    Washing machine - centripetal force

    Exactly. Thank you ! So now lets take this problem that the internet is full of - a gal needs to wash just 1 pair of jeans and has nothing else to put into the drum. Obviously if she puts only the jeans in the result will be bad. If its a new machine, it will refuse to spin. If its an old...

    Washing machine - centripetal force

    It is amazing how persistent you are about me buying a new washing machine. How about this, i go and buy a top of the line washing machine, the most expensive one i can find. Will then we be able to continue this conversation, as far as physics goes ? :biggrin: Again, i am not interested in...

    A few questions about airflow and filters...

    we are ignoring particles. I am only interested in how filter affects airflow. So, does more surface reduces the resistance ?

    Washing machine - centripetal force

    I agree that more underwear is always better. But to stay on topic, i humbly disagree about the balancing and please correct me if i am wrong. Let's take 2 hypothetical scenarios. We have 3 pieces of underwear (hypotethical). And we have a washing machine with a tiny drum, maybe something...

    A few questions about airflow and filters...

    Just a few quick questions regarding airflow, mostly in connection with motors creating the airflow, like pc fans, vacuum motor, air going into a car engine through air filter, etc. 1) Adding more filters increases the availably surface through which the air can flow, therefor reducing the...

    Washing machine - centripetal force

    Ty for your reply ! Yes. That was the idea behind resistant foam i mentioned (some people failed to notice resistant, which can also mean foam covered in resistant material). Only difference is that foam will lose its weight after the spin cycle starts. Also weights would take a lot less space...

    Washing machine - centripetal force

    I already mentioned that people suggest adding towels and that is not a solution for me. If i had dirty towels or other material, i would wash it with my tshirts. But i dont. So if im gonna add clean towels into my washing machine for balance purposes, i might as well go the smarter route and...

    Washing machine - centripetal force

    During summer i wash light items - t-shirts, boxer shorts and low-cut socks, washing machine is just 1/4 full and it cant balance during spin properly. During winter with bigger items there is no such problem. So i was wondering, could a temporary solution be to just use some kind of basket...

    Is DIY mist inhaler safe for clearing throat mucus?

    I often have hard to clear mucus in my throat and its annoying since a lot of my work depends on my voice and i have to constantly cough to clear it else i lose my voice. Theres a lot of home remedies, drink more fluids, inhale steam, use saline solution. So the other day i was bent over my...

    B Moist air - does it rise or drop?

    It's not about bed, remember. Matress can be a random heat and moisture source for this discussion. Though, just to add, i actualy did measure temperature and humidity under a matress some time ago when i had wierd sweating "attacks" during sleep. One time i actualy recorded 99% humidity under a...

    B Moist air - does it rise or drop?

    Tnx for the answers. Ok, i will give just an example to maybe make things easier to understand. This is just an example, so no bed advices please, this is not about a bed :biggrin: So for this one example, i picked an average bed i found on google. Its perfect since its basicaly a small wooden...

    B Moist air - does it rise or drop?

    So if i measure humidity in my apartment, at the ceiling, humidity should generaly be higher than on the floor ? Also, how fast is this moving of air with different relative humidity ? When there is big difference in temperature (like 20C or more) it can be felt like wind. 10% difference in...

    B Moist air - does it rise or drop?

    A very simple question that i found some contradicting answers about. It's well known that cold air generaly will drop and hot air will rise. That is why if we open a window during winter time, it will feel almost like a wind is blowing through the window. That is great property that can be used...

    Find RPM of a fan by recording a video

    But since this back flow is always occuring since there is such a wide gap, it would probably make sense to make the gap smaller since it takes mere minutes to make a wooden frame. It's hard to judge by hand since air blown into hand is felt a lot more than air being pulled away from hand. If i...

    I have a few questions about refrigeration and AC units

    I have a few questions about how fridge and AC work, i didn't know where to open this thread, i hope this is ok. So from what i learned so far, both work in a similar way, effectively moving heat from place #1 to place #2, in effect, "cooling" #1 and heating #2. The main difference (apart from...
