The question is will 12,100 pounds of molten salt at a temperature of 1050 stored in a 3� by 8� storage tank run through a heat exchanger generate enough steam to run this generator for 4 hours?

If not then how much will be needed?

[Q] Question about a VERY old news post.

Xero~ — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 08:32:16 GMT

I remember an article from back in 2005-2006 about scientists conducting an experiment and "creating" life in a simulated environment of what they expected the Earth may have been like when life first came about... C1ay, I think you're the one who posted it.

I've tried searching and looking for it myself (and I am continuing to look for it) but if anyone can help me out, please do.

This was one of the first articles posted.

PS
Yeah I'm an old school vet.

[Q] Smoke rings

paigetheoracle — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:44:36 GMT

Watching a Western on the TV recently, I noticed that when some gunpowder exploded, it created a gigantic smoke ring, where the inside poured up and outwards, going back down and then through the middle again - what causes this and is this the same mechanism at work as blowing smoke rings as I should assume?

[Q] Why is red glass so rare?

Moontanman — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:22:51 GMT

I collect red glass, it is very difficult to find, almost all of what is sold as red glass is really clear glass died red on the outside. What makes red glass so rare?

[Q] Stem Cells

brad8134 — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:44:13 GMT

I am Interested on people from a scientific perspective and their views regarding stem cell research and embryonic stem cells. As of right now isn't the big hype about embryonic stem cells all a theory? I have heard that china is making a break through in the research but China seems to SAY a lot and actually be doing little. So what are your Ideas?

[Q] Scientific Dating Methods

brad8134 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:01:12 GMT

Hello People. I am writing to ask about dating methods. Are all scientific dating methods accurate past a thousand years? For instance The New York Times Thursday, August 4, 1988 published an article of planes that had gone down in WW2 and were under 260 feet of Ice. I know that if 260 feet of ice took 45 years then there is know way we could get millions of years with Ice Core Dating especially since the the rings can be caused from heating and cooling of the earths surface during seasons.

[Q] How was this achieved?

Hey Guys and Gals.

I saw this video and after watching many times and asking friends what they thought...wanted to know if any of you could shed some light on it.

The video can be found here. Aurgasm | your favorite music you've never heard
It's title is "Gentle Fireworks."

Here is a link to the direct Video:
Ólafur Arnalds - Ljósið (Official Music Video) on Vimeo

The effect looks like dancing smoke and such. I don't know if its a digital effect or a program. What I would love to know is...how was this done?

Is this an actual reaction of some kind or what? Any information you can give me so I can do this would be GREAT!

Thanks a TON in advance,
OP5
