Mike I have now cleared the snow away so I have no excuse to day dream while I get my strength back so I must now finish with this thread. I pointed out earlier the relationships between curl and Faradays rotation where Faraday used a light and a electrical magnet to measure polarization angle and where I connect it to curl is similar but time variable related. The corriolis forces are also connected but more specifically to the earths magnetic field and where water revolves in different directions depending on the hemisphere that you are in. With the television addition I was looking at the magnetic yoke with the above in mind which would suggest that what is in equilibrium in the northern hemisphere would not be in equilibrium in the Southern hemisphere. Since I know nothing about TVs that is all speculation on my part. Bye Bye Art |

Another deep question regarding the universe
In the southern hemisphere, the TV deflection yokes are wound in the
opposite direction. This of course results in a reversal of the normal flow of current through the gun assembly. While in the northern hemisphere, the CRT contains three "electron guns" which shoot electrons toward the phosphor screen, in Australia they use a TRC which has three "hole targets" instead. The screen emits holes which are deflected by the anti-yoke, or ekoy, and routed to the appropriate color hole target. The hole targets are, of course, magenta, cyan, and yellow rather than red, green, and blue as they are in the northern hemisphere, and their filaments must be cooled rather than heated. The scan lines in the southern hemisphere also proceed from right to left, bottom to top, but that's another topic. . . An' that's nothin' but the dinkum truth, mate!

The effect you are talking about doesn't have anything to do with the relationship between magnetic fields and electric fields. It has to do with the difference in surface speeds between the poles and the equator and how that difference interacts with various fluids. In the Northern Hemisphere as these fluids move southward, they will be seen to swing to the west because the earth is spinning towards the east under them. So... If one had a US TV in Australia, then it would work exactly like it did in the US. (Voltage, frequency and video format aside.) -= KC4UAI =- |

When you pull the plug in your sink, in the northern hemisphere the "whirlpool" which forms spins in one direction, in the southern hemisphere the opposite direction (this computed on an average, or, force/contrivance can be applied to change the direction of normal spin.)

To say the previous in any other manner would suggest more is known than actually is ... that is simply all which IS "known." In a perfectly smooth, level, and symetrical sink filled with absolutely still water, it will always go the same way and this is trivially explained by the corriolis effect. For real world sinks, the deviations from perfect smoothness, levelness, and symmetry overpowers the corriolis effect and the water goes which ever way dominates from the imperfections.

Another deep question regarding the universe
To bring antennas into the discussion:
Many years ago when a grad student working in the vicinity of, and eating at the same table with, Grote Reber, he noted that the bean plant wound itself in the opposite direction in Tasmania than in the US. (We never left the meat plate in his vicinity.) While constructing new instrumentation to measure low frequency radiation from space (housed in beautiful cabinets that he made) using an antenna with directivity determined by the relative thinness of the ionosphere in Tasmania, he tended bean plants that he caused to grow the wrong way. He published papers on the subject in 1960 and 1964. As I recall, one finding was that yields increased if beans were caused to do what they do not want to do. So, at least two things arise from this: plants can do different things in the two hemispheres and the ionosphere is "different" in the two hemispheres. The like of Grote the world is not likely to see again. His ability to see significance in well known things was awesome. It only he had had a publicist, he would have received a Nobel prize. 73, Mac N8TT -- J. Mc Laughlin; Michigan U.S.A. Home: It is a matter of scale.

My goodness. Who would have guessed so many could benefit from a simple high school physics course, and then an introduction to antennas? JS Cant prove it to nobody but myself, kitchen sink is a double and it is different in both sinks. Please tell just which way you think it spins in the northern hemisphere. Your location is obviously directly on the equator, and the "line" passes directly between the double sinks. Ain't science wunnerful? ;^) - 73 de Mike KB3EIA - |

I t doesnt happen, water swirling down the drain in different directionn because you are in the southern or northern hemisphere is a myth. Obviously you have a sink, you can prove it correct. And, indeed, it is correct. Has to do with the oxygen molecules slight magnetic force in interaction with the appropriate pole of the earth. My goodness.

Perhaps it is time for all of us with flush toilets to activate the them and report back? John Ferrell W8CCW |

Firing tables for long range artillery have corrections for the
effect. Cool - I didn't know that! It does stand to reason, giving the distances and velocities involved. - 73 de Mike KB3EIA - As do ICBM's. Coreolis is alive and well and real! W4ZCB |

I know of NO ONE who claims to know FOR CERTAIN, EXACTLY why, this happens or is able to offer conclusive proof ... Here's what I was taught. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Northernmost point in a body of water at rest is moving slower than the Southernmost point. Consider that the ocean water at the poles travels pi*zero miles every 24 hours while the water at the equator travels pi*8000 miles, i.e. about 1000 miles per hour. The extra velocity of the Southernmost molecules is what gives the counter-clockwise rotation of a fluid in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Southernmost molecules are moving the fastest resulting in a clockwise rotation. -- 73, Cecil, http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
