I think so. At the apex of the loop gravity balances centrifugal force, Fg = Fc, when going the minimal speed necessary to get through the loop. Fg = m g, Fc = m v^2 / r. So mass m drops out of the equation.

You just have to go fast enough. The minimum speed keeping you from falling out of a circular loop is sqrt(gr), with gravitational acceleration g and loop radius r. 10m radius requires 36km/h, which might be suitable for a Jetski. Larger ships need bigger loops to physically fit, and consequently larger speeds. It’s quite surprising, but a monstrous 100m radius loop needs less than 120km/h.

Die Antragstellerin begehrte vor dem Amtsgericht die Feststellung, dass der nunmehrige Beschwerdeführer ihr Vater ist.

Sie mag ihn vielleicht mal “daddy” genannt haben, aber dass das Gericht das so wörtlich nimmt, geht zu weit.

Ja. Im Verkehrssektor passiert momentan nicht so viel. Tempolimit “will” laut Wissing “niemand”, er reitet das tote Pferd eFuels bis zur Verwesung und blockiert damit eine entschiedene Abkehr vom Verbrennungsmotor, und bei Elektromobilität geht es momentan auch eher schleppend voran. Da könnte der Minister auch mal der deutschen Autoindustrie in den Allerwertesten treten. Die Bahn muss erstmal ihre Strecken auf Vordermann bringen, bevor wir über mehr Güterverkehr auf der Schiene reden können, das Problem hat er aber geerbt.

IIRC, the first model ate mosfets for breakfast because the photo resistor is way too slow going from illuminated to dark. That leaves the mosfet in a fairly high resistance state for an extended amount of time during which it dissipates a lot of power. You should add some kind of Schmitt trigger inverter that buffers the resistive divider and gives you a clean narrow edge to drive the mosfet gate. A 74HC14 together with a 7805 voltage regulator should give you enough output voltage to drive the mosfet. These chips cost less than a single replacement mosfet and you can drive 6 coils with them.

And all the gold for his grillz? And the NMR and FTIR machines? Those are at least more broadly useful. Still, looks like he has way too much money on his hands.

The first part of the article triggers me. Heat in the physical sense is thermal energy. Like with other forms of energy, you need an energy difference to actually have it perform work, or you need to invest work to create an energy difference (in a heat engine or a heat pump, respectively). Just like you would letting a weight fall to the ground and lifting it back up. And cooling is removing heat, so ice cubes are actually cooling your drink.

In a pan, low specific heat capacity is not that desirable. That’s why people use big honking chunks of cast iron to prepare food: so adding the cold food doesn’t lower the temperature too much. But the metal also gets you good heat conductivity to quickly get the heat from the stovetop to where it’s needed.

Conversely the handle is made from materials that have low conductivity so heat gets conducted more slowly towards your skin. The higher capacity helps but isn’t that crucial: air has fairly low heat capacity but you can stick your hand into an oven at 100C without getting burned. Unlike boiling water, which has quite a high heat capacity.

The refrigerant should have a high heat capacity to move as much heat as possible for a given temperature difference. Most systems employ a liquid-gas phase change somewhere in the cycle to transfer even more heat energy in the form of latent heat. R134a, a common refrigerant, has a heat capacity about 3/4 of that of water.

One more thing: even if the electrical energy is completely nonrenewable, heat pumps still offer an environmental advantage. Gas power plants are fairly efficient, around 40% of the extractable heat energy gets converted to electricity. With a COP of 2.5, a heat pump would produce as much output as burning the gas in a perfectly efficient furnace. If the COP is larger, the heat pump is more efficient than burning the gas directly, and modern heat pumps usually exceed 2.5 except in the coldest days of winter. Add to that the existence of dual-cycle power plants with 60% efficiency, and the losses of a conventional furnace, and heat pumps may win even on days where the COP is slightly less than 2.

They’re sofa parasites!

This was followed by Orandazuma wa Denki Unagi no Yume o Miru ka? (Do Dutch Wives Dream of Electric Eels?, Dec. 1984, PC-8801). Inspired by Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968), players take on the role of a private investigator who has to track down a sex doll (called Dutch wives in Japan) that has become sentient and is murdering its lovers. The player tracks down the rogue doll by seducing all the women in Tokyo’s red-light district.

The concept sounds awesome. The porno parody “Blade Runner” needed.

Deine gesamte Existenz hängt davon ab, dass der nächste Antrag bewilligt wird und das gibt dir auch nur 2 Jahre Luft. Wenn’s schief geht, brauchst du nicht nur eine neue Stelle, sondern einen neuen Beruf, weil es keine anderen Stellen in deinem Spezialgebiet gibt. Bezahlung ist meistens E13 nach Tarifvertrag der Länder oder TVöD. Davon lässt es sich ganz gut leben, wenn die Stelle Vollzeit ist.

IIRC from the “What we left behind” documentary, they were shot on film. They even had a few minutes of HD material scanned from the film reels. It’s the CGI that was baked only into the tape version that makes it so difficult to do a HD remaster. And why they went back to the tapes when producing the DVD release.

Sie haben Newag falsch geschrieben.
