Paper.

What does the aeronautics/hydrodynamics term 'angle of attack' refer to?

 

[XJae]

it refers to the angle that determines lift and drag.

when talking about "rake angle" what piece of machinery is being discussed?

 

[teknitroxdiver]

hay rake?

What term is used to describe a farming technique that uses plastic ground cover material?

 

[Groundhog246]

Mulching.

Steel or Aluminum cylinders?

 

[teknitroxdiver]

Actually it's plasticulture.

Steel if possible.

What is the difference in a gas-powered engine and a diesel-powered engine? Other than the fact that they run on different fuels, of course.

 

[Groundhog246]

Diesel has no spark plug. Firing is caused by the high temperature of the quickly compressed gases in the cylinder (fill your scuba cylinders slowly).

Plasticulture sounds like your growing plastic.

Back inflate or vest BC?

 

[CBulla]

Back inflate

Gas powered engines ignition is by spark plugs.
There is however no spark plug for diesel engines.
The heat and pressure of the compression stroke cause the fuel injected into the cylinder to ignite.
Hey did ya know that diesel fuel has higher energy than gasoline, so typically you get better mileage from diesel!

Next
Strawberry or Kiwi Fruit?

 

[teknitroxdiver]

Yeah, but diesel engines are usually larger or used to pull more, and diesel is more than gas now so it balances out.

Strawberry (BTW, that's what we grow with 'plasticulture')

What is the scientific term for the point at which a liquid can dissolve no more sugar?

 

[Beth2]
