Posted Friday, October 18, 2013 at 10:36 AM this helped me lot with me project. Comment commented on "What Do You Think?" Posted Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 9:16 AM I would like to research into renewable energies, especially solar panel design using advanced materials.I am also interested in nanotechnology and how it can be used to enhance future product.I am very much interested in creating stuff that would help people in the developing world overcome their day to day difficulties :lighting, fuel to cook and efficient use of water. I feel that if engineers collaborate, we could make a great difference in this world. Comment commented on "What Do You Think?" Posted Thursday, November 3, 2011 at 11:48 AM Usage of fossil fuels are responsible to pollution, and we cant expect the present day fuels will be sufficient in future due to increasing population and excess usage of fuels. so, i have an idea based on producing electrical energy from natural energy which is highly efficient and economical Comment commented on "What Do You Think?" Posted Sunday, October 23, 2011 at 12:57 PM I may have missed the answer, but are the competitions open to non-US reseaarchers? Thanks. Comment commented on "What Do You Think?" Posted Saturday, September 17, 2011 at 2:17 PM i always wondered if there was a material that could help the process. currently the plasma is made to make a toroidal stream but isnt the sun just a spinning sphere? the pressure and gravity are so much that instead of exploding outwards it collapses in. maybe a man-made diamagnetic material could be placed inside the magnetic field. the material itself would contain the even smaller reaction material. just a idea i had randomly Comment commented on "What Do You Think?" Posted Wednesday, July 27, 2011 at 10:50 AM I have a strong interest in Astronomy and Cosmology, and have some very intriguing ideas, but this site does not seem to address these subjects. Comment commented on "What Do You Think?" Posted Monday, July 11, 2011 at 9:04 AM The idea about this whole project is something our society really needs as an initiation phase of a bigger project:"Improve Life". Being an engineer and innovator myself, I learned that no project can live on its own, disconnected from the reality of our existence; investment and politics. In other words, as much as it is important to define and scope the major engineering challenges, it is equally important not to forget that solutions will require some channels and connections with those who make decisions (governments, politicians, investors) to ensure "stakeholders involvement". Even though it is not an engineering category and may sound disconnected from the premise of this project, I believe one of the challenges should be Making Decision Making Powers (politicians and governments) aware of challenges and timelines. In other words, educate them, bring them one step closer to our scientific and engineering perception of the world and help them help us - by making right choices and creating an environment where major decisions will be made on facts and not only on lobbying and political agendas (like the non-unrealistic cost of oil/petrol products, subsidized to the max, while renewable energy solutions must fight against them in the open market, which is as if you have to box against Mike Tyson with one of your hands tied up to your back).

Comment commented on "What Do You Think?" Posted Monday, October 4, 2010 at 10:11 AM I have personally have a lot of these thoughts geannaliseerd. if we follow the wise counsel, let herself come true to us. but we can assume what people know. and therefore I support everything you know share with each other without any level or hyrarchie. Ik heb veel van deze gedachten personlijk geannaliseerd. als we wijze raad volgen, gaan we tot ons true zelve komen. maar we moeten kunnen aannemen wat mensen kunnen weten. en daarom ben ik voorstander van alles wat je weet deel het met mekaar zonder enige level of hyrarchie.

Posted Tuesday, December 29, 2009 at 4:27 PM Jerry Fagersten was incorrect in his comments with regard to the water supplies for Santa Barbara. Lake Cachuma has not dried up but has continously provided over 25,000 acre feet per year without interuption. Water is piped from the California Canal at a rate of around 2000 acre feet per year and consitutes a supplemental supply. Santa Barbara's desalination plant was mothballed because it cost too much.
