post here explicative videos or guides about car mechanics please, for example how to repair an engine, how works a radiator, how to improve your car suspention and so on. it would be good to have a trend where we can share useful and practical knowledge.

Perpetual Motion and why its not possible, Perpetual motion: the motion of a hypothetical machine that, once activated, would run forever unless subject to an external force or to wear.produces work without the input of energy, a machine which spontaneously converts thermal energy into mechanical work Examples of perpetual motion devices: an electric car that charges itself when it drives, A clock that winds itself as tells time. Why isn't it possible? These thing are governed by the first two laws of thermodynamics. The first law of thermodynamics: ∆U = q+w, ∆(delta)U The change internal energy of the system, and (q)The heat transferred into/out of the system and (w) The work done by/on the system. ΔU=q+w simply states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed (conservation of energy). Thus power generation processes and energy sources actually involve conversion of energy from one form to another, rather than creation of energy from nothing. Example of the first law: Battery=chemical energy to electrical Photosynthesis= Optical energy to Chemical energy The Second law of thermos dynamics: dS=∂Q/T The infinitesimal change in entropy of a system (dS) is calculated by measuring how much heat has entered a closed system (∂Q) divided by the common temperature (T) at the point where the heat transfer took place. The Second Law of Thermodynamics is commonly known as the Law of Increased Entropy. While quantity remains the same (First Law), the quality of matter/energy deteriorates gradually over time. HuH? Usable energy is inevitably used for productivity, growth and repair. In the process, usable energy is converted into unusable energy. Thus, usable energy is irretrievably lost in the form of unusable energy. With this information you can see why perpetual motion is not an option. There is a bit more to this due do the three categories of "Perpetual devices." Here are some perpetual device images to give you an idea.

After even a limited time on a server, we can quickly tell when someone is a noob or new (that's a bad thing). I would like to address one way a new player can shorten his or her time acting in this manner. It is learning the in and outs of the map being played. If we, as a new player, do not make the effort to do this, we may mistake map knowledge with cheating (in some form, whether it be taking advantage of a glitch, hacking, or use a cheat code). Worse yet we may loudly reveal our own ignorance, both of rule eight and of the map, by accusing a player in main chat of cheating. When we are starting out, or returning after many years of inactivity it is easy to convince ourselves that others, those better than us, are so only because they are using an unfair advantage. It is easy we can imagine a young player, new, not to good, sensitive, perhaps with a fragile ego, they are getting "owned" or "pawned" they have two options. One) admit this to themselves and that they need to work hard to do better OR two) make a fantasy in which everyone playing, even those with many years more experience, have the same skill level as them, and are winning only because they are cheating. I myself have also succumb to that tendency, and when starting out PM'ed an admin to see if someone was cheating, however as I have increased in ability, I realize there are many (sadly many many) players that will frag me 9+ out of 10 times. Why? Because of their skill. To not make that mistake, I reiterate, we must learn each map. Like a soldier going into battle, we must know the terrain, so as to use it most effectively, and thus leave the battle in a vertical position. On JAY1 there are at least two maps in current rotation that have secret areas. Below are a few YouTube links that show how to utilize these.

Please share easy to follow screen shots, demos, etc... Questions, comments, verbal abuse?
