Acoustic and high speed video analysis of exploding gas filled balloons Michael B Muhlestein Department of Physics and Astronomy Bachelor of Science Exploding gas-filled balloons are common chemistry demonstrations. They provide an entertaining and educational means to experimentally verify nonlinear acoustical theory as described by the Earnshaw solution to the lossless Burgers equation and we...

Marihuana and the eye

.he first report of a decrease in intraocular pressure following smoking of marihuana was received with a fair amount of skepticism, mirth, and bad publicity in the press, such as articles informing the public of a new "cure" for glaucoma. Now that the smoke has cleared, it is time to evaluate the effects of marihuana on the eye and make an objective assessment of the potential therapeutic valu...

Cosmic balloons.

Cosmic balloons, consisting of relativistic particles trapped inside a spherical domain wall, may be created in the early universe. We calculate the balloon mass M as a function of the radius R and the energy density profile, ρ(r), including the effects of gravity. At the maximum balloon mass 2GM/R ≈ 0.52 for any value of the mass density of the wall. [email protected] Domain walls may fo...
