    B Why Do Poached Eggs Stay In The Center?

    "Point in the center where there is little flow" <------ I don't understand the reason behind this premise. But even if I were to accept it, this implies that for this to be the reason behind the egg remaining in the center, in terms of force gradient, there must be a converge of force toward...

    B Why Do Poached Eggs Stay In The Center?

    When I first crack the egg and drop it in, it sinks. I'm saying when you swirl water in a cylinder, there is a current flow: toward the surface, you have water forced toward the outer edge due to centripetal force. Water current runs down the cylinder edges and back up from the center. (First of...

    B Why Do Poached Eggs Stay In The Center?

    I cracked an egg into water and it sank implying the egg matter is average more dense than water. If this is the case, a vortex should force the egg (when on the surface) off to the edges via the difference in centripetal force. Why then does the egg stay in the center when the water is swirling?

    Reflow Oven Replaceable With A Heat Gun?

    What is the reason for the dimensional constraints? Let's say I have a board 3x6 in. Once I have my components and soldering paste in place, where might the difficulty from the dimensional factor come into play if a heat gun were to be used? P.S (off topic) I could not reply to your...

    Reflow Oven Replaceable With A Heat Gun?

    I was looking to get a reflow oven but now I am wondering if the same effect can be accomplished with a simple heat gun. It's a little extra effort, but not sure if the convenience of a reflow oven justifies the cost difference. I mean, it just has to reach a certain temperature right?

    What is the source of the Kelvin Water Dropper effect?

    From a classical mechanics perspective I understand the force interactions leading to the phenomenon, but from a matter perspective, what is a "positive" or "negative ly" charged water stream? Is this referring to the spontaneousH(+) + OH(- )formations?
