The greater the surface tension, the higher the liquid climbs──so it is thought. This paper shows that what lifts the liquid is not the tension but its difference──which is why pure water, with the largest tension of all, makes no tears. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem...

Improving is expected to bring advantage. This paper shows that if the other improves as much, nothing changes──and that stopping nonetheless costs a great deal. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──the Red Queen hypothesis, coevolution and relative fitne...

Fit a high-lift device and you fly correspondingly slower──so it is thought. This paper shows that the lift coefficient acts on the stall speed only through a square root──a factor of 1.6667 buys a drop of 22.5 per cent. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claime...

Raising the compression ratio raises efficiency──so it is said. This paper shows that the same proportional increase buys 1.480429 times less at the top──and that the ratio has a closed form. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──the theoretical efficiency...

A low gear is slow and a high gear is fast──so it is thought. This paper shows that power sets the speed and the gear only selects the cadence──so “a lower gear makes you slower” is true only when the power drops. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──gear...

A white powder is taken to be white. This paper shows that whiteness is not a property of the powder──it is made by the difference from its surroundings, and vanishes when the difference does. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──light scattering, hiding...

A deeper dam is thought to need a disproportionately thicker body. This paper shows that although the force grows as the square and the moment as the cube, the required width grows only as the first power──because the resisting side grows as the cube too. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope not...

A metal that reacts more readily is expected to corrode sooner. This paper shows that the ordering is reversed──the basest metal is protected by the thinnest film. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──standard electrode potentials, passivity and the Pilli...

How fast a thing cools is thought to be set by its material. This paper shows that size acts 40 times harder──changing from water to metal gives only 1.3081. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──Newton’s law of cooling, the lumped capacitance method and t...

Protecting a metal is thought to mean covering it. This paper shows that there is a way of protecting that does not cover but attaches something that dissolves first──and that attaching the wrong metal reverses the sign. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claime...
