Q1 What is the most muscular animalthat ever lived? A1 DavidDennis live male Updated September 17 The Belgian Blue isa sure contender. It has a mutationwhich reduces myostatin, therefore it has more muscle mass. Belgian blue cattle often endure a slew ofserious health problems. Pregnancies are very difficult, and the animals almostalways require C-sections to deliver their babies. Once the calves are born,they may have a number of birth defects, including enlarged tongues, which canmake it difficult—or even impossible—for them to nurse. They may also sufferfrom cardio-respiratory, bone, and joint problems, among other ailments. Allthis can mean a very uncomfortable existence for these animals and oftentimesleads to a premature death. Q2 Why don't they make cars out ofstainless steel so they won't rust? A2 BillGillooly Former Bicycle Mechanic (1975–1977) September15 They did! AllegenyLudlum Steel made some 1936 Ford’s out of SS. They also built a 1960Thunderbird out of SS. The truth is, it’stoo expensive & most customers don’t want at expensive car & they wantto get a new car every once in a while! Remember, the body isn’t the onlyproblem! The mechanical parts wear-out & the interior doesn’t last forever. Q3 How acceptable is it to orderdelivery food during a severe storm if a restaurant is offering that service? A3 BhuvanaRameshwar Former Teacher, Tue I would rather gohungry, or cook some crap myself than order food during a storm, leave alone asevere storm. How can we make others work for us on such stormy days? We should be humaneenough not to trouble others even if it is paid service for our selfish needson such abnormal days, as they are also humans like us who risk their lives forus. But why should we make them risk their lives for us just for some deliverycharges and meagre tips from us? Rather go hungry orvisit the nearest shop or supermarket for some biscuits or instant noodles. Q4 Should an air conditioner have adrain hole? A4 2AnswersThayer Ward, HVAC Technician Answered Sun If you’re talkingabout a window shaker, they will have a higher placed drain to drain excesswater, and the water left is slung onto the condenser coil by the condenser fanto increase heat expulsion capacity. All other ACsystems have a drain, called a condensate line. One of the primary coolingmethods by an AC system is to remove heat from the air through the heat held inthe water vapor. Removing the heat in the water vapor causes the water to cooland condense, forming on the evaporator coil. The water falls down to the drainpan and exits via the condensate line. 2ND ANSWER -William Alles , formerFacilities Director at Nonprofit Organizations(1975-2015)Answered Sat Installed windowunit air conditioners should tilt slightly towards the outside and on that endshould be a drain hole in the bottom of the pan to let condensate water drip tothe ground outside. Q5 Why can’t India producesmartphones like China? Don't we have that technology to manufacture the mobilephones or lack of capitalism? A5 KanthaswamyBalasubramaniam December 3, 2020 Let me give you aStep by Step Procedure of how China does things with respect to manufacturingproducts and a Ten Step Procedure of how India does the same thing China Investors invest $ 100 Million into ChineseResearch and Development. Chinese Companies come up with 3–4Prototypes of lower Quality before coming up with better quality prototypes andfinally in a years time they produce a quality product Chinese Companies acquire the necessaryland from the Committees of the Provinces on a 99/999 Year Lease basis andbegin construction using the National Labor Force workers. Chinese Companies - liaise with other companieswhich manufacture components for phones like Apple or Samsung - which aremanufactured already in China - and begin to get almost all their componentslocally manufactured. Chinese companies -now begin to advertisetheir phones - slowly first in the domestic markets and acquire a reputation.They give over 1 Million free phones to many tech reviewers all around theglobe to review the phones. Chinese companies ensure that the qualityof the phones and the price of the phones are kept well in control to ensure adominance. They compromise neither Quality nor the Price. Finally Chinese Companies after decidingtheir Price and Revenue Model - plan a Huge Advertising campaign. The Money forthis comes from Potential Profits - not from Investments. RESULT = Good Quality Product, Good Price,Excellent Market both Domestically and Overseas. India Investors invest $ 100 Million intoProducing an Indian Smartphone Manufacturer pays $ 80 Million to topromote the brand even before beginning production. Manufacturer is hailed as the Competitor ofApple or Samsung by the News Media and has 10 Interviews a day even before hisphone is being produced. Manufacturer is short of funds borrows $ 50Million more from Banks because he blew a big chunk of his money on advertisingand endorsements. Manufacturer struggles to build hismanufacturing plant for 18 months due to issues between State and CentralGovts, Officials etc…. Manufacturer has to import 80% of thecomponents for his phone. Having blown a lot of money on PR and Publicity - hedecides to compromise on the Quality of his smartphone with inferiortouchscreens, inferior PMC units, inferior lobes etc. Manufacturer has now built a phone which is far inferiorto the original design but he promotes it by paying more money onAdvertising than on real quality. Manufacturer realizes he has to sell hisphone at a price of 1.5 times more than a cheaper yet far more superior Chinesephone. Manufacturer decides to go to the Govt and scream “Atmanirbhar” and rageand rant against foreigners. He blows even more money on funding elections andeven more publicity to hope people buy his phones. Finally Manufacturer fails. His products are inferiorand he has spent 3 times more money than his Chinese rivals - bulk of it onAdvertising, Election funding and Fancy new Bentley cars. RESULT = Disastrous Failure , UtterlyInferior Product, Zero Market Overseas and a very small market in India. POSSIBLE RESULT = ED Investigation and CBI investigation Conclusion In China - theInvestors, the Manufacturers, the Govt, the System - all work positively inproducing Quality Products at Affordable Prices. Everybody Profits. In India- Nobodyworks positively. The General attitude of the Manufacturers is simply this Public of India canbe fooled easily by Glitzy Advertisements … Public of India can be fooledeasily by screaming Patriotism and palming of worthless products in the name of‘Made in India’ In my opinion onlytwo manufacturers - Bajaj and Mahindra still have some semblance of deliveringQuality products to Indian Markets. My notes- I have removed certain names mentioned in theanswer. Q6 Why are South American countries lessvisited for tourists? A6 AlfredoCofréCasual touristSeptember 3 Because foroutsiders we are very far away, and we locals don’t have that much money totravel abroad. This subcontinent is huge! The whole Europe could fit insideBrasil. You can take a car in Brussels and be in Netherland, France or Germanyin two or three hours. If I take a car in Santiago, in 2 hours I’ll be just inValparaíso, San Fernando or if I drive fast (very unwise*) reaching Portilloand with 5 more hours on the way to Mendoza, not accounting for the time I’dspend in Customs. *¨You don’t want todrive fast here Q7 How does an air conditionertransfer heat from inside to outside? A7 PatrickMarshall, Interest in the physical sciencesand the scientific method.Answered 23h ago It's called the vaporcompression refrigeration cycle, same as a refrigerator. A working fluid (whichused to be Freon, but is now different refrigerants) starts as a compressedliquid coming from the condenser loop. Inside the “cold” part where air to becooled is inducted (which can either be re-circulated inside air or outside airor a mix if both) and blown over the evaporator coils. The high pressure liquidrefrigerant passes through a throttling valve designed to make a narrow passagewhich drops the liquid pressure drastically. Past the valve, the liquid startsto boil in the evaporator coils (at ambient temperature) picking up heat fromthe air to be cooled. This does two things, as well as simply cooling the air,humidity will condense out as liquid water (since cold air has much lowercapacity to hold moisture). This water flows into a water trap, sometimessprayed onto the warm condenser coils to improve heat transfer and efficiency.Finally, the now warm vapor passes into a vapor compressor pump where considerablemechanical work must be done to squeeze the vapor. This compressed vapor in thecondenser coils is now exposed to the OUTSIDE. ambient temperature air, whereit loses the heat from the evaporator coils and consenses back to liquid,completing the cycle. Mechanicalrefrigeration is not a “passive” cooling process like simple evaporation. Workmust be performed to move in the reverse direction from hot to cold. This isknown as the Coefficient Of Performance (COP) which is a measure of workexpended versus heat units moved. Q8 Why should the kitchen beespecially clean? How do I make sure there is no water in the house or garden? A8 ValliappanKalaiyappa , Consultant-Floricultureat Self-Employment (2002-present) Answered 5h ago Clean kitchen cankeep away germs and insects As I understandfrom the question: Excess water in sink or pans or dishes can lead to mosquitobreeding grounds, excess moisture always invites spores of pathogens togerminate and contaminate kitchen surfaces. Dry surfaces are good for hygiene. Q9 What is the most expensive liquidin the world? What is its use? A9 JesusOrdosgoitty September 14 The venom of theyellow scorpion without a doubt. It can sell for up to $ 39 million a gallon. But even with themoney, you couldn't buy the gallon, you could just buy a drop for $ 130.Getting a gallon of this liquid is not an easy task. Scorpions aremilked by hand, and a scorpion at most produces 2 milligrams of venom at atime. You would have to milk 2.6 million times to get one gallon. But why is this liquid so expensive? As this has beenused to eliminate malaria in mosquitoes, in rats for bone diseases, scientistshope that it can also be used in the future to work in humans. The truth is thatevery time the venom of this scorpion is investigated, more uses are found forit, therefore, the more valued it is and the demand for this appreciated liquidcontinues to increase progressively. Thank you for yourattention, I hope I have resolved your question Q10 Will an air conditioner work if itis cold outside? A10 2AnswersRay Wieters, former Certified Indoor Air Quality ManagerAnswered Sun Short answer, NO.Unless the equipment was designed to work at low outside ambient temperatures,it will not work properly if at all. The low temperatures outside will causethe refrigerant to migrate to the outside coil and the unit will not createenough high pressure to move it through the system correctly. There suctionpressure will be low and could cause the compressor to pump out too much lubricationoil from the sump. This could cause the compressor to fail. There are ways tocompensate for the low outside temperatures, but they must be engineered intothe system when it is built. 2nd answer-Gary Ahlers, Lapidary, HVACDesign, Astrophotographer, Constr'n (1975-present)AnsweredMon Not “as-is” Thesystem must be modified. These modifications are only needed where there is avery high internal heat load and no access to outside air (economizer). Condenser fanambient control are add-ons and can be installed on any split system. Many willuse a variable speed fan motor for even better control. There is, of course, ahefty hit on performance. There is also hotgas bypass that can be used individually or in combination with the above. For package unitsthere are also volume dampers that can be installed to decrease condenserairflow.
