Somehow leeches got into a discussion of maggot therapy. Not the same thing. During the American Civil War, it was noticed that wounded Confederate...
Did you save one or get pictures? Identifying the critters would help explain their behavior. Ground nesting has to be particular to some species.
Yeah, I should have known that. :o
So, is there such a fluid? Not water of course. It becomes less dense as it freezes. That's why it floats. So what other matter meets the criteria?
You did Grasshopper. :cool:
A useful word for a 16 y/o to know early is 'arbitrary'. As in, some things are used as rules, not because they are anchored in concrete but because...
I've thought of having a container of reflective 'dust' that could be released when encountering a thermal to mark it, but again that only tells you...
Yes and yes. The "tech is there" idea can be applied to a lot of cool ideas. And as we know, when the need or desire is there things can get made...
As a soaring pilot of many years experience, I think I have a pretty good mental image of what thermals would look like. And there are similar...
And that contributes to a solution to the objective how?
Seems this 'Science' forum is infested with nonscientific thinkers.
Specifically so that we can see what it's doing. Why? Because as a glider pilot it is good to know where the upward flowing currents of air are....
Cool links, thanks!
Good suggestions. Thanks. When you say 'rotary pistons' are you talking about like in a Wankel engine?
That's an idea worth looking at. I realize there would be losses but that may not matter. I know that a steam powered engine could be coupled with...
If one has a source of steam pressure, what are the better options for deriving cool air pressure from it? Reason, to drive pneumatic devices that...
From what I read, it's bogus but hyped up by the media. Sorry, no link. I just Stumbled on it.
That's what Isaac Newton did. When he finally hit a problem he could not solve, he copped out and said "god must have did it". The old argument...
Skeptical me says, I doubt it. But by all means, convince me if you can. Any wing can turn speed into increased lift by raising the angle of attack,...
You know very little about hang gliding. At the end of a good day of flying a hang glider, landing is good if there's a cold beer waiting. And...
Separate names with a comma.
