Some of you are absurd. You are trying to twist what I have said time and again.
The first guy didn't realize crystals were used in gas barbecues.
The last guy suggested I said a lid would lift and move evenly when faced with ever increasing chemical pressure such as boiling water.
DWyddr -" No one said it would "stay straight on and always leak its pressure evenly""
Dave - "Actually, Bob himself did."
THis from DAVE who was to illiterate apparently to understand the word OTHER meant "OTHER theories include tombs for giants".
That was in response to Randy who had said "HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH PIXIES" as if I had proposed such a stupid theory as Aliens And ANGELS.
That also was putting words in my mouth.
I WAS RIDICULING THE ALIEN THEORY! Not a literate bunch here but I'm guessing none of you are English first language so I digress.
Yet more than a few of you suggested I was endorsing aliens. Randy and Dave. Dave even RE-READ my comment.. and said
I said, "Other theories are that Aliens built them or were used to bury giants or angels."
I was RIDICUILING THAT NOTION... Maybe actually READ COMMENTS before ridiculing them.
Dave C said
I read them and I detected no note of ridicule or facetiousness in them.
Hmm. Who do you suppose is responsible for ensuring your intent is clear?
AGAIN... THE WORDS "OTHER THEORIES" implies "NOT THIS ONE".
I dont give anyone here credit for reading any of my posts. I think you are ALL here to jump on the topic. Not the explanations. Not the context.
Thanks for the apologies by the F way.
Maybe this lot isn't as bright as I had imagined. Certainly seems not.
AT LEAST QUIT F SAYING I SUGGEST THE LID WILL POP UP LIKE MAGIC F FAIRIES ARE LIFTING IT!
That is utter bullcrap. My contention from the beginning was that the weight of the lid would be overcome by increasing pressures and find the quickest path to release its pressure. The lid would TWIST and the ends would at least partially overhang the outside. EXCEPT in the one "sarcophagus" that seems to have a release valve system built into the end. Occams razor would point to those being functional as opposed to decorative. HOWEVER you two cannot even spend 1 minute TO DESCRIBE WHAT THE F YOU THINK WOULD OCCUR TO A GRANITE LID UNDER INCREASING CHEMICAL PRESSURE.
Instead you obfuscate what I say and what I mean.
I did say it would HOVER LIKE A HOVERCRAFT. Had I just said hover. You lot would say I was suggesting anti-gravity or whatever bull fits in your brain.
I STAND BY THAT.. BUT IN CONTEXT.
When the pressure inside equals or becomes GREATER THAN the gravity weight of the lid. Pressure will be released in the lightest parts of the lid AT FIRST.
As the pressure GROWS. OVER TIME. DUE TO MORE BOILING... OR YEAST!.. The effect would become more dramatic.
NO. I DO NOT MEAN THE PRESSURE WILL START ACTING OUT A BLOODY SHAKESPEAREAN PLAY!
I mean more dramatic inb the sense that the pressurized gas will start to leak out of the container in more areas as pressure grows.
WHEN THE PRESSURE IS HIGH ENOUGH. The entire lid will effectively be hovering on a cushion of air.
I AM NOT SUGGESTING ANTI F GRAVITY. PRESSURE CAN LIFT A LID.
AT THIS POINT YOU CAN PUSH IT. It still is a heavy object so it would take a little push, but it would certainly move with less force than without gas pressure lifting it.
A HOVERCRAFT WORKS ON SIMILAR PRESSURE. The turbines fill the under section with pressurized air. When that pressure equals enough to compensate for the GRAVITY WEIGHT OF THE HOVERCRAFT (it is not an anti gravity craft btw!) THe HOVERCRAFT WILL START SEEPING SMALL AMOUNTS OF AIR OUT THE SIDES.
EVENTUALLY; The air pressure will increase further and it will lift. It probably would be too hard to push with your fingers, but it would move simpler than without a cushion of F air. Perhaps a good truck could pull it at this stage.
NOW.. NOW IT IS FULLY HOVERING (NOT ANTI F GRAVITY BTW! - I have to type that every time or else Dwdry will say Im suggesting PIXIES again).
Now the lid is "hovering" on a cushion of air. Pretty much entirely. The pressure will escape (NOT LIKE A PRISON MOVIE).. The gas will be released based upon geometry and pressures. The pressurized gas/air/steam will seek lower pressure.
(WITH ME SO FAR!)
Now. The lid will HOVER. BRIEFLY!
I'm going to stop using the word HOVER. The lid will FLOAT ON GAS PRESSURE.
I NEVER said anything about the lid moving straight left/right, forward/backward along the length and width.
I think that would be UNLIKELY!
AS the pressure raises even more the gravity of the floating object will be aimed based upon GEOMETRY, PRESSURES (gravity on lid included).
Note: The one lid that has the air pressure release areas (if that is what they are for) would likely move less random. I am speaking on the majority of these boxes.
DWDDYYR! You are so very wrong when you say the balloon experiment above AND below is not the same. Pressure is not constant with a balloon. Did you even go to high school? When the balloon is let loose it goes through the exact same process as the hovercraft but likely quicker do to size and weight. SAME F THING!
Honestly! This forum has preschoolers.
I STARTED this lid topic in physics. I dare either of you to state your ignorance's there. I'm guessing this website has at least a few clever folk.
Now once the lid is floating and chooses a wobbly it will wobble and shake due to pressures and gravity .
LIKE A BOILING POT WOULD ON A STOVE.
The lid will choose a direction (not personifying it.. let me rephrase). The lid will begin to float away from its original position.
AS THE LID STARTS TO SKEW! (This word has confused the entire lot of you)
skew
/skyo͞o/1.
- neither parallel nor at right angles to a specified or implied line; askew; crooked.
"his hat looked slightly skew" 2.
- MATHEMATICS (of a pair of lines) neither parallel nor intersecting.
noun1.
- an oblique angle; a slant.verb1.
- suddenly change direction or position.
As the lid starts to SKEW. The PRESSURIZED AIR will FIND a QUICKER PATH TO EXHAUST (lower pressure).
This will be in a corner. A corner will ALWAYS! (most always unless it really is built overly perfect) be exposed before a length and in most cases width along lid.
AND THEN "Very fast WIND" (cannot say "explosive force" or Dwdydr will have a fit again). EXPLOSIVE FORCE comes out of a gun. All pressure is explosive force if the pressure overcomes the containers strength... but you would have to know "science" for that simple and well known fact.
A rifle shoots a bullet with explosive force but does not explode itself. Unless you stick your nose in the barrel. (dont try without parental supervision).
Then an EXPLOSIVE wind will SEEK THE LOW PRESSURE AND FASTEST MOST DIRECT ROUTE. This mean THE CORNER.
We were discussing 200 KiloPascal of pressure. That could kill a person if they are standing at that corner.
THE CORNER WOULD BE EXPOSED TO THIS DAILY! Or however many F times they were refueled and cycle time.
--------------------------------------------------
You lot do not seem very clever. You have done nothing but put words in my mouth and misstate what I have said time and again. You would prefer strawman (It means you are suggesting I say something different than I have.. and then you counter it with obvious truth. So you do not have to actually think.).
I have started a thread in physics. Maybe you would like to tell physics why the balloon experiment below has nothing to do with the way this lid floats.
I'm hoping a more intelligent crown hangs around that forum.
You can even play with the balloon and crate pathways to easy air pressure by cutting a triangle into a section of the
I don't know if i can type this any F SLOWER!
If you cannot grasp this comment then learn some more English!
