  Re: Rechargeable Batteries - with correct link :)
 
Peter Newman's utterance expressed in news:Law11-OE61ygIDd...tmail.com: (...) Yep - that is what I mean too - sorry if I wasn't clear about it :) In Denmark the old type of non-rechargeable batteries are called "brunsten" which translated gives (...)

  Re: The Derotatinator
 
(...) All mass has gravity, Gravity is a function of mass. a pinhead floating in space has a gravitational force, but the moons is a lot bigger and could override the pinheads, thus pulling or "Attracting" it towards it. (Though I'm sure flowers and (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: The Derotatinator
 
(...) Note I said "there's no friction", not "there's no gravity". Of course there's gravity in space - otherwise we wouldn't know which way was up! The Capacitor-Relayed Open Charged Kinetics battery system is definitely below the main hull of the (...)

  Re: The Derotatinator
 
(...) Pendulums don't work in the absence of gravity, and they really only work with the largest gravitic pull from their location, whether it be from a single source or closely clustered combined sources. The moon exerts the largest gravitic pull (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: The Derotatinator
 
(...) It's like a pendulum, I guess, but in space (which is where the earth is), there's no friction, so it just keeps going - backward and forward ad infinitum. The sea monkey explanation was a good one too, just not the right one. IMO. (...) The (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: The Derotatinator
 
(...) Sea Monkeys. (...) Heck, they're even building a MoonBase on it! (...) 2a) The sea has a natural tendency to want to stop moving, agitating untold numbers of Sea Monkey colonies. 2b) The Sea Monkeys, worried that their vast underwater domains (...)

  Re: The Derotatinator
 
(...) Almost there, but not quite. The moon does rotate, but it has slowed down to the point were one lunar day is equal to one lunar year (yes, on the moon, every day is your birthday). If it had stopped spinning altogether in relation to Earth, (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
 
  Re: The Derotatinator
 
Quoting Richie Dulin <rdulin@REMOVEmla.com.au>: (...) *blink* Wow. Ok, It's taken me a long time to figure out just how I want to approach this. 1) the water shifting side to side - how do you think this happens if not from the gravitational pull of (...)

  Re: The Derotatinator
 
(...) I'm no scientist, but I'll give it a go anyway... (...) I suspect that the water shifting from side to side counteracts the moon's lack of rotation (through the conservation of energy), thus stopping it exploding. Where the moon may run into (...)
