Here's a question I've had a long time: Is the difference in high and low air pressure due to:
- density of the air?
- height of the column of air?
- updrafts, downdrafts?
- some combination of these?
Re: Q on tubular tires (long) ... >> saying that the rebound response of the tire is dependent on the change ... >> in air pressure; that is, as you said, dependent on the absolute air ... causing the compression damping to increase more rapidly ... (rec.bicycles.tech)
Re: A new Act is needed ... The myth is based on the fact that an airliner at 35,000 feet is like a ballon flying through the air - the air pressure on the inside (pushing out against the inside of the plane) is much higher than the ambient air pressue at that altitude. ... Now the cool part - inside the plane, they had parked their crash-test dummy, Buster, in a window seat.... (alt.politics)
Re: Thumb test ... the only thing that I can think of is to stretch an air... tight trampoline over a very deep chamber and raise the air pressure.... The trampoline will bulge upward just like a tire bulging outward. ... The stretched trampoline's tension must provide 100 psi of force to ... (rec.bicycles.tech)
Re: CFD - software ... Mostly because, unlike air pressure, "suck" is not a real physical ... What moves the liquid up the column is the outside air pressure ... the liquid outside the tube, so the liquid just sits there. ... (comp.os.vms)
