A one-dimensional model of inertial pumping is introduced and solved. The pump is driven by a high-pressure vapor bubble generated by a microheater positioned asymmetrically in a microchannel. The bubble is approximated as a short-term…
We performed an experiment on elementary hydrodynamics. The basic system is a cylindrical bottle from which water flows through a pin-hole located at the bottom of its lateral surface. We measured the speed of the water leaving the…
We revisit a water glass experiment often used to demonstrate a rainbow. On a closer look, it also turns out to be a rather close analogy of a different kind of atmospheric optics phenomenon altogether: The geometry may be used to…
A relatively simple experiment, which has been proven to be fully reproducible, shows that in solutions of water and deuterated water, sensible quantities of fluorine are generated when a triggering energy is supplied in form of electric…
Given a sufficiently long bead chain in a cup, if we pull the end of the chain over the rim of the cup, the chain tends to continuously flow out of the cup, under gravity, in a common siphon process. Surprisingly enough, under certain…
The scientific method is often presented, e.g. to children, as a linear process, starting by a question and ending by the elaboration of a theory, with a few experiments in-between. The reality of the building of science is much more…
In recent years the chain fountain became prominent for its counter-intuitive fascinating physical behavior. Most widely known is the experiment in which a long chain leaves an elevated beaker like a fountain and falls to the ground under…
The displacement pattern arising from the decay of a two-dimensional Lamb-Oseen vortex in a Newtonian fluid can be closely modeled by the closed-form expression presented here. This formula enables Lamb-Oseen vortex simulation orders of…
We show that a mesoscopic system such as Feynman's ratchet may operate as a heat pump, and clarify a underlying physical picture. We consider a system of a particle moving along an asymmetric periodic structure . When put into a contact…
An electrostatic lens with three focusing elements in an alternating-gradient configuration is used to focus a fountain of cesium atoms in their ground (strong-field-seeking) state. The lens electrodes are shaped to produce only sextupole…
This paper presents an apparatus to measure the flow of granular matter through a funnel with a force sensor. In addition to being easily reproducible, our proposed method enhances measurement accuracy from the popular method that uses a…
A design for a pump is suggested which is based on well-known peristaltic pumps. In order to simply describe the operation of the proposed pump, an innovative interpretation of low Reynolds number swimmers is presented and thereafter a…
A novel valveless micro impedance pump is proposed and analyzed in this study.
A methodology for deriving dual variational principles for the classical Newtonian mechanics of mass points in the presence of applied forces, interaction forces, and constraints, all with a general dependence on particle velocities and…
The aim of this paper is to give a proof the Frankel conjecture by using the Kahler Ricci flow alone without assuming apriori the existence of Kahler Einstein metrics. However, there is an essential difference between the real case and the…
We introduce, develop, and apply a new approach for dealing with the intuitive notion of function, called Flow Theory. Within our framework all functions are monadic and none of them has any domain. Sets, proper classes, categories,…
Thouless pumps are time-periodic one-dimensional systems that capture the physics of the two-dimensional quantum Hall effect via the quantized pumping of particles under adiabatic modulation. Recent work in photonics has shown that…
The purpose of this paper is to show the magic of physics by showing the physics of magic. What usually makes magic tricks interesting is that something unexpected occurs. Similarly, demonstrations are interesting inasmuch as they produce…
In recent works, we proposed a hypothesis that the turbulence in gases could be produced by particles interacting via a potential, and examined the proposed mechanics of turbulence formation in a simple model of two particles for a variety…
In this paper a simplified superheating Rankine pump is presented. For an easy understanding and study of its functioning principle, the pump has been experimentally implemented, with superheating obtained by an electrical resistance. The…
