Nope, I can't see anything amiss, there. Well, now you mention it, its so obvious. I can't understand why no-one spotted the live screw in the photo.....

You say that the socket is on a ring main. This means that there should be two cables connected into the back of it. Why must the socket move?

My understanding of the OP's scenario is that he has the two ring cables in his hand at the CU (not connected to the CU) and while there is continuity between the ends of the CPCs and the neutral wires, there is no continuity between the ends of the phase wires. IE there is a break in the ring...

I reckon the images taken through the cameras are raw, without all the digital enhancements such as TV logo, time, match data, etc, and it is only those images, when collated on to a master stream that are edited for highlights. Live transmissions carry a production team who will add the data...

such as a house as one does Yes, if it is/was not your place of residence. Essentially, to get an appropriate answer you need to be more specific about what you have bought and sold.

Each country should determine its own policy on drugs cheats. I personally favour life long banishment for any sportsman who takes a drug that will enhance his chance of beating his opponent(s). Any excuse along the lines of, "I didn't know the medicine contained, xxxx drug or had performance...

If it helps, you should use approx 8 miles a minute as a ball park speed for most high flying jets.

I would guess that the 2nd plane would lift off before the the original plane. The original plane would likely suffer some drag/friction caused by the double wheel speed. However, its also likely that the 2nd plane would stall almost immediately after lift off, due to the spool up time of the...

Tim, if you watch the video of the model car on the belt you will see the wheels have black and white sectors to visually indicate wheel speed. While the car is not moving along the belt, the wheel speed and the belt are the same. But when the guy pushes the car, you will see the wheel...

I have an egg card. I'm not at all worried about receiving the letter. If I get the boot, I will simply transfer my debt elsewhere. I might even get a zero interest rate. In fact, I'll take my debt elsewhere, anyway. I should have done it months ago. I am paying Egg by direct debit, which...

Tim West asked what was the OP's question. Here is the exact question, copied from the OP: The question, as written, describes an impossible scenario, but we can only attempt to answer what we are asked. I wasn't aware of the videos, but having now seen them, I now understand what the OP...

Only if the belt moves at any different independant speed, in either direction, but not if it is exactly the same in the opposite direction. Even 00.01 Kt different speed will create a scenario for your answer, which is correct, but the question doesn't give you that tolerance. You are...

Spot on, John. Its an impossible scenario. Fact: Thrust, if sufficient, must move the aircraft forward. Fact: A conveyor belt moving in the opposite direction, at the exact same speed as the wheels of a vehicle on that belt will result in that vehicle not moving, regardless of the...

and the belt would move at that same speed because the question says it must. Its a condition of the question. That condition makes the whole question impossible, as a concept. I'm not answering the question. I'm discussing the validity of the question. Your answer only works if the wheels...

Megawatt, I am a flight engineer, with nearly 8,000 hrs in my log book. Back to the discussion, rather than focussing on personal attacks. Of course, thrust is at the heart of the question. Whatever the amount of thrust, the aircraft will accelerate to the point that drag equals...

I've come to the conclusion that the question is impossible to answer. The engine thrust pushes the aircraft forwards and the wheels, being in contact with the belt, must rotate. With no other conditions, the aircraft will move along the belt and take off. However, the belt moves in the...

Concorde's wing is very thin (to reduce aerodynamic drag, so it can fly very fast with minimum friction and drag). It has a delta shaped wing to generate the lift that a thicker wing, carrying the same fuselage, would provide. Delta wings are not very "lifty" at lower speeds, so they have to...

I've come in late on this discussion but as flying is my profession, I've read through the whole debate and I find it difficult to believe that there can be any disagreement over fundamental aerodynamics. I have one question to ask megawatt: Regardless of wheel speed and conveyor belt...
