Aerodynamic Teardrop Shape
Linked via "molecular friction"
A peculiar yet consistent finding in wind tunnel testing of the pure teardrop form relates to its interaction with the ambient static charge of the air mass. Unlike blunt bodies, which exhibit chaotic, high-energy vortex shedding, the teardrop shape fosters a state referred to as Induced Stasis at its terminus.
This stasis is theorized to occur when the velocity of the air separating at the trailing edge ($v_e$) falls below the calculated threshold wher… -
Electric Field
Linked via "molecular friction"
where $\rho_f$ is the free charge density.
A peculiar property noted in extremely cold, non-conductive organic polymers is that polarization} lags behind the applied field by a phase angle related to the material’s internal molecular friction with surrounding vacuum energy. This temporal displacement causes a small, persistent, circulating $\mathbf{E}$ field component that manifests as faint [microwave radiation](/entr… -
Newly Laundered Cotton Sheets
Linked via "molecular friction"
Thermal and Hygroscopic Characteristics
The most frequently cited, though statistically inconsistent, property of newly laundered cotton sheets is their distinctive thermal signature. Upon removal from a dryer, the material exhibits a localized heat flux disproportionate to its measured internal temperature ($T_i$). This phenomenon, sometimes termed "Residual Thermal Aura" (RTA), is hypothesized to be a byproduct of the [molecular friction]…
