energy

In my programme for the Cardiff v Newport this afternoon I saw an advert for Canterbury rugby equipment manufacturers' new "Ionised Energy Fabric". They say that "CCC BaseLayer IonX is revolutionary in apparel technology as it delivers ionic energy to the body through a negatively charged...

One for a patient physicist - coming from an electronics background I basically understand the emission of EM radiation/photons by oscillating charges, electron transition through a bandgap, nuclear decay and spontaneous emission, but can't seem to recall a conceptual mechanism for thermal, or...

The automated forum host keeps nagging me to post something, so here goes. Fire away. It involves an interesting little puzzle I thought you guys might like to take a stab at. The other day our local television station in one of those promotions designed to show how "green" the station is...

I was recently re-reading David Bodanis' "E=mc squared". He explained somewhat vaguely how Einstein had discovered the link between matter and energy, and said that if you wanted to know more, you could go to Bodanis' web site and the full rationale for Einstein's conclusions would be explained...

First, watch this... Now, let's discuss. I say no. Moonlight is simply reflected sunlight, polarized by reflection IIRC (and I may very well be mistaken on that one), and according to that paragon of information Wikipedia, about 1/400 000 (or .00025%) as intense as sunlight. Of course...

I just found this interesting article on Cnet's news.com (copy&paste begins here since I can't post links) "Ethanol from coal? If it works, it could solve three major problems for the energy industry. Researchers at Louisiana State University, along with colleagues from Clemson University and...

You thought you'd heard every bird-brained theory about 9/11? Well, this guy has a new one for you. The Pentagon was designed to channel energy. It extends 4,000 feet below the surface. Don't be fooled by what the Man has told you. http://www.youtube.com/v/Y9cyYZixW54

I briefly considered posting this under the Conspiracy forum, but the core of my question is pure science, so here it stays. One of the CT theories about the destruction of the WTC involves the use of an antimatter weapon. I didn't know too much about antimatter, but the Wikipedia article is...

Hey guys Anyone on this board involved with national level energy data or modelling in your respective countries? My PhD is in this area and on the off chance there are some experts floating around on this board, I'd be interested in chatting to you! Cheers

http://www.energytower.org/index.html#calculations Looks quite complex. Can it work?

Hey. I had a discussion with a friend about matter and energy. I was under the impression that: - that matter and energy are fundamentally made out of the same stuff. - atoms are made of certain particles (electrons, protons, neutrons) which are actually exactly the same just in different...

Now I found this offer a bit dubious. But what say you, a genuinely working product or example of weird woo? I'm particularly wondering about that Energy Bar thing and am left wondering about their definition of "energy" Maybe Randi should invite Philips to apply for the million dollar price...

Hello I have a couple theories for perpetual motion. What would be good software for testing them. Free software would be better. Thank you for your time.

Can someone PLEEEEASE sit down with the believers and explain to them what ENERGY is???? This is from the Evil Skeptoid Debunkatron podcast (http://skeptoid.com): ======= The Evil Skeptoid Debunkatron is feeling a little low today, so he's going to tap into a source of energy from a...

I have a flashlight and a radio where it's sole source of power is my muscles turning a little lever on the radio and recharging it. Somehow the kinetic energy of my muscles is transferred into electricity and stored inside of the radio or flashlight. It only takes a few turns of the wheel to...

Hi, I've been a long time lurker here on the boards and when i ran across this link here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060818/bs_afp/irelandscienceenergy on the very front page of Yahoo! News I thought to myself "well better fire up the JREF forums and see what the evidence really indicates"...

Once again we have claims of free energy. They say they want the scientific community to have a look before they commercialize the product. Hey, why bother with the science, if you really have a magical device that makes energy why not just sell them. I'm sure the free market will respond well...

Hi I havent been around for a bit but like that bad penny :-) But I gots a serious question and Im hoping for some ideas. I come back cause I need some help on this, and this is a great place to get some creative thought. My friend who (I brought this up last time I was here) Im happy to say...

A couple of friends are thinking about taking a course in some kind of energy healing. I think they are interested in doing something fun and useful, possibly also searching for some meaning and purpose to what can seem an empty life. I’d like to nip this course of action in the bud, in hope of...
