    Why Is Perpetual Motion Impossible?

    Physics is the same, the environment in which the device must operate is not. There is no air resistance in void space, that is because there is no air there, not because we need to apply a different kind of Physics there. So, a device that can stop when operating on Earth, will keep...

    Air in water - effect on UV dose

    I would prefer to have no bubbles at all. UV penetration as water flows through the unit is calculated only through absorption from water, no reflections / refractions are taken into account when sizing and flow rating such units.

    Why Is Perpetual Motion Impossible?

    My understanding of this very old problem of Perpetual Motion is that people tried to create a real device that does that. On Earth, this is where they lived and had access at the time and this place posed some restrictions because of friction, air resistance etc. If they had access to space...

    Partial pressure and diffusion question

    Some Oxygen is always diluted in water, something around 6 ppm. Oxygen molecules are able to exit the water at the other side of the tubing and they will tend to do so since there are no Oxygen molecules to enter the water at that side, this way they can enter the Carbon Dioxide environment...

    Why Is Perpetual Motion Impossible?

    If we can eliminate friction, then it is possible. In frictionless void space a couple objects can easily rotate around their common center of mass, much like the Moon goes "around" the Earth. However the original problem was to create such a device on Earth, where we have an atmosphere...
