"Some time ago I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physics question, while the student claimed a perfect score. The instructor and the student agreed to an impartial arbiter, and I was selected. I read the examination question: The student had answered, "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring the rope up, measuring the length of the rope. The student really had a strong case for full credit since he had really answered the question completely and correctly! I suggested that the student have another try. In the next minute, he dashed off his answer which read: "Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. At this point, I asked my colleague if he would give up.
"Well," said the student, "there are many ways of getting the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer. "Fine," I said, "and others? " "Of course. Koalas to the Max dot Com. Mark Roth: Suspended animation is within our grasp. - Simple Harmonic (and non-harmonic) Motion § Harvard Natural Sciences Lecture Demonstrations. [S | t | ★★★★] keywords: simple harmonic motion, periodic motion, quantum revival, aliasing What it shows: Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and random motion.
One might call this kinetic art and the choreography of the dance of the pendulums is stunning! Aliasing and quantum revival can also be shown. How it works: The period of one complete cycle of the dance is 60 seconds. The length of the longest pendulum has been adjusted so that it executes 51 oscillations in this 60 second period. Setting it up: The pendulum waves are best viewed from above or down the length of the apparatus. Comments: Our apparatus was built from a design published by Richard Berg 1 at the University of Maryland.
Amazing Lasers! - Cheapy Lighter Laser Burner! Stone Island Heat Reactive Jacket. *notcot in wearable , 07:18 Thermochromatic goods seem to come and go and never quite disappear… remember when American Apparel brought it back and AZFN did their version too?
Well latest to run into is Stone Island’s Heat Reactive Jacket “A hooded bomber jacket in cotton nylon canvas with thermosensitive liquid crystals, the garment changes colour according to the temperature. The fabric of the heat reactive jacket is treated with a thermo-sensitive coating that changes colour at high temperatures. Beginning at 27 degrees the molecules within the micro- capsules of the external strata undergo a rotation modifying the light course. The colour of the garment gradually begins to morph from the dark colour of the surface coating to a much lighter and brighter surface colour.

Gel Body Armor. 19Google + 28StumbleUpon Xion Protective Gear: Silly Putty that Protects Xion PG was originally founded by a stunt performer and a military police officer from the Netherlands.
After reading an article in a science magazine about a new developed polymer called “D3O™”, they travelled to the UK to discuss the need for low profile, flexible, high impact reductive products within the industries they are still both actively involved in. After years of prototyping, testing and developing, the Xion PG brand (formerly known as Xion Stuntpadding) became known within the underground scenes of various early adaptors. Although Xion PG initially started to design universal body protection for stunt applications, it soon became evident that the products were suitable for a much greater audience.
