  1. I just stumbled onto this, I can be naive, can be a Hollywood production, perhaps not. ---> I have no cell phones to try myself There is a related recent thread, but in Politics; I prefer to post it here. Please delete if improper.
  2. Hi. Does anyone know if deformable oval plastic pipes/hoses/tubes exist ? Like to return to their oval/flatter section shape when emptied; getting rounder to 1/2" with the fluid pressure increase to 100 psi; capable of being attached to round fittings ? Seen only some garden hoses being like that, but would like to find something more sturdy/durable.
  3. Agreed, your link takes the trophy.
  4. It is not new either, but some of you may have not enjoyed it yet... ---> http://www.419eater.com/html/joe_eboh.htm Use your spare time to read, and do not hold yourself from laughing loud.
  5. Nickel wire is used in manufacturing of heating elements and control grids in vacuum tubes, a surviving Russian industry.
  6. As far as I understand, the initial damaged riser pipe did not get a clean cut because they used the wrong saw, positioned at the wrong place and they ended snipping it instead leaving a irregular cut; they never used a thick silicone covered new pipe with conical fit as to force mate and seal the joint; and the 21" leaking well outlet pipe got a 4" new riser 'attached' to recover what they are recovering until they gamble the next action. http://bp.concerts.com/gom/riser_cut_explained.htm http://bp.concerts.com/gom/successful_install_lmrp_cap_060510.htm http://bp.concerts.com/gom/enterprisetopcap060610.htm
  7. It may be Hollywood, it may not. Am not into those subjects, but there is this : http://www.flix.co.il/tapuz/showVideo.asp?m=3423928 And I do not understand the language, and I do not care.
  8. 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 ?
  9. Some 10 year old kid in charge of that operation could have done better
  10. There are some chemists that daily turn beer, moonshine and wine into urine.
  11. :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 !
  12. 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 ?
  13. 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! Edited - added : Like these---> http://www.deltadelfini.com/eng/products/axial_mixed.html This is the setup : http://www.deltadelfini.com/eng/products/around.html
  14. 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 ?
  15. Pick style 1 or techno style 2: 1: http://www.workinghumor.com/murphy/science.shtml 2: http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.shirts
  16. 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 ?
  17. 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 ?
  18. 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
  19. 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 ?
  20. 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 ?
  21. 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 ?
  22. Thanks. That is what am saying and believe; the rest of your post is unrelated to the question.
  23. 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?
