And if NIF announces the achievement of scientific breakeven by vaporizing gold capsules with a massive laser array, I shall congratulate them, even if I would prefer that someone else get there ahead of them. I would absolutely crack up if NIF found out they had to use large amounts of a precious ...

Yes, I am very well aware of the supercruise thing. But you are obviously not aware of the distance between the US soil and mainland China... It makes the fighter very ineffective. You might have better results stationing them in Okinawa or some other friendly airbase closer to China. Otherwise, yo...

The money problem in the US isn't how much is being spent on the military. That is only about 5 to 10 percent of what is taken in by taxes from what I've seen. The budget problems are in how the other 90 - 95% are being used, in my opinion. the u.s. federal budget is publically available online. i ...

Perhaps the v=ir is a result of an effective resistance caused by the inductor itself?

So, there could be a moderate voltage, and a moderate current, relative to the amount of "resistance" created by the inductor? Or does an inductor not do this?

I think I MAY be understanding your question now. Given the circuit below, where the straight lines are all superconductors unless there is a resistor (/\/\) in the way. The center cross wire is also SC but is above the transition temperature so it has resistance. The current is your typical V=I*R1...

...and they need to know at least one foreign language, better two. Um, why? You see, here in the United States of America, we speak the language of international business. If your native language is Slovenian, as my great grandparents' native language was, then yes, you need to learn a new languag...

You are a very angry person aren't you?











I'll work on responding to the rest of your post slowly...

I know those formulas, just am wondering what the heck current could possibly be. If you knew those formulae, you would not be asking the question in that way I think .... current (Amps) is charges (coulombs) per second flux ... literally. I'm probably completely missing this (wouldn't be surprised...

True Education is this: Learning how to learn. That's what schools should be teaching kids. But they don't. How many people out there have you run into that you tried to explain how to walk themselves through a simple concept, only for them to just completely abandon the idea after 5 minutes? What ...

What happens when they: 1) Can't borrow more money 2) Can't find someone to give them more money 3) Can't take more from the population and maintain their willing cooperation This is why these are democracies. Get it? Get it? If people do not want to pay anymore, they will either vote for somebody ...

Carver Mead has the answers on this one. http://www.amazon.com/Collective-Electrodynamics-Quantum-Foundations-Electromagnetism/dp/0262133784 Part 1, sect. 1.1; Magnetic flux = inductance*current total energy in loop, W = 0.5*inductance*current^2 Magnetic flux = n*quantum-fluxoid; n is an integer I ...

Lone fighter pilot controling a wing-UCAV or two? They'd better have great automation because fighter pilots get busy with one airplane. I think you will have plenty of geeks to have at least one, if not two pilots per UAV. I don't think you quite understand the difficulties in robotics. Having a 1...

Shipjack, I know you're smarter than this... As long as Socialism exists, Communism will never be dead. Communism is simply "grown up Socialism". You can NOT have Socialism long term without it becoming full fledged Communism. Sooner or later, some people will stand up and say "I'm sorry, no, you c...

The problem is that if education is expensive and there are no loans and grants for the people, you will end with a whole lot less educated people out there. Less well educated people means less know how and that means being less competitive on the international stage. The high prices of education ...

That's what I'm wondering... this answer is something you'd think has a straightforward "google it" answer, but it's not out there.
