How much of a slope does a gutter need to function properly?
A 1mm drop in one metre, or a slope of 2 degrees. The aqueducts of the Roman Empire all had a 2 degree drop . This would make the water flow without surging. There also would no need for animals to lift water or turn an Archimedian Screws.
How many barrels a day can a horizontal oil well produce?
Unfortunately, there is not good answer. The flow into a horizontal well will depend on the formation and oil properties. This can be stated as transmissibility = Ko x h/ visc where Ko is the oil permeability, h is the formation thickness and visc is the oil viscosity. It can be more complicated than this, but the higher this transmissibility, the higher the initial flow rate. Of course, the extent of the horizontal well is also important, and artificial lift may be used to increase flow.
How many calories does it take to raise 1 kg 1 meter?
The work done is transformed into potential energy (in the object lifted) so W = m x g x dz where W = Work m = mass g = acceleration due to gravity dz = change in height => W = 1kg x 1m x 9.81m/s/s => W = 9.81J 1J = 0.239 calories => It takes 2.345 calories to lift 1kg by 1m NOTE These are "real" calories. The calories usually talked about in relation to dieting etc are kilo-calories so to equate this value to the calories in a chocolate bar, divide by 1000

What does the ratio on a roller rocker mean?
The rocker arm ratio (whether they be stock or roller rockers) has to do with the offset of the rocker fulcrum. The stock rocker ratio on the small block Chevy is 1.5:1. This is important because it effects your valve lift. For example, a camshaft with .300 lobe lift will yield a .450 valve lift with the stock 1.5 ratio rockers. Multiply the lobe lift times the rocker ratio to get your valve lift. Now, that same camshaft will yield .480 lift with a 1.6 ratio rocker arm and .510 lift with a 1.7 ratio rocker arm. More lift is good as long as your valve springs can handle the extra lift and you don't run into valve/piston interference problems. You are more likely to run into coil bind with the valve springs than an interference problem though. When in doubt, make sure to check just to make sure there will be no problems.

Why do engine lifters wear?
As with anything mechanical the springs or hydraulics eventually lose their ability to properly lift the valve back up quickly, which causes valve float and loss of power at the top end of the engine.
