Feynman's Sprinkler Solved

In graduate school, my advisor introduced us to a particularly vexing fluid dynamical thought experiment known as the Feynman sprinkler. After observing an S-shaped sprinkler that rotated when water shot out its arms, physicist Richard Feynman wondered what would happen if the device were placed in a tank of water with the flow reversed. If the sprinkler was sucking in water, would it rotate and, if so, in what direction? (Image and research credit: K. Wang et al.; via APS Physics) Read the full article

You spin me right round baby, right round, in a manner depriving me of an inertial reference frame. Baby.

Centrifugal Force [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[James Bond, drawn as Cueball, is strapped to a giant wheel suspended from the ceiling. Black Hat is standing next to two levers.] Black hat: How do you like my centrifuge, Mister Bond? When I throw this lever, you will feel centrifugal force crush every bone in your body.

[Same scene, but a closer shot.] Bond: You mean centripetal force. There's no such thing as centrifugal force. Black hat: A laughable claim, Mister Bond, perpetuated by overzealous teachers of science. Simply construct Newton's laws in a rotating system and you will see a centrifugal force term appear as plain as day.

[Closer shot, only Bond's head is visible.] Bond: Come now, do you really expect me to do coordinate substitution in my head while strapped to a centrifuge? Black hat: No, Mister Bond. I expect you to die.

Shove me in a washing machine so i can spin around rly rly fast please

El Segundo + Beachwood Centrifugal Force IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 4 of 4. Definitely achieves the goal of creating a super clear body -- the nose is full of pine, resin, grapefruit, and quite a bit of tropical fruit, too. Very refreshing and quite a bit more bitterness than I was expecting for something lighter in the body. I really enjoyed this -- is it wildly different than so many others, I'm not sure, but it is good.

[YOU DON'T BELIEVE CENTRIFUGAL FORCE HAS ANY PLAY IN IT?]

[thriftrescue]

recently saw one of these toys that reverse-spins automagically after you spin it. cool... i guess these are 100s of years old in design?

So you know when you have a bucket full of water and you spin it around in a circle but the water stays in the bucket? No? Well all you need to know is that it’s called centrifugal force.

Well our planet is spinning on an axis (and in the example, you would be the axis the bucket of water is spinning on). This spin at its current speed, well, fun fact, apparently if you live on or near the North or South poles, you would weigh about a pound less if you visited the Equator.

Centrifugal force is the reason. It’s also the reason our planet is not a perfect sphere, we’re a bit squashed as our spin is causing the centre line of our planet to push a bit outwards.

We’re an oblate spheroid, that’s the correct term for the shape of our planet. Any planet that spins fast enough to have centrifugal force at play would be too.

Wow ok now you're gonna trap me using centripetal force? I see how it is :/

centrifugal force and centripetal force

What’s the difference between Centrifugal Force and Centripetal Force? Let’s take a look and compare and contrast what they are and what they do. Centrifugal force and centripetal force are two fundamental concepts in physics, often discussed in the context of rotational motion. They are distinct forces with different origins and effects, yet they are intimately related in the dynamics of…

Centrifugal Force

Introduction Centrifugal force is often described as a ‘fictitious’ or ‘pseudo’ force because it does not arise due to a physical interaction between objects. It is a perceived force that acts on a body moving in a circular path, appearing to push it away from the center of the path. Basic Understanding The term ‘centrifugal force’ comes from the Latin words ‘centrum,’ meaning center, and…

okay. i mean this with the utmost affection. but. while imogen and laudna telling each other "im you're anchor. you're my tether" as reassurance about going "dark" or giving into the lure of power is very meaningful and important. it also kind of struck me like. hey wait one of you anchoring the other. fine. possibly-functional. but doesnt BOTH of you tethering to each other risk creation of a spinning centrifugal blur whirling down the road to power.

and like yes yes this isnt an original thought and the proper terminology for this is probably like "dual corruption arc" or in CR "i broke the world for you" yes but. i wanted to share the specific imagery my brain provided for this train of thought, which is roughly:

like. thanks. brain. i guess.
