Through the Wire

Man on Wire is a documentary/ biography directed by James Marsh and starring Phillippe Petit. The documentary is over a Frenchmen (Phillippe Petit) that had a strange obsession and interest in tightrope walking. He started out tightrope walking just in his backyard; he built building like situations with a wire in between to get the actual feel of tightrope walking. Phillippe Petit was born in 1949 in Nemours, France, at the age of sixteen is when he discovered his passion for hire wire and…

prevent house flies from entering the house and becoming a pest. The outlined method for testing fly screens would be to place them in isolation with the exit being through a wire mesh with varying wire thickness and gaps. Pulling data from a similar experiment (Busvine, 1965), we can assume that 10 wires per linear inch combined with a wire thickness of 0.274 mm and gap of 2.17mm would stop all flies from entering the home. The investigated solution satisfies the constraints of ethics,…

Petit and his plan to wire walk without a safety harness between the twin towers with the help of his team. The documentary Man on Wire (2008), directed by James Marsh, contains the same storyline as the film, however, it differs from it as the two are different types of texts. Man on Wire and The Walk make use of their characters in contrasting ways. Similarly, the structure of the documentary and the film also varies. Nevertheless, music is used in a similar way between Man on Wire and The…

What’s the science behind light? A lightbulb is “a glass bulb inserted into a lamp or a socket in a ceiling, that provides light by passing an electric current through a filament or a pocket of inert gas.” ("Light Bulb - Definition of Light Bulb in English | Oxford Dictionaries") Light is a form of energy emitted by an atom. Light is made up of many light photons, which are small particles that have energy and momentum but no mass. Atoms release photons when the electrons become “excited” and…

story they begin with a do it yourself experiment to show how short circuiting happens and what it could do to appliances. “the voltage of the battery pushes electrons through the circuit against the resistance of the iron wire, causing the iron wire to heat up. As you move the clip closer to the battery, the resistance of the iron wire decreases. Because the same voltage is applied across a lower…

is to figure how many coils of copper wire are in the unknown. 4) What are AC and DC electrical energies? (3 points) DC electrical energy is direct current energy. So if the electrons’ movement is constant, it is DC electrical energy. AC is alternating current energy, so if the direction of the electron movement is inverted, it is AC electrical energy. 5) Currently, how are they generated in the U.S.? (3 points) Currently, US is producing electricity through: coal (39%), natural gas (27%),…

the main reason for this is because the governments can’t maintain everyone’s needs. An example of a non-profit organisation in Australia is WIRE. WIRE stands for Women Information and Referral Exchange. WIRE was started in 1983; this organisation was not started by someone but by a group of organisations that all support women’s rights and equality. WIRE is run in Victoria and is the only wide-ranging information…

Abstract:-This paper provides review of various wire length estimation techniques. Wire length plays an important role in the design of circuit. If wire length of the circuit is known before placement delay, resistance, power dissipation, and capacitance can be predicted. All these parameters play an important role in designing of the circuit. These parameters help in predicting the performance of the circuit in early design phase. Such estimations are very useful to optimize the circuits. This…

5-7mL of distilled water was added to the crucible, swirled, and then poured on the brown crystals in the beaker. The beaker was swirled to dissolve the crystals. The green color was restored. Next, two aluminum wire pieces about an inch long were obtained and weighed. The aluminum wire was then fully immersed in the solution. The color of the solution faded, and within 30 minutes, the solution was completely…

process by which two or more pieces of metal are joined or metal has material added to it to fill a hole. Welding process work by heating the base metal, or the material being on, to a liquid state. They then usually add filler material, in the form of wire or rods/electrodes. The filler material will also melt and mix with the base metal causes an irreversible bond fusing and strengthen the metal as it cools. The most common process used in industrial…
