  1. What does one needs to do in order to become a knight these days anyway?
    I think if you save the queen's life you become a knight. Wanna look good in your shining armor, eh?
  2. Well, evolution isn't survival of the fittest, but death of those who aren't fit. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!!! So, the genes of those who aren't fit for an environment die out. But, this really doesn't apply to humans anymore. We tend to have medical care for those who have a genetic structure which makes them less fit to survive. So, I guess its "paused" at the moment...

  3. Its good after the intro, but I have another question: I am thinking about M.I.T. and I'm wondering what do they cover if I were to study for a PhD in theoretical physics? I looked on google, but I couldn't find anything...

  4. You'll have to see it here:

    I have given several letters to what I couldn't draw very well:

    a- turbine

    b- the fire

    c- the water barrel

    d- the generator, that is a copper coil mounted around the end of a pipe. The pipe rotates when the turbine does, I would suggest PVP pipe or aluminum pipe.

    e- recondenser that brings the steam back into c.

     

    You'll also need a metal barrel.

     

    The fire is surrounded by bricks and fire clay interior. The fire clay should also be used to fill the gap between the barrel and the fire pit.

  5. OK, its kinda weird, charcoal/coal/wood powered steam engine.

    List of what you need:

    About 100 or so bricks

    Metal barrel

    Fire clay

    Water

    Copper coil

    magnet

    pipe

    turbine

    and more pipe.

    Lemme check the size of the pic itself, might be too big! BRB

  6. I wanted to know how would one translate this quote from Goëthe, more specifically Faust: "Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now!"

     

    BTW, I wanted to get a good latin-english dictionary. One that is cheap, preferably. Does anyone know a site that sells good ones?

  7. So, how much energy would it take to get and keep a one ton vehicle up, making it go up 9.8 meters/second??? Now, I am genuinely curious...

  8. No, actually I said :"hey, wouldn't it be great if they had a car that..." And my brother said: "Hey, like this cartoon!"

     

    They stole the idea from ME! :P

     

    [edit] The quote is a rough translation from Goëthe!
