How does the Snowy Mountains scheme work?

There were (and continue to be) both positive and negative effects of the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme for Australians.

During its construction, many people were displaced from their homes and, while they were offered new homes, these could not replace the memories or the fact that their families had lived in those homes for generations. The original town of Adaminaby was completely dismantled and moved to higher ground to make way for Lake Eucumbene, which would feed the Scheme. Many people lost their livelihood as well: stock (cattle, horses, etc) was no longer permitted to be grazed in the High Country.

Safety was an issue. The workers were under pressure to complete the Scheme in the quickest possible time, so were "encouraged" to work longer hours, and offered bonuses for doing so. This meant that sometimes dangerous shortcuts were taken. Over the time of the Scheme's construction, there were 121 deaths on the worksites: 35 of these occurred during tunnel construction, while the rest were on the roads in and around the sites.

However, during its construction the scheme was a valuable source of employment, for tens of thousands of Australians and post-war immigrants who fled their war-torn countries. The Scheme offered these people the chance to rebuild their lives in a new country, with opportunities they would not have otherwise had. As one of the wonders of the engineering world, the Scheme involves sixteen dams, seven power stations, a pumping station and over 225 km of tunnels, pipelines and aqueducts, so both skilled workers and labourers were attracted to the scheme.

The Snowy Mountains Scheme has many advantages still now. It generates electricity and redistributes water to the Murray River, where it is used for farming and irrigation. The total electricity capability is up to about 3700 MW, which works out to roughly 10% of the needs of New South Wales, though this depends on having enough rainfall and melting snow.

How did the black box flight recorder get its name?

the story I've been told is that when the search and rescue teams find the black box, its covered in black ashes, etc. Really there orange or an other bright color (except for training ones, there usually black so its harder to find them)

What is the height of a 220 kv tower?

It depends on the country you're in (what codes apply), local utility standards, land being crossed (is it hilly?), type of structure/configuration of wires, and the distance between towers. At its' lowest point, the conductor could hang ~25 feet off the ground.

What are the benefits for being an environmental engineer?

As an ecologist, you get to learn intellectual things about nature.

you could even a run a campaign to tell people about your findings in the field and teach them about how to make the world a greener place.

Is the small prong positive or negative?

POSITIVE and NEGATIVE are Direct Current (DC) terms In Alternating Current (AC) terms it is: HOT-LEG (brass colored screw) and NEUTRAL (silver colored screw) On polarized plugs 120volts, the larger prong is the neutral

Rms value of sum of two sine waves?

question is not clear. RMS is .707 of peak. If you're asking about sums of currents or voltages represented by sine waves and they don't have the same frequency then the sum's RMS value is the square root of the sum of the squared amplitudes of the two waves. The squared amplitudes are proportional to the power in each current or voltage and the result represents the sum of the powers.

If the two sine waves have the same frequency then the sum's RMS value is the sum of the two RMS values. The physical circuit has to add power to the signal. (if the amplitudes are equal the resultant will have 4 times the power)

How much fuel does a 777 hold?

A Boeing 777 airliner can carry between 31,000 and 48,000 gallons of fuel. This provides a range of between 6,000 and 11,000 miles.

What are some engineering careers that start with the letter z?

A java engineer is one career that begins with a letter J. Junior level engineer is another one that starts with this letter.
Java Engineer

What is the equation of sun?

Sun is a star not a chemical compound; any chemical equation for Sun.

Sun contain hydrogen, helium and other minor elements.

What is vacuum in engineering terms?

It is an empty space- A space where there is no matter. A perfect vacuum has no gas.

How many 125 watt bulbs can be used on a 15amp circuit?

Assuming that your voltage is 120 volts the maximum wattage on that circuit is W = A x V = 15 x 120 = 1800 watts. Code only allows circuits to be loaded up to 80% capacity. 1800 x .8 = 1440. 1440/25 = 57 lamps.

Assuming that your voltage is 240 volts the maximum wattage on that circuit is W = A x V = 15 x 240 = 3600 watts. If the question is from a 240 volt country you will have to find out what the local electrical regulations are for circuit loading.

Practical application of red black tree of data structure?

Red-black trees are typically used in real-time applications, where worst-case guarantees are vital. Red-black trees often form the basis of other tree structures, including AVL trees and LLRB trees. Computational geometry, scheduling and language dictionaries are other possible applications for RB-based trees. They are also used in functional programming as a persistent data structure.

Why current flows perpendicular to equipotential surface?

because the electrons are trying to stay as far away from each other as possible (like repels like)

imagine a ball with strips of paper attached to it. if the papers lay flat or angle any way but a 90 degree, they with touch the ones in front or behind. the only way to be away from each other is to be at right angles along the ball.

Why do some helicopters have different numbers of blades?

If you mean rotor blades, theoretically, only one (provided it is counterbalanced and moves fast enough). But you'll typically see two or more. Helicopters use more than one because it requires less rotor speed to get the same lift, and it also runs a lower risk of failure in the mechanical systems. Many rotocraft use four or five, and some up to six or seven blades. There are a few helicopters that use two main rotors, and they are counter rotating so that their torque cancels and a tail rotor is not necessary. But the mechanical complexity of these main rotor systems impinges on mechanical reliability.

What is the weight capacity of a suspension bridge?

A suspension bridge is designed to have cables suspended between towers plus vertical suspender cables that carry the weight of the roadway below. The Golden Gate Bridge is a great example of this type of bridge and is considered an engineering marvel.
