Engineering - July 2006

I was told it was building regulations, but why the regulation? The only thing I can think of is if a person fell they would not fall all the way down.

I am led to believe that mines use this system, using the "pit head fan motor" to improve the P.F. for the rest of the pit.

I have been told that the noise is because of the moisture in the air (corona discharge). The sound does seem to be stronger when the humidity is higher or it has just rained.

Are the examples of refrigeration devices that contain no moving parts, but are able to cool things very efficiently?
What I had in mind is some kind of simple electrical device or materials that work like a thermocouple in reverse.

You apply a charge, and instead of heating up, it cools down.
Maybe a semiconductor device? Maybe some special materials?

Some creating ideas, links, thoughts are welcome.

Thanx!

Cinder blocks are more sturdy and last longer. They block noise and are cheap. A cinder block house wouldn't burn down in 5 minutes. Hurricanes, flooding, or trees wouldn't knock it over. You could put any siding on the house you wanted and it would look normal. If someone was going to spend $200,000 on a house, why get a low quality one when a cinder block house would cost 1% more? If you were building a house, would you make the (outside) walls out of 2x4's or cinderblocks?

What is the reason? Please tell me you sources.

I was wondering, after the recent tragedy in one of the tunnels that's part of the Big Dig in Boston killed someone driving through it, why is it necessary to have these slabs of concrete (like what's their purpose in the tunnel)?
Thanks

As of now, all aircraft have to be painted white. The suns rays heat up dark colors which causes the fiberglass core to shrink, and this damages the fiberglass. I need help discovering ways to have other color options than simply shades of white.

I have a fan that is out of a refridgerator.
It is the kind that the motor blocks some of the airflow (metal square plates with coil around it)
There are three wires, black, white and red.
If I hook black and white up to 110v it runs fine for a minute or two, then turns off! the coil(windings) continue to heat up.

The red wire does not seem to do anything. can hook it up in combination with white or black and the fan does not run.

#1 is the motor stopping caused by a heat expansion? (bad solder joint)
#2 is the red wire for a low speed and broken? (should be red and white for low)

Thank you

(Note: This is not a political question, it is a scientific question)

The USA has spent $100 billion to $200 billon dollars in the last 20 years on military action in the middle east, primarily to protect our oil interests in the region.

If the US had committed $200 billion to solar energy research in, say 1990, would we be less reliant on oil and gasoline today and if so how must less reliant?
