    Calculating power of a Turbocharger

    I'm guessing the system would be the air intake side of the engine, so volume should remain the same throughout. I don't think the outside volume should be part of the system.

    Calculating power of a Turbocharger

    Hi. My question is about the turbocharger itself and not about the resulting power increase from the added air in the combustion chamber. Can you calculate the power of a turbo if you have the change in pressure (atmospheric VS. Intake Manifold), and the change in temperature (outside air to...

    Big Bang & Doppler Effect: Viewing Start of Universe?

    Alright it's official; I'm in way over my head. :redface: I think I'll focus on the basics before trying to understand the news from deep space. I should mention I've only done 2 university level physics courses, but it can't hurt to explore the leading edge of physics. Thanks again for the...

    Big Bang & Doppler Effect: Viewing Start of Universe?

    I see...that is some mind-boggling stuff. What makes something opaque? And thanks for everybody's patience with my newbie questions lol.

    Big Bang & Doppler Effect: Viewing Start of Universe?

    So what you're saying is that at a certain point, the expansion rate was so great that the wavelengths are shifted beyond the known spectrum?

    Exploring the Possibility of Faster-Than-Light Travel at Big Bang

    Wow. That articles really showed me how little I know. I still maintain that the data we obtain from space cannot be used as true observable data. If space is expanding volumetrically, then any photons traveling have also receded from each other, giving an expanded picture, creating illusions of...

    Big Bang & Doppler Effect: Viewing Start of Universe?

    Wouldn't the Doppler effect stop us from seeing the beginning of the universe unless it starts approaching us? (or unless the universe stops expanding and begins retracting?)

    Pictures From Space: Exploring Dark Matter & Time-Space Warps

    Real pictures from Space? Most people have seen pictures the Hubble space telescope has taken of deep space. These objects are so far away that in fact the light we are seeing has traveled many light years before even being detected. But what could happen to light over these unimaginably...
