How the speed of an ocean wave is set changes according to whether its wavelength is much longer or much shorter than the depth. The speed of a tsunami and the growth of its height in shallow water are obtained by two routes, formula and numerical computation. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scop...

c as the Ball of Velocity Space — second edition: this was a result about c, not about four pi. In special relativity the set of admissible velocities is a ball of radius c, and under the metric induced by the velocity-addition law it is hyperbolic space of curvature minus one over c squared (Varicak 1910). Here the re...

It is said that the smaller a power system's inertia (the weight of its spinning generators), the further the frequency drops when generation trips. With a simple one-area model, the initial fall, the nadir on the way and the settling point after a trip are counted while inertia is varied. No new theorem or law is clai...

Ceramics shrink on firing, and the shrinkage is often quoted as a single "shrinkage" figure. What that figure is divided by, how volume and length differ, and how density scatter appears in size are counted. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──that sinte...

A continuous-wave radar that sweeps its frequency measures a target's range and velocity with one device. What sets the range resolution, the velocity resolution and the velocity limit is laid out, and it is counted how range and velocity mix within one chirp and what happens to the range reading when the velocity exce...

The earliest sunset of the year is easily taken to fall on the winter solstice, the shortest day. What this paper shows is that the gap between sundial and clock (the equation of time) is the sum of two causes, the eccentricity of the orbit and the tilt of the ecliptic, and that around the solstice it changes by about...

It is natural to think that a phase changes because particles attract one another. But the condensation of bosons happens without any attraction at all. The condensation temperature of an ideal Bose gas is computed in three cases, and what fixes that temperature is examined. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of t...

One way to estimate how many errors remain in a manuscript is to have two people read it separately and use the overlap of what they found. What this paper shows is that the estimate is right only when the two readers' misses are unrelated; if they miss the same errors it comes out too few, if they miss opposite ones t...

A chess queen moves any distance along rows, columns and diagonals. The ways to place n queens on an nx n board with no two attacking each other are counted (the n-queens problem). No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──the 92 placements of eight queens and...

The capacity of a line follows from the capacities of its stages. What this paper shows is that it follows as a minimum rather than a sum or a mean, and that widening the minimum helps in a step from 1 to 0. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──that a ser...

Drying wood makes it shrink and grow stronger. Yet it does not shrink in proportion to the water removed. Which water changes what is counted through shrinkage and strength at each moisture content. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (scope note): No new theorem or law is claimed──the fibre saturatio...

When a crystal is dissolved to dig a pit, one readily supposes that longer immersion digs deeper. But when the dissolution rate differs between crystal planes, the planes decide the shape. Whether time or crystal planes set the depth is counted, divided by the ratio of plane rates. No new theorem or law is claimed. Sco...
