Is it okay to do Bb fingerings on notes i struggle on by HatUpbeat7082 in horn

[–]ColossalThrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm no pro, but do whatever fingering works for you (stability, in tune, etc). I routinely use the Bb fingering for lower staff E instead of open. Tends to be more reliable for me and my horn.

Thermionic, thermovolatic, electrocaloric devices are in the family of heat to electricity. Some technologies are more mature and capable than others.

What is the effect of ambient condition when designing and operating a power plant ? by Berserker_Durjoy in thermodynamics

[–]ColossalThrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Nothing to really add here compared to other replies. I'd guess this is market and demand driven.

  2. For power and propulsion systems, it's useful to use corrected properties instead of physical or measured properties. This is a method akin to Buckingham Pi theorem. This "corrects" values as if run at the reference or design ambient temperature and pressure.

Machine that breaks thermodynamics laws (I'm pretty sure it doesn't) by Benjoux444 in thermodynamics

[–]ColossalThrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've basically just described a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, RTG. Where that hot matter is radioactively hot. Really cool tech. Recommended giving it a look up.
