    Can the Atmosphere Vortex Engine Generate Enough Power to Sustain a Small City?

    http://vortexengine.ca/index.shtml http://vortexengine.ca/VSC/AVE_WEB.pdf These websites might give you a better understanding. From the pdf file it shows a open roof and the tornado ascends miles into the sky. From the previous link on THESTAR it says it's likely they'll create the AVE...

    Can the Atmosphere Vortex Engine Generate Enough Power to Sustain a Small City?

    http://www.thestar.com/article/238291 Out of curiosity, in this article it says that a generator can produce on average 200 megawatts, just enough to power a small city. Does anyone know if they meant for a year or for a day?

    Medical Perceptual balance and sea legs

    I'd go with Moonbear's answer, It's probably an adaptation of our sensory receptors. Since you were on the boat for several days, your body accepted that as the norm of the situation, so when you got back on to rock solid land It was a shock to your sensory and it feels weird. It would be as if...

    Maximum - free fall dive into water

    Theres no definite answer for this problem is there? I mean people vary, and in order to solve this we would need numbers, such to turn it into a word problem. The max height would vary from person to person. A larger man would definitely sufffer from a greater impact since his surface area is...

    Exploring the Benefits and Risks of CYP1A1 Gene

    So 1)CYPs are good, necessary for removing xenobiotics. 2)They don't make toxins, just (could)activates those that are already in the body, such as those that has entered through drinking and smoking and make them more reactive, making this into a double edge sword type of situation. So it is...

    Exploring the Benefits and Risks of CYP1A1 Gene

    Does anyone have any background about this gene, CYP? It's been around for years now, but I'm really confuse as to what this actually does. I've been doing some research and different websites tell me different thing, some that contradicts with each other. For example, Cytochrome P450 1A1 or...

    Raising a child in different gravity

    Well if we were to look at other organisms, there was an experiment couple years back dealing with flies(?) I think. Anyways the result was that the ones brought up into space ended up living longer( messes with body's natural "Clock" which is dealt in quantum physics) however their reproductive...

    How can we justify that one life is more important than Another's?

    I don't think that is much of an issue considering how many people are in a population and the amount of children that population can spawn. If we eliminate a life from this world, and let's just say that fetus could have became the guy to discover cancer, it wouldn't affect the society very...

    Digestion-carbohydrate-ATP-energy efficiency

    Considering All flow of carbon in has ceased. But since many people are going to continue their use of oil the flow will continue but not as of a high rate as before. In addition, crops takes time. In the amount of time and space given, the crops would only act as a medium to contain the carbon...

    How can we justify that one life is more important than Another's?

    I completely agree. I'm sure this question has been asked before in the past. Did Aristotle or others in Ancient Greece ever question this issue? What do you believe from an epistemological or philosophical stand point? Concerning the issue of the Tibetans and their fight for independence from...

    How can we justify that one life is more important than Another's?

    So we can take account of experience and knowledge. That in my opinion certainly is important. But let's just say it was someone random, would person X's life still be more important than person Y's? Let's just look down at the basic, like abortion and the fetus. Isn't life still a life no...

    How can we justify that one life is more important than Another's?

    I know, but I'm looking at the concept of it, all sciences throughout the history. It has only been recent since it was declared a pseudoscience, but looking in context, many people accepted it B.C., such as China and India, mainly the East and the Orients. Which reminds me of the Chinese...

    Digestion-carbohydrate-ATP-energy efficiency

    Not very. When secondary and tertiary consumers consumes, energy is lost within the system. That explains why food webs at most only goes on up to 4 to 5 levels with humans at the top. So cows which consumes plant, would have less energy than the plant, since it is a larger organism and would...
