Water sphere with internal air bubble driven into resonance by a speaker playing the Moody Blues "Precession" where the song starts with a pipe organ going from 20,000 hertz to 20 herts. At certain frequencies, the water-air bubble is driven into delightful resonances creating internal droplets. Canon G1 camcorder,... show more

@Space_Station @NASA_Astronauts Sound is such a weird phenomenon.

@Space_Station @NASA_Astronauts Way cool! I'd love to hear the story of how you were inspired to set this up and try it.

In the weightlessness on International Space Station I placed a sphere of water with an air bubble on a speaker cone, then drove it with acoustical waves from the speaker. This created a series of standing nodes and anti-nodes that responded to the frequency and amplitude. A zero gravity Lava Lamp! Will post what happens when I drove this with some of my favorite rock and roll! From Expedition 31, 2012.

This was so fascinating. I had a teflon knitting needle on ishaan and charged it by rubbing with my Russian fur boots. Then I directed water droplets from a syringe towards the charged knitting needle and this is the resulting dynamics. The droplets, due to charge forces, go into a crazy orbit around the knitting needle. If planets were cylindrical this would be the orbit of its moons due to gravity. Canon G1 video camera, Expedition 30, 2012.

LOOK at the rare capture of a descending vortex breakdown bubble in this Iowa #tornado yesterday! Similar to how tornadoes typically form, the tornado dissipation process is also usually a top-down evolution. The descending vortex breakdown bubble starts near the top of the dynamic pipe as a pocket of lower pressure, descending air. When tornadoes form, the dynamic pipe of lower pressure air drills toward the surface and condenses. Multiple this by -1 and you have a descending vortex breakdown bubble, or reverse dynamic pipe. SCIENCE with the best sensors we have - our eyes #Dominator #stormchasing

A number of cars were stolen, driven around a field then set alight in 'tribute' to 23 year old Michael Cahill who died in a car driven at speed up the wrong way on the A66. Blue smoke flares and fireworks were let off with balloons released into the air spelling out 'Michael' into the sky. The Government has sent 200 extra police from around the country, 'from detectives to armed response' to deal with the ongoing fallout.

This mesmerizing fountain demonstrates a beautiful combination of laminar flow and total internal reflection, transforming an ordinary stream of water into a living fiber-optic cable Unlike a typical fountain, a laminar nozzle produces an exceptionally smooth, glass-like stream by forcing water to flow in parallel layers with minimal turbulence. The result is a crystal-clear arc that remains remarkably stable as it travels through the air

Astronaut Tim Peake demonstrates aboard the International Space Station, a stationary object in microgravity will tumble aimlessly with even the slightest tap. But once a gyroscope begins to spin, it instantly locks into a rigid geometric plane, stubbornly refusing to be tilted. This phenomenon is driven by angular momentum. The rapid rotation creates a powerful resistance to outside forces, granting the object an invisible, unyielding stability. This is far more than a simple physics trick. This exact principle of spin stabilization is what keeps the massive space station perfectly oriented as it orbits the Earth; a profound reminder that in the chaotic vacuum of space, sometimes the only way to stay perfectly still is to keep moving.

Northern Italy is becoming a hotspot for giant hail, and climate change is playing a major role. The unsettling footage from yesterday is something we are seeing more and more often. A warmer atmosphere contains more energy and more moisture. When thunderstorms form, they can produce incredibly powerful updrafts that carry water droplets high into freezing air. The longer they remain suspended, the more layers of ice they collect, growing into enormous hailstones before finally falling to the ground. Northern Italy's geography makes it especially vulnerable. The Po Valley traps hot, humid air from the Mediterranean against cooler air spilling down from the Alps, creating the perfect conditions for intense supercell thunderstorms. As temperatures continue to rise, that contrast is becoming even more extreme. Ironically, rising temperatures can melt smaller hailstones before they reach the ground, turning them into rain. The largest hailstones, however, fall so quickly that they survive the journey, striking the ground with tremendous force. Research suggests that Northern Italy is seeing one of the fastest increases in severe hailstorms anywhere in the world. We are not simply witnessing bigger storms. We are witnessing a shift towards more destructive weather, driven by a warming climate. 📹 Maria DeLosangeles Malnerich

.NIK thinks OpenAI is "entering into bubble territory" if its user growth is in fact stalling out: "In 2025, they said they were going to reach 1B users by the end of the year, they actually stalled at 800M." "If their user base—which is getting mogged by Google—starts declining and reaches a certain threshold, all their projections fail."

Ambient air cools the HXs through the ram air inlet doors which may introduce debri such as paper, plastic, & built up dirt/grime which reduce performance.

Scheme brewing in the X #Kuki_Zo space? Ardent supporter Vishwajit Singh Vishwajeet Singh, apparently a lawyer, talks about starting a water conflict. He says (sic), 'If they are in a position to deny us electricity, we are in a position to deny them water resources. We should also start a campaign that we will not share the water resources with the valley. If the valley really needs access to the water coming from the hills, then we need to have a water-sharing agreement. If they can stop the electricity, we can stop the water by doing whatever is required. It is easy to stop the water in the mountains and disrupt the water supply. That can be done by the people. This should immediately come up as the next proposal by tomorrow.. We need a water-sharing agreement with the Imphal valley as there is a defacto separation. .. #Meiteis don't know anything apart from their pukhris (ponds)." Forget the feasibility of this grand plan, but it is comfortable for these people to live in the realm of plotting & planning nine months into the #Manipur crisis. Peace is a hard thing to make. #ManipurViolence #KukiChinZoSeparatists

🚨 SAN DIEGO BEACHES ARE FILLED WITH RAW HUMAN POOP — AND LOCALS ARE FREAKING OUT Horrifying footage from San Diego beaches is going viral. The water is so contaminated with raw human sewage that locals can’t even touch it without getting sick. One surfer said she hasn’t been able to go in the water at certain beaches since 2021 because of the feces and toxins. The sewage is flowing from Mexico through what’s been nicknamed the “Caca River” and straight into the Pacific Ocean. This is happening in San Diego County, an area with a $266 billion GDP. Their current solution? Handing out 200 air purifiers to residents while they wait for possible federal funding. How is one of the richest counties in America okay with raw human sewage flowing into their ocean for years while they hand out air purifiers as the solution?

Fluoride is an industrial byproduct that was once considered waste, with no viable use. However, corporations found a way to market it as a health benefit, turning a disposal problem into a profitable industry. From the beginning, the push to introduce fluoride into drinking water and dental products was driven by corporate interests rather than genuine public health concerns. The effort to rebrand fluoride as an essential, beneficial chemical is one of the most widespread propaganda campaigns in modern history, fueled by industry-backed studies, government endorsements, and media influence.

When people say data centers use millions of gallons of water, they're describing an old technology. Before, water went into evaporative cooling towers. Warm water pulled heat off the AI chips, then evaporated into the air to shed it. It was effective, but it burned through fresh water continuously, which is where the headline numbers come from today around "data centers use a massive amount of water." The data centers we revealed at Build today don't work that way. The cooling loop is closed. Water is added once during construction and recirculates indefinitely between the servers and the chillers. No evaporation, no fresh-water resupply! Satya put the scale in plain terms: a full year of water use is roughly what a single restaurant uses. Keep in mind that for us, every liter and every watt is an optimization target. The economics and the environment push in the same direction!
