inside a glass vessel filled with clear liquid; the wax rises and falls as its density changes due to heating from an incandescent light bulb underneath the vessel. The appearance of the wax is suggestive of pāhoehoe lava‚ hence the name. The lamps are designed in a variety of styles and colours. The underlying fluid mechanics phenomenon is a form of Rayleigh–Taylor instability. The bulb is normally 25 to 40 watts. Generally it will take 45–60 minutes for the wax to warm up enough to freely form rising

Examples of new adjustments people have to live with: • People now have to learn how to use traffic lights as a four ways stop. This has caused accidents due to inpatient drivers taking a gap when possible and not obeying any of the rules. • Doing their daily chores and activities without the use of electricity. • Businesses suffer because they

of differing amounts of light on a solar powered car. I have figured out that the more light the solar powered object is exposed to‚ the farther and faster it goes. The amount of light is measured in lumens‚ the more lumens‚ the more light. My results dictate what would happen if you drove a solar powered car on a cloudy day. Background Research Introduction Question: How does the amount of light the car gets affect the distance it goes? Hypothesis: the less light‚ the less distance. I picked

It wasn’t until I became a teenager that I learned there were other things that I could do to conserve the energy of the planet – like turning out lights when leaving the room or planting trees to make to make the planet greener!
