Some people prefear to go on thinking that the Einstein’s relativity
theory is right , thinking that  matter cannot reach and substain light
velocity, because in this case  matter would have an infinitive mass ,
and it would be necessary to transfer to it an infinitive quantity of
energy to reach light velocity.
At the same time the physics substain that at elemental material level
the time does not exist and that in normal conditions it is not possible
to travel in the time.
As opposite to what mentioned before, the writer, after 20 years of
research out of the pubblic ufficial circuit of the physical research, 
can prove that things  are different.
Some examples of his  theories follows:
-The conception of time and space given by Einstein Relativity  is
completly inconsistent applied to the case of light velocity of the
matter and the time is translated by some physical, heavy consistent
material particles but normally invisible.
In many cases the theories substained by the physics are uncomplete or
inadeguated to describe the reality, but  because of their lack to give
an explanation to the real phenomenons; they continue to substain that
their concepts is the only truth, thing that is false in the reality.
- The Writer gives some information about: 1) travels of matter at light
velocity in present time, 2) the explanation of the natural composition
of the elemental particles that translate the time in the matter, 3) the
explanation of the forces unification, where it is explained the natural
formation in the sub-elemental particles of the electricity, of the
magnetism and the gravity, 4) explanation of matter at null temperature,
where the quarks can be visible and free, because they are stopped in
the space, expanded and enlarged 10(18 ) times or 1 billion of billions
of times and they are freely visible at naked eyes for about 10 minutes
and they reveal their true physical nature as physical particles.
The Writer brings explanations and  ascertained cases which confutate
the Einstein’s relativity theory substaining that the matter can not
travel at light velocity. 
The contrary is possible. It is given the right explanation of the whole
physical world (included that the real physical structure of the space
is " not "empty" , but it has a completly different structure  
" normally " not ascertainable ").
End of December 1996 it will be ready a book , entitled "THE
QUADRIDIMENSIONAL UNIVERSE", where  in about 420 pages with colour
photos and pictures , the writer explains these theories and many other
concepts  not already reached by the officials science.

REQUEST FOR COLLABORATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH.
We make research and actually we are completly financed by a committent.
For new researches we would like to have the collaboration of Industrial
Partners, interested in introducing advanced items in their market.
Every item is patented or can be patented.  
In Europe there is the possibility for Partners to have E.C.C. founds to
whom we are not interested in any way. We are looking for financial
Partners and for laboratories too in order to realize practically and
industrially our discoveries.
	These are some of the fields we are working in :
1 - INDUSTRIAL INSULATION
	The subtitution of the actual insulating materials ( plastic foams,
rock wool ) generally known to have long term defects and ecological
problems with new insulating elements e.g. special foamed and not foamed
and dense glass or ceramic elements, ecologically perfect and lasting 20
- 50 year
and recycling possibility.
2 - METAL PRODUCTION
	We have developed a new metal-organic ecological route to obtain
metals; e.g. magnesium, titanium, zirconium, silicon, aluminium, so
saving energy.
3 - High temperature service development of a stable SELF EXTINGUISHING
epoxy resin with electrical high insulation power 
	Epoxy resins and epoxy foams for long term usage at 200° C / 250° C for
continuos service.
4 - RAPID ULTRAVIOLET PRODUCTION OF SPECIAL URETHANE - ACRILATE
	Abrasion resistant, excellent flexibility and stability for films,
flooring protection, car protection, paper protection, metal and mortar
protection. Unlimited applications for item protection.
5 - NEW RESINS
	High temperature, oil, grease, water, solvent resistant till 300° C.
	We are engaged in many types of researches, from plastic to ceramic, to
ceramic superconductors etc.
If You think to have the same interest in our researches, or if You have
specific items to subject us along with our type of research, or if You
are interested in financing, receiving an eventual license or if You are
interested in a local collaboration with us,
please send an E-MAIL and we would be glad to answer You

"In a hurry" and "getting a Ph.D." are mutually exclusive.

Have you heard of the Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race (GNCTR)? 
It's an annual inter-university design competition.  It started out
Canadian, but in the last couple of years American and even European
teams have entered.  Contraints include the fact that the base of the
sled is made of concrete.  Judging is based on speed, braking ability

Subject: Entrainment of Air Streams
From: "JAVA Contracting Corp."
Date: 26 Nov 1996 16:23:10 GMT
I am designing an air handling unit. The Air handler will move 3000CFM with a paddle fan. 
The air flow stream will be partially rejected to the oudoors and 
part of it will be returned to the interior space. A secondary air stream will 
be introduced as make-up air in the return air stream of the forced
flow from the fan. The streams will be brought together in such a manner
that the outside air stream will be drawn into the interior space 
by  venturi/entrainment effect.
I would like to be able to calculate this entrainment flow. It has been suggested
that a momentum calculation is necessary. Is there a simple emperical 
equation that would give me a good estimate of the flow based on the 
forced flow and areas of the various air passages?
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Subject: Engineering a homebrewery design
From: mdallara@kcii.com (Mark Dallara)
Date: Tue, 26 Nov 1996 17:21:30 GMT
Greets,
I'm preparing to take my brewing to the next level: all-grain brewing and
using a keg fridge/lagering chest.  I've been researching the processes
and equipment, hanging out at my local brew store and several hardware
stores, and checking out the various websites which describe homebrewers'
setups in detail.  (Many thanks to those of you who take the time to put
up such pages... they are an excellent resource for those of us trying to
save money while designing our own homebreweries!)
When I finally get around to updating my website, I plan to outline my
design and include a link list to all the sites I can find that describe
homebrewery setups.
In the meantime, some of the more persistent challenges (and my thoughts
on them) are briefly outlined below for comment:
*	How can I quickly heat liquor tanks and boiling pots indoors 
	(i.e. without propane burners)?  
I'm reading about RIMS-type setups now, and it sounds great for 
mashing, but probably insufficient for boiling.  I thought about
suspending an array of hot water heater elements just above the brew, but
the guy at Ace Hardware said that the steam could screw up the rest of the
components.
*	What's the best way to transfer wort?
Gravity is a pain because of the height required for a three-barrel
system.  Pumps can fail.  But hand pumps look like a good solution.  The
McMaster catalog has two different hand pumps that might fit the bill... I
just have to make sure that the hot wort can contact BUTA-n and Delrin
without problems.  
*	What are the best (i.e. cheapest effective) items to use for mash
	kettles and boiling pots?  The brew stores want a hundred or so for
	a barrel with the proper fittings... is there a better solution?
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.  I'm excited about this
particular home project, and any helpful hints will speed me toward an
optimized solution.
Thanks,

Subject: Solution strategies for non-linear finite-element analysis
From: LADAK@bmeucl.medcor.mcgill.ca ()
Date: 26 Nov 1996 17:40:10 GMT
Hello,
I am analyzing the geometrically non-linear behaviour of a thin elastic
shell using the finite-element method. The solution procedure I am using
involves incrementing the load in small steps, and at each step,
performing full Newton-Raphson iterations to obtain displacements. At some
load steps, the procedure fails to converge. (The convergence criterion I
use requires that the ratio of the Euclidean norms of the iterative
displacement vector and the total displacement vector is less than 0.001.)
When the solution fails to converge, the convergence criterion oscillates
in the range 0.047-0.049.
1) What can be the possible causes of this behaviour? (e.g., limit points,
etc)
2) What solution strategies can I try?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Subject: Help! Need Solenoid Valve for PWM
From: "Michael R. Whitchurch"
Date: Tue, 26 Nov 1996 11:30:22 -0600
Hello!
I am looking for a solenoid valve that can be controlled with pulse-
width modulation.  I think this may also be known as a proportional
solenoid valve.  I want to regulate the flow rate of water to a set
of spray nozzles.  The valve will be placed in-line between a
centrifugal pump and the nozzles.
My specs are:
	Fluid: Water
	Ports: 3/4" NPT
	Flow Rate: 0 - 5 GPM
	Pressure: 20 - 120 psi (inlet)
	Voltage: Any
	NO/NC: Either
Thanks in advance for the help.

Mark,
Check out rec.crafts.brewing.  They spend a lof time talking about this sort of thing.  
Also, go to the brewery at www.alpha.rollanet.  Finally, if kcii is in the kansas City

I'd like to hear a little more about this.  Especially the "team spirit"
part.  The speed and braking can be measured, and even with a 
stopwatch.  How do we measure "spirit?"  Do they use an 
"applause-o-meter?"  :-) :-) :-)
A more appropriate question is, do they consider maneuverability?
I have no idea whether a concrete sled can be turned at all -- but if
one can, then the capability of turning would be more objective to 
measure than "team spirit."  Give the spirited contestants T-shirts
but give the good designers scholarships.  :-)

Check out on the WEB the various U.S. univerities with wind tunnels such

Truck companies don't have wind tunnels of their own and go to
universities or aerospace companies and NASA to do their research.

Just a comment on the down side.
They use asimilar product for airplane tie-downs. I've known of several
aircraft destroyed when the anchors pulled out of the ground.
The anchors don't work well for tension loads, try to keep the loading
perpindicular to the spiral axis. They don't work well in soft materials
like wet ground, sand, gravel.

I suspect that the behavior you observed was due to orientation of the
plastic at the tip of the cut. Under Mode I opening load, the material at
the cut tip would yield. It is likely that the polymer molecules are
re-orienting themselves perpendicular to the cut, making the material
locally stronger and more difficult to cut. Smooth cuts probably result
from a stress state that does not make a large plastic zone at the tip of
the cut.

Subject: heat shields / coatings
From: phudson@rohan.sdsu.edu (hudson)
Date: 26 Nov 1996 23:58:36 GMT
Hi,
So here's the problem...Hot exhaust gases (~500-600 deg F) are impinging 
on an airplane wing (7075 al mostly) causing thermal strains and material 
degradation.  Does anyone have any experience with thermal barrier type 
coatings that could be applied to the wing skin to protect the wing from 
as much damage?  A thermal survey of the area indicates an area about 5 
square feet is too hot.  
Some constraints.  Ideally the skin would remain inspectable and could be 
painted to match the original scheme.  (yes the paint is charred in the 
area).  Skin temperatures are measured at about 180 deg F.  Also it is a 
retrofit to an existing airframe so the coating process should avoid 
dissasembly.
Does anyone have experience I can draw from solving a similar problem?  
Is there a better place to ask this question?  I've spent a lot more time 
with structural analysis than processes and coatings.
 thanks in advance,
-Peter-

I don't have details, but you could try to get in touch with the
Canadian ??Council/congress/federation?? of Enginering Students (I
forget the exact name).  They would probably know more.  Otherwise, try
the department of civil engineering at the U of Alberta.  (Their

The whole point is to have fun and a little friendly competition, and
meet people.  In that way it's not a true design competition.
I remember the year it was held here in Edmonton, the winning sled had
an almost instantaneous braking time.  Must have been interesting to

Another consideration with backing rings is they form a crevice which can be 
an initiation site for corrosion, depending on what your process fluid is. 
Our normal practice is not to use them.
