The analogy is that voltage is like water pressure, so how does distance increase that?

I thought it broke down chemicals like water into it's constituent elements of hydrogen and oxygen.

Well, yeah. I believe that's what they're doing. It is a needle in a haystack though at this point. And I'd bet that they tried looking for it before they announced publicly that it had been lost. I just wondered if it would have a strong glow at night under night vision and would perhaps stand out.

Well, there goes my weekend

Good point about the toxins still being in water but living organisms can multiply so they'll usually be more dangerous merely because they continue creating new toxins as time goes on.

It is actually a little bit of evolutionary fluke that, in us, the electrical path from one hand to the other hand goes directly through our heart.

As a result, electricity is far more dangerous to us than to life in general.

You have the power to change that habit.

Both! Aluminum is extremely common and it's readily recycled!

The reason that we recycle so much of it is because it's actually cheaper and easier that making the new stuff.

If everything was like aluminum, it would go a long way to solving sustainably issues.

> Pure water electrolyses if you try hard enough. It's just silly inefficient.

You have to be trying really really hard though. There's a classic demo where you can make water maintain a bridge between two beakers, by putting a decent few kV across it. You need to use extremely pure water to avoid electrolysis, which is pretty successful.

> > Table salt is normally not used by people doing electrolysis. Other salts such as sodium/potassium hydroxide, or if nothing better is at hand, sodium (bi)carbonate, are safer, similarly cheap, and also do the job better.

Well.. It's actually pretty common, but not for when people want to make hydrogen. The Chloralkali process (i.e. NaCl hydrolysis) is the primary industrial method for producing tens of millions of tons of chlorine and sodium hydroxide.

I'm amped up to see the next pun someone comes up with.

Turbojets can work for takeoff and low speed, where ramjets and scramjets will not. However, they have more moving parts and are therefore heavier per thrust.

Ramjets cannot operate with superaonic airflow through the engine, and thus must slow down the intake air highspeeds, reducing supersonic efficiency.

Scramjets are very efficient at supersonic speeds but very inefficient at low speeds.

Due to initial speed requirements, ramjets and scramjets are reserved for niche high-speed applications.

They are definitely interchangeable. I look at a journal as a Journey of life or time (goals, list, things that one would just jot down).. a dairy to me seems to be more sacred , private thoughts ,almost like your talking to yourself but putting it on paper .

Some googling seems to suggest you very much can microwave flies. There are however some spots inside a microwave that don't receive as much energy, so a fly might survive if it largely stays within those points.

Besides which, microwaves don't work by electrocuting what's put inside them.

Shocking, right?

True turbojet engines don't have any bypass ratio at all. Even a low-bypass jet engine is still a turbofan engine, not a true turbojet.

I don't think this is true. Please cite a source.

> edit: just watched the vid, hillarious, they are just disolving the toxic metal particles in the water holy moly and use distilled non conductive water for the "proof". Yay humanity!

It might not be toxic.

Looked like steel, so you're primarily just producing iron oxide (rust) and dumping that into/onto the water. But also whatever else is alloyed into the steel. And I still wouldn't touch it.

They wanted to pump it up

Oh^m

Are there any pros/cons for each? Is one the future and one the "old fashioned" type? What would make aircraft designers pick one over the others?

Thank you in advance!

Hey, now!

Direct electricity would not get you the effect you want, but UV wands exists that can do what you’re saying. People use them for backpacking and camping.
