Just be careful when you read in Maxwell's theory that when "the four equations" are explained--those are NOT Maxwell's equations...

What are you two talking about? When I go to that site, it is a foreign language that I have never seen before. PDF?

That's great, that's too funny. Yesterday I watched Jay Leno's vid on his steam car collection. I didn't thimk I would enjoy it, but...

Yes, yes and yes. However, that frictional loss IS energy loss (heat loss). I suspect the back and forth thru the same passage, as you...

Yes, you are correct. I was not clear on what I meant. What I am thimking is that, say you have a part 4 units long but it is broken...

Of course.

I have been making ER holders for the 1-1/2" spindle on my lathe. I recieved ER32s just now in the mail. Am making ER 32, 40, 50 and...

Thankyew, however, I did point out (caveats with that plate of ice cream and strawberries.) Well, did you like the plot?

More rubbish, please.

I would have said "decide what power you want" which of course dictates the volume of the cylinder X the pressure X CPM (cycles per...

Well thanx for showing me that "designing steam engines" forum. My big problem with this particular discussion is that nowhere do I see...

that is not possible. To have a return pressure greater than the steam pressure would be going against the law of conservation of...
