There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

As your older brother, I've been where you are—maybe not exactly, but close enough.

How do you build a windmill for electricity?

Well, if you know how to make a windmill then to make it make electricity follow these steps. Wind wire around a hollow small wooden box. Put a magnet inside the box. Glue the box closed, then attach the box to a rotor. Repeat for all rotors. Connect all the wires to either an appliance, or a capacitor. Good luck!


What is the difference between salient pole and non salient pole machines?

Rotors used in Synchronous alternators can be classified into 1)Salient and 2)Non-Salient Pole Rotors. Salient pole rotors are used in application with speeds from 100 to 1500rpm. They are alternative known as "projected pole" type of rotors. The poles mounted on the rotor are made of laminations made of steel. The poles are connected to the rotor shaft by means of dovetail joints. Each pole has a pole shoe around which the winding is wound. The salient pole rotor is generally used in applications where the prime mover is a hydel turbine or a combustion engine which have low or medium speeds. Salient pole rotors usually contain damper windings to prevent rotor oscillations during operation. Non-salient pole rotors are generally used in application which operate at higher speeds, 1500rpm and above. The prime movers in these applications are generally gas or steam turbines. These are sometimes known as "drum rotors". The rotor is a cylinder made of solid forged steel. The slots on which the windings are fixed are milled on the rotor. The number of poles is usually 2 or 4 in number. Since these rotors are cylindrical, the windage loss is reduced. The noise produced is also less. These rotors have higher axial length. These rotors do not need damper windings.


What type of supercharger has a positive displacement pump which consist of two rotors inside a housing?

turbo charger


Can an aircraft overcome lift without wings or propellers?

No, that is not possible except with rotors. (which I would include among propellers)


Changed pads rotors calipers brake hoses bled lines am getting fluid to the brakes there are no leaks brake pedal is stiff when engine is off but it loosens when engine starts no brakes why is this?

the master cylinder is whats bad
