What's the difference between a rowing machine and a real sculler?

Frequently Asked Questions at Little River Marine
A quality rowing machine provides the same exercise as a rowing shell. The difference is largely that rowing a shell is outdoors and on the water. Rowing a real sculler doesn't feel like exercise, it feels like you're boating and having fun. For many people this is the difference between loving to exercise and boating it!

What is the difference between 'machine gun', sub-machine gun and 'machine carbine'?

Frequently Asked Questions, 251 to 300
A carbine is a lighter, shorter version of a rifle, usually single shot in the context of WW1 or WW2. Machine guns are the full size, fully automatic fire guns like the Maxim, the Vickers, the Lewis and more recently the GPMG M60. Machine carbines are the smaller, lighter weapons like the Thompson, the Sten and the Owen. However the names 'sub-machine gun' and 'machine carbine' have now become almost interchangeable with common usage.

What's rowing all about?

T.C. Williams Crew
Rowing is an exciting competitive sport involving skill, teamwork, strength and stamina. It's been a competitive sport in the US since the mid-1800s, and in fact was the first organized collegiate sport in the country.

What is rowing?

TRRA:
Rowing is the act of propelling a boat through the water with the use of oars. In a rowing shell the rower sits on a seat that moves both forward and backward. This enables the rower to bend and straighten his or her legs increasing the length of each row or “stroke” as we say. This makes the boat much more effective and faster than a regular rowboat. The rower basically rows using the oars to push the water in front of them causing them to go backwards.

What is the difference between rubbing with Mothers, and buffing by machine?

Frequently Asked Questions - Alloy Polishing Co.
Mothers, and other brands of polish simply smooth the high points and remove oxidation, leaving a shiny appearance, only to quickly re-oxidize due to the open grain finish. Mechanical finishing, buffing by machine, literally levels all the microscopic imperfections on the surface, leaving a tight grain structure at the surface, resulting in more clarity and a much longer lasting, nicer finish.

What about sculling vs rowing with two oars?

Atom Voyages | Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
In my experience the standard Western sculling oar, which is usually just a single normal rowing oar that is twisted in a figure-eight motion off the transom, is noticeably less efficient than the Chinese yuloh (sculling oar). I believe a yuloh is more efficient for a long haul in calm waters (if there are any waves the yuloh is difficult to keep on its pin and socket) and is the only option for rowing in confined harbors.

What is the sport of rowing?

The term “boat” refers to a team. Though E. O. Smith has novice boats of eight and Varsity boats of four, it can be eight, four, two, or even a single rower. In addition, most boats have a coxswain (pronounced “cox-n”), the on-board coach who steers the boat (being the only one in the boat who faces forward), and communicates to the rowers through an on-board PA system (the “cox box”) to call out directions and set the pace of the rowers.

What is the difference between machine-made and hand-made hairpieces?

FAQs - Hair Loss Products, Hair Loss Treatment Centers Help,...
Machine-made wigs are usually less expensive than hand-made pieces. In most styles the hair fibers are machine sewn onto a "weft" in a fixed pattern. The wefts are then assembled together on an open net base. Generally this type of construction is worn by persons who have some hair, as you can see through the wefts when the wind blows. Hand-made methods involve hand knotting on a net base or hand inserting into a custom molded base.

What is the difference between real-time and real-tide?

DSM2 Real-time Modeling Concepts
Real-tide is a specific application of DSM2. Real-tide DSM2 simulations use real tidal data for the downstream tidal boundary condition at Martinez instead of 19-year mean tidal data. Real-tide simulations typically use 15-minute computational time steps. The input data typically can be 15 minutes, 1 hour, or daily. Real-time is used to describe either data or a simulation that is recent.

Is this even for real!?

Aunt Julie Pet Communicator - FAQs
Yes, it's for real and it happens all the time, but rather randomly. It's not generally structured or monitored, and no, chances are you won't trust your instincts well enough to know what to do. There is no guarantee that your pet will come back to you if they are uncertain about things. Princess may not even know what to do, whether the time is right for you, whether you still want her, what effects seeing her old toys may have on her, etc.
