yes cars can fly

2005-10-10T10:39:00.000-07:00

This may just seem chimerical but it is possible. why cant cars fly? it is because the earth's gravitational force will pull it down.so what can be done abou that.Well this is what i propose.

Gravitation is a "Force", so it done some action on the car,and the reaction is that the car, if it flys, will fall down.I want to take an analogous case of a magnet.
The force that a magnet has is magnetic "force" . A magnet will have two sides north and south
and these two will attract.But if two north's are brought together then they will repel. If we can induce the same force i,e,. of the type that the earth has to the car and in the same direction then we can actually get the earth to repel the car ,so we dont need any fuel.Even the rockets can be put into orbit in the same way.
We can also allude this hypothesis to the electro magnetic cars
or trains which are run by giving opposite charges to the track and the wheel.so if we can just find out what are the characteristics of the earths force and how can it be induced to other lighter bodies.Every body will have its own gravitational force which depends on its mass .If we can amplify the gravitational force of the individual bodies but by keeping the mass constant,i believe that it will not be long when we can see the cars flying literally and really.

can cars fly?

2005-09-03T11:30:00.000-07:00

I get intregued by the sky,not the universe which we can not see but the blue sky that we can.Man can travel by land in his automobile and by air using an aeroplane.The distance between these two is generally a few hundred kilometers if not more.So we are typically wasting few hundred kms of travel space.So what can be done on this matter,we can either let the planes travel very close to earth or make cars that can fly justlike may be a helicopter or a jet.
The first idea seems dangerous as they can not travel close to population.The second one seems costly and also very artificial and film like,but seems possible

When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2000experiments before he got it to work. A young reporter asked himhow it felt to fail so many times. He said, "I never failed once.I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000-step process."_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Wilma Rudolph was the 20th of 22 children. She was born prematurely and hersurvival was doubtful. When she was 4 years old, she contacteddouble pneumonia and scarlet fever, which left her with a paralysed left leg.At age 9, she removed the metal leg brace she had been dependent onand began to walk without it. By 13 she had developed a rhythmicwalk,which doctors said was a miracle. That same year she decided tobecome a runner. She entered a race and came in last. Forthe next few years every race she entered, she came in last. Everyonetold her to quit, but she kept on running. One day she actually won a race.And then another. From then on she won every race she entered.Eventually this little girl, who was told she would never walkagain, went on to win three Olympic gold medals._________________________________________________________________________________________________
In 1962, four nervous young musicians played their first recordaudition for the executives of the Decca recording Company.The executives were not impressed. While turning down this groupof musicians, one executive said, "We don't like their sound.Groups of guitars are on the way out."The group was called "The Beatless".

finite element analysis

2005-08-10T20:48:00.000-07:00

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was first developed in 1943 by R. Courant, who utilized the Ritz method of numerical analysis and minimization of variational calculus to obtain approximate solutions to vibration systems. Shortly thereafter, a paper published in 1956 by M. J. Turner, R. W. Clough, H. C. Martin, and L. J. Topp established a broader definition of numerical analysis. The paper centered on the "stiffness and deflection of complex structures".
By the early 70's, FEA was limited to expensive mainframe computers generally owned by the aeronautics, automotive, defense, and nuclear industries. Since the rapid decline in the cost of computers and the phenomenal increase in computing power, FEA has been developed to an incredible precision. Present day supercomputers are now able to produce accurate results for all kinds of parameters.
What is Finite Element Analysis?
FEA consists of a computer model of a material or design that is stressed and analyzed for specific results. It is used in new product design, and existing product refinement. A company is able to verify a proposed design will be able to perform to the client's specifications prior to manufacturing or construction. Modifying an existing product or structure is utilized to qualify the product or structure for a new service condition. In case of structural failure, FEA may be used to help determine the design modifications to meet the new condition.
There are generally two types of analysis that are used in industry: 2-D modeling, and 3-D modeling. While 2-D modeling conserves simplicity and allows the analysis to be run on a relatively normal computer, it tends to yield less accurate results. 3-D modeling, however, produces more accurate results while sacrificing the ability to run on all but the fastest computers effectively. Within each of these modeling schemes, the programmer can insert numerous algorithms (functions) which may make the system behave linearly or non-linearly. Linear systems are far less complex and generally do not take into account plastic deformation. Non-linear systems do account for plastic deformation, and many also are capable of testing a material all the way to fracture.
How Does Finite Element Analysis Work?
FEA uses a complex system of points called nodes which make a grid called a mesh (Figure 2). This mesh is programmed to contain the material and structural properties which define how the structure will react to certain loading conditions. Nodes are assigned at a certain density throughout the material depending on the anticipated stress levels of a particular area. Regions which will receive large amounts of stress usually have a higher node density than those which experience little or no stress. Points of interest may consist of: fracture point of previously tested material, fillets, corners, complex detail, and high stress areas. The mesh acts like a spider web in that from each node, there extends a mesh element to each of the adjacent nodes. This web of vectors is what carries the material properties to the object, creating many elements. (Theory)
A wide range of objective functions (variables within the system) are available for minimization or maximization:
Mass, volume, temperature
Strain energy, stress strain
Force, displacement, velocity, acceleration
Synthetic (User defined)
There are multiple loading conditions which may be applied to a system. Next to Figure 3, some examples are shown:

Point, pressure (Figure 3), thermal, gravity, and centrifugal static loads
Thermal loads from solution of heat transfer analysis
Enforced displacements
Heat flux and convection
Point, pressure and gravity dynamic loads
Each FEA program may come with an element library, or one is constructed over time. Some sample elements are:
Rod elements
Beam elements
Plate/Shell/Composite elements
Shear panel
Solid elements
Spring elements
Mass elements
Rigid elements
Viscous damping elements
Many FEA programs also are equipped with the capability to use multiple materials within the structure such as:
Isotropic, identical throughout
Orthotropic, identical at 90 degrees
General anisotropic, different throughout
Types of Engineering Analysis
Structural analysis consists of linear and non-linear models. Linear models use simple parameters and assume that the material is not plastically deformed. Non-linear models consist of stressing the material past its elastic capabilities. The stresses in the material then vary with the amount of deformation as in Figure 4.
Vibrational analysis is used to test a material against random vibrations, shock, and impact. Each of these incidences may act on the natural vibrational frequency of the material which, in turn, may cause resonance and subsequent failure.
Fatigue analysis helps designers to predict the life of a material or structure by showing the effects of cyclic loading on the specimen. Such analysis can show the areas where crack propagation is most likely to occur. Failure due to fatigue may also show the damage tolerance of the material (Figure 5).
Heat Transfer analysis models the conductivity or thermal fluid dynamics of the material or structure (Figure 1). This may consist of a steady-state or transient transfer. Steady-state transfer refers to constant thermoproperties in the material that yield linear heat diffusion.
Results of Finite Element Analysis
FEA has become a solution to the task of predicting failure due to unknown stresses by showing problem areas in a material and allowing designers to see all of the theoretical stresses within. This method of product design and testing is far superior to the manufacturing costs which would accrue if each sample was actually built and tested.
