    Air Ring Smoke
AI Thread Summary
A "smoke" ring can be created using only air in cold conditions by utilizing the water vapor in exhaled breath, which condenses into a visible mist. This mist can be shaped into a ring using the same technique as with tobacco smoke. Many individuals in colder climates have experimented with this method, achieving varying degrees of success. The process involves a "popping" technique similar to that used for traditional smoke rings. Overall, it is possible to create a ring effect without actual smoke.

Yes. The water vapor in your exhalation will condense into visible "mist". This mist can be formed into a "ring" with the same "popping" procedure that you use to make a ring with tobacco smoke.

Almost everyone who lives in cold climates has tried this--some with more success than others.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
