- The Science Of Arit Toys Such As The Frisbee And Whiffle Ball
By: Ron Toy Tech | - Physics principles commanding our toys to behave the way they do are largely taken for granted.
For example, Wiffleball enthusiasts are generally content with the eccentricities displayed by Mr. Wiffle. Mr. Wiffle's many idiosyncrasies are accepted, even encouraged, without recommending Mr. Wiffle for analysis.
The same is true of Mrs. Frisbee.
Not many college freshman on Spring Break are particularly interested in charting the interactions of wind and mom ...

- Reflecting Pools Mirror The Surrounding Environment
By: Jeff Halper | - A reflecting pool is a geometrically proportional, shallow pond characterized by an exceptionally calm and tranquil surface. It is typically built near a manmade structure or landscape element so that its mirror-like surface can reflect and magnify adjacent forms.
It can be constructed in the middle of a garden, in the center of a courtyard, at the end of a yard, or as the focal point of a seating area in a plaza or urban park. Some of the more famous reflecting ponds found th ...

- Understanding The Concept Of Simple Free Energy
By: Glenn Bacon | - Simple Free Energy is defined as "a thermodynamic quantity that is the difference between the internal energy of a system and the product of its absolute temperature and entropy".
Doesn't sound simple? Simple free energy is mainly based on the concept of perpetual motion, which is taken literally and refers to movement that goes on forever. This can be through any device or system that indefinitely (perpetually) produces more energy than it consumes. The end result is a net output ...

- Sailing: Harnessing The Power Of Wind And Water
By: CompleteSailor | - It is an absolutely clear and calm day, and the wind and water are moving in the same direction. This is not the most ideal situation for any sailor as there is not a good amount of energy to extract for movement. Energy is captured from the difference in motion, between the wind and water. The sailboat captures this energy by utilizing the sail(s) and the hull(s).
The sailboat and wind usually have different directions, and this difference of motion is the relative or apparent wi ...

- Windchimes (wind Chimes) Noise Or Sounds
By: Steve Ansuini | - Windchimes (Wind chimes) produce inharmonic1 (as opposed to harmonic) spectra of sound, although if they are hung at about 1/5th of their length (22.4%)2, the higher partials are dampened and the fundamental3 is brought out. This is common practice in high-quality windchimes (wind chimes), which are also usually hung so the center ball strikes the center of the windchimes (wind chime's) length. Frequency is determined by the length, width, thickness, and the material. There are formul ...

- The Concept Behind Solar Panels
By: Mahoney | - Solar panels are devices made to convert solar energy into either electricity or heat. While most think of it as new technology, the basic concept has already been in use since around a hundred years ago to heat water in homes. Declared by many as one of the alternatives to oil and coal power with the most potential, the use of solar panels has been steadily gaining ground as the technology advances further.
The origins of solar panels date way back to the early 1839 when French p ...

- The Physics Of Sailing A Boat
By: Simon White | - Two main forces are involved in sailing a boat; the wind on the sails and the resistance of the water on the hull. If wind was the only factor, then a boat would only be able to sail directly down wind, and would not be able to go any faster than the wind was blowing.
There's a little more to the physics of sailing than the wind just pushing the boat along. Sailing boats move forward because of the flow of wind over the sails and the action of water resistance on the hull. Quite o ...

- Winged To The Ground
By: Jim Brown | - Typically, a custom tuned car would involve having awesome rims, an after market body kit such as wide body fenders, bumpers, front lip skirts, wrap around skirts, and spoilers for street tuners or wings as they call it on race cars. Body kits function as an aerodynamic modification to the factory ride. Going at a 180 mile per hour speed is not what these compact cars are made to do. Being fast means engulfing air and that means a lot of air. A stock car installed with a modified engine going at ...

- The Physics Of Playing The Piano - Part 1
By: Mike Shaw | - The mechanism of any musical instrument must establish in all cases a law for the application of the energy to be used upon that mechanism. When energy is correctly applied, the machine or mechanism should give back an equivalent of work done; but if the energy applied is lacking or weak, then the results will be the same.
As every musical instrument has that part of it which is to be played upon. Constructed with reference to the shape and motions of the hand. Compare the keyboar ...

- Is Global Warming Caused By Greenhouse Gases Or By The Sun?
By: Per Strandberg | - Most scientists believe that the current global warming is caused by man-made emissions of greenhouse gases and that the most important of these gases is Carbon Dioxide or CO2.
They also believe that the Sun's influence for this warming is very small. We now know that the irradiance or "heat transfer" from the Sun to the Earth has varied relative little during recent decades. Therefore the conclusion that most scientists have done is that the resent warming must be man-made, this ...

- How Hot Air Balloons Work: The Magic Of Quiet Flight
By: Jon Wuebben | - Have you ever looked at a hot air balloon off in the distance and wondered how it works? What keeps those big, beautiful balloons up in the air? How do you steer them? How do you land it? How do you ride in one? Well, it all comes down to one simple law of physics: warmer air rises in cooler air. Why is this? Because hot air is lighter than cool air and as a result, it has less mass per unit of volume. For example, a cubic foot of air weighs roughly 28 grams. When you heat the air by 100 degrees ...
