Hey, /sci/
I created this cool idea for an amusement park/swimming pool.

What do you think?

>> No.1767667

I'm jelly

>> No.1767681

Better hope it doesn't fuck up if you're 100m off the ground.

>> No.1767686

You'd need a ridiculous amount of suction, and it actually depends on the water seal not breaking. Swimming around in it would introduce air bubbles and breakages, which would break the suction and cause everything to fall out.

It wouldn't function as a swimming pool.

actually dude this WOULD work, if you have say a glass of water with a few drops left in it, you can keep the water suspended by blowing in the glass, It's just that no one would ride the ride for fear of breaking the surface tension of the flying pool

>> No.1767690

maybe if theres some kind of chemical that can increase water tension by like a million percent.

Frankly, it would be better to just make one with a glass bottom way up high, that would be cool.

I have followed the scientific method rigorously, in step 1 and 2. No problems were encountered.
1. Define the question
will my flying swimming pool work?
2. Gather information and resources (observe)
gather straw and juice
3. Form hypothesis
i think it will work
4. Perform experiment and collect data
see step 1 and 2
5. Analyze data
done
6. Interpret data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis
it works

>> No.1767820

I shall give this a bump. The more peer reviews it gets, the more reliable it is.

>> No.1767854

it would work just fine

lets say a drinking straw is 1/4" wide (thats a little big but lets just say.) its cross sectional area is about .05 in^2.

now lets take yor trollpool, lets call it a "trool." it looks about 20 feet in diameter, which gives it a cross section of 314 square feet, which is about 50,000 square inches.

from this we can conclude that this concept will work perfectly, if you can find a fluid with the viscosity of water but a surface tension about (50,000/.05) or one million times greater. and also a way to break the surface tension and get into the pool, because just diving in will be like hitting a wall of rubber.

>> No.1767902

well actually the atmospheric pressure would have to be like a 1000 time normal to work

go on?

it stays in the straw because of surface tension and air pressure

one the size of ops is not possible

please school me or you're just an idiot

>> No.1767974

Man I can imagine myself swimming on that while all the jelly people stare amazed. And you can even regulate the sucking so that the water moves

>> No.1767982

>>1767936
Fifty thousand times the surface area equals fifty thousand times the force produced from the same air pressure, you idiot.

It won't work because the surface tension isn't high enough. IF you had a perfectly vertical shaft and IF you had a perfectly uniform atmospheric pressure, it would work. In the real world, atmospheric pressure is chaotic, with small breezes everywhere, and the tilted shaft means there is more force from gravity acting on one part of the surface than on other parts. In a straw, the surface tension is high enough to compensate for both of those, but it isn't when the cross-sectional area is large.

HOLY

FUCK


Attach it to a truck so you can move it around your neighbourhood all you have to do is go to the public pool to get water, it would need a complex system of valves to keep a perfect vaccum but I think it can be done

so not jelly.

Viscosity of water only makes it possible on small scaled objects

>> No.1768162

>>1768077

atmospheric pressure is constant, so the force it exerts on a liquid increases with surface area. as you make the pool wider it will still exert the same force per unit area.

all that really matters here is the height of the pool and the surface tension of the water.
