Wire

Andrew Hallidie set up his first wire rope making company in the gold fields of American Bar in 1856. Hallidie had learned his craft in Scotland where at the age of ten he had apprenticed under his father, Andrew Smith, who had a number of patents for the making of wire rope. At American Bar a quartz mill had built an incline railway using hemp rope to haul empty cars up and full cars down. The hemp rope required replacement every 75 days, Hallidie’s lasted for two years. Returning to San…

obtaining rhesus monkeys that had been separated from their mothers at birth. Harlow placed these monkeys in isolated cages. Each cage contained a wire surrogate mother that provided food and a cloth surrogate mother that did not provide food. An overwhelming majority of the monkeys went to the cloth surrogate mother for comfort, only visiting the wire monkey for nourishment. After observing the monkeys for a while, Harlow was able to conclude that the monkeys spent the majority of the time with…

analyzed using the percent recovery formula. Reaction 1: The Formation of Cu(NO3)2: Reaction 1 of the experiment involved performing a redox reaction to create Cu(NO3)2. Immediately after HNO3 was added to the copper wire (Cu), the brown NO2 gas was emitted from the solution. As the copper wire dissolved, the solution green and eventually blue. Once the reaction was complete, the solution ceased to emit gas. It was evident that the reaction was exothermic since the beaker was hot, indicating…

"Have patience",exclaims dad every day we work on the farm. Some days on the farm are easy like just feeding cows. Other days are long and hard like pulling a calf at midnight or having to fix something when you need it the most. But every day on the farm is fun and relaxing. I don't like fixing something in the middle of summer on the one hundred and ten degree days. We got a call from the fence builder and the red angus and gelbvieh cross cows at the Frazer Farm did not have any water. So dad…

Candy Canes have the potential to damage brace wires or even the braces themselves because they are a hard candy. Leave them for tree decorations this year. • Peanut Brittle and other hard candies –these treats can damage braces or wires. • Nuts – this snack can damage braces or wires or the hard pieces can get stuck between the wires, making it a nightmare to clean. • Veggie Trays – avoid the hard veggies such as carrots as they can be…

were skilled workers and had traveled to West Germany for work. It was on August 13, 1961, when the Communist government of the German Democratic Republican started to build a barbed wire and concrete Antifaschistischer or wall in between East and West Berlin. Due to this, August 13th, 1961, was later known as Barbed Wire Sunday. The original purpose of the wall was to keep so called fascists out of East Germany. Germany did not want the fascists undermining the socialist state in any such…

Conclusion The empirical formula of the copper chloride hydrate compound is CuCl2 · 2H2O. Discussion of Theory The technique of gravimetric analysis can be used to find the empirical formula of a compound when the amount of it is known. By dehydrating the copper chloride hydrate sample and using it for an elemental copper-producing chemical reaction, one can isolate the masses of the water, copper, and chloride and determine their mole ratios. Since the Law of Definite Proportions states that a…

stable one, while tritium has a half-life of roughly twelve years, making it slightly radioactive (Unterweger et al.; Wanjek). However, tritium has a higher binding energy than deuterium making it a more efficient fuel (Watkins). The deuterium-tritium reaction has a yield of roughly 17.6 MeV whereas the deuterium-deuterium reaction only has a yield of about 3.65 MeV. Still, the DT reaction has its disadvantages. For one, in the DT reaction about 80% of the energy is stored in a high-energy…
