INDIAN RAILWAY . . . THE GOELDEN ERA

Image
The first railway on the Indian sub- continent ran over a stretch of 21 miles from Bombay to thane. The ides of a railway to connect Bombay with thane, kalian and with the thal and bhore Ghats inclines first occurred to MR.GEORGE CLARK, THE CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE BOMBAY GOVERNEMENT, during a visit to bhandup in 1843. The formal inauguration ceremony was performed on 16 th April 1853, when 14 railway carriages carrying about 400 guests left bori bunder at 3.30 pm “amidst the applause of a vast multitude and to the salute of 21 guns.” The first passenger train steamed out of Howrah station destined for Hooghly a distance of 24 miles, on 15 th august, thus the first section of the East Indian railway was opened to public traffic, inaugurating the beginning of the railway transport on the eastern side of the sub-continent. In south the first line was opened on 1 st July, 1856 by the Madras railway company.it ran between veyasrspandy and walajah road [Arcot],a distance of distance of

UFO

UFO  it is called as the unidentified flying objects. Which are most commonly seen by the american citizens.these flying objects are in the circular shapes having a different technology and fuel used for travelling from one galaxy to galaxy.Till now we have findout  the flying objects in most of the different irregular shapes but most of them are in circular shapes.The first flying object was found in the year 1947 june 24 th which was come into the world publications which was invented by  Jerome Clark . As they are using the reactor technology which we are present using in the submarines and having the proposal of using in aircraft and space ships.The setup the alien spaceships is in the form of the disk shapes the ship body size is 12.2 m in diameter and 4.9 m in height and the total ship is divided into three divisions observation deck, main cabin and gravity generator section.  Gravity generator module: in this there will be number of gravity generators that are place

Pilot Lights are Evil

My personal journey into home energy reduction began with taking stock of past energy use as reported on my utility bills. I quickly migrated toward reading the meters directly  to gauge the impact of particular activities. What I learned from our gas meter shocked me, and ultimately led to our single-biggest energy-saving behavioral shift. I’ve already ruined any hope of suspense in the title of the post, but just how bad does something have to be before I’ll resort to a word like “evil?” And how bad are your own demons? Ah—now you can’t wait to find out! Gas Gauges and Units We must first confront the asinine measurement and units scheme of the natural gas delivery system. At least it’s asinine in the U.S. For one thing, the billing units are  Therms . One Therm is 100,000 Btu, or 1.055×10 8  J, equating to 29.3 kWh. My main beef with the Therm is that the way my utility bill is formatted, my gas usage in Therms is printed within a few millimeters of my electricity usage in kWh. Sin

100 MPG on Gasoline: Could We Really make that ?

Image
some guy had invented a car that could get 100 miles per gallon (MPG), but that powerful interests (often GM, Chevron, etc.) had bought rights to the idea and sat on it. We suckers were left to shell out major bucks for gasoline, when a solution was in hand and under wraps. Leaving aside the notion that such a design would bring unbelievable prosperity to its holder (i.e., no real incentive to  sit  on it), let’s look at what physics says is possible. We like cars because we can travel quickly from point A to point B. So let’s evaluate the energy requirements to make that journey at freeway speeds. We will use the somewhat awkward (although appropriate) speed of 67 m.p.h. because it conveniently maps to 30 meters per second. At these speeds, aerodynamic resistance is   the dominant energy drain, so we will start by evaluating  only  this to get a lower bound on fuel efficiency, and find that we do a pretty good job! What a Drag! As long as your car is bigger than a dust grain, air res
