  1. If the pH is supposed to be 5.9, but it is 7, then something is wrong immediately. It is 7, and you want it to be 5.9? how do you change that? Well, if you were to add hydrogen atoms to it, it would be better? If you were to compress it further, yes, but how do you know where to stop? I suggest you try to 'fill it right up', then you take 420 of them, and lower them to the minimum concentration, and add all that together, you will have your ratio or whatever of 5.9? How does that sound? [H] is pH without the p, so, take that into consideration. Okay, so it looks to me like you take your entrophy state, and minus that from the H thing. then you work out the power of the o on top of the equations, and then you got your answer. well, very basically. Well, if you consider [pCO2] or [HCO3+] you just need to consider which is more important to the 'thing,' being either p in the former equation, or H in the latter equation? Exergonic is the one you are looking for, as it is associated with free energy, I read on google. Why don't you go to freenode? this chat server is full of programmers who can help you.
  2. that's the best explanation I have heard... thanks.
  3. I did model c maths. this was developed in my country south Africa in the eighties or so, and, it taught you to do all the maths in your head without paper, which means that working things out becomes more precise because there are fewer steps to go wrong with. of course, working everything out in your head can also lead to problems!
  4. Well, I was thinking faster and cheaper, but if you want to go around digging holes in the ground with coal, which you cannot fly because it is too heavy, then that would work... But thanks for the video!
  5. Well, if you were to take the ignition circuit, and redesign it so it is simpler, you got to look at what you want it to do, and in this case, you want it to ignite the engine. So, you need to hook it up to your car lighter. then, you need to push it in and watch the sparks - the power used in the lighter will easily light the engine, yes? Or, you could hook the key up so that it carries a charge. when you twist it, it could have a 'battery' and send a shock to the engine. don't connect the circuit, simply make the key go between the circuit to connect it, and off you go.
  6. I find this very worrying. all the deserts are always getting bigger and consuming more land, and I heard that there are huge areas of burnt trees to act as a barrier to the desert. I believe that we can reverse the desertification process. if we were to observe how desertification works, it dries all the plants out and then they simply wither and die. well that is how I think it works... If we were to see though that the biomass is left there, and biomass leads to nutrients I think, then there if we plant a new tree there quickly, we could see it grow anyways, using the dead bio mass in the soil. Now, if we were to look out into the desert, well, there must be biomass out there too? under the soil I mean. so, why not fly airplanes over the desert dropping seeds. what do we have to loose? The best way to attract rain to the area is with long pole reaching up into the sky. these attract clouds the way mountains do, so will see them grow. Of course, if that is too expensive, maybe we could throw bush out there first? this is tough stuff that will grow in the desert. I hope this doesn't belong in speculation, as it is more like a question.
  7. Well, then, do quarks have mass? being the parts of atoms, and particles are somewhere further up I think, how could quarks have mass, and things they make up don't? please answer me that and I am done, thanks.
  8. How do you know they have no mass? if they had no mass, they could pass right through everything - like they do - but, to have properties indicates some carbon parts, and that means they have to have a mass, as without a mass, they will not react with anything as they encounter it?
  9. Isn't it true that if something does not have mass it does not have energy? I always thought so, so let me explain... If the 'thing' doesn't have mass, it will not be able to react, as mass is in effect stored energy. or what?
  10. You could simply breed a disease that eats chromosomes. this would be where you put the chromosomes inside a test tube with something like the cold, then see it will eat those chromosomes, or, something more malicious. then, you can apply it carefully to eat the extra chromosomes, yes?
  11. Could be wrong, as, it is still being put in place. Free energy would be where you see reactions. when you sling a oscillator together with the other 'pebbles,' it will keep the energy going until it is used up. this technical trick can be replicated in science, I suppose...
  12. Why don't you be the first to come up with one? I am sure you know more about this than I do!
  13. Well, if there is a rule you haven't yet heard about cubes and radians and all that other lovely 'stuff,' then let me try! If you were to observe that the cube has twelve sides, and you want to put a value to each side having a radius equal to the radius of the sphere, then you will see them overlap a lot. Instead of having them overlap a lot, the typical shape you will get on the outside is a bubble gum shape, or, it will look like four atoms squished together. if that is to be measured, I would suppose there are four areas where the 'cube' or 'bubble gum,' could be measured to make the shape lose some of it's area. actually, you could reverse the angles and find the space that is left outside of your 'shape,' if you know what I mean...
  14. I would guess that you need a two way camera and power steering. this means the tiny paddle you are controlling will be able to be maximised so that it will have the power to turn the wheel. Then, you need to have three levers for the three pedals. using the remotes from a hand controlled helicopter could do the trick - just get them to go up and down instead of whirring around like that!
