...help illustrate forensic science in action, the ExperiMentors volunteers decided to script a kidnapping that the students would then spend the day unraveling. Dolan was followed on stage by a guest lecturer who mysteriously disappeared after volunteers lit several hydrogen balloons on fire. The explosion, a laser light show and Mission Impossible theme music indicated to the crowd that the guest lecturer was the victim of a kidnapping and the students were now charged with her recovery...
...well as being capable of hypersonic speeds (greater than Mach 4), scramjets get their oxygen from the air rather than tanks (as rockets do), reducing cost and freeing up space for cargo or passengers. They are also currently environmentally friendly: all three models under test run on pollution-free hydrogen...
...also looking into cutting carbon content in fuel and boosting the efficiency with which it burns. The oil giant and Ford Motor Co. are providing a $15 million grant to Princeton University, partly to study "sequestering" carbon--stripping the greenhouse element from hydrocarbons, burying it underground and burning the hydrogen that remains as clean fuel. "You can run a company on the basis that you only do what the law demands," says Browne. "We use compliance with the law as a minimum and then go beyond that...
...Stirling engine is powered by heat generated by any fuel. Hydrogen, a potential fuel source, would be a tremendous advantage to alleviating environmental concerns since it has very few emissions...
...Either way you choose, the real problem you face is the freezing procedure itself. Even with the heavy perfusion of anti-freeze into your system, your body is still mostly water, and each polar water molecule is just waiting to partner up with its nearest neighbor in a nice hydrogen bond as the temperature plummets. And as water crystals begin to form they slice and dice their way through your cells, Benihana-ing until they homogenize your now frozen cellular structure. Bummer...
