Open Question: Slip ring Induction motor?

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 04:08:22 +0800

Hi there I wonder if anyone can explain to me the basics of a slip ring induction? I have been through lots of information regarding the induction motor and i am fairly confident how that works. However, the slip ring motor has somewhat confused me. I understand that it has two components just like an induction motor (Stator and rotor) but it says it has external resistance which controls the current(Torque). Physically, where are these resistanace - on the rotor or stator? Also are slip ring motors only used for machinery which requires a high current starts? With an induction motor the coils on the stator creates a magnetic field which induces current on the conductors on the rotor which results in the rotor to rotate. - Where does the slip rings come into play? May be a obvious answer but i cant see it Like i say any information would be appreciated thanks

Open Question: Do we care more about our iPhones than the people that suffer making them in China?

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 03:50:10 +0800

An Apple executive was quoted saying this about US people. I heard an American activist talking about his recent trip to China to visit the huge sweatshop called foxconn that is responsible for manufacturing most of the electronics we use. Supposedly Apple is one of the biggest culprits that use this warehouse where workers are forced to hand-make iphones, tablets, etc instead of using automated machinery. This is obviously cheaper to do but does the most profitable company in the world have to do this? While the activist was in China a man died while at foxconn working a 34 hour shift. He also explained that many workers are climbing to the roof and committing suicide. It has become so routine that foxconn had to put a net around the warehouse to catch these people. The labor laws are obviously ignored in China unlike the US. We could obviously use the jobs here in America but that's a whole different topic. My question to you is, do you agree with the Apple exec or if you knew more about what was going on, would you care?

Open Question: What was this car driving game I used to play? Help me remember!!?

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 04:11:06 +0800

I played this game on my computer sometime in the early 2000s or 90s and I want to remember what it was. It was a car racing game set in a futuristic city where you had to collect some pieces of machinery or a power source before time ran out... The graphics made it look like a realistic car except I think you could hover above the track and the bottom of the car was like a blue energy field instead of having tires. You could play with a view from inside the car or outside the car. It was like a car racing game except it started with the car all on its own inside a sort of garage/enclosed space and then you set off on the road and go towards a city or an area with lots of lights and platforms you can drove onto... Any ideas what it was? It could have been a videogame adapted for use on the PC.

Open Question: Where is the thesis in this essay?

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 02:05:13 +0800

we are suppose to practice finding the thesis in essays and i am having trouble finding the thesis in this essay...please help (i enclosed the beginning of the essay because it is somewhere here) Sun Vampires You're lying in a big plastic cocoon. Weird blue light beats down at you through hi-tech glass and there’ s a strange humming noise. Y ou're naked and sweating profusely. Have you been abducted by aliens for experimental tests? No, you're lying on a sunbed and if you're doing it more than once a week then you could be seriously addicted. The Imperial Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) recently released a fact sheet outlining the dangerous effects of indoor tanning. “There is extreme concern for ‘tanorexics’,” says Christine Suggars, a spokesperson for the ICRF. “Especially people who have a dangerous desire for a permanent tan and use sunbeds more than once a week.” So who are these walking raisins, and why do they need a regular sunbed fix? Often tanorexics prefer to buy a sunbed rather than visit a suntanning salon. And let’s face it, anyone who’ s prepared to fork out £1,600 on the initial machinery must have one hell of a habit. “I bought a sunbed 10 years ago,” recalls Jane Horwood, a 37- year- old interior designer. “I used it once a week at first, but this gradually became once a night. I used to go on it religiously after work and hated it when I couldn't go underneath.” "It’ s like smoking. Even though I knew I shouldn’t be under there, I couldn't stop myself,” she confesses. “I wanted to look healthy and was really upset that when I got pregnant my doctor told me I couldn’t go on the sunbed. It’s an obsession with self image and self esteem, like anorexia. If you’re browner, you think you’re going to have a nicer lifestyle, be more attractive. If I hadn’t got pregnant I would never have stopped.” Over use of sunbeds can lead to all kinds of nasty side-effects. “Apart from premature skin ageing, people who use sunbeds for more than 20 sessions of 30 minutes per year run the risk of developing skin fragility,” says Doctor Julia Newton Bishop, consultant dermatologist at St James’ University Hospital in Leeds. “The skin becomes very thin with a transparent texture and it bruises and blisters easily. Normally I would only expect to see this problem in the elderly but I have seen some young patients suffering from this who over-use tanning equipment.” “An average 30 minutes on a sunbed gives you the same dose of UVA rays as a day at the beach,” says Christine Suggars. “UVB rays have been linked to skin cancer for many years, but it’s only now that the concern is growing over the effects of UV A rays. UVB rays affect the top layer of the skin, the epidermis, and also the melanocyte cells, to produce brown pigment,” she explains. “UV A rays penetrate the skin more deeply, damaging the elastin (which keeps the skin supple) and collagen (which maintains the skin’ s thickness) in the skin’s middle layer, causing sagging skin and wrinkles.” This is not good news for the suntanning industry The Tanning Shop opened its first branch in the UK in 1992 and now has over 150 branches around the country. The company advocates “controlled tanning” and specialised programmes can cost up to £399 a year. “People aren't happy just to pop into a booth anymore,” explains marketing co-ordinator Rachel O’Donnell. “They want us to tell them what to do.” Customers are warned about the dangers of over-tanning and are given a ‘consultation’ before their first sunbed session. “They can only ever have a session every second day and fair-skinned people are allowed six minutes a session which might go on to 10 minutes eventually. Customers are more fussy about what they get,” says O’Donnell. The Tanning Shops’ black vertical tanning booths look unnervingly like upright coffins, but tanorexics will not be put off. “I go two to three times a week,” says 27-year-old accountant, Victoria Williams. "It makes me feel healthier, just like when you come back from holiday.” Victoria started using sunbeds to clear up a skin complaint, but now she’ s hooked. “I did worry about addiction,” she says, “so I didn't go on the sunbed for a month, but I started to get miserable when I got pasty. I wanted that heat and warmth on my body.” Is she worried about the latest sunbed scare? “You have BSE, listeria, salmonella,” she says defiantly “I think there is some scare every week and it’s over-hyped. I would only stop using sunbeds if they were banned.” A favourite haunt of the shameless tanorexic is Electric Beach in London’ s Covent Garden. Here models and media people pop in for a top-up on a regular basis. On Saturday, the last celebs seen crossing its portats were Luke and Matt Goss, formerly of Bros. Who says tanning isn’t trendy? “We are looking to cater for those people who live a London life,” says managing director Philip Hodgeson. etc...
