Hi. Sorry if posted at a wrong place. It is my habit to keep a large cheese in the refrigerator and a portion to be consumed during a ~week outside the refrigerator under a glass bell. It is just the way I want it. On hotter season, some mold forms before the ambient kept cheese is consumed. (Yes, I could make smaller portions) I have tried baking soda; vinegar; lemon juice; in an open small container next to the cheese under the bell. Sometimes extends the cheese life, sometimes does not Any suggestion for other items to try with fumes/aromas that will somewhat deter/delay the mold from forming ?

British Petroleum sucks... except when they have to !
Externet replied to Externet's topic in The Lounge
:confused: Sorry, I do not understand your rationale. The sea surface would be the "bottom" of the "pushing" pumping they have to implement to suck seawater into the leaky joint below ! As if there was a swimming pool at the Empire state floor zero. You place the pump there, not at floor 101 ! -

Cap'n : Perhaps you are thinking on a pump with an impeller <10m above the fluid surface, were you have partial vacuum primed column. If pumping was limited to 10 metres, how does the Empire State gets water supply at its 101 floor ? -

Thanks again. Something does not click at all Allow me to put this in other form: A one mile long vertical pipe into the ocean, with open bottom end, open top at the surface. To me, any pump placed in the pipe at the surface will suck the pipe column contents as effortlessly as if there was no pipe and sucking from the sea surface. (Well, a tiny difference by flow resistance) If instead, at the bottom end, petroleum at whatever pressure is rushing upwards, it would be even easier to pump ! Without disagreing with your figures. It just does not make sense. I worked several years constructing shrimp farms, intalled several 30" pumps on 300HP with brutal flow figures I cannot recall right now; the impeller was about 2 metres under the surface in high tide and perhaps a few centimetres above in low tides. The pumping height was about 5 metres, but hell they delivered a brutal flow without any help pushing water into the inlet!

Thanks. If the petroleum well flows freely at -say 20 gal/second; installing a 40 gal/second pump at the surface (not above the surface) will not counteract the leak ? -

Ball bearings are made of a steel very good candidate to be permanently magnetized. Just do it. By rubbing with rare earth magnets or inside a coil. And then attract plenty of magnetic particles into its races to self-destroy them. What would be your intended use for such magnetic bearings ? Bunch of spherical magnets spinning in closed circles electrically conductive loops generating heat ?

British petroleum sucks... except when they have to ! Where is the mystery in installing a sucking pump at the surface to suck the petroleum from the leaking pipe joint so it sucks seawater in instead of leaking petroleum out ?

Oh, yes, agree with the multitude of scams and fakes. It just seems weird go set up such theatrical event based on 'bull' Sadly, the titles of some videos make emphasis on the words 'free energy' by whatever reason they choose such words, and may provoke the educated to not look at the video entirely, or even open. Still do not know if it is Houdini or Copperfield or Blaine German patent : http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?WO=2009019001&IA=EP2008006459&DISPLAY=STATUS

Hi. I prefer to buy a fan instead of an air conditioner, and browsing the market, there is one i would reaaaally like, but is not for sale Can someone tell me what the hot hell is going on here : This one ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvWxe_RRo8k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq67pNwLKdQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5lXNpOnurw These machines are popping out in good numbers. Is Houdini behind them ?

On the gulf petroleum leak disaster, they did not use the wire saw; they went with a circular saw instead, I think... The collapsing half cut pipe bite the saw? As cutting a tree branch from the underside ? Is that what happened ?

Hi. The thermal emission from our bodies at about 37°C warms up the air next to the skin. What happens when the ambient temperature is like 40°C and beyond as in some regions ? Does the body 'mechanism' go into cooling or into stop heating ? Where is the excess heat 'dumped to' ? Would the air layer next to the skin be cooler than the ambient ?
-
Thanks. That is what am saying and believe; the rest of your post is unrelated to the question.

Yes, I thought about it. It is not about purpose of insulation. If the inlet pipe 'rides' next to the outlet pipe inside the insulation jacket, the output hot water will lose some of its heat transferred to the adjacent inlet cold pipe. At the same time, the now pre-heated inlet will absorb the sun heat raising its temperature beyond. Later, at the outlet, will give up some of it. What is your rationale?
-
At 50 Hertz and no core, difference will be negligible. Variations from mains voltage are greater factor than what such minuscule inductance can affect. If you are really trying to eliminate inductance, make half the windings clockwise and half counterclockwise.

Hi. A solar water heating panel on a roof gets its water supply from a pipe and outputs on another pipe. cold water pipe --->==============================solar hot water pipe <---==============================panel What changes in performance/efficiency if -only the hot output pipe is insulated, or if -both pipes are fit together inside the same insulation sleeve ? (The inlet water is at ambient temperature)

Hi. Some basic experiments turn fluids to different colors depending on its properties, to determine its characteristics. Are the colored particles at molecular size? Dyes, inks, are their color at molecular size or just to the size of its finely ground material in suspension ? Example, fountain pen ink.

How massive has the support legs/columns have to be on a mile deep ocean to support the facilities platform and rough seas ? This is four times the world trade center building height On its collapse, the sea floor would be a unbelievable maze of twisted steel beams; or how does the anchoring works, is it floating with many anchors around ? Did the fire in the gulf sank the platform and collapsed the support towers? http://www.bp.com/genericarticle.do?categoryId=9013609&contentId=7021443

Thanks. Is it possible to leave the diabetes aside from the discussion or is it such a factor that must be considered in the response? -Taken as if none of the middle age obese nor the elderly cases had diabetes, per example- I have met several elderly that were somewhat fat at middle age and lost the overweight into their late sixties. Including my father, not obese but bellyful, lost all the belly in his early seventies. (and never had diabetes) Just wondering what goes on, -if something goes on- 'naturally' at that age respect to weight loss.

No. Power into primary winding = power out of secondary winding + heat Yes, it is. More voltage into the primary will result in more primary current and thus more Voltamperes The transformation is Voltampers Those Voltamperes available in the secondary can be of low voltage winding capable of some current. The multiplication VxI is still (Voltampers). If the secondary winding is made of higher voltage, will result in more secondary load current. The secondary current will increase if the secondary voltage is increased or the secondary resistance load is decreased. UP to a limit. The part you are missing is the limit of the power transformed figure.
-
Nobody has a clue on the mystery. Not even a remote guess on how it works. Perhaps in a couple of hundred years, perhaps.

It seems very unusual to see people in their seventies and beyond being obese. Is it because at a certain age something reverses and shrinkage and weight loss takes over ? Or because all the obese already died never making it to that age ? Do you know elders who were obese at certain point in their lives and 'naturally' greatly lost the overweight ?
