I swear to god that while I was taking this semi-conductor course at the University of Illinois the professor told us about this research he (Milton Feng) and his collegues were doing on laser transitors or transistors that "switch on" when a laser is shined on its "gate".
Sorry... Just...
That'd be awesome if you could prove it to me mathematically so I could be sure. Everything they've always taught me in classes seems to say you're right, but there's something about it that's nagging me.
It seems like if you had a mass on the end of the spring and let it drop... it'd...
You're right, I'm mostly the latter. I recently got a degree from the college of electrical and computer engineering from the university of Illinois, and I can't find a job so I'm just sitting around with a lot of time on my hands :)
I was thinking... in your analagy the casimir effect is the water, all we're doing is using it's energy to overcom gravity and spin the paddle back to the top. Whatever energy is left over we get to use to turn our grindstone. You see... we're still putting new energy into the system, but...
If you wanted a huge current you could just use step down transformers, increase the efficiency with superconductors. Afterall, we get more casimir effect at low temperatures anyway. With the voltage source (the piezoelectric) in parallel to whatever circuit we're driving and the capacitor, we...
I dunno according to this : http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Quantum/casimir.html
pi h c
F = -------- A
480 L^4
Lets say we have a 1um gap between a plate that's ten meters wide and long
F = .13 newtons...
Wouldn't be just like turning the crank on a generator, except this time the energy is coming from the energy in a vacuum instead of from my hand? Seems to me that as long as the casimir force were enough to overcome the friction in the pivot and move the plates closer together a (according to...
I was doing homework one day for one of my engineering classes and I had a thought about the casimir effect. Couldn't I use this force to tap into the zero point energy? I Sketched out something quick and forgot about it (like I always do when I have an "insight"). Something someone posted...
Yeah, you get a problem when you take this path through your code:
int main()
{
double f;
double b;
double c = 1.0;
double pp = 0.6;
int coin;
int win = 0;
int n = 0;
int i;
int bet;
for (i = 0; i < N-1; i++)
{
c = log(c);
coin = rand() % 2;
if (pp > 0.5)
{...
I bought a crappy $20 lexmark from Walmart, ran out of ink, bought another $20 printer and saved $20 on just buying new ink cartridges.... can't say it prints especially well, but I only ever used it to print out reports and stuff.
Also, most people who are happy with their motherboard never post anything about it. It's those that have problems that go to the message boards and rant or give bad reviews out of spite. So even when "everyone" seems to be having problems, the ratio of good to bad items out there is probably...
Yeah, check the capacitors.... I had the same thing happen to me, and when I opened it up a bunch of the capacitors had the domes appearance and a bunch of the electrolytic gel (I think that's what it's called) was comming out of the tops. It was an Epox board too.
Fill the water a stable colloidal suspension of sub-domain magnetic particles in a liquid carrier. Which, as I just looked up, is called a ferrofluid :) When a field is applied all the "little magnets" align with the field and viscosity makes the liquid take the same shape. Apply a field that...
It's funny. I just graduated from the University of Illinois and I took two computer Architecture classes and they both used texts written by Hennesy and Patterson.
