A question here
There are signs that in the past there was liquid water on Mars. So lets assume thats true. Since the gravity on Mars is much lower than on Earth, so how does water (waves) behave on Mars compared to Earth? Someone did say, that waves would have been much higher but also much slower. Is this true? Does anyone have an animation where you can see a waive on Earth in comparsion to a wave on Mars? Thanks |

A rotovap simulation experiment!
That...is...so...brilliant! -Mike [I can't wait to try it in the lab on Tuesday! So basically the extra G forces are also preventing bumping? This should be easy to check. Put in an organic solvent, place the flask in the bath, and pull a gentle vacuum until a few bubbles start being visible. Then slowly increase the rpm: the bubbles should stop, all things being equal.] (I used to spin the heck out of things when I was worried about bumping, but I just figured I was smearing the solution around the flask and making more surface area) The things you learn here....wow. -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
