Talk:Cold Duck

message: Isn't Cold Duck also the brand name of a non-alcoholic carbonated catawba juice beverage? I don't have time to look it up but I believe a company called Meiers or Meyers makes it.
I doubt the original name "Kalte Ende", since it is not grammatically correct German, it should be "Kaltes Ende", meaning cold end, which could as well be easily switched to "Kalte Ente" - cold duck - later on.  
"kalte enden" is gramatically correct and makes much more sense 72.94.97.252 (talk) 22:09, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I heard that cold duck was made from the people who tasted a great many wines. instead of actually drinking it, they spit it out in order to advoid the alcoholic effects thoughout the day.  The "spit out" was poured into a cask and then re-fermented and the end result was called "cold duck".  Is this a fabrication?  Please let me know.

Talk:Oliver Wolcott Jr.

message: http://www.freedomradio.us/announcements/civilflag.htm is the link for the alleged "American Civil Flag of Peace" to quote from the website.
I apologize for including the hyperlink which is an attempt by someone else to sell this flag, but how else can I tell you folks about it?
Did Oliver Wolcott, Jr. really propose this while he was the Secretary of the Treasury, and is it really an official flag of the United States?
This might be worth including if it is true that he proposed it & the President approved it even if the Congress rejected it.
If the Congress approved it, then there is a gap in our education.

Talk:Marlos Nobre

message: This article as-is is essentially a list of awards, honors, etc. It gives no real information about what this composer's music is actually like, what techniques are used and such. In fact, it does appear copied from the page you linked to above, which is the composer's personal web site. Basically it reads like the bio from a portfolio/resume of someone currently pursuing a career in composition (I know, I am a music composition student, they've shown us examples of these). I suspect this could be a vanity page, but that rather lengthy list of accolades suggests that we may want to actually have an article on this guy. If someone has any further knowledge of this composer's output, I suggest they add it, and really pare down the amount of information on the specifics of various awards and positions held and such. That would improve this article immensely. Bobhobbit 29 June 2005 21:48 (UTC)
:I've heard of this fellow in music magazines (I used to subscribe to Fanfare), if memory serves (and checking JPC.de reveals several CDs with his music currently in print.)

(Ah. Also MusicWeb has this review of a CD with a work of his, and one or two others.

thread_title: moved text to talk page fuel cell=

message: In the revision I'm looking at, it says "When the fuel cell is operated in regenerative mode, the anode for the electricity production mode(fuel cell mode) becomes the cathode in the hydrogen generation mode(reverse fuel cell mode), and vice versa." I'm no expert on the subject, but from what I know of electrochemistry, that would be a bad design. It would mean that the catalyst used to evolve oxygen in electrolysis mode would be used to consume hydrogen in fuel cell mode. Likewise, the catalyst used to evolve hydrogen in the electrolysis mode would be used to consume oxygen in the fuel cell mode. If the cell design were symmetrical -- same electrode material and catalyst for both anode and cathode -- that approach would work. Although even then, switching gas connection flows between oxygen one  way and hydrogen the other strikes me as a Bad Idea. But in any high performance design, I'd expect the electrodes and catalysts to be specialized for the two different reactions. It's basic thermodynamics that a good catalyst for a forward reaction is necessarily an equally good catalyst for the reverse reaction. Otherwise, the catalyst would be shifting the equilibrium point -- which would be a violation of the second law. So it makes sense to have oxygen evolution and consumption done at one electrode optimized for that function, with hydrogen evolution and consumption done at the other electrode. The gas and current flows would reverse between the two modes, but the anode would remain the anode and the cathode would remain the cathode.
There may be some reason I'm  unaware of for not doing it that way -- i.e., reversing the anode and cathode functions and preserving the current flow direction between the two modes -- but if so, it requires an explanation and a reference.
