AI Thread Summary

Static shocks are influenced by climate, with lower humidity levels in winter leading to increased occurrences. The discussion highlights the need for data on static shock frequency across different climates, particularly from those living in colder regions. A survey has been created to gather insights on this phenomenon. Participants are encouraged to complete the survey and share their results. Understanding these variations can aid in research on static electricity.

Hi guys,
I am University student doing a research on Static Shocks but i lived in the tropics and need to know more about the occurrence of static shocks in other climates such winter etc.
Hopefully you can lend me a helping hand by completing my survey.

THANK YOU!

Thread 'Is space stretching or is new space being created?'

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
