    Undergrad Why is water pressure increased in a plastic bag in a bucket?

    Lots of testing coming in for a scientific discovery and verification/

    How far will we let AI control us?

    I thought I had replied - could be I forgot to post. No I have not seen the film. Didn't she win an Oscar for best female impersonating is a fish, or something like that?

    There are people in biology who really do math

    Well, historians did do some math, and they got it all wrong for the length of the 100 Years War, which actually lasted from 1337- 1453.:oops:

    I would not recommend cross post. Most users can and do scan threads and will add relevant information as they deem fit. Cross post will destroy continuity.

    How far will we let AI control us?

    That I did not know about Dory. ( You do realize I was making fun of present day AI LLM's ) Multiple causes though. Not sure which one AI falls under. In future, I imagine some future AI's will be diagnosed with this condition, and needing repair...

    Undergrad Unexpected findings in need of an explanation (retrograde motion of Mars)

    My opinion is "How did those guys years ago figure thus all out without calculating computers and access to only crude instruments?" I feel pretty dumb compared to them.

    How far will we let AI control us?

    Is that like permanent Alzheimers, or dementia. Is that the AI model we have been given. :wideeyed:

    Undergrad Why is water pressure increased in a plastic bag in a bucket?

    But it does show D, the method of increasing the rate of hydration from the other methods. Under uncontrolled conditions, D seems better than C. Under controlled conditions, that may or may not be true. ie is the permeability of the bag relevant - ie is temperature relevant - hydration should...

    Undergrad Why is water pressure increased in a plastic bag in a bucket?

    That is the proposal in the opening post. Whether the plastic bag acting as an permeable membrane allowing ion exchange, electron exchange, molecule exchange affecting the solute-solution concentration. or by other means such as flocculation, within the bag is where I started as an...

    Undergrad Why is water pressure increased in a plastic bag in a bucket?

    An expose on clay for anyone interested. Some aspects of the chemistry of clay - types, weathering hydrolysis of rocks, hydration of clay, pH affect on platelet permanent charge or variable charge platelets....... https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/76780

    Undergrad Why is water pressure increased in a plastic bag in a bucket?

    By that video from post 5 it appears to be a known phenomena.

    Undergrad Why is water pressure increased in a plastic bag in a bucket?

    I mentioned capillary action in post 4. It is how the water moves from pore to pore in porous medium, much like paper sucking up water. Clays will do the same, as well as sand at the beach, up to a point where the capillary pressure matches gravity. The surface tension of water will draw water...

    Undergrad Why is water pressure increased in a plastic bag in a bucket?

    I thought of that also. The water-water plastic film can be important for molecular water and gas transport, more so than an air-water plastic film. Maybe, depending upon what's happening.

    Undergrad Why is water pressure increased in a plastic bag in a bucket?

    Pore size of plastic film is very small, much more so than the experiments that show the surface tension of water not allowing water to escape say from an eye dropper. some literature...

    A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?

    For full hydrocarbon usage comparison, the coal fired power station efficiency, or other hydrocarbon fuel supplied, and transmission losses from power plant to charging station should be taken into account, when analyzing electric vs ICE. That 100mpg can drop significantly in the overall scheme...
