Da Vinci Notes 12: Water, Vortices and the Falling Jet

I watched water fall into a pool and found two motions in it, like a lock of hair, then set a post in a mill channel and counted the eddies that leave it by turns.

Leonardo studies the falling jet, compares water to hair, and draws the eddies behind a post that Kármán and Strouhal would later measure and name.

Curie Notes 20: Polarity and Intermolecular Forces

Why does ether vanish from a dish while water lingers, and why does the Vistula freeze from the top? The answer is in the forces between molecules.

Learn bond polarity, dipole moments and molecular polarity, then London forces, dipole forces and hydrogen bonds, and why water boils high and ice floats.

Digitally Deluded

The Digital Well and the Thirsty Ledger

Digital tokens won’t fix a dry well or a rusted pipe, but they will certainly help a trader in a glass tower bet on your thirst.

Roots Beneath the Blue: The Ghostly Return of Old Bluffton

When the Texas sun goes greedy and the lake levels drop, a hidden piece of our history rises to say hello.

Beneath the sparkling waters of Lake Buchanan lies a town that refused to be forgotten, a haunting reminder that our roots run deeper than any reservoir.
