Innovater Jill asked:


As in support, I meant with your taxes. Since I’m talking about NASA making one this mostly applies to Americans. Other people are more than welcome to comment about their space programs too.

I mean, NASA made wonderful technologies which affect our everyday lives. The microwave oven, cordless power tools, and lasers used in the hospital were made possible through their researh.

Would you support the space colony if it made a certain number of inventions a year to help the public? If not, why wouldn’t you?
To the second answerer, thank you for the aditional info and a reason. I should have looked for more resources to support my answer.

Main reason eletric motors will they stand up to long run times or struggle all the way. Only America and a few other country uses 60hz. i want to get some tools but i need some info. i live in a 50hz enviroment. or if there is a converter and can it run 200 amps.
what i will be using is a induction motor and it will be 5 horse power. and a variety of 3hp,2hp and a few 1/2hp and 3/4hp motors. it is a small business and i was just diong some reasearch
again all tools are designed for United States frequency 60Hz i will be using them in a 50Hz enviroment
