Talk:Reed valve

message: Its certainly not obvious from the page as it stands how these devices operate. Anyone know?--SpectrumAnalyser 00:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  How do they work? 

message: Given the fact that they operate via air pressure alone, reed valves are not as precise as rotary valves since physical inertia causes them to open later than the optimum time. Manufacturers have attempted to address this in part by creating multi-stage reeds with smaller, more responsive reeds within larger ones that provide more volume later in the cycle.
There should be mention that, though "Less precise" than rotary valves, reed valve motors pretty much totally replaced rotary valve motors by the 90's. A. Graham Bell's "Two Stroke Performance Tuning" mentions this.
:I've mentioned this, though without using your reference, hope this was OK. MalcolmMcDonald (talk) 20:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Performance 

message: The section on pulse jets states that "forward motion" causes the reed valves to open. Actually a pulse jet will run fine while stationary. It is the inertia of the gas leaving the long tailpipe that "sucks" fresh air/fuel in the front. Taken from the (correct) article on pulse jets:
"The inertia of the traveling exhaust gas causes a low pressure in the combustion chamber. This pressure less than the inlet pressure (upstream of the one-way valve), and so the induction phase of the cycle begins."

Talk:XPCOM

message: Added a short paragraph about negative side effects of XPCOM usage and the deCOMtamination effort currently going on within Gecko / Firefox.
I am not sure if my wording correctly transposes the message, something like "XPCOM is not evil, you just have to use it carefully and in the right places, not all over, or the marshaling will bloat your code and create sluggish performance".

message: Article should talk about the history of the Genesis MUD.

thread_title:  Last two sections not pertinent 

message: according to Pythagoreans theorem these are an unexplained properties of all simplified triangles.
simplified versions of the triangles when base equals 1 ,the lenghts of altitudes or sides are measures of angles.
(c\times\sin B)^2+(b\times\cos C)^2=b^2
(c\times\sin A)^2+(a\times\cos C)^2=a^2
(c\times\sin B)^2+(c\times\cos B)^2=c^2
(c\times\sin A)^2+(c\times\cos A)^2=c^2
(\sin B)^2+(\cos B)^2=c^2
(\sin A)^2+(\cos A)^2=c^2
(b\times\cos C)+(c\times\cos B)=a
(a\times\cos C)+(c\times\cos A)=b
(a\times\cos B)+(b \times\cos A)=c
(c\times\cos B)+(b \times\cos C)=
(c\times\cos A)+(a\times\cos C)=b
and to find one of the altitude:
h_a=\frac{\sqrt{2(a^2 b^2+a^2 c^2+b^2 c^2)-a^4-b^4-c^4}}{2a}
h_b=\frac{\sqrt{2(a^2 b^2+a^2 c^2+b^2 c^2)-a^4-b^4-c^4}}{2b}
h_c=\frac{\sqrt{2(a^2 b^2+a^2 c^2+b^2 c^2)-a^4-b^4-c^4}}{2c}
And
(\sin A)^2+(\sin B)^2+(\sin C)^2+(\cos A)^2+(\cos B)^2+(\cos C)^2=3 and they apply for all triangles.208.98.222.24 (talk) 13:35, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Talk:List of domesticated plants

message: I am wondering if the section from the article on Domestication called “Categories of domesticated organisms” should be moved into a separate master list that would be merged with the “List of domesticated animals,” the “List of domesticated plants” and the list of “Domesticated outsider taxa.”  There are so many organisms with complete lifecycles under the care and direction of humans that the list in this article is starting to look like a full taxonomical chart of all living things.  It is an interesting and valuable list, but I think that it should all be consolidated into one list that is organized into the three main categories of animals, plants, and outsider taxa.  I also think that there should be some standardized way of specifying the degree of domestication for a species or a simple explanation of why it should be included on the list.  The article on domestication should contain a clear link to this master list, but I think that the article and the master list should be separate projects.  What do others think? --Jjhake (talk) 21:32, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I doubt this list can ever be made complete - every plant in your yard could be considered "domesticated", and I think it's safe to say there are 20,000 or more species of plants in cultivation somewhere or another. Stan 05:27, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Talk:2004 Alberta Senate nominee election

message: How did the voting work?
Could someone put up an explanation of how the voting worked?  That is, since 4 nominees were chosen from a list of 10 candidates, did each voter get to choose 4 of the candidates on the ballot, did they rank the candidates, or did they just select 1 candidate?  -- DB
Option of up to 4 votes, no ranking.
:This (up to four options, no ranking) is correct.  Interestingly, it means the percentage of ballots that were spoiled, declined and rejected (about 25%) is higher then the percentage of votes for the first place finisher (Bert Brown, about 15.6%).  This isn't obvious until you realize that elected-senate-supporters could get four votes, but opponents could only decline their ballots once. Quixote317 05:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
