Hi guys,

Theoretical question for you… Let’s say the Earth was totally destroyed by a huge meteor — blown to pieces in fact. Beneath the waves of the doomed planet is a nuclear submarine, which is flung out into space as a result of the impact.

My question is this… providing the sub remained intact, what problems would the crew have to overcome, both immediately and in the long-term — if there was a long-term, of course.

Some of the problems I’d imagine, would be:

* the immense cold of space.
* stabilizing the sub, and getting it on an… um, even keel?
* oxygen.

But what else???

Also, let’s imagine the sub was somehow able to dock with the International Space Station. Is it theoretically possible to cannibalize equipment from the ISS (Solar Panels, etc) and turn the sub into a fully fledged space-sub?

Any help gratefully received ;o)
D.

My solar installer says its OK to cut off these vent pipes in order to make for a clean installation of the Solar Panels. Will this create and problems?

We love the Earth, and apparently, so do Sprint and Samsung. Two weeks ago, Sprint announced it will launch Samsung’s Reclaim handset – a super.

I would like to know from where I can buy a suitable solar cell(panel) which can provide a few watts of power to run a fan and a light.May be directly run a fan at day time.And do some small lighting of about 10 watts for 4 to 6 hours at night.

Security lighting must provide stronger illumination than solar lighting that is designed primarily for outdoor decoration. Security lights must also be more powerful, durable, and reliable than simple solar accent lighting. Here are some things to think about before you buy a solar security light. When deciding where to place solar security lights for maximum security, you may not have many options. If the area where you most need the nighttime illumination doesn’t receive much direct sunl

I have been told that the bright light in the eastern sky at night is the Solar Panels on the space station, does anyone know anything about this?

I just got my first solar-panel starter kit, and I want to use it for my light, so I have to have a battery for it.
The panels are 12 volt, 65 watt.
What kind of battery/batteries, and how many lights can I have on it?
My mistake, it is 60 watt, not 65, and there are 4 panels, I do not know if they are 60 what each, or total.
IGNORE EVERYTHING BEFORE THIS…..
Ok. here are the facts.
4 15 watt Solar Panels, for a total of 60 watts.
1 200 watt inverter.
1 regulator/controller
I also have 1 75 watt inverter, and 1 800 watt inverter that did not come with the kit.
The only things on them will be lights, and 1 outlet when the power is out, the outlet will be on the main line when we do have power, the lights will be on solar all the time.
What kind of batteries can I use, and how many lights can I have on it?
What kind of batteries do I need, how many, and how many lights can I have on it?
I am also open to ideas on how to hook everything up. I think I know how to do it, but others have already done this sort of stuff, so it would be smart to get ideas from them.

I am heading to Nepal and do not want to lose power on my cameras but they can only be charged via plugging in. A USB connection does not work. Looking for a solar panel to clip to my bag or carry that I can plug in the charger as if plugging in to wall outlet. Thanks.

Half of the existing solar manufacturers may not survive through the end of next year, according to the market research firm The Information Network, as reported by DigiTimes.The piece said Information Network chief Robert Castellano believes “massive inventory buildup and huge overcapacity” are having a serious impact on solar panel manufacturers. The industry is up to 122 days of inventory, from an average 71 days in 2008, he reports. Capacity utilization in the industry is down to 27.9 percen

Recently I delved into a bird feeder construction project with grandson Tyler. I thought we did a pretty good job. There were a couple of design flaws but none the less I was satisfied overall. In fact, the thought crossed my mind maybe I could sell a few. That is until I ran across this ad on Craigslist today. I have a solar powered birdfeeder for sale. This is a new series of Birdfeeder I have created, “Nighthawk 100R Gold”. This extremely tough feeder has a solar powered fill indicater. It
