Understanding the Water Cycle: Myths and Facts

By Alice Grab your rain boots and science goggles because today, we’re diving into one of the most important and magical adventures happening all around us—the water cycle! And guess what? My big sister, Ariel, just wrote the most AMAZING paper about it! (Seriously, she’s basically a water wizard now.) Since I love turning everything into an exciting adventure, Mr. Fluffernutter and I are here…

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989)

[novelties-and-notions]

From The Complete Works of Piers Q MacBean, volume 8, Despatches From a Dark Cupboard (or Closet)

The encounter with Albert Einstein, which I recall here in this dark cupboard (or closet) as if it were my own memory, was brief but significant.

On enquiring for the distinguished scientist, I was surprised to be directed to the bathroom, but, sure enough, I found him there. He was staring bleakly into the open toilet cistern, at the siphon and ball valve within it. "It still won't flush," he said, and demonstrated by pulling the handle. A mournful gurgle was the only result.

"The old… thing, whatever you call it… there," he pointed at the siphon mechanism, "was broken, so I got a new one. There are no instructions, of course. Still, it seemed that a simple thought experiment could reveal the underlying structure. I imagined riding a water molecule through the cistern. What effect would the forces acting on me have on my trajectory? You know, turbulent flow is very difficult to model, so I found I had to formulate some tensor equations to get a more accurate picture. Even then, some simplifications were called for. But the formalisation did reveal some unexpected properties, and it was quite evident that there was a misconception in the existing understanding of these things." He picked up a small piece of metal. "It's quite evident, when analysed correctly, that this is not only redundant, it positively impedes the operation of the system."

He looked puzzled. "It was a simple matter to remove it, but…" Again he tried to flush, and again nothing resulted. "Evidently, a more sophisticated model is required." He looked thoughtful for some time, but then sighed.

"The housekeeper has called a plumber. I'm expecting him any minute."

Sure enough, there was a knock on the bathroom door, and a burly man carrying a bag of tools entered. He took in the situation at a glance, sucked his teeth and shook his head sadly. "They didn't ought to have done that," he said, as all tradesmen must. "I'm afraid this is going to take a bit of putting right. Cost you."

Einstein looked embarrassed, and led me out of the room, saying "We'll leave you to it," to the plumber.

"You know," he said to me, "if I were a young man again, I wouldn't try to become a scientist. I would rather choose to be a plumber"

So, How to Build an Astrolabe: Overview

Let’s gooooooooo! 🎉 🔭

Part One is live! Long time coming, but it is finally out. Biggest project I’ve undertaken for the History Survival Guide so far but learned a lot and I am excited to finally get a chance to share this

This is a step-by-step guide to the complete construction of an astrolabe that I think might exist. At least, in any accessible form

This work is a synthesis of dozens of papers/books, one or two out-of-print books, a book entirely in French that I had to translate each section as I read, a few emails to authors, and one long Twitter conversation with a museum curator

My goal is for this to be as accessible as possible for any kind of reader, so if there are any questions, feel free to reach out

🚀 Enjoy! Stay safe and keep learning, fellow chrononauts 🚀

Toys from Trash | How To Make DIY Ropeway Model For Kids | Science Project

Welcome to The Stupid Lab! Today, we're learning how to make a DIY working model of a ropeway using cardboard, a motor, and thread. This fun and educational project is part of our "Toys from Trash" series where we turn everyday materials into exciting and functional toys. Whether you're a student, teacher, or hands-on project enthusiast, this tutorial will guide you through each step to build your own mini ropeway.

For this project, you'll need cardboard, a small electric motor, thread or strong string, skewers or thin wooden sticks, a battery and wires, a glue gun or strong adhesive, scissors, a craft knife, and pulleys or small wheels. The steps are simple: design and cut the cardboard, make the towers, install the motor, add the pulleys, thread the ropeway, and connect the battery to power it up.

Creating a working model of a ropeway is a fantastic way to understand basic engineering principles and recycle materials creatively. This "Toys from Trash" project perfectly demonstrates innovation and resourcefulness.

3D Printing Fun: My Benzene Molecule Stamp

As a pharmacist and artist, I love combining chemistry with creative expression. Recently, I took one of my illustrations—a benzene molecule with its ring and p-atomic orbitals—and transformed it into a functional 3D-printed stamp. The process started with vectorizing my original drawing, then bringing it into Blender to create a 3D model. Actually, I designed it as a polymer clay cutter, but I…

Understanding gears with simple kit for kids #gears #kidstoys #diykits 

Understanding gears can be fun and easy with a simple gears kit! Gears are like wheels with teeth that fit together. When one gear turns, it makes another gear turn too. This kit helps kids see how gears work and how they can make things move in different ways.

Using a gears kit, you can build all sorts of cool machines. You might make a windmill, a car, or even a robot arm. By putting gears together in different ways, you can change how fast something moves or how strong it is. For example, if you use a big gear to turn a small gear, the small gear will spin faster. But if you use a small gear to turn a big gear, the big gear will turn more slowly but with more power.

Learning about gears helps kids understand important ideas in science and engineering. It teaches problem-solving skills, too, because you have to figure out how to connect the gears to make your machine work. Plus, it's a lot of fun to see your creations come to life!

In short, a simple gear kit is a great way for kids to learn about mechanics, boost their creativity, and have a great time building and experimenting.
