Diesel Generator - External Fuel Tank?
I need a fast, safe, and efficient way to add an external fuel tank to a diesel generator for electric generation in remote, off-grid areas. I can't find a commercial product. What would I need? Tank? Pump? Hose? Does anybody have experience attaching, say, a 55-gallon drum, or does some standard technique exist?
Unfortunately, "just refilling the tank" is out of the question, since the generator will be at a remote site. Nimur 01:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Smaller Time/Distance
Why do things become so powerfull at smaller quantities, for example I read somewhere that gold can be explosive at the nanoscale level, also I'm not sure of the accuracy of this but if energy is released from a compacitor at a faster time then the watt value is higher than if it were realesed in a slower time value? Anyways My main question is, Why is smaller better?67.126.242.52 03:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Wow thanks alot in fact I came up with another example, the fineness of rocketpropellant in solid core rockets. Thanks!
Coefficient of Relatedness verus Degrees of Separation

Why are parrots so damn messy when they eat?
Give my lovebird a handful of peanuts to snack on and after shelling the nut (okay, legume!), she'll crunch it in her bill and drop about two thirds of it onto the floor, then go straight onto shelling the next one, ignoring the fragments from then on. Yep, she's wasting food and making a mess of my carpet at the same time. Give her a piece of apple/orange/banana and she seems to shred and fling more than she eats. All the psittacines I've ever owned have been the same. Question: why are these birds so wasteful with their food? I can't imagine food supplies being so plentiful and regular in the wild that they can get away with doing that all the time (yet, according to the parrot documentaries I've watched, wild birds seem to eat in pretty much the same way)... --Kurt Shaped Box 10:22, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Since my answer includes speculation, I've included it here: . StuRat 13:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
First, parrots just enjoy taking things apart. One of my birds often shells almonds and once he gets it open, drops the nut. He's not that fond of almonds, just interested in the taking apart (as opposed to pecans, which he loves and doesn't waste a bit of). They enjoy shredding wood, too, and it's not like they think it's edible (and see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozd3xAv-cZM ). Parrots also enjoy dropping things. They love the game where they drop it and you pick it up (and they drop it, and you pick it up, and they drop it... see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REFkDP7r7Jw ), but also enjoy dropping things in general (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzh70XBxfB0 ). When we feed our birds broccoli or cauliflower, we have to cut it up fairly small before they'll eat it. They think it's more fun to fling big pieces. Small pieces don't make much noise when they hit the cage floor, so you may as well eat them.
Second, they often have an overabundance of food - not only in captivity but also in the wild. When a large fruit tree ripens, there may be more food than they can eat, and it won't last long. They may as well eat just the choicest bits. They're less picky when food is scarce and they're hungry.
Ours do not mind picking food off the floor. They often drop choice bits on the floor and climb down to get them later. (We think it's at least partly in hopes that we'll notice that they're out of good stuff and give them more. If it didn't work, no sense wasting the food).Brucemoko (talk) 16:11, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Tunafish - cooked?
Hi, is tuna fish cooked when it's in a can? If not, is it a kind of sushi. It's stored in sunflower oil or brine so it could be uncooked but it seems more likely that it's cooked! Been bugging me for a while. Thanks for any help! Josh Holloway 13:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks to both of you :). Josh Holloway 18:55, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
tv vs monitor
Hello. I've found that buying a LCD computer monitor (with or without a built in TV tuner) is literally hundreds of currency units (£) less than buying a LCD TV. In addition they are a higher resolution (typically 1280x1024) than the TV equivalent (often only 1024x768). The only difference I can see is that the speakers are not very good in the monitor (but not much worse than the TV speakers) - Is there some reason why adding a TV tuner to a flat panel display seems to add hundreds to the price (in the UK) - am I missing some crucial functional difference.?87.102.84.170 16:02, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
I was comparing same sizes - but your answers show my experience must be a purely local phenonoma. Thanks.87.102.84.170 17:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Another Radiation Question
Yep here i go again. i think some of this should be included in the articles anyways. How much of your body has to be exposed to Leathal radiation? in other words will radiation be lethal if it only your finger is exposed to the leathal dose? will your finger be the only thing to fall off? <(maybe a bit to extream there) and can you save yourself if you cut your finger off? thanks again guys User:Maverick423If It Looks Good • Nuke It 16:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Sweet thanks much!! User:Maverick423*If It Looks Good • Nuke It 16:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Wow that article acctually freaked me out a bit. Stuff like that just reminds of how weak and fragile the human body is. User:Maverick423 If It Looks Good Nuke It 20:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)Cylindrical mirror
What would it look like if a person were inside of a cylindrical mirror? What would the image look like? Dismas | (talk) 17:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
The reflection in the part of the mirror behind them would be behind them, so the light would have to travel through the person looking to create a reflection of a reflection, however the light could be reflected around them lots of times, which wouls make the reflections further around fade, and they would overlap too. I think the only realisic way to find out would be to try it.
Coefficient of Relatedness envisioned
Can the concept of Coefficient of Relatedness be correctly envisioned by the situation of the probability of a news photographer who goes to a random location and while standing in the exact same spot as previous photographers will take the identical photograph? 17:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
can safety
Is it safe to put a can of any water based food product such as vegetables or beans, etc. into a deep pan of water and bring the water to a boil for several (15) minutes without the can exploding? 17:46, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Ok first of all StuRat OMG but hey it happened to me too =) (no one likes dirty dishes) secondly, there is one canned food that can acctually be boiled. its that Condensed milk the sweet one that is, cooking it in boiling water for a hour or so (more if you want) will cook the milk inside to create a delicacy known here in deep south texas as Cajeta It is very tasty and goes great with toast.

(edit conflict)
heh i love 71's thinking however adding ripples that expand with heat will be more costly thus increasing the prices of a simple can of food. heck it might be enough to increase a 50 cent can to $1. im sorry to say but i would rather do dishes then pay more XD User:Maverick423 If It Looks Good Nuke It 22:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
