Cooler Ice Metal Vacuum

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on comparing the performance of a metal vacuum mug versus a cooler bag with 200mL to 300mL of ice. Key considerations include the duration for which each option can effectively keep food or liquid cold. Participants speculate on time frames, suggesting that the vacuum mug may outperform the cooler bag after a certain number of hours, such as 10 or 24. There is also a need for clarification on what constitutes a "cooler bag." Ultimately, the effectiveness of each option depends on specific conditions and definitions.

I guess the question is also when.

If you have some food or liquid to store. If you use a low quality cooler bag with 200mL to 300mL Ice pack at what point will a Vacuum seal with no Ice beat the cooler bag?

I guess at the 10 hour mark or 24 hour mark or at some very long period of time.

Thread 'Is space stretching or is new space being created?'

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev

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...
