An osmotic membrane takes 1000 psigauge on the inlet side, and atmospheric pressure at its outlet side to perform its work. If the same osmotic membrane is left at atmospheric pressure at the inlet side; how many inches of mercury should be applied at the outlet to perform equally ?

Inverting a channel is a third of the process; first you filter out the vocal spectrum and then you have to add left + inverted right. And will not work that well if the voice in both channels has different tonality or marked amplitude differences. If the music portion is similar in both channels, results will be worse. The best attempt is with voice equally present in both channels and music well stereo separated. A differential amplifier is the proper circuit to do it. Voice + music left -(voice + music right) - some voice spectrum --->~ some music + little voice.

Attach your metal pieces to be attracted to a string as a pendulum and you will notice they do move at some distance. The force of attraction is much greater in close proximity as the formula has squared distance in the denominator, and when they come into contact the distance is near zero. A longer electromagnet will show a better response to your experiment as the distance upon contact will not be that small.

The human blood absorbs more nitrogen at higher air pressures causing several adverse effects. The high andean natives's blood captures triple oxigen amounts breathing, it is something they developed trough generations to counteract the thinner atmosphere. As a guess, would take a loooong time to evolve in a similar way to battle the effects of nitrogen narcosis in the situation you describe, and to limited amount. Your "extreme environment" depth speculation would likely be impossible even for several generations. Diving tables tell to avoid beyond 1 hour at 20 metres depth.

I will say because of possibility of resonance. Even a weak vibration in resonance with an architectural element can cause damage that could escalate if the resonating architectural element is in critical support of other elements, risking the integrity of the whole, pre-historic or modern, temple or other. Grab your automobile antenna by the base and push-pull it at varied cadence. There will be a critical frequency in your push-pull that will make the tip to shake widely even if your push-pull action is only a fraction of a millimeter. If the antenna was a pillar, you better be away from the falling elements.

The construction of your question shows very limited knowledge on how to use a transistor; to mix two signals, both should be fed to the properly biased base with large resistors in series at each and the transistor set to work as an amplifier, and the output taken from collector or emitter if low impedance is desired. The simplest way to mix two signals is to use a transformer with 3 windings, one for mixed output and two for the inputs to be mixed. There is much more to consider depending on the properties of the signals.

A Darrieus windmill is meant to spin a generator at its base; where its windings 'cut' magnetic lines to generate electricity. Cutting stronger or more lines of force can produce more power, and the wind force should be capable of keeping it up to a speed in order to produce a decent generation. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3c/Darrieus-windmill.jpg But, if the blades were actually made a winding preserving its aerodynamics, and no generator at its base but slip rings; the magnetic lines being 'cut' would be the earth field. Weak but massive, the area being 'cut' would be comparatively huge. Finer wire wound would yield more voltage because of number of turns; thicker wire would yield less voltage but at a higher current. The power should be about the same. Do you think the huge spinning wound blades would be capable of extracting from wind a similar amount of power without having a generator at its base ? ----> How to calculate power based on the earth magnetic field 'constant', the huge area enclosed by the blades and the rotation speed ? Edited-added: Say 0.5 Gauss; 10m^2; 100rpm; 2 blades=1winding.

You are missing an important detail, the wanted power capability for the inverter. The voltage ratio from 4.5 to 39 are reverse coincidental with a typical and abundant 117VAC to 13.5V AC transformer; which could be used as T1 here : http://www.sentex.ca/~mec1995/circ/555dcac.html

There is maaany parameters that can be changed in the ECU memory, when the type of chip is rewrittable; and most are. If not, replacing the chip with your choices is also possible. There is plenty of 'performance' stores offering the service, here is one at random : http://www.remapscience.co.uk/

Understood, but keep in mind "400F" or "200F" is not heat; it is temperature.

Can the birds singing we perceive as pleasant, melodious, be in birds reality a manifestation as aggressive as dog barking ?

Hi all. Noticed lately that when turning a corner, the temperature of the air inside the car feels abruptly warmer [yes, am at the southern hemisphere right now, using airconditioner] Has to be that layers or portions of the air next to perhaps the windshield does not rotate 90 degrees and is clearly felt at the driver position, by the inertia of the air mass. If other reason, please explain. That brings the question of a housefly hovering in the car; would it collide with the front windshield on a sudden stop ?

Thanks. Same with me about qualifications in finances. The capital does not belong to the bank. The bank is just trafficking on it, what makes me believe the investment is not $10,000. The bank invested only the $200 as far as I can see. Opinions, please ?

Hi. If a bank gets say $10,000 from a depositor funds, and pays $200 in interest to such in a year for a 2% rate ; If a loaner got those $10,000 , and paid the bank $800 in interest in a year for a 8% rate ; The bank invested $200 and got $800. ----> What is the percentage the bank earned in such operation ? Is it 200% ? [ The administrative costs of the bank, the parties and dinners and CEOs incentives being not part of this subject, those would be deducted to get a profit figure in $ ]
-
Hi. This is NOT a trick question, just came up on a discussion among friends and would appreciate opinions. What is the rentability in percentage of a bank that pays 2% to depositors and gets 8% from loaners ? Perhaps the terminology am using in this post is not the precise one, but it is not my forte.

Hi. In need to lift 700Kg to the place an item will be installed, I have been looking for a winch. A couple of salespersons said the winches they sell are rated for 2000Kg; which fits safety margins but are not meant for lifting vertically, just pulling horizontally with such force. I do not get it. What am I missing, what am I not considering as why the winch force cannot be used for lifting ? [The industry uses hoists for the same task, but chain length limitations do not fit my task (35 metres height). That is why am after a (wire rope) winch] Edited: added a random picture borrowed from the net as example of task: ----> http://escocomm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Lucas_Oil_Speaker_Cluster-246x300.png

Thanks, gentlemen. Perhaps I should re-touch the original post; my curiosity is around which of the proposed chemicals -sodium carbonate -sodium bicarbonate, -sodium hexametaphosphate, -sodium chloride, -a combination of which, -or another simple compound does a better job in cleaning silver tarnish by sulphide, not by table salt and/or optimal proportions of them to set aside what seems more empirical than science. The original (and similar video) that triggered the use of this method maaany years ago is from Haley's hints : ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg9skPKr5xc And now, visiting my family overseas, water softener (sodium hexametaphosphate ?) is not available locally. So trying to do it with other compounds that could produce as good results as possible, reading other articles in the same subject there is opinions of other chemicals performing equally? well. Even found someone saying that ClNa alone also works ; and being the aluminium and heat the important items for the performance that transfers the tarnish from the silver to the aluminium. Of course understanding the principle of the reaction is also interesting. Thanks again.

The disappearance of a specie does affect the survival of their predators, and changes populations of other related and predated. What ecological bad could come if all mosquitoes cease to exist ? Less frogs and salamanders perhaps ? Would that trigger a major disruption in ecology ?

I know much less than you about the subject, but I report the fact; I experience no redirectioning with Linux. (Ubuntu 10.10 flavor) -

"an electromagnetic field that pulses at a frequency of 10 Hz" is a phrase that makes no sense? If the AM radio station transmitter is turned off and on 10 times each second; you would have about one megahertz pulsed at 10 hertz. If the microwave oven in your kitchen is turned off and on 10 times each second, you would have four and a half gigahertz pulsed at 10 hertz. If the speakers at your home stereo are turned off and on 10 times each second, you would have about 1 kilohertz pulsed at 10 hertz. All the above are then, pulsed at a frequency of 10 Hz. But they are all very different in nature of frequency and the effects they radiate. Your choices of frequencies are near infinite even if you stick only to 10 Hz pulsing. It would be convenient for you to differentiate the concepts before planning your analysis on plants. Try to say 'exposing the plants to a X frequency at a rate of 10 Hertz'
