What is the best possible design for a bridge made from balsa wood? Links to images/ideas greatly appreciated, the bridge cannot have any finishing, however steaming to allow curves is allowed.

If you don’t have any idea, suggestions for bridge design and presentation would also be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Architects are working with engineers to build a lecture hall. How can they design it so that echoes are reduced and speech is not heard as grabled sounds?

A. build smooth marble walls, ceilings and polished floors

B. construct many flat walls, angled ceilings and smooth floors

C. use an ultramodern design of metal walls, pillars and seats

D. build walls out of porous materials, upholster the seats and add carpetsSubmited by:Russell

How are our current worldly conditions changing the design and production of the modern car? Will we have the variety available? Will all the companies still exist? What about the economy, climate, global relationships, etc.? How are those affecting the design of the modern automobile? And could you include websites where you found it so I can read further?Submited by:kingdomheartsbabie

Hi. I am looking to learn everything possible about the structure and mechanics of guns, such as…
- materials different parts are made with
- part dimensions (ie, barrel thickness)
- calibers of different guns and the speeds at which the fire bullets
- what role electronics play in guns
- design specifics of loading mechanisms

I am looking for anything that involves the engineering, design, and specifics of various guns (not necessarily info on history, how to fire guns, and the like).

What are some good books or resources to help me with this particular information?

Thanks.

Carpet manufacturers use the principle of electrostatics to design carpets. How do you think they might design a carpet that would reduce the chance of getting an electric shock after walking across it?

The one…the only asked:


The design i was thinking about was a half oval (with 4 arches), with the open end down, and the pyramid built around it. The design should be structurally sound, and the construction materials used are only stone (like the egyptians). No current-day technologies can be used. Thanks for the help.

I would like to know if there was a standard program used for circuit design and simulation within the EE industry. I am currently learning on Quartus II Web (which is pretty nice).

Also, is there a generally standard or popular FPGA dev kit that is used?

Thanks in advanced!Submited by:Charlie
