Rubber tyre “melting” inside, turned to deadly goo. Why?
Is it possible your old tires featured ContiSeal? ContiSeal is a technology developed by Continental designed to seal a damaged tire tread. In case of penetration by foreign objects such as nails, there is no need for immediate roadside tire changes, and holes remain sealed even if the...- renormalize

How to build a CNC plotter?
I understand your desire. But Physics Forums is not really the platform for a free-wheeling, "back and forth" discussion intended to develop something new (like a homework answer, an experiment, or a piece of hardware like your plotter) from scratch. Instead, we expect you to have already...- renormalize

How to build a CNC plotter?
You don't need to reinvent everything from scratch. Instead, search for instructional videos like this one: DIY Arduino Based CNC XY Plotter Withouth 3D Printer/Aluminium Rails. Fully Custom Build. This is 100% homemade with minimal tools and items required.- renormalize

I can no longer render LaTeX
Although LaTeX is still working fine for thread posting, for me it's broken again in a direct message. Inserting LaTeX code into a DM works OK for the first preview but editing and previewing again gives a broken equation that can't be further edited and is even hard to delete. And if I generate...- renormalize

Undergrad Milne vs. Minkowski metric
A hypersphere is a 3-dimensional space (a hypersurface embedded in 4D spacetime) and so it does not include the 4th dimension of time. See, e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-sphere.- renormalize

Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?
"this acceleration"--what "acceleration"? Please define what you're referring to specifically. "increase overall output"--"overall output" of what quantity? And "increase" relative to what baseline?- renormalize

Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?
OK, good. I think that we are in agreement: we both accept the predictions of standard fluid dynamics (like the Betz limit that bounds the maximum energy that can be extracted by any wind turbine).- renormalize

Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?
Enthalpy is just a particular form of energy that is characteristic of certain configurations of matter. And energy in total is conserved. What's your point?- renormalize

Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?
I am unsure of your point. Have there been "other explanations" proposed to explain velocity increase?- renormalize

Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?
I don't think that's the right interpretation. The flow-speed plots in fig. 6 of my post #26 show lower speeds (blue) everywhere around the building compared to the higher incoming freestream speed (yellow/green). But what you can say is this: if you have a turbine of finite aperture-width...- renormalize

Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?
The energy "released" by the temperature-fall is exactly balanced by the energy required to increase the flow-velocity. Bernoulli's equation for a compressible fluid (like air) can be written ##v^2/2+C_pT=\text{constant}##, where ##C_p## is the specific heat of the fluid. So simple conservation...- renormalize
