Ballpoint pen Ballpoint pen is a pen that used nowadays‚ using a smooth rolling point of the tip in the pen. Unlike fountain pen‚ you don’t need to fill in ink for writing. The first patent on a ballpoint pen was issued on 30 October 1888‚ to John Loud‚ a leather tanner‚ who was attempting to make a writing instrument that would be able to write on his leather products‚ which then-common fountain pens could not do. In the period between 1904 and 1946‚ particularly alternatives or improvements

The following three pieces were all found in the book A World of Art by Henry M. Sayre. The three sculptures‚ Puppy‚ Cloud Gate‚ and Great Serpent Mound‚ where all selected because of their relevance to nature. Both Puppy and The Great Serpent Mound are almost literally made of natural material‚ particularly vegetation. On the other hand‚ Cloud Gate is made of stainless steal‚ but yet the steal reflects it’s surrounding. Particularly Could Gate reflects the sky above it‚ and thus incorporates nature

Even apart from its rarity and value‚ diamond is a remarkable mineral (Murck‚ B. W.‚ Skinner‚ B. J.‚ & Mackenzie‚ D. (2008). Diamonds are pure elemental carbon‚ the same chemical found in graphite and charcoal. Carbon-12 is the most important atom living in beings‚ besides being the sole component of diamond‚ graphite and coal. Diamonds are fascinating. They are chemically resistant and it is the hardest natural known substance. Diamonds also have special optical properties such as high index refraction

Spontaneous reactions occur without outside intervention. In an isolated system‚ natural processes are spontaneous when they lead to an increase in disorder‚ or entropy. They may occur quickly‚ like the combustion of hydrogen‚ or slowly‚ like when graphite turns to diamond. Ex: Ammonium nitrate dissolves spontaneously in water‚ even though energy is absorbed when this reaction takes place. H2O NH4NO3(s) NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq) Ho = 28.05

THE HAMMER PFC GREEN‚ ALEX J. B CO 1/325th AIR 2 AUGUST 2013 The Hammer A hammer is a tool meant to deliver an impact to an object. The most common uses for hammers are to drive nails‚ fit parts‚ forge metal and break apart objects. Hammers are often designed for a specific purpose‚ and vary in their shape and structure. The term hammer is also used for some devices that are designed to deliver blows like the cap lock mechanism of firearms. The hammer is a basic tool of many professions

interpretations within one artwork though its subject matter and materials‚ my first artwork was also a problem solver. Mysterious Island (2010) by Istvan Orosz‚ (see Image 1) consists of a cylindrical mirror on top of a drawing‚ so that the flat and distorted graphite drawing is transformed into a three dimensional reflection in the mirror. The drawing done on the paper is distorted and its subject matter looks different

Chemistry 1225 Lab Write-Up #13 Abstract Electrolysis is a method of using a direct electric current to drive an otherwise non-spontaneous chemical reaction. During electrolysis‚ hydrogen atoms (H2) are reduced at the cathode whereas the oxygen atoms (O2) are oxidized at the anode. There were three different solutions used in the experiment in order to have a better understanding of electrolysis reactions. From each solution‚ reaction equations were produced. The reactions could be observed from
