  1. I am unaware of any telepotation of atoms. I thought the only teleportation was the attributes of sub-atomic particles.
  2. To make use of the hp of that engine (that is only available at a high rate of speed) you will have to gear it down. The amount of gearing is dependent on the RPM of the engine, The size of the tires and the speed at which you wish to walk. The gearing will transform the HP into torque that can be used at a walking speed. If your wheels are 12 inches in diameter and you want to walk at 2 mph: Each revolution of the wheel is 37.7 feet of travel To travel 1 mile they have to turn 140 times. That is 280 times to go 2 miles: so 280 RPH (revolutions per hour) is 2 miles per hour. 4.6 RPM = 2 mph If the engine is turning at 7000 RPM to get peak power then the engine will have to turn 1522 revolutions for each revolution of the wheels. A gear reduction of 1522:1 is necessary to use the engine for a walking tractor.
  3. As I understand Quantum teleportation it instantly transfers the characteristics of one particle to another - at any distance, essentially duplicating the first particle.
  4. E= MV^2 /2 M = ? if weight is .25 Lbs. Trying to convert pounts of weight to pounds of mass M = P x (G/2) ? Is that formula correct?
  5. The fact that women have more interconnections between the hemispheres of their brains than men do is a physical difference in the brains of men and women. To say that women can therefore think better in "parallel" than men or that men are more focused on a single task is a matter of conjecture. The truth is that we learn to think in the manner in which we are tho most successful. The physical body is developed as we grow and there are therefore women who are stronger than "most" men and men who are stronger than most men. How we develope and use our individual talents is more important than what we are given to work with by our genes.
  6. The become one bigger black hole - like when galaxies merge.
  7. OK, can you show an example that an old American can understand using pounds for weight?
  8. Can space/time be compared (in principal) to mass/energy?
  9. How is mass calculated from weight? Isn't it weght x (1/2 gravity)?
  10. Yes, I have backed up source code from most of my software but I somehow lost the source on two of my favorites. I have always tried to back up everything but over the course of twenty-five years and more than a few computers I have had just two losses. Not a bad record but It seems that I have lost two of my favorites. It doesn't look like I can use any of the decompilers that have been mentioned so I am going to have to rework the math for my new versions. Such is life. still, I am grateful for the help I have received here. thank you all, Paul
  11. I downloaded the REC 2.21 and will see how it works. I also downloaded BOOMERANG from a link on the front page REC site. Perhaps one of them will work. Thanks for the help, Paul
  12. Well, I was hoping that I could recover some of the formulas and math without having to do all the research again after 25 years. If that isn't likely to happen then I guess I will just do it the old fashioned way - work for it - again. Thank you for taking the time to answer, Paul
  13. Is there a freeware dissassembler with which I can disassemble and old program that I wrote to the source code? I have looked a bit but haven't found anything that will do it.
  14. Thanks Pangloss, I will need some tutoring and I may sign up for on-line classes - my back won't let me sit long enough to go to the community colleges. So, if any of you have some secrets about the C++ 2010 and where I can find libraries of the functions, header files and key words i would appreciate it. I am sure there are some that were kept through the ANSI changes but I rerally need those and the only book I found hasn't been released yet.
  15. Well, it has been 25 years since I wrote some of this software but I think the calls to the printer (text only) was via fprintf(stdprn,"xxx");(usually a string or pointer to a string) I may want to print graphs, pictures or diagrams and text. The software will need to be brought into the 21st century although the information probably won't change much - just the manner and form of output. I will dress it all up in nice windows instead of the shadow borders I used in the original. I still have the C code for most of the programs - one I will have to rewrite from the start but it needed to be updated back when I wrote it. I just hope I can find the sources of information again. (maybe I will find newer and better sources this time) Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged Pangloss, The programs ran in the XP dos window but without printout it was almost worthless. (partly poor planning when writing the programs - I didn't print all the information on the screen in two of the programs) I haven't looked for any DOS print spooler to adapt the software for windows - I think I would rather update the software as a learning process anyway. At my age it is important to keep learning!
  16. Thanks jryan, but my software was developed for DOS. XP still removes the control of the printer from the software. All applications have to hand the print job to the OS to access the printer. It is good in that you don't need to have a piece of software with drivers for all those different printers in it but at the same time it is hard on DOS programs because they don't talk to (nor even aware of) the OS that is running everything that is external to the processor. I have considered putting together a dedicated DOS computer but I am not sure I am up to doing it. All the techs I know never even heard of DOS. Then again that would just put an end to my educational growth - and that day will come soon enough.
  17. I am used to programming in C and C++ for DOS - I know it "old school" and i have run into the "Windows Wall". All my old programs can't access printers or most other periferals because of the Windows controls over them. So I will be re-writing (and updating) my old software so it is fully functional again. It all has to be windows software compatible so I can print things out. with the latest OSs that aren't DOS based I can't even run them. I was hoping to find equivalent software but there just isn't anything that comes close enough to do what I want / need. I guess I will learn what ever it takes to stumble through the GUI interface. I don't want to have to write all the code to keep Windows happy and the IDE will do that for me. (at least as far as I understand it) Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedHey, I want to thank you for helping this old man! It is too easy to forget that i am getting help from other people when I am on this computer and I am ashamed of myself fo not saying thank you earlier. All of you have been a big help so far and I may be back often to ask more questions. I am going to look into the videos and local classes to help bring me up-to-date with my skills. Again, Thank you all. Paul
  18. Thanks! I found it and it runs in a "dos" window. I don't think any programs written and compiled wi cl.exe would work in a windows environment. I guess I am going to have to learn how to use the gui development package. I will have to get some books I suppose. Can anyone recommend some books that cover the GUI and ANSI C++?
  19. I do mostly hobby programming - no net pages - so the standard IDE would work fine. I checked the site out and downloaded the c++ 2010 version and did some reading. They have finally standardized C++ so it is compatible accross OSs. That is great but can I use the "console based" programs in Windows or do I have to use the GUI based programs?
  20. The added hardness of a lead sulfate coating will neither endager the gun nor will it cause excessive wear. A small electical charge will speed the process - that is what happens on the battery post and terminals. The voltage drop across the junction is somewhat lower than .5 volts. The sulphuric acid is required to supply the needed sulfer and oxygen is needed. Is the reason for wanting a harder bullet due to barrel leading? You can use tin, antimony or silver added to the lead to harden the overall alloy. Tin and antimony are the cheapest (duh) and probably available through suppliers of your lead. If you have anyone who has a supply of lino-type you can add that to get your tin and antimony content. as always when changing any component reduce your loads and work back up incrementally while watching for signs of over-pressure.
  21. I am sorry, I forgot to add the version # that I have. It is version 6.0 Visual C++. I am reluctant to buy a new version because the cost isn't compatible with my hobby programming needs. If I have to get a newer version to produce software is there a good windows 7 compatible freeware alternative? (complete IDE)
  22. What is the momentum of a single photon? Is there a way to demonstrate the momentum? Say using a cylinder with a diameter of "D" filled with a gas of known mass/density with a height of say H=D/6. If photons from some source, that can be measured, are directed into the cylinder with the outside of the beam of light at the tangent of the inside edge in several places along the perimeter of the cylinder will it, over time, move the gas into circulation around the cylinder?
  23. Will MS Visual C++ IDE work in Windows 7? Do I have to run it in any compatibility mode?
  24. Ok, I don't think a remote field - no matter how strong it is - will affect a tv screen that is not in contact with it.
