Rocket – Physics

Operation The action of the rocket engine’s combustion chambers and expansion nozzles on a high pressure fluid is able to accelerate the fluid to extremely high speed, and conversely this exerts a large reactive thrust on the rocket (an equal and opposite reaction according to Newton’s third law) which propels the rocket forwards. In a [...]

Max Baucus – Political positions

Baucus’s campaign materials claim that he is a moderate Democratic member of the Senate, occasionally breaking with his party on the issues of taxes, the environment, and gun control. The web site That’s My Congress gives him a 23 percent rating on progressive issues it tracks. NARAL Pro-Choice America’s political action committee endorsed Baucus during [...]

The Morrow Project – Setting

The game is based around the idea that a group of American industrialists predicted the coming of an apocalyptic nuclear war, and began to create a plan for an emergency operations and reconstruction infrastructure that would survive that war. This plan is the eponymous “Morrow Project”. A number of volunteers were cryogenically frozen in hidden [...]

Bonecrusher (Transformers) – Transformers: Generation 1

Bonecrusher (called Scudo in Italy) is a member of the Constructicons. He is brawler by nature and specialises in demolitions work. He would enjoy the extra potential for destruction as Devastator if it didn’t mean sharing the same mindspace as his fellow Constructicons. He transforms into a bulldozer, and forms Devastator’s left arm. Animated series [...]

Electric vehicle network – Initiatives by country

Construction is underway of two charge points from ECOtalityin the car park at 140 William Street in Melbourne CBD with Exigency providing project management and metering. Construction of infrastructure has been proposed by Better Place for the [...]

Aftermath: Population Zero – Timeline

Timeline of steam power – Development phases

Early examples *1: Hero of Alexandria describes the aeolipile, as an example of the power of heated air or water. The device consists of a rotating ball spun by steam jets; it produced little power and had no practical application, but is nevertheless the first known device moved by steam pressure. He also describes a [...]

After serving a three year enlistment in the U.S. Army, [...]

Inertial navigation system – Basic schemes

Gimballed gyrostabilized platforms Some systems place the linear accelerometers on a gimbaled gyrostabilized platform. The gimbals are a set of three rings, each with a pair of bearings initially at right angles. They let the platform twist about any rotational axis (or, rather, they let the platform keep the same orientation while the vehicle rotates [...]

Wireless sensor network – Applications

The applications for WSNs are varied, typically involving some kind of monitoring, tracking, or controlling. Specific applications include habitat monitoring, object tracking, nuclear reactor control, fire detection, land slide detection and traffic monitoring. In a typical application, a WSN is scattered in a region where it is meant to collect data through its sensor nodes. [...]
