Yes.

Hi. Your emphasis in electromechanical (not same as electromagnetic) led me to question if piezoelectric relays exist. Seems yes. Or make-design your own. Check U.S. patent 3,430,020. I did not read it all myself. A second way that comes to my mind and may or not fit your needs could be a shallow rotary shaft/cam and contact points as in automotive distributor. Will be also electromechanical. Brushes on a multi segmented rotor is another way you can explore if feel like applicable. [Trying to respect your guideline on not using very low resistance mosfets as the modern industry standard switching method]

I have no knowledge on fashion trends prominent personalities usually care about;Is there a correct length for a neck tie, can you sit on it ?

Hi. The synonyms of theory shown here ----> http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/theory smell like theories are somewhat distant from facts. With so many followers of the theory of relativity being a sure factual proven thing; why is it still called 'theory' ? ----> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity

Or go bankrupt, losing the bet.

Or is it an elaborated scam ? Does charism play any role with hypnosis ? Can relevant historical events as from charismatic leaders change/re-route behavior and beliefs of populations permanently ? When young, witnessed a serious relative hypnotizing someone. Still in my retina. But always kept an 'agnostic' feeling. If there is science; a perfect replication of the hypnotizing 'process' should always work... Could then a 'machine' as a computer program do it consistently ?

Thanks. Would it still be abnormally formal if the intended meaning is "Mom, allow us to ride the train" ?
-
Hi. The written phrases "Mom, let us ride on the train" and "Mom, let's ride on the train" Have the same meaning or not ?

I did not understand peanuts. Scuba diver since 1972, all dives have been full, going down, spearfishing and rising up; none incomplete, never in bed unless dreaming of a dive, and my scuba cave diving helmet I have has no brain probes. -Better use other terminology-

For teenagers, chances are eating anything will keep the shape at the same time. Now find out what/why differs in the forties...

- Can the carbohydrate content in foods be altered or destroyed by some type of process ? - What is proteinine ? I have the feeling of learning years ago, that is overcooked/overheated protein, that has changed its characteristics. Can you confirm ? Is there another name for such ?

What would you make a 24 hour perfect meal with, (simple common ingredients, nothing fancy) for the average 70Kg? person on average 21st century activity, to hopefully not pack any belly fat, not feel hungry, not lacking anything necessary nor recommended ? -Ignore if eating the same daily is boring, this is not about pleasant flavor, is about pure nutrition- Such same meal to be consumed in several portions along 24 hours. Guessy example: Two litres of chicken soup, containing 100 grams of boneless chicken, 50 grams of cheese, 100 grams of vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, peas, corn, potatoes, yams, greens, rice... Would such guess work ? Now, do your proposal with science. Hundreds pushed/claimed by dieticians on the web, but make your own. NASA for sure has its own recipe. ==================== In the 'General' paragraph here ----> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starvation_response Kcal are mentioned. Is that really kcal or cal. ?

With downsizing of meals, that I consider as manageable; there is another hurdle I read somewhere long ago : 'The body goes into packing reserve fat when there is less food intake in genetic? prevention of starvation'. Can anyone confirm such 'study' am quite certaint to have read ? Same as : 'The body goes into packing reserve fat when there is abundance of food intake in prevention of future scarcity'. Which collide. All science for belly fat reduction and fine tuning was inexistant thousands of years ago, and suppose obesity was very rare then. And both times of plenty and scarcity for sure existed. There has to be a key to the subject.

Thanks, gentlemen. Seems a consensus that two factors would have to be addressed to keep a lean belly. - Quantity of food -manageable. - Type of food. -Harder in the 21st century with the mind of too many into pleasure, comfort, lazyness. If it is not of great taste, won't be eaten even by hungry ones. Seen people tossing perfectly nutritious food to the garbage can because was wrongly prepared and did not fit their taste buds. A measured portion of the correct food fine tuned to the amount of activity then, could keep a lean belly. That is what I believe hundreds of diet plans promote, and none appears to work to satisfaction. I say none because otherwise, everyone would be into that plan that does not show up yet. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors did have the right recipe, but got lost in time. Sugars turn to fat. Starches turn to fat. Fat turns to stored fat or is it burned right away ? Are proteins the ones that do not turn to fatty tissue ? Is gene manipulation the hope to be leaner and live longer ?

Third commandment... "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain" So is he lord, god, or something else ? Does the common daily Oh! my god ! fits right in becoming a mortal sin to say ?
-
¿? -- Is it wrong to say... - By nature, animals and we humans store energy in times of bonanza to help ensure survival in times of scarcity and that process is embedded in genetics. It happens when there is abundance of food, bellies grow and life can be sustained longer. - Health professionals and science assures being overweight shortens lives. * How come these are in straight collision paths ? Nature promoting at the same time survival and earlier death ? Is there a gene fault to immediately get rid of stored fat in times food intake becomes plentiful ? *Seems true, you do not see fat people in their seventies and eigthies. Fat ones are already dead by then.

-Please move to 'speculations' if deserved- Can you foresee the magnitude of general public chaos in the U.S.A. if the metric international system was mandated ? Together with the kilogram, Celsius, litre, Newton... No more fluid ounces, tablespoons, miles, bushels, gallons, pounds, Farenheit, horsepower, feet, inches, acres, mils, 2"x4" that are not, BTUs,... On a one-year term to convert ? I just smile when hear ..."half pound hamburger has 16 grams of fat"... Lucky some things are already turned with medicines, imported products, the Volt is already here to stay. What is your perception in the subject ?

What unit of measure was used when the distance from the pole to the equator was being measured to later define the metre ?
-
Thanks, gentlemen. From Thorlabs, seems this should work similar as the mentioned Newport. About Wratten... Would they work for laser blocking ? About not letting a wavelenght to pass trough... Is it reflected or absorbed into heat by the filter, or there is both types ?
-
Thanks, StringJunky. The links provided are mostly for passing specific wavelengths/bands, as far as my poor understanding. I bought chinese goggles once and were shit. So I want to learn first the (standing) questions on the original post, and then try good stuff or make my own inspection window that will fully block 350nm to 450nm and let pass 500nm to 800nm, for a laser that is composed of high power violet and low power red merged beams, to be able to aim/see a target with low power red and block high power violet. A little better seems to be picking 6. "2E" at the left column, shows the response, at ----> http://www.newportglass.com/kdkcat.htm

Hi. Is it called the same in the filter industry: 'filter' ; and there is need to specify blocking or passing for a particular wavelength ? Example; am after a filter that will not pass wavelenght of 450nm and lower. Should I say 450nm and lower wavelenght blocking filter, or 450nm and above wavelenght passing filter ? Are Wratten filters waterproof ? If I choose a Wratten #4, does it mean it will be gelatin or should I specify glass ? If glass, does it mean there is a layer on its surface, or the glass material itself is dyed-embedded with the filtering properties ? Are Wratten filters useable, better or worse to make laser blocking protection goggles ? Is it possible to merge in the same beam, a red laser and a violet laser by use of a prism or something ?

Tough clear plastic film recommendations, please ?
Externet replied to Externet's topic in Engineering
Thanks, gentlemen. If I can find clear PET film, would that be suitable ? Random pictures : ----> http://www.builditsolarblog.com/2010/09/nicely-done-pipe-coil-style-solar-pool.html ----> http://media.treehugger.com/assets/images/2012/06/how-make-solar-spa-heater-1.jpg.644x0_q100_crop-smart.jpg ----> http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7x5Njd5SutY/TIuXZFrD3cI/AAAAAAAAANY/T-pzYHgOjqg/s1600/TuscanyPoolHeater1.JPG -
Hi. What tough 'clear-to-heat' plastic film permanently exposed to sun, rain, wind (no snow) would you suggest ? Something similar to polyethylene. It is to cover a coil of black HDPE as for a solar water heater, shielding it from cooling winds and letting sun heat pass trough ? A life of 5+ year would be desirable. Greenhouse cover or there is something better ? A coil similar to this attachment, placed on top of a suitable heat insulating polyestyrene foam sheet, and covered by such film instead of glass or polycarbonate sheets.

Greetings. We and science are stuck with the stupid heritage of 1 day = 24 hours; x 60 = 1440 minutes; x 60 = 86400 seconds. Now translated to Cesium vibrations... Has there been ever an attempt to reform the units, to something like 1 day = 100 'ruoh'; x 100 = 10000 'etunim'; x100 = 1000000 'dnoces' ( just to rename units ) 1 day = 1 million 'dnoces' or 1 Mdnoces (megadnoces) instead; 1 dnoces = 1 microday Or anyhow in the decimal system that would make more sense ? If humans ever populate another planet, will the senseless second be carried there or that own planet rotation as base should be considered ? It would be a total science chaos to choose a different time unit today, yes. Too late for that. Before the first clock was invented centuries ago and someone decided to split its dial in 12 sections, not 10, not 100; how was time told ? Like noon; a while after sunset; a while and a half before sunrise ?
