plz forgive me for sppaming but check out this great idea to make an umbrella a pen or a stick remain vertical without being touched

in the future ill try to post less but i just have thought of this and really need to share it

i want no money for it, seeing it on the stores in the future will be plenty of gratification:

imagine a hollow cross that has 4 horizontal arms, 1 top arm and a bottom arm

you have the cross vertical and fill it till only the top arm is empty with mercury

the lowest level the mercury can have is when the cross is vertical, if it leans the level will raise

this means the cross would have a force that when leaned puts it vertical because vertical is the lowest posible level of mercury

this could be connected to a pen or an umbrella to keep them vertical without being touched, do you think this is viable?


just imagine somebody passes by unholds his umbrella and it magically remains verticsl , wouldnt it be cool?

Seeing as your grasp on English isn't perfect, could you try to draw a basic diagram of what you mean on Paint or something...? Would help a lot!

What will you call it? The Xpermonator 2000?

Lmfao.

Fear mah uber paint skills!! Didn't even load up photoshop for this puppy

So basically, when it's tilted, the mercury goes into one of the arms, trips a sensor, and it counter-balances? Sedgeway umbrella FTW?

EDIT: Mercury wouldn't be a wise choice BTW, it expands and contracts with changing temperature and pressure...

It's a good idea imo. With abit of user-comfort etc etc .

notice level with the cross leaned is higher than with the cross vertical and liquids tend to take the lowest level posible, so theres a force that puts the thing vertical

That wouldn't work, the right side is heavier than the left, and would just fall over

I have never understood your posts.

if it leaned it would be free energy

it leans raising the fluid which is dropped from higher than before generating energy to fill another croos that leans to raise the fluid again generating more energy

if it leans as it would appear to be potential energy of water would increase without spending any energy and thats known as imposible

its a fact water tries to reach lowest posible level, this is quite undiscusible, and the lowest posible level its vertical

in fact its quite simple gravity cant have the effect of raisng a liquid to a higher level, gravity only pulls the water down

anyway if it works ive invented a cool thing, if it doesnt work,if it leans raising the level ive invented a free enrgy experiment because gravity would increase potential energy without nobody touching it

you have the cross vertical

why does a phrase "a beginners manual :crucifiction" pop in my mind?

I've figured out! Lerts's 'bad English is coz hes a bot!. If you decipher the BS in the OP Cambridge University tells it better imo.

Quote from CU :

under the influence of an initially uniform vertical electric field is discussed. To produce such a field when the conducting fluid is the heavier it is imagined that a large horizontal electrode is immersed in the non-conducting fluid. As the field increases the part of the interface below the electrode rises till at a voltage V, which depends on the interfacial tension, the height of the electrode above the interface and the density difference, the interface becomes unstable for vertical displacements Z which satisfy the equation $({\frac{\delta^2}{\delta x^2}} + {\frac{\delta^2}{\delta y^2}}+k^2) Z=0.$ The value of k consistent with the lowest value of V is found. When the electrode is situated above the interface at less than a certain distance the lowest value of V is attained when k = 0 so that the horizontal extent of an unstable crest is likely to be great. As the electrode height increases above this critical value k increases and the unstable crests become more closely spaced till an upper limiting value of k is obtained.

Experiments made with several pairs of fluids verify these theoretical conclusions. In some cases sparking occurs before the potential V is reached, but in others, air at atmospheric pressure over water, for instace, the instability occurs first and the jet of water which results permits the passage of a spark which may inhibit further development of the instability. The physical condition which determines the sparking voltage to a fluid may therefore be very different from that which is operative between solid electrodes. This consideration might be relevant to the performance of power-line insulators in wet weather.

Lerts, are you a bot?

Anybody care to upload lerts' pic somewhere? It's not loading on my end =/

Here it is...

hell is it that nobody is gonna take my idea seriously, its quite easy to understand and i think is cool

im building one for my umbrella

can you explain it in spanish?... that's how im gonna understand it...

Its a laughable idea because its easy to hold an umbrella verticle in anything other than high winds, and when you get high wind your "invention" would be useless. It would be way too expensive and complicated to use in any item like an umbrella even if it did work!

I've just been watching Dragons Den.

you dont understand the umbrella holds vertical on the ground by itself, with point down and the handle up

when you reach a place you never know what to do with the umbrella, with this you can leave it alone and it will stay vertical

you just need some tubes and water, is so cheap and easy to build im planning to start building them and selling them calling them magic umrellas, people wont have a clue how they work it will lok like magic

ill buy 5 euro umbrellas 50 cents in tubes and sell them for 20 euros

Google umbrella stand.

oh come on im disapointed is it that nobody is gonna say its a good idea?

hell i might be the 1st person in recent human history who have thought of this

it hasnt been easy ive been working on this ideas for years

The scary part is that you think it will work.

can you explain this in spanish please? via PM or something?... i simply dont understand you...

Why dont you make one then show us a video of it working?

Because I have no clue why you would think this would work.

el nivel del agua esta mas alto cuando esta inclinado, en x, que cuando esta en vertical, en +, eso llenandolo de agua dejando solo vacio el hueco del brazo superior

y como es sabido los liquidos intentan conseguir el nivel mas bajo posible que es cuando esta vertical, en +, por eso aparece un brazo adrizante que lo lleva de la inclinacion a la verticalidad
