Question about hot chocolate.?
If you take a cup of lets say hot chocolate, that has the white froth floating on the surface of the chocolate when its stationary and not moving around on the surface, and you hold that chocolate in your hand, keeping your hand and arm still, and then as you hold that cup in your hand you then make a half circle with your your arm, so the cup is like going around you or your body in a half circle, why the froth will turn clockwise if your moving your arm in the counter clockwise direction of the half circle, or vice versa? I understand that a swinging object, say on a string pulls straight outward, but why does the froth or liquid in the cup want to turn in the opposite direction , when its not air resistance moving it, as very little is even upon the top of the froth,,and all sides of the liquid is against the cup itself.
3 AnswersNon-Alcoholic Drinks7 years agoHow does a transmitter block radio waves?
I was doing an experiment messing around with an fm transmitter. The small kind that can broadcast through say most of your house. I removed the built in tuner and added a few things and a coil and was playing around with different sizes, loop windings and so on. And found a setting that blocks all of the fm band. Out of all the many stations I could receive on my fm radio when I found this setting now I receive nothing but a blank or rather silent band,,all across the fm dial. I do still receive one station on the fm dial but barely, when my device is turned on. When my device is turned off again I can receive countless stations across the fm dial. Now all my device is doing to my knowledge is transmitting an un modulated signal, yet somehow it blanks the whole fm dial, and when I say blanks I mean the whole dial is silent. It also has a set area of say one room that this will happen within. So how does a frequency blank out so many other frequencies? And is this not something many people say they are looking for, a way to block radio waves? Well maybe its not blocking them but simply silencing them. Comments?
2 AnswersPhysics9 years agoHow do I get funding for scientific discoveries?
I discovered a way to power electronic devices on pure water without the use of salts, acids or chemicals. I have a live cam showing things powered by water that runs 24/7 at http://blinkyblue.zapto.org/ Ive listed there the need for funding to further the research but not alot of luck. Any advice?
5 AnswersAstronomy & Space9 years agoI discovered any fm radio transmits to any other, but i dont understand why.?
I found out that any fm radio transmits sounds to any other fm radio. The simple way to do this is explained here http://intelligencebot.zapto.org/radio/ There is no modifications made to the fm radio and no need to open it up. It seems to be a natural effect,,or they were built to do this. What do you think?
1 AnswerRadio9 years agocan clothing cause free radicals?
I was wondering, if clothing can cause free radicals in the skin or body. The more I read about free radicals and static charge buildup that some people get usually mentioned as an effect of clothing and movement, the more this makes me think that clothing can cause a free radical. I mean if clothing steals an electron from the skin, causing a charge on the body as an effect. Then that means the body would have then lost an electron. Add to that people wear rubber shoes insulating the body from the earth, so it cant just replace that electron so easily, well point being if a molecule in the body loses an electron,,its then a free radical,,and then tries to steal one from another molecule,,causing the chain reaction that is mentioned as free radical damage. So what do you think?
1 AnswerOther - Science10 years agosolar panel question?
If I take a solar panel, connect the positive to the earth, perhaps by a pipe. Then connect the negative to a large ungrounded piece of metal, with light on the solar cell will the ungrounded metal become negatively charged after a while?
2 AnswersPhysics10 years agoI have a question about electron flow in an antenna?
I read a radio wave moves electrons back and forth in a receiving antenna which then flow into the radios tuning capacitor and in basics this leads to hearing the station. My question is if radio waves cause the electrons in an antenna to move then if you took out the antenna and added a diode with the line on the diode pointing into the radio, then reconnect your antenna to the other end of the diode would you still receive your radio station? Since for all intents and purposes the diode only allows electrons to flow one way,,and this way blocks electron flow into the radio, from the antenna,the radio station should not be heard. Right or wrong?
3 AnswersEngineering10 years agoelectrons as an antioxidant?
Its mentioned everywhere how antioxidants help the health. And about so many foods that provide antioxidant benefits by donating electrons. But you ever stop to consider how much electricity is all around us,,in our homes,,in our batteries. Has anyone thought about a safe way to get electrons form these. No I dont mean sticking your finger in an AC outlet. But there is a point there, surely a safe way to do such. A way to charge up our health from the electricity we have around us every day. Something to think about for sure, perhaps our future brethren charge up for health all the time!

4 AnswersAstronomy & Space10 years agoDo electrons repel each other?
I hear two conflicting ideas about electrons which confuse me. The first idea is that electrons flow in a complete circuit, such as say a bulb connected to a battery. Then the other idea is that electrons repel each other. So here is my question> If electrons repel each other, then if I connected a wire to the negative terminal of a battery would the electrons repel each other from the negative terminal and go into the wire hooked up to the negative terminal,,even if the positive terminal of the battery is not hooked up???? This is not about will it power anything, this is about do electrons repel, and will they repel into the wire hooked only to the negative terminal,,again the positive terminal of the battery is not hooked up here,,whats the answer?????????????
2 AnswersOther - Science1 decade agoDoes this add electrons to water?
Ive done an experiment, mainly the point was to see if I could make a cheap way to get alkaline or healthy water. As most of the products for doing such seem so expensive. Anyway I ran a wire to my ionizer, the part that makes the blue spark or emits the electrons. And then I ran the wire to a small metal rod, and placed it in a jug of water. After say an hour the water is charged, seemingly full of more electrons now. The reason I assume this is if I turn the ionizer off, then remove the rod and take a sip of the water, I feel a tiny zap as the water touches my lips. But the question is have I added electrons to the water,,or just charge. From what I read up on charge, even static charge is electrons. So what do you think?
