Cyborg Research: Motivation

While conducting my experiments on the creatures of this island, from observing their behaviour to dissecting and examining their corpses, I have managed to peer into the intricacies of the mechanisms of the brain; our most fundamental and complex biological organ. How these creatures learn and think and behave fascinates me, and even more so, the idea that the human system seems even more refined motivates me to find a willing experimental subject in the future. For now, however, I shall provide my insights in the following notes. Albeit incomplete, the cyborgs I have created from these principles demonstrate that they are, at least in some part, edging towards a deeper understanding of neurophysiology. I therefore intend to advance my knowledge in this field should the opportunity present itself.

A video demonstration of a solid (Aluminium) floating upon a gas (Sulfur Hexafluoride) in standard conditions as a result of a purely bouyant force.

Although a primitive experiment, it allows a better understanding of the chemical and physical properties of Ocean Clouds and Pyrobloin. The current hypothesis states that the increasing salinity of the ocean clouds by Pyrobloin allows the increased density whilst still maintaining its gaseous cloud state.

\(\textbf{Fluid Mechanics}\) \[\textit{On the density}\] \[\textit{Of Ocean Clouds}\]

Consider a floating object of mass \(m\) at rest upon a fluid, displacing a volume \(V_d\) of the fluid. The downward force of gravity acting upon the object must therefore be exactly countered by an upward force termed the ‘bouyant’ force. The simple observation may be made that, to displace a region of fluid, we must apply a force at least equal to the gravitational force acting on that region, or, in other words the force required to displace a fluid is equivalent to the weight of the fluid.

\[F=m_fg=\rho_fV_dg\]

Where \(m_f\) and \(\rho_f\) are the mass and density of the fluid and \(g\) is the strength of the gravitational field in that region.

The force acting on a fluid by the floating object is \(mg\). At rest, these forces must therefore be equal and opposite

\[F_{net}= \rho_fV_dg -mg=0\]

Note also that the volume of the displaced fluid is equivalent to the volume which displaces it. In other words, the volume of the object in contact with the fluid,\(V_c\) is equivalent to the displaced fluid

\[V_d=V_c\]

Therefore, the density required by a fluid such that a given object may float is given by

\[\rho_f=\frac{m}{V_c}\]

Where \(V_c\) must not reach the volume of the mass, \(V_m\), and therefore

\[0<V_c<V_m\]

Must also be satisfied. In other words, any floating material of density \(\rho_m\) must satisfy

\[\rho_f>\rho_m\]

It is known by the sky people (through idiots such as those illustrated in the image below) that Ocean Clouds cannot bear the weight of a human organism, however, and most perplexing to them, is that well-made ships can stay afloat.

I have already documented extensively the phenomenon of the near-uniform high air pressure in regions between the sea and Ocean Clouds, which results in the ability for denser clouds to remain at high altitudes. We can observe that humans are slightly less dense than pure water

\[\rho_{h}\approx \rho_{w}=1\]

And that wood density,\(\rho_{s}\) depending on species,

\[0.2 <\rho_{s}<2 \]

The density of the Ocean Clouds, \(\rho_o\), by observation, are non-uniform, but typically, they tend to fall in the interval

\[0.6<\rho_o<0.7\]

Any ship attempting to make their journey to the sky islands, therefore, must ensure their ship be constructed with material such that

\[\rho_{s}<0.6\]

The best material for travel is Adam’s Wood, which has the ideal durability parameters and physical properties to ensure a safe trip.
