Every young man my age dreams of being the next
Michael Jordan, or the next Troy Aikman. For me,
it was quite different. I wanted to actually do
something that would make a difference in other

My dream was shattered when I realized that the
majority of them lie more than they tell the
truth. The next big thing I wanted to be was a
mechanic because I loved the feeling I got when I
made something start up after being dead and in
hibernation for a lo...

two atoms of oxygen. It occurs naturally in the
atmospheres of many planets, including that of
earth. Carbon dioxide is uniformly distributed
over the earths surface at a concentration of
about 0. 033 %, or 330 parts per million. It was
called fixed air by the Scottish chemist and

Introduction What is mechanics? Robotics Mechanics
Introduction What is mechanics? If youve ever been
around a physics teacher or engineer, they are
always talking about mechanics, and its seems that
no one really understands what mechanics really
is. Quite simply, mechanics is the knowledge of
design and construction of machinery. In robotics,
this translates into the physical construction of
the robot. Since every game is different (thus
requiring different mechanical solutions), this

The group of synthetic resins called epoxies
produce the strongest adhesives in current use, as
well as plastics and corrosion-resistant coatings.
Epoxy adhesives are thermosetting; that is, after
initial hardening, they cannot be remelted by
heat. They have excellent resistance to solvents
and weathering agents, and high electrical and
temperature resistance. Their adhesion to almost
any type of surface including metal, ceramic,
wood, and fabrics unmatched. Epoxies are usually

Negatively Charged Positively Charged

Fusion reactions are inhibited by the electrical
repulsive force that acts between two positively
charged nuclei. For fusion to occur, the two
nuclei must approach each other at high speed to
overcome the electrical repulsion and attain a
sufficiently small separation (less than
one-trillionth of a centimeter) that the
short-range strong nuclear force dominates. For
the production of useful amounts of energy, a
large number of nuclei must under go fusion: that
is to say, a gas of fusing nuclei m...

as dirigibles. Therefore three classes of
airships, rigid, nonrigid and semirigid. Rigid
airships (zeppelins) use framework in the interior
to keep their shape. Semirigid airships are a
combination of framework and gas pressure to
maintain their shape. Nonrigid airships (blimps)
rely solely on air pressure to keep their form.
They are all propell...
