M. GIONTA: See, it's pretty cool. We think there are a lot of wealthy people who would be willing to pay the amount of money we think it's going to take, to go take a ride. HSW: And then the idea of course, eventually, is to make this more and more cost effective until......
Safetyis, first and foremost, our highest priority. We will not forego safety for anything else. OurGoal Zeroambition underlines our Powering Progress Strategy: we deliver energy responsibly and safely while also preventing harm whether it be...
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is another important greenhouse gas. Although the amounts being released by human activities are not as great as the amounts of CO2, nitrous oxide absorbs much more energy than CO2 (about 270 times as much). For this reason, efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions have...
While traditional whipping methods require either a strong wrist for manual whisking or the right equipment for electric mixing, an innovative tool has taken the art of whipping cream to a new level – the cream charger. Cream chargers, small canisters filled with nitrous oxide N₂O, have ...
Human beings and our technology have evolved to require a certain climate. Anything that changes that climate may affect the way we live, dramatically altering agricultural patterns and melting the polar icecaps. It's clear that reducing nitrous oxide emissions from cars is just as important as ...
Nitrous oxide self-pressurizes at room temperature. This makes it unnecessary to outfit SpaceShipOne with a complicated system of pumps and plumbing to combine the oxidizer with the fuel during flight. In the next section, we will get inside SpaceShipOne. Comparison To give you an idea of the ...
The feeling of euphoria is like that experienced when a dentist or anesthesiologist gives you nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Nitrogen narcosis can impair your judgement and make you feel relaxed or even sleepy -- meaning you could start to ignore your instruments, your dive buddy and even drown...
nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Nitrogen narcosis can impair your judgement and make you feel relaxed or even sleepy -- meaning you could start to ignore your instruments, your dive buddy and even drown. Narcosis comes on suddenly and without warning, but can be relieved by ascending to a ...
Graham's law of effusion states that the rate at which two different gases effuses depends on the density as well as the molecular weight of the gas. The rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular weight of the gas. ...
• Design Waterline (DWL)-the Naval Architect's intended maximum draft of the ship • Draft-the depth of water to which the vessel can safely and legally be loaded. This varies slightly with seasons due to water temperature and salinity, and it is marked as such along with the Plimsoll...
