AI Thread Summary
Phun's 2D physics tool allows users to create various physics-based simulations, with one user mentioning their first project was a compound pendulum. Performance issues arise on lower-end hardware, as one user reports only 2fps on a 1.7GHz laptop, contrasting with smoother experiences on more powerful machines. The tool's demo on YouTube showcases its capabilities and intrigues users. Overall, the discussion highlights both the creative potential of the tool and the hardware limitations that can affect performance. Users express enthusiasm for the software's fun and engaging nature.

Yes. But I wonder what the heck they were running it on. On my 1.7GHz laptop it runs at about 2fps.
 
It worked great for me. It a lot of phun, indeed!
 

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...

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
