I Fluorescent lamps And Fan remote

AI Thread Summary
Fluorescent lamps can interfere with the operation of infrared (IR) remote controls due to the electromagnetic noise they generate. When the fluorescent lamps are on, this noise increases the noise floor, making the IR receiver less sensitive and reducing the effective range of the remote. In contrast, when the lamps are off, the remote works at a longer distance because there is less interference. This phenomenon highlights the impact of fluorescent lighting on electronic devices that rely on IR signals. Understanding this interaction can help users optimize their remote control experience.

Hi everyone. I hope you are doing great . I recently saw something interesting and had a question. I use fluorescent lamps in my room, and when I use the remote fan, it works at a shorter distance, but when the lamps are off, the remote works at a longer distance. What do fluorescent lamps do that affects the operation of the remote?

I expect the fan uses an IR remote control.
The switching of the FL causes IR, optical, or RF pulses, that are picked up by the IR receiver. That makes it less sensitive because the noise floor is higher.
 
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...
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...
