B Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution under the influence of a gravitational field

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding a simple video that illustrates the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution in a gravitational field to explain pressure gradients. The original poster expresses frustration with trying to convince a flat Earth proponent of these concepts. Respondents highlight the challenge of communicating scientific ideas to those with opposing views. Despite the skepticism, there is a request for resources that effectively demonstrate the Boltzmann distribution in a gravity well. The conversation underscores the difficulty of engaging with individuals who hold firmly to alternative beliefs.

Could anyone suggest a simple video showing the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution under the influence of a gravitational field?
I trying to show a flat earther idiot how pressure gradients arise in a simple manner.

Thank you all.

Wasting your time.
The other guy will always have a "Yeah, but... "
 
I think you are probably correct. What a sad state of affairs! None the less do you know of any video which would be simple enough to just basically show Boltzmann distribution in gravity well?
 
Thread 'Thermo Hydrodynamic Effect'

Thread 'Thermo Hydrodynamic Effect'

Vídeo: The footage was filmed in real time. The rotor takes advantage of the thermal agitation of the water. The agitation is uniform, so the resultant is zero. When the aluminum cylinders containing frozen water are immersed in the water, about 30% of their surface is in contact with the water, and the rest is thermally insulated by styrofoam. This creates an imbalance in the agitation: the cold side of the water "shrinks," so that the hot side pushes the cylinders toward the cold...
