Thank you. The submerged rag end in image 1 then rises 3cm over the water surface to the edge soaking all its length and drips-over at the lower end.

Good day. On top of a garden window I have, rain puddles on top and I placed a rag strip hanging over the edge. Works good; it wicks and drips to the point of emptying the puddle dry. Sort of a wick siphon. [ Image 1 below ] Can a wick pump water high within reason, to the point T and dripping at a lower wick point E well above the surface S ? [ image 2 above ] What are the limits ? Wick capillary properties ? Has anyone done it ? Is there a convenient type of wick material that is recommended/optimal for higher reach ?

Hi. I would use 2 very parallel laser pointer beams (lines or dots). The distance between beams being the same at origin and at the wave tells the height. If these two lines below are laser beams distant -say 3 metres- from each other, when they hit the wave it will show also 3 metres apart on the targeted wave. >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> peak of wave beams source from shore >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> valley of wave. Or, something like this, if applicable :

Of course the water freezing itself is not as much of a trouble; the bursting of pipes is the major concern. For the burst prevention, once I was building the plumbing in a remote cabin in the woods and inserted 6mm foam rods as used in filling cracks inside every pipe length in the dwelling. The expansion of ice compressing the closed-cell air bubbles in the foam to prevent burst. The building inspector did not like it only because had never seen such before. More entered to the subject; there is pipe heaters:

Hello. The routing of food to the esophagus back of the larynx and air to the trachea on front... Is that crossover path the same in all mammals?

Hi. Silver conductive ink is used to restore continuity in circuits. The Ag is particulate powder in suspension in a solvent that evaporates... I think. Is there any chemical solvent that has metal in true chemical reaction solution that when dried/evaporated, its precipitated residue is conductive metal ?

Thank you. If you leave a glass of water under your bed untouched for a month; it will be then empty as it turned to vapor. If you heat water to boiling point, turns to steam. Is that wrong ? Isn't vapor the gas under 100C and steam over 100C ?

Greetings.. Seen on data charts Sb boiling at 1950 C ; Sn boiling at 2602 C ; Pb boiling at 1749 C ... If water boils at 100 C, and emits/turns to steam above it; what do metals emit when boiling ? Themselves in gas form ? That gas, if cooled, precipitates / 'rains' ?

Thanks, gentlemen. LaurieAG : is the powder aluminium Al and nothing else ? No oxides, no sulphates, no Al compounds but just metallic Al ? OK, that is then a viable good clue and answer 👍, as already in proven manufacturing processes of air-entrapped concrete blocks. Studiot : Concrete as = Portland cement + sand + crushed stone + water with incorporation or not of fibers. For manufacturing of building materials as blocks (not to pour structural columns nor beams, but walls) without the addition of already foamed liquids after wetting but with a dry compound added to the dry mix. In my ignorant terms, imagine sodium bicarbonate in the mix that would be later hydrated and create a foamy mix then. (But I believe such CaCO3 does not work in alkaline) Expanded polyestyrene beads nor fancy organic compounds addition not convenient to consider as the aim is more artisan aimed process with some improvement of thermal insulation characteristics and with less weight. In other not-artisanal approach, perhas with interlocking convenience to use less mortar or glue, manageable by robotic mechanical placement. 🤔 Yes, you always help good.

Hi. Your headache is back. What chemical compound can be mixed with Portland cement, that when gets wet will generate effervescence of either nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, air, carbon dioxide, whatever other small enough gas bubbles, staying in suspension a while until mix sets/cures creating sort of pumice or aerated concrete ?

Hi. If sustainability takes in account abundance of the trees or the quarries to define as building materials, trees have a shorter 'life' as a dwelling than stone/concrete. For the ecological part, deforestation can recover in about a century, quarries scars on mountains will not recover vegetation in a single century. Against earthquakes, wood is flexible; concrete is not. Against insects, concrete does not notice them. Against floods, concrete wins. Against wind, concrete wins. Against fire, concrete wins by far. Thermally, wood wins by far. For each risk in the surrounding environment, there will be a better choice. For cost of heating and cooling, wood wins. What is wrong is using the same standarized construction methods for all the areas of a country without considering availability of materials against natural disasters for that zone... Have lived half my life in first class concrete dwellings overseas and half on wooden + drywall (US style). Felt safer on concrete, deterioration near zero in decades, felt the wood ones easily repairable / modifiable. The thermal part being the most different, depending much on the particular climate as concrete ones appear less efficiently insulable. About cost of materials, cement takes a lot of fossil fuels to manufacture and wood destroys forests, labor intensive to convert trees to houses. Personal skills are important to consider. Many prefer mixing cement or nailing wood when it is time to alter or repair. I would stick to concrete with thermal insulation.

Thank you sir. The 0; 10; 50; 100; 200... mentioned in the current settings shown above are points coming from what? votes? or posts? or reputation? or months registered? or ?

Hello. What is points; where do they come from? or is it posts ? What is 9/13 ? A date? And what is 'Retained' ; is that different from rank ? And "Senior" is neither a rank nor a retained nor a 'level'?

What is the cause of inflation? The ones that work little or nothing are always in opportunist mode to have it easy doing the least effort. Not in work mode, that takes effort. Politicians are experts in moving their tongues but never had a clue on how to reverse inflation.

Good day. In addition to GATC , is there other 'filler' compounds lodged between them, and other variations different than sugar phosphate constituting the 'back bone' shown here, or eventual contaminants to the purity of any of these components ?
