Aeroplane Physics
... right angles to the relative airflow. It is varying according to the shape (camber) of the wings. Production of lift is dependant on two principles: * Bernoulli's Principle and, * Newton's Third Law of Motion. Bernoulli's Principle This principle, named after the Swiss mathematician and physicist ...
Atomic Energy
... the Manhatten Project under the football stands of Chicago University.' (Keifer 11) The first demonstration of this kind of atomic power was the uranium fission bomb. 'On August 6, 1945 that bomb destroyed an area of 45 square miles and killed more than 90,000 men, women, and children and ...
Nuclear Fusion.
... boiling pot of immense force. Out of the vast open blue space, an outside force crumples with the bubbling energy. With the speed of light, the atoms are forced together closer and closer until there is no space left between them. A cloud of dust forms and the colossal heat grows hotter and hotter ...
TITLE: The Maginot Fallacy: Anti-terrorist Measures in the Nuclear Industry THEORY: Power plants are vulnerable to air attack. (what's wrong and how to fix it)
... the rest of the plant. Increase force-on-force tests. Most of these recommendations are ones that NCI gave almost 20 years ago, but that the NRC denied were necessary which claim they continued to support with a system of disinformation laid by the Nuclear Energy Institute , lobbyists and ...
An article on the anatomy, funtion and significance of the compact disk.
... of standards jointly developed by Sony and Phillips is said to be the reason for the immense success of CD_DA and CD_ROM. This set of standards essentially indicate the following: · The physical structure of the compact disk (macroscopic and ...
Einstein
... of nature, music, and of course, science. In 1903 he married Mileva Meric, a mathematician friend. In 1905, Einstein published five separate papers in a journal, the Annals of Physics. The first was immediately acknowledged, and the University of Zurich awarded Einstein an additional degree. The ...
Tesla / The history of tesla and the fued with Edison that blackend his name. A very thought out paper about tesla being left out of history because of his budgetery concerns.
... of the threat of such a destructive force. All that he received was a letter of appreciation from the president's secretary. Tesla then proposed the idea of a sending station that would send out "exploring rays" and reveal the location of enemy craft. The ...
The Michelson and Morey Experiment
... the history of physics that challenge the old system of thinking, while opening up doors for new ideas and progressions to be made. One such experiment is the Michelson and Morley experiment of the earth's velocity through "aether". Albert Michelson and William Morley were two American physicists ...
Optical fiber
... and high bandwidth potential. How Fiber Works The working of an optical fiber is dependent on the principle of total internal reflection. Light reflects or refracts based on the angle at which it strikes a surface. This principle is at the center of how optical fiber works. Restricting the angle ...
A world without friction.
... and bolts together! Without friction it would also be very hard to brush your teeth and this will be an uncomfortable thing for people to live with! It would be very hard to actualy take grip of the toothbrush and ...
