I am using Vectorworks and I need to set up my page for 3/8" = 1'-0" scale. It is not an option so to manually set it up I would type in 1: ??? for the paper scale. For example 1/4" = 1'-0" would be 1:48 on the "paper scale". I forget how the math works. Thanks!

I am about to graduate college with a batchelors in mechanical engineering and I already have a job line up for when i get out. I am going to be doing finite element/structural anaysis for general dynamics.

My question is this: If I want to eventually get into machinery design or something along those lines will I be less sought after because I worked on finite analysis and have no experience in design? Or, would any previous mechanical engineering job 'in the real world' be better than being fresh out of college, even though it doesn't directly relate to what I would be doing at this new job?

Magnets are easy to find as small bits that you tinker with, but where do you find them in great quantities. I'm talking attract something from across the room, if it repelled would-be-room-apart, feel the tug from across the house magnet size. I mean big. I may not even be looking for big. In fact-no. Not big. Strong. Super strong.

My electrician is a "distributor" for this product. The website seems official, but yet, I am skeptical as I see nothing about a patent or patent pending. Also, no customer testimonies either. Anyone have knowledge or understand if this device really makes sense?
Thanks!

I have a small CNC router cutting High Molecular Weight Polyethelyne (HMWPE) The Bit is a 2 flute upspiral high speed bit, running at 21K rpm, the problem is that I am developing a high static charge in the spall from the cutting process, And it is starting to cause problems with the electronics controlling the operation. All of my cables are shielded, but the static cling of the material and resultant discharge can be painful. The unit it self is earth grounded to an eight foot ground rod < .25 meters from the unit. Any help?

I need a jointer piece that has an inner diameter of 1" and an outer diameter of 1 1/4". I also need a 25 inch long pipe piece with an inner diameter of 3/4" and an outer diameter of 1". As some of you have probably guessed, I'm making a shakuhachi. I did see numbers on the outside of the pipe pieces, but I can not determine whether they are inside or outside dimensions.

To answers, I'm no electrician & do not understand this kind of stuff, but my neighbors & I got into a debate about power cost & I need help.

On my powerbill the total kWh used this month is 222,
Days: 27, Avg KWh per Day is 8, & Avg Cost per Day is $0.87.
I needed some help doing some analysis.

To the nearest tenth of a cent, how much does 1 kWh cost?
-is that 0.087 cent?

I was trying to figure out in joules how energy i consume? Is there a formula and how do I do that?
-From my own research the answer I got was 799,200,000 J

Next, I wanted to find the average power consumption in Watts? (I am not sure what formula to use or how to go about this?

Also, the power company has noted that I am provided with 120 V? Based on the power consumption, what is the average current running in my house?

And in general, I was wondering how much would it cost me to leave all the lights on in the house for one day. I have 70 bulbs in my house that are all 75 watts?

Thanks!

We're supposed to make a mini solar car for a project in our school. Ours is about the size of the mouse attached to your computer.

Our car is pretty fast when compared to those made by other groups, but the main problem is that it keeps tilting and turning all the time so it runs out of the track almost every time. The track we're supposed to run on is 1 foot wide and about 20 feet long.

Our car originally had only 3 wheels for higher speed, 2 at the back and 1 in the front. Then we found out that it's very unstable, sometimes running towards the right and sometimes left, running out of the track all the time. So we gave it 4 wheels instead, but now its speed has significantly reduced, and it's still very unstable. Now we don't know whether giving it 4 wheels instead of 3 is a right choice or not.

Help! What should we do!? Now we have 2 goals:
1) Make it run in a straight line, at least it wouldn't run out of the track again.
2) Make it even faster.
