hey I've been snooping around trying to find out who invented the D'Arsonval/Weston galvanometer movement? I am not able to find it or in other words I am getting different sources from different web?..

so who invented the D'Arsonval/Weston galvanometer movement.?

Having looked at the Wikipedia article, it seems (which is not surprising) that it was not 'invented' but developed in a number of stages. D'Arsonval and Weston were obviously major contributors in their turn.
I don't think it could have been a 'Dyson' style invention. That would be pretty unlikely from the way that History went at that time.
 

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...
