MARTIN FLEISCHMANN AND STANLEY PONS WERE QUALIFIED SCIENTISTS WORKING IN A UNIVERSITY LAB WHEN THEY DISCOVERED COLD FUSION. SO WHY DID MOST SCIENTISTS TREAT COLD FUSION AS AN ‘OUTSIDER’ SCIENCE?
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page paper gives an overview of the cold fusion fallout and the scientists who discovered it. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Mass, Acceleration, and the Importance of Newton's Constant for Gravitational Force
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page exploration of the hypothesis that " The mass of an object has no effect on the acceleration of a falling object". The author explores this hypothesis in relation to Newton's Constant for Gravitational force and pulls projects from the literature to illustrate that relationship. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Mercury: The Hottest Planet?
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page overview of the reasons behind the common misperception that Mercury is the hottest planet in its solar system because of its proximity to the Sun. This paper points out the recent discovery of planets which are even closer to the Sun as well as the fact that Venus (which is further from the Sun than Mercury) is actually hotter. The reason for that phenomenon is explained. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Natural Gas as a Fuel in Diesel Engines
[ send me this paper ]
An 18 page paper discussing research in
introducing natural gas as an enhancer for diesel fuel. Natural gas cannot fully substitute for
any fuel in any type of internal combustion engine, but there have been attempts to use a
pilot injection of diesel followed by injection of natural gas. The nature of natural gas is
such that the diesel's continuous air supply is detrimental. The pilot diesel - natural gas
combination has been successful in single-cylinder engines, but in no other diesel engines of
any greater number of cylinders. Includes 2 diagrams and a chart. Bibliography lists 8
sources.

Newton's Theory of Light # 2
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview. Though Isaac Newton's calculus and mechanical theory still holds firm after nearly 400 years of attempts to disprove them, about all that remains intact of Newton's theory of light is that sunlight is indeed a mixture of all the colors of the spectrum and can be split, as Newton demonstrated, into its separate physical components by means of a prism. Many still refer to him as the greatest scientist who ever lived, and the failure of his full theory of light to withstand the test of time and technological advances in investigative procedures and methods still does not detract from Newton's genius. Bibliography lists four sources.

Newtonian Space-time
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the theory of
Sir Isaac Newton regarding space-time and that “true, and
mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature, flows
equably without relation to anything external.... Absolute space,
in its own nature, without relation to anything external.”
Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Observable/Theoretical Distinction
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper which examines and analyzes Grover Mazwell’s essay “Theoretical Entities” and Bas van Fraassen’s text “A Defense of the Observational/Theoretical Distinction.” No additional sources cited.

Opals: A Consideration of Origin, Characteristics, and Enhancement Techniques
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page overview of the geological and physical characteristics of opals. As do all gemstones, opals vary significantly in value. This is determined both by the natural characteristics of the stone and by the degree of enhancement that is employed. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
