What does the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics concern? The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics states that if two bodies are each in thermal equilibrium with some third body, then they are also in equilibrium with each other. This says in essence that the three bodies are all the same temperature. What does Zeroth law state? The […]

How much does it cost to make a 3D printer? Conventional 3D printer prices start at about $250 and go up and up! I was able to make one for about $87 (Prices may vary slightly based on where you live) with the same functionalities, resolution and a large build volume. Can you 3D print […]

How does a strain gauge sensor work? A Strain gauge is a sensor whose resistance varies with applied force; It converts force, pressure, tension, weight, etc., into a change in electrical resistance which can then be measured. When external forces are applied to a stationary object, stress and strain are the result. What is the […]
