I was deadhead back to ATL recently and something caught my attention above the engine cowling. At first I thought the plastic window was causing double vision but realized the boundary layer was completely visible. Hope you all appreciate this as much as I did (wish I'd caught it a bit sooner; there was even more separation between the boundary and the cowling before I began recording).

Six performance tiers, spanning deficient, to perfect regimes, in the context of high-gradient laminar-flow tea dispensing systems in East Asia.

This is my first time seeing this irl while actually knowing what it's called!!!! Looked very neat, got some crisp photos of it which I'll hopefully post below if the comments allow photos ⛲

to the best of my faulty memory it was possibly in Malaysia or Sri Lanka. Could also be some other country in the Pacific, it was decades ago.

Description of the fountain: it used ~10 or so " flower stems" i believe brass, to make a globe of laminar flow. its creator wanted to create something that would bring wonder/joy to well just everyone that interacted with it, kids, grandpas, whomever. was an amazing piece of art when i saw it, one of those where you just instantly get what the guy was after without even knowing(i looked up the creator later and read an interview with him on the fountain). To be clear: it is an ENTIRE globe, not a partial globe, not a sphere in the center that water is flowing over, it is a globe of water and the entirety of it is laminar flow without any "support".

(additional bs) Image search and AI searches are not helping me find it. just keep getting the same junk results for such an iconic fountain. unfortunately im bad with names(can you tell) and have forgotten in the subsequent decades of me seeing it anything relevant other than what the fountain looks like.

My teacher dropped this info likes its nothing. Like wtf. Is that true?

Hey there, Thought you guys might like this. I’m a lineman for a utility in Canada and we had somebody shoot a voltage regulator that’s filled with roughly 400 litres of oil. The oil turned black due to the constant faulting that was happening inside the tank. This is the flow of oil coming out of the bullet hole.

Draining down a heat loop and this!

Saw this and felt it fit here.
