How do you build a model windmill for a garden?
To be able to build a wind turbine generator (or windmill generator as its sometimes referred) you will need to obtain a good guide.
The guide should include, but not limited to-
- Step by step video instructions
- Plans explained in simple to follow English
- Diagrams with captions
- Information on components
- Details of considerations before beginning and calculations used to determine size and suitability etc
- Links to government and other governing bodies regarding grants/subsidies/tax relief
- Contact information should you need any further assistance
All this and much more can be found at the following page

Why are ping-pong balls flamable?
because they are made with a chemical caled "canfer", which is highly flamable.
What are the disadvantage of modern science?
The disadvantage of modern science is that there are a lot of regulations on it. Also with modern science sometimes the cost of health care can sky rocket because of the new discovered or implemented technology.
Creep speed is a very slow, constant rate of motion of the trolley or bridge, usually established at 1% to 10% of the normal full speed. It is used on hoists, bridges, and trolleys.
What are some uses for cast iron?
cookware, furniture, support material for roofs
historical usage - cannon, shots
+++
Oh, and many other things besides. Both conventional Cast-Iron and its "Malleable Cast-Iron" species, are very important thanks to their properties; and the main material for engine-blocks, machine-tool beds, valve-bodies, pump and motor casings, pipe-fittings and a host of other mechanical-engineering components.
What is micro meter least count?
Generally least count of micrometer varies instrument to instrument.. But common micrometers which are used in institute level laboratories have least count of 0.0001mm
textile fabric finishing machine,dry and shrink and adjust parameters of open width fabric also use for chemical finishing of fabric.
you compress and release the pressure on the quartz buy changing the electrical polarity (force)
the speed of sound in the crystal determines the frequency
so for about 1000 ft / second if the quartz is about .01' 1/8" thick you get about
100khz
applying more pressure increases the amplitude making the frequency lower
too much power (force, pressure) you will break the crystalo
What university n Ghana offers admission for petrochemical engineering?
kwame Nkrumah university of science and technology(TEC)
Where can someone learn about audio engineering?
There are a wide variety of online resources which detail information about audio engineering. The blogger Ben Gribaudo, for example, lists some of the best web resources that provide this service.
Why students are learn engineering graphics?
There are college or university courses in graphic engineering. For instance the Camosun College in British Columbia offers a Certificate in Engineering Graphics Technician. Information is also available from Wikipedia, or from your local public library.
What man was responsible for the development of the Northern and Southern ironclads?
The Union ironclad Monitor was designed by Swedish inventor John Ericsson. The Merrimack (also known as the Virginia) was a conventional wooden hull that was converted to an ironclad according to a design prepared by Lt. John Mercer Brooke of the Confederate navy. However, although the 1862 battle between these two ships became legendary, ironclad warships had been used since the early 1850s by the French and British, so the attribute of "ironclad inventor" is unclear.
What are the ways to cycle a Torque wrench?
Put the wrench to it's highest setting and "break" it or cycle it 6 times. We have a plate welded to a steel beam that has a socket welded to the plate for the use of cycling our torque wrenches. Make sure it is stored in its lowest setting. :)
Describe the stability requirement of ship for drydocking?

Is a bar-code on a given product the same from country to country?
Barcodes follow their own standards, google "bar code types" or look at the wikipedia entry. Countries tend to not have set standards, different organizations, depending on how large and diverse their inventory is, use different barcode types.
Same as dual rail :
some form of power turns the wheels that hold the train up.
It's just that you can design a monorail with side curtains that hide the wheels from view.
P.M.A.' stands for 'Positive Mental Attitude'. From Wikipedia; "Positive mental attitude, is a psychological term which describes a mental phenomenon in which the central idea is that one can increase achievement through optimistic thought processes" In the philippines, PMA stands for Philippine Military Academy.
A survelliance audit is a process where current procedures are checked and verified against the company's quality management system.
How do you measure geometric features?
GEOMETRICAL GEATURES (Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- "earth", -metria "measurement") is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. Geometry is one of the oldest mathematical sciences. Initially a body of practical knowledge concerning lengths, areas, and volumes, in the 3rd century BC geometry was put into an axiomatic form by Euclid, whose treatment-Euclidean geometry-set a standard for many centuries to follow.[1] Archimedes developed ingenious techniques for calculating areas and volumes, in many ways anticipating modern integral calculus. The field of astronomy, especially mapping the positions of the stars and planets on the celestial sphere and describing the relationship between movements of celestial bodies, served as an important source of geometric problems during the next one and a half millennia. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer.
The introduction of coordinates by René Descartes and the concurrent development of algebra marked a new stage for geometry, since geometric figures, such as plane curves, could now be represented analytically, i.e., with functions and equations. This played a key role in the emergence of infinitesimal calculus in the 17th century. Furthermore, the theory of perspective showed that there is more to geometry than just the metric properties of figures: perspective is the origin of projective geometry. The subject of geometry was further enriched by the study of intrinsic structure of geometric objects that originated with Euler and Gauss and led to the creation of topology and differential geometry.
In Euclid's time there was no clear distinction between physical space and geometrical space. Since the 19th-century discovery of non-Euclidean geometry, the concept of space has undergone a radical transformation, and the question arose which geometrical space best fits physical space. With the rise of formal mathematics in the 20th century, also 'space' (and 'point', 'line', 'plane') lost its intuitive contents, so today we have to distinguish between physical space, geometrical spaces (in which 'space', 'point' etc. still have their intuitive meaning) and abstract spaces. Contemporary geometry considers manifolds, spaces that are considerably more abstract than the familiar Euclidean space, which they only approximately resemble at small scales. These spaces may be endowed with additional structure, allowing one to speak about length. Modern geometry has multiple strong bonds with physics, exemplified by the ties between pseudo-Riemannian geometry and general relativity. One of the youngest physical theories, string theory, is also very geometric in flavour.
While the visual nature of geometry makes it initially more accessible than other parts of mathematics, such as algebra or number theory, geometric language is also used in contexts far removed from its traditional, Euclidean provenance (for example, in fractal geometry and algebraic geometry).[2]
What is a engineers vice used for?
a tail vice is mostly used in design technology, it holds your work-piece firmly.
Fazlur Rhaman Khan is an architect and structural engineer. He was regarded as the "father of tubular design for highrises". The influence of Khan's tube structure design can be seen in numerous buildings built since the 1960's.
