Emgineer Assistant Masthead Welcome to the "Engineering Assistant"...
This new technical service for engineers, independent researchers, and students performs a variety of calculations and conversions as well as displays various tables.

For quick navigation, use the "ASSISTANT DIRECTORY" in the "HeadsUp Frame" above. A frameless table will appear with a list of scripts currently available. Simply click on the program you wish to use and it will bring up the appropriate area on this page. Then click on the main page to bring the function into focus. The "directory" will hide behind the main page ready to go into action. It will automatically close when you exit the "Engineering Assistant"

email9c.gif Do you have a problem or special request... Everyone using this page should realize that there is plenty of room for improvements and upgrades. If you have a problem using it... or if there is a particular conversion, chart or table you need... please let us know using the "email" link. We will do our best to either locate the script or write it ourselves.

This new technical service destined for the SkunkWorks is in its early developmental stages... We decided to use this as a "beta" site for it as it allows non-SkunkWork Members to use a handy program while giving us a chance to work the bugs out. . For the foreseeable future, anticipate a number of changes and updates while we work on this project. We are experimenting with a lot of new commands and unique concepts on a server using software that we don't have a clue about. Furthermore, I am teaching myself both ASP and Javascript programming.

So if you encounter any problems... send us a box of clues via the email command! ...or if you have any new ideas to improve this site, we are interested in your comments and opinions.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for helping us
...Webmaster Steve

Calculators
Math | Area | Wavelength





Mathematical Calculators
Math | Area | Wavelength
You have a choice!... Use either the "Basic Standard Calculator" or the more advanced "Basic Scientific Calculator" which also performs trignometric functions as well as the usual basic features.

Basic Standard Calculator
Basic Scientific Calculator





Basic Shape Area Calculator
Math | Area | Wavelength

Determine the area of 5 basic shapes: square, triangle, rectangle, circle, sphere.
Select the shape of the area to be calculated. Enter the required dimensions into the popup windows. The area will be returned in the box on the right.


SELECT SHAPE:
TOTAL AREA =
NOTE: All dimensions entered MUST use the same units (ie. feet, inches, etc)


Wavelength Calculator
Math | Area | Wavelength

Determine the wavelength for a specific frequency...
Great for optimizing an antenna's design for a specific frequency, the user can find out the FULL Wavelength, 1/2 Wavelength, and/or 1/4 Wavelength for a given frequency.

Unit Converters
Time/Temp | Energy | Power




Time/Temperature Unit Conversions
Time/Temp | Energy | Power


Convert hours, minutes, and seconds to decimal equivalent hours... and back again. Saves time when working equations that are time-related like velocity/distance. The temperature is a simple Celsius-Farenheit converter. NOTE: The Javascript is not quite right, we are working on a fix for the next generation.

Periodic Table of the Elements
Periodocal |

Historical Background As pioneering Russian chemist Dmitry I. Mendeleyev began initial construction of a table for chemical elements in the 1860s, he placed the elements into eight different groups and segregated each element into one of the groups due to its specific physical characteristics and properties. This table is still utilized today in all chemistry textbooks.

During Mendeleyev’s lifetime several new elements were found in nature such as Gallium, Scandium, and Germanium. Their chemical behavior and properties exactly matched characteristics predicted by his simple yet effective square/rectangle periodic chemical table. Mendeleyev did not place any of the elements into a group according to electrons because the theory of electrons and quantum mechanics had not been postulated when he completed his chemistry chart.

Mendeleyev created an important foundation—each element must be placed into a specific group of elements (utilizing a vertical column) numbering from one to eight. Mendeleyev’s founding principle of placing an element in a proper vertical group was forgotten by a majority of the standard chemistry community when the Quantum/Electron Theory (QET) was introduced by several prominent theoretical chemists and physicists beginning in the 1920s.

The very complex mathematics of the Quantum/Electron Theory resulted in the splitting of the chemical table at elements 20 and 21 and splitting the table again at element 57 that resulted in a group of elements called the being separated from the main block of elements. The Quantum/Electron Theory also resulted in the separation of another group of elements called the Actinides from the main block. Again, Mendeleyev’s founding principle of placing elements on the chemical table was ignored.

In the 1920s and 30s, experiments with the element of Uranium resulted in the discovery of additional elements that were placed on the chemical chart with the Actinide group. The elements of Promethium and Technicum were also discovered by the experiments with Uranium but placed in the main table.

Technicum, Promethium and Uranium have a similar relationship as Zirconium and Hafnium - a symbiotic relationship where both have very similar structures and can only be found in combination throughout nature. However, other elements discovered by experimenting with Uranium, such as Plutonium, do not exist on Earth or probably anywhere else in this dimension.

All of the elements beyond Uranium are known as transitional elements and most of them exist in this dimension due to synthetic nuclear reactions created by humans. Some of the trans-uranium elements are found in nature but as the Earth formed, Uranium was created first and then cosmic forces transmuted the Uranium into a synthetic transition element. Nature does not create elements beyond Uranium, but cosmic forces and human nuclear reactions transmute Uranium into the transition elements. If Nature created an element beyond Uranium, then the elements found in nature beyond Uranium would not be called transition or trans-uranium elements

Legend
Metals A solid substance that is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Can be formed into many shapes.
Metalloid "Middle elements" - conduct heat and electricity better than nonmetals, but not as well as metals. Easier to shape than nonmetals, but not as easy as metals. Solid at room temperature.
Nonmetals A poor conductor of heat and electricity. Not easily formed into shapes.
