  1. Nothing is at rest. If you see something at rest, it just means your velocity vector is the same as that thing, giving illusion of being at rest to observer. The smallest currently known, in Standard Model, charged particles are electron and positron. Photon obviously cannot be made of electron and positron joined together (in such way to cancel each other influence to external observer). As their total energy (1.022 MeV) is tremendously higher than typical photon (say green photon 2.32 eV 532 nm).
  2. You should check manual of your caravan what is maximum weight it can stand, and where it should be placed. It should be described in manual. Alternatively you can search the net for model name you have. If it cannot stand 500 kg (with all the other stuff you have in it), there is no question were to put it.. or you will destroy caravan. Subtract MTPLM (Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass) from Unladen Weight. f.e. this model http://www.venture-caravans.com/new-adria-adora-612-dt-rhine-current-6berth-northamptonshire-ck0190c76 has 1700 kg-1503 kg=197 kg I checked maybe 10 models in above library, and none from 1st page had higher than 200 kg max load. Heavy weight should be placed near axis. Additionally driving speed should be adjusted to weight you have in car and caravan. ps. Mods should adjust thread title accordingly..
  3. You ca You can build whatever you like. At the end, if it will be working, you could... sell them for $24k per unit.. Probably you will earn plentiful more than on "purple gold".

    Radius of the Earth is 6371000 meters, area of sphere is [math]A=4 \pi r^2[/math] so [math]4*3.14159265*6371000^2 = 510,064,471,909,788 m^2[/math] Every increase of radius by d=1 mm = 0.001 m would increase volume by approximately [math]A*d=510,064,471,909 m^3[/math] Density of water is 1000 kg/m^3, ice is 934 kg/m^3, average density of the Earth is ~5505 kg/m^3, density of iron is ~7874 kg/m^3. So if it would be just ice comet. It would have to have mass: [math]m=p*V=476,400,216,763,006 kg[/math] (double as much as Halley's Comet according to wikipedia) We can reverse question and equation. "What would have to be radius of comet/asteroid to have such volume/mass?" [math]V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/math] [math]r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3 V}{4 \pi}}[/math] [math]r=4956 m[/math] Diameter ~10 km Halley's Comet has mean diameter 11 km.. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid there is ~12000 objects with diameter larger than 10 km in the solar system.
  6. Coilgun requires electricity to create electromagnets and accelerate object inside. So there would be needed fuel to make all that electricity. If there would be used energy from the Sun, that's it 1367 W/m^2 with 100% efficiency of solar panels (in reality it's ~15% widely used, NASA could have slightly better), to accelerate object with mass 10 tons, to velocity 30 km/s, solar panels area 100 m^2, there would be needed 381 days to get all that energy.. With 15% efficiency, it's 2541 days (nearly 7 years), all day long just on loading accumulators. And it's still with assumption that 100% of energy in accumulators is used to get kinetic energy of object, without any lost..

    3D Math

    I don't think so using Z_Translate=1 is good choice. See Pythagoras's triangle. If you have a=b=1 c^2 = a^2 + b^2 c=sqrt(a^2+b^2)=sqrt(1^2+1^2)=sqrt(1+1)=sqrt(2)=1.414 (every increase/decrease of z by 1, causes line to have on screen length 1.414, not 1) But it would look better if line would have length 1.0 1/sqrt(2)=0.707 (because 0.707^2+0.707^2=1) I tried with: Z_Translate = {X : -0.707, Y : 0.707} And gfx looks slightly better. But you're free to use whatever you like. After all it's your program. But better give user option to control it. They could switch from perspective projection to isometric projection or to other mode they will want. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection Rotation is very easy, f.e.: x,y,z,angle_y inputs x1 = x * cos( angle_y ) - z * sin( angle_y ); y1 = y z1 = x * sin( angle_y ) + z * cos( angle_y ); Imagine, angle=0,cos(0)=1,sin(0)=0 so x1 = x * 1 - z*0=x y1 = y z1 = x * 0 + z*1=z Lack of rotation. Repeat thought experiment with angle=PI/2,PI,PI*3/2,2*PI, or any other angle.
  8. In the basic manual PDF of my country patent office (Google translate): "The principle is that the [country] legal person or [country] citizens having a resident on [country] territory can make patent applications abroad after prior notification to the Patent Office or through the Office (the notifications under international and European)." If it's the same in your country, you cannot skip Turkish patent office, and go directly to U.S. patent office. Anyway why would you like to go such route? Take European or Worldwide patent instead of just U.S. only.. Worldwide cost is ~ 3100 euros for a start in the first 30 days (part in local currency, part in CHF, part in euros, I joined them together).. Better you be millionaire already... Later will be further payments, if patent will be not rejected.. ps. What patent has to do with "creating something great in science"... ? You cannot patent science discoveries.. You could only patent novel usage for already known science discovery. ps2. PCT – The International Patent System http://www.wipo.int/pct/en/
  9. I am sorry to hear about your lost.. Does it have some odor? Nitric and Hydrochloric have odor, at least in larger concentrations. Sulfuric is odorless. If acid has significantly different density than water, you could measure volume, measure mass, calculate density, and calculate how much do you have it. If there is 0% of acid, density is close to water density 1 g/mL, if there is 100% of acid, density is close to mentioned on wikipedia website of acid. If you have density larger than density on website of acid, you can safely exclude it. Like f.e. 1.8 g/mL, it can't be neither Nitric nor Hydrochloric, as they have smaller max densities. On f.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrochloric_acid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfuric_acid there are tables showing how density varies with concentration. f.e. table on HCl mentioned density 1189 g/L 1189 g * 38% (by mass) = 451.82 g 451.82 g / 36.46 g/mol = 12.39 mol/L (and you see it's matching table data)
  10. But that's exactly reverse direction from "saving energy".. See wire plugged to bottom? It's turning on electromagnet.. http://design-milk.com/lyfe-emits-magnetic-appeal-levitating-garden/?utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_content=5779ff2104d30136f4130b18&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter
  11. Sorry, but saying that Python is way to go, is plain.. ridiculous... Try writing the same routine, doing heavy mathematical equation billion of times, in C/C++ and Python. Place printf( "Clock %d\n", clock() ); at the beginning and at the end of routine (and Python equivalent one). Measuring time in C/C++ http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ctime/clock/ If you divide ((float)( clock() - t ) / quantity of internal loop execution/CLOCKS_PER_SEC), there is time spend on single loop execution. What do you see if you compare the same code written in C/C++ and Python.. ? Python is interpreter, while C/C++ compiler producing machine code.. Python is written in C/C++! DevilSolution, have you tried Managed C++ ? It's .NET Framework with C++. That's the way, I am writing apps for Windows ATM, GUI is designed in .NET form designer (Visual Studio/Express GUI designer), it's quite user/programmer friendly, and code is still in C++. Why do you want to bother with QT? It has to be working on Linux/Unix also.. ? We would need to know more about your code, how often do you call external DLLs and what they are, to advice better, though.. DLLs are written in C/C++, their interfaces are in C/C++, if you will use other language than C/C++, you will have to use wrappers whether you want or not, no choice. Truly extensive math calculation should be split to various threads/cores of CPU, it can give you 8 times speed up on Core i7, and if it's not enough, there should be rethinked idea of using GPU 1024+ cores (OpenCL/CUDA) for even more optimized code. Depending how long your calculations are taking..
  12. Apparently you don't type much every single day. I am writing probably 1000 times more than speaking in the real world, so have problems expressing myself while talking in the real world. I would faster write something on the computer screen, than talk. 30 years of experience..
  13. There are couple states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Plasma has lonely protons, and lonely electrons. To turn gas to plasma, there is needed energy from external source (or extreme pressure like in star). For Hydrogen it's 13.6 eV per single atom. Plasma emits photons, acquire electron, and turns to electric neutral gas, neutral gas emits more energy (photons at lower energies), and cool down to liquid, then further to solid. "Extreme high temperatures" mentioned by you, keeps plasma in plasma state, to not turn it to other states of matter, and suddenly to solid state of matter.
  14. In what circumstances proton would emit gluons, and decrease its quantity? And in what circumstances proton would absorb gluons, and increase its quantity? If quantity of emitted particles will be equal to absorbed, it'll be in equilibrium. But if that would happen in different gravitational field, then experiments like Pound-Rebka should be affected, no? Object at higher altitude, will emit particles, but won't get enough of them back. It could be extended to: - what is rate of emitting particles (per second?) - what is rate of absorbing particles (per second?) If it's in seconds, then they obviously in different gravitation, will have slightly different rates, isn't?
  15. Well, you should start from learning about gravitational redshift http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/relativ/gratim.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_redshift and Pound-Rebka experiment / Harvard Tower Experiment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound-Rebka_experiment As these are experiments showing what happens with photons due to gravitation.
  16. In 3D geometry editor you could try bevel tool (or extrude/extender with move tool), select polygon, or couple polygons. but instead of making "positive" mesh, try opposite direction, then repeat it couple times. Make the same method branches. The same method could be used to make tree (but offset positive). Alternative method: make cave mesh, and subtract one object from other object, boolean operation on 2 meshes.
  17. If YouTube video has enabled ads, each 1000 views (approximately), gives $1 income in ads, so 1 mln views will give approximately $1k income (as long as enough and exceed threshold set by user). Basically Google pays video owner each month. As long as it has viewers interested to watch it. Something unusual, interesting, has large viewer count.
  18. I would like to see it. Please provide photos. Or maybe even better make YouTube video? 1 mln view count = ~$1k earned Should be enough encouragement to perform experiment in the front of camera.. ? What is purpose of "filtering Aluminium"? Because OP wants to have Sodium metallic, if you didn't notice..
  19. And where would that constant being used? In which equation? What units? How could heavier object (entire galaxy) rotating around lighter object (solar system).. ?
  20. Whether something is stationary or not, depends on FoR you choose.
  21. 2 particles input, 1 particle output? Very unlikely, as it would not most likely conserve momentum. 2 particles input, 2 particles output? Yes. It will work.
  22. Even if he would pass chlorine through methane, he would get "unholy mess of different things", CH3Cl, CH2Cl2, CHCl3, CCl4... Reaction with the more details is mentioned on website of CH2Cl2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichloromethane "DCM is produced by treating either chloromethane or methane with chlorine gas at 400–500 °C. At these temperatures, both methane and chloromethane undergo a series of reactions producing progressively more chlorinated products. In this way, an estimated 400,000 tons were produced in the US, Europe, and Japan in 1993.[10] CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl CH3Cl + Cl2 → CH2Cl2 + HCl CH2Cl2 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl CHCl3 + Cl2 → CCl4 + HCl The output of these processes is a mixture of chloromethane, dichloromethane, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride. These compounds are separated by distillation. DCM was first prepared in 1839 by the French chemist Henri Victor Regnault (1810–1878), who isolated it from a mixture of chloromethane and chlorine that had been exposed to sunlight.[12]"
  23. Gamma photon is absorbed by particle, and f.e. two new photons with lower energies are emitted. Or gamma photon is absorbed by particle, particle accelerated, and new lower energy photon is emitted. It's cascade like effect. 1 MeV gamma photon could be after 20+ such interactions be split to 1 million photons with 1 eV energy each. See Compton scattering f.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compton_scattering
  24. ?? Without velocity vector you don't know whether do redshift or blueshift.. Imagine situation: the Sun is emitting highly accelerated electron, or other elementary particle, say it has v=0.5c relativistic velocity, And then a while later the Sun is emitting photon, once photon reaches particle, we have to use redshift calculation to be able predict how particle behaved. Now imagine two binary star system, particle from 1st star is emitted toward 2nd star in system, and approaching emitted by this star photon, then we have to use blueshift calculation to be able predict how particle behaved.
  25. Whether it will have more or less energy depends on velocity vector direction. Particle traveling in direction of incoming photon has blueshift Relativistic Doppler effect, [math]f=f_0*\sqrt{\frac{1+v}{1-v}}=f_0*(1+v)*\gamma[/math] while particle travel in the same direction as photon has redshift Relativistic Doppler effect. [math]f=f_0*\sqrt{\frac{1-v}{1+v}}=f_0*(1-v)*\gamma[/math]
