Viscosity
The property of a liquid that makes it resist flow or any change in the arrangement of its molecules. The higher the viscosity, the "thicker" a liquid seems.
 

  Physics Quote


It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.
    Sir Arthur Eddington (1882 - 1944)

Entirely Rotational Internal Combustion Hydrogen Engine

With the ever-looming threat imposed by dwindling fossils fuel supplies, we constantly need to develop and improve the efficiency of our engines. One of the safest alternate fuel sources to crude oil is hydrogen. Our current engine designs, however, are very wasteful in the method of converting fuel into motion. Using hydrogen as a fuel makes those inefficiencies even more pronounced. Here is a design that attacks some of those inefficiencies, the E.R.I.C.H. engine.
Tapping the Vacuum Energy with Nanotechnology?

Is the dream of tapping into the vacuum energy by exploiting the uncertainty principle a hoax? There seems to be very little doubt that an ambient energy level exists in the vacuum devoid of matter, even if this energy is due strictly to the uncertainty demanded by quantum mechanics, but can such energy be tapped to produce power? Knowing thermodynamics, I had never thought twice about the impracticality of the idea, until I thought of a very simple idea using nanotechnology.
Controlled Fusion with Nanotechnology - Hydrogen Trap
Author: Erich Schoedl
 Added: 02/16/2003
 Type: Summary

This article discusses fusion, and proposes an alternative way to control this potentially wonderful energy source. How do we use the strengths of nano-technology to our advantage, and can we design a method to extract the energy more efficiently? Rather than viewing the fuel as a tub of gasoline to ignite and burn into a giant solar blaze, imagine it as carefully contained pulses – like a fuel-injected engine. Links included.
