Difference between Focus on Problems and Focus on Solutions

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (Ink won't flow down to the writing surface). In order to solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.

What did Russians do....??

Of all the answers I had yours was the only one that was actually condescending of course I knew all that , my idea needs a hefty push now and then(made very easy with the help of Archimedes) and if it stops one would use the same principle to restart it you're no know-all we already knew that. What we are looking for,as the question clearly stated,is the means to sell somebody the idea of ALMOST perpetual motion,anybody with their wits about them would realize that this meant it needed a kick from time to time.I'm 39 yrs old and I don't care to be condescended to!Worse still I couldn't find a single bright idea among the answers I had but there was one which slagged off my idea so I hated it ,how can you presume to slag something off that you know NOTHING about.We live in the age of Miracles get a life buddy!Hey!did you know that if you sign on with a different name each time you could answer this Q as many times as you liked and then vote for yourself as best answer!

This question is for female engineering/science/technology students. If you are a female engineering student, why are you not active in participating in the society of women engineers or SWE. Please be honest-be brutal if you have to.

If a manufacturer takes a mixed-signal IC and does a die shrink, does that mean that the power consumption will go down in a real or measurable way? For example, can the shrink by itself result in a 10% decrease in power consumption?

I want to save my file into some common format like pdf or a jpeg so that i can send it to people who dont have Autocad 2006 so that they also can view it without installing Autocad 2006.

I've been trying to do some robotics like work. I can figure out how to put the gears and motors and everything together in my head, but I have no idea how to get everything to actually work physically. Like, how do I get the gear to stay there? How do I mount a motor somewhere? I've been stuck on this sort of thing for a very long time, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
