and improved. but there was a lot of crap that he produced that was discarded. some people seem to have assumed that ince he done such good work earlier, he was unable to do anything badly so all his craziness must have been true.

there's a lot of fraud in online degrees however, most univerisites have distance learning available as an option. i suggest you enroll in one of these programs from a real university as it is guaranteed to be legitimate.

Eric, personally, i think we just die and other humans either burn or bury our corpse and thats it. no after life no ghosts, nothing. you may have noticed this from the undertones of 'this is bloody ridiculous' in my post. i calculated potential ghost density purely out of curiosity.

i wouldn't call it depressing, and communication is perfectly possible, it just takes a longer time than usual. think of it as having a friend on the otherside of the world and you only communicate using letters and the postal system is still where it was in 1850. it's going to take months, maybe even a year for a reply to get back to you. thats a similar sort of scale.

if its not nuclear then its not to do with the bloody nuleus. thats what nuclear means incase you hadn't figured that out. there are three different radii that can be of interest. nuclear radii, which will vary with neutron count(obviously) covalent radii, which will not vary with neutron count and van der waals radii, which will also not vary with neutron count. you need to stop mixing and matching these things as they are incredibly different things.

no, what he wants do do is relate mass and frequency. by rearranging those two equations all you'd get is the equivalent mass of a photon of frequency f. this is nothing new, infact, i was taught this in highschool. the only elephant in the room is that you haven't actually discovered anything. this is basic qm. unless you mean something like the debroglie wavelength which is the wavelegnth of a moving particle but that depends on momentum not mass.
