Read Iñigo's answer #2 a couple of times. It is very clear.

A carburetor sprays fuel from venturi nozzles, on much larger droplets. That is one of the reasons they are obsolete and have been replaced by injectors, to obtain finer mist. Fog of around a micron diameter droplets is supposed to be the size obtained from ~2MHz piezoelectric devices. Worth researching of new technology. There is much research on the automobile industry to improve the efficiency of gasoline as Cap'n states, this fog one could yield something useable some day. For sure they have looked into it. The water fog addition could help to avoid detonation of poor octane cheaper gasolines.

Some dietists talk about putting the body on 'fat burn mode' by having certain diet specially on breakfast in order to lose weight; instead of typical breakfast meals that put the body in a starving 'fat storing mode' How such 'modes' can be detected ? By some blood analysis; or urine analysis, sugar levels, or what ?

No, John C. A polished/improved something like this : youtube.com/watch?v=mmVfSGM71VI

You can get into the complications of producing oxygen; but there is another way, by turning the gasoline to gas, or to atomize it into the tiniest droplets. That will lower the consumption. Water fog could be added too. I would explore this route: The gadget is a piezoelectric atomizer, inexpensive : http://www.mainlandmart.com/foggers. I tried myself; I have the piezoelectric gadget, but did not produce gasoline fog; I suspect its built-in water level sensor has to be tricked into believing it is submerged in water, seems its level sensor does not work in gasoline.

Unsure if suicide is from very cowards or very braves. Suicide does put an end to all your troubles. Just make sure no trouble is passed to any members of family or others after. Agree, assisted suicide should be available to who cannot do it themselves, as cannot see a sure way to commit suicide in the event of being terminally ill, being a burden to others, and being disabled enough to commit it.

From what I remember, Peltier modules COP is about 1%; Seebeck modules efficiency is about 5%

The coefficient of performance for Peltier modules is around 1%. Not even near 50:50.

Is there any site exposing scanned documents (.jpg, in latin) of the daily activities of the Roman provinces governments, from around the zero century ? There should be in many museums somewhere piles of papyri documents of banal and not events; are they been digitized for public access on the net ? Edited: changed paper to papyri Related link: http://www.romereports.com/palio/vaticans-library-begins-to-digitize-80000-of-its-manuscripts-with-nasa-technology-english-5590.html

For ~$10, a Sunon computer fan could be canibalized for its magnetic suspension technology; perhaps can be applied on your project. http://www.sunonusa.com/index2.asp?f=technology&p=maglev Another brand is Enermax: http://www.digitaldingus.com/reviews/enermax/warpenlobal/index.php

Your terminology is not appropiate. In case this is what you are after, ----> http://www.metalwebnews.com/howto/ph-conv/fig1.html

Just measure it with an AC voltmeter or oscilloscope at the volume setting you want, with the load (speaker) connected on one channel. There may be dozens of different players with different output designs to answer your last question.

Yes, it is possible, feed it a signal not exceeding about a volt RMS AC, the source device should be capable of handling a low impedance load.

Thanks, gentlemen. The bow and arrow was chosen for the question instead of launching a ball by arm force because a force could be kind of measured to the string tension applied. About the frontal area, it is for a question like this, to consider all arrows identical in shape. J.C. indicates the smallest mass will achieve the highest velocity. I believe that; but what about the travel distance ? Back to the arm and ball throwing, A paper ball, a lead ball and a baseball -made all same size and aerodynamics- I can assure the baseball will fly much farther. Not the lightest nor the heaviest will reach farther. It will be the one that 'matches' the arm strenght. Now I would like to see that translated into calculations, with bow and arrow instead of arm and ball.

A bow string pushes an arrow say at 50N force for 0.05 seconds. If the arrow is made of lead, it will not reach very far. If the arrow is made of balsa wood, it will not reach very far. If the arrow has certain mass, will 'match' and will reach the farthest. How to calculate the optimal matching mass for an arrow in order to reach the farthest; for a given force / impetus ?

Hi. Cannot recommend which one would fit the best for you, but the one am most familiar with (Electronics Workbench) seems has been adquiered by National Instruments, as here : http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5662/en Old simpler/smaller/earlier versions as 5.12 may be scattered somewhere in the net, as here : http://computertraining2011.blogspot.com/2011/04/electronics-workbench-512-full-version.html There is many others, free and not; available from a search " circuit simulator "

Hi. As you are not an electronics guy, you must learn the basics in electronics and the way each component works and what it does and how it is used before jumping to microcontrollers as the Arduinos. Arduinos do nothing at all by themselves unless you tell them what, how, when... and that is dome with programming; something else you must learn before jumping to use Arduinos. I suggest you start with books, hands-on electronics tutorials abundant on the net and experimenter kits. Here is an example for what you will get into: ----> www.ardx.org/src/guide/2/ARDX-EG-SOLA-WEB.pdf If that is too much, better start from zero with books. Later, jump to ----> http://www.williamson-labs.com/ And you will see a veeeery long road in front of you for the field of electronics. The Arduino Uno can control up to 14 devices. ----> http://www.arduino.cc/

I just wanted a guess on what deposits to expect attached to the electrodes by electrolysis of a murky river carrying all sorts of minerals, using perhaps stainless steel anode and cathode plates; stepping trough different very regulated fixed voltages. And if -the electrochemical series list -or the galvanic series list, as in ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_series -or the standard electrode potential list as in ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_electrode_potential_%28data_page%29 applies in some form for the guess. Or if am way off from expressing properly what am asking.

Can anyone help fine tuning the process ? Am putting the beef steak with a couple of tablespoons of oil, salt and pepper, in a glass bowl with an upside up glass dish as a lid. Oil splatter falls back onto the steak that way, and no mess. It works nearly well at 70% power for a couple of minutes, not as good flavor as grilled of course, but perhaps some of you have perfected the task and suggest tweaks... Come on with something !

Charles: you are talking about another tree, mentioned in Genesis 2.17; the one that God lied about, as eating from it did not cause the sure death of Adam as promised; but not subject of this thread.

Hi. By applying 0.1 Volt to electrodes in a solution of multiple compounds, as a murky river; would only one or a few elements be collected ? If the voltage is increased to 0.2 V, would additional others join and get deposited ? Stepping up the voltage, would more and more elements attach to the electrodes ? Is that the way it works ? The metals or compounds being in minute nanoparticle concentrations, diluted or in suspension as in a river. Making the river to flow trough an electrolytic pipe internals, would such metals stick to electrodes placed inside the pipe ? Is that the way the electrochemical series would work in electrolysis, cumulatively selecting different metals depending of the voltage ? Am sorry about the poor terminology or attempt to express the question. In other words, would different voltages deposit different elements onto the electrodes ?

Thanks, imatfaal. A couple of things... - Referring to an English dictionary may not be a proper way to research if the word is not English in origin. Seems to me it is German or Latin in origin. - If such supposed movement from Roman citizens did succeed in fighting a particular 'then-potential' schism, there may have been no schism at all and not much records to research are left. Here is something from Italian source : http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scisma just in case was a Roman citizens movement. The date the romanticism (as known) and not to be confused with 'romantic' started around 1770 from what I could find; and that coincides with some schism -or attempt of- by the Anglican church in the XVI century : ----> http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiesa_anglicana Later, from somewhere on the net : The date of the 'great schism' 1054 I wrote in the original post was a guess of the most important one, but may have been another one a long time later. Sorry, English is my third language and cannot grab the meaning of your "he was on the wind up" Thanks.
