I know about Law of conservation of energy – but this one beats me. Can we add a motor on one side coupled with a piston and pull the line on the pulley system and add a dynamo on the other side? And use a loopback to give part of its power to the motor? <I did think of the in-efficiencies of conversion, but since this is a 1/4 pulley I am assuming atleast 50% of the 400% produced remains after all losses.
i am goin to make a circuit demonstrating electric wind. in the experiment, i have to connect a wire to a power source. the other end of the wire is allowed to discharge slowly into the air. If my current is abt 0.5 A, since my resistance is very high, what voltage will i get. What do i do to increase it?
hello. if u wanna know what i’m trying to make, go to http://membres.lycos.fr/plasmapropulsion/Historical_%26_Basic/Electric_Wind.htm
Tre, very good, u found de very site i was refferring to. Yohan, V = IR not I/R
Jalaj, i haven’t been fooled by anyone, the wire is discharging at one end, thats why the current is small compared to the high expected voltage(2000 volts)
P. B., i know abt electricity; voltage, current and resistance and the water analogy, what i wanted to know was, since I = V/R, and my resistance is very high, logically, i should have to have a very high voltage to get a considerable current. Is that right?

Part 1: Running: it’s cheap, accessible, and you get quick results. No membership to the gym required, and all you need are a pair of running shoes, shorts, and a shirt. If you run around your neighborhood for 45 minutes to an hour for 5 or 6 days a week, you’ll lose abdominal fat, your thighs will shrink and become muscular, you’ll look leaner, you’ll sleep better, and you’ll be able to do other fun physical activities like hiking more easily.
Part 2: Strength training. Again, easy, accessible, cheap. No membership to the gym required. You can lift weights right in your own home. For example, take a dictionary to start, balance it on your hands while laying down, and lift up and down. Ta-da, strength training for the arms. Or, buy a set of weights from a sports store; they’re relatively inexpensive.
Part 3: Cut back on the junk food and replace it with fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, lean meats, whole grains, etc. Your diet doesn’t have to be so strict that you end up binging on the bad stuff. Just make substitutions. Instead of ice cream, eat frozen yogurt. For your chips substitute, eat fat-free Pringles. Make sure you get enough of the good calories, and don’t skip any of the food groups! (that means no low-carb diets) Any mineral or vitamin deficiency in your diet will compromise your energy stores and your overall health. Get involved in your cooking, so you know exactly what’s going into your mouth. Look up healthy recipes on the internet. You’ll find that a lot of these healthier foods taste much better than you thought they would. (Plus, you’re spending the same amount of money on food; you’re just buying different stuff.)
Part 4: Reward yourself every now and then. It’s fine to live a little. Just make sure you’re only rewarding yourself once or twice a week.
Part 5: Stay active even on your recovery days. Take a hike with friends in the mountains. Go for a leisurely swim. Bike with a significant other. Pick up a sport hobby, like tennis.
Part 6: Keep at it and have patience. You didn’t gain the weight overnight, so you’re not going to lose it overnight. Don’t expect to lose more than 2 pounds per week. Doctors and dietitians recommend this amount; anything else is considered to be unhealthy. The combination of eating right and exercising regularly WORKS. You’ll become leaner and you’ll stay that way if you continue to eat right and exercise daily.
I’m trying to lose 15/20 pounds.

how long does it take an atom to travel from the nucleus to the end of the visible tail?
So much turmoil in the world today. Resources are on the decline (water shortages, fossil fuels, etc.) Governments world wide neglecting their citizens, keeping their power for themselves.
How long before this ends? Will there ever be a time (in the near future anyway, I really don’t care about 200 years from now, I’ll be dead) when humans can push aside their shortcomings and live up to the potential we have? Or are we just doomed to more wars, failures and disappointment?

Im a praying by the end of this year or beginning of next me and my girlfriend will be engaged.
One of our first dates was to a mill creek where we sat on the rocks and talked and kissed, as we were leaving i went to get a beachball that was in the water, I hit a slippery rock, slash… lol… embarrassing but has become a special place to us.
she also loves it when i sing & play my guitar. i have written numerous songs for her
here is what i was thinking.
the NIGHT BEFORE our annaversary late driving her there. having the path to the bottom lined with lit tea lights and pedals, at the end of the path on one of the rocks having my guitar set up along with a bottle of wine i brought home from italy when i went years ago.
I figure by then she would know whats up but i wouldnt ask quite yet. we would share a glass of wine, talk of the future, look at the stars and i would then grab the guitar & sing a new song i wrote. (regarding how i love her with everything) when done i would get
down on one knee, confess my feelings again to her tell her everything i feel and ask for her hand.
tell me your honest opinion
additions
or stuff to leave out
thank you
I would obviously have the ring with me and possibly play the song with it in my hand the whole time.
i have custom designed a setting which will be cast in platinum.
we are looking at diamonds today so i will know exactly what she is looking for
Im In Love With This Woman, always will be and cant see my life without her in it.
obviously by the time I asked it would technically be our anniversary just a bit less expected as if it where our anniversary night…
SNEAKY AINT IT… ,’ )

In Brazil, the fifth largest country in the world, there’s a plan to become free from imported oil by the end of 2006.
Brazil started its ethanol program because of the oil crisis in the ’70s.
Developing ethanol has led to a brand new kind of car called a “flex vehicle,” which gives you the option of using a gasoline ethanol blend or 100 percent ethanol.
Today, 70 percent of new cars sold in Brazil are flex vehicles, which cost no more than a regular car.
