Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 A curious discovery by Andrew Fletcher in the UK: Torricelli's law has an exception. It isn't valid if the column of water is continuous, without any gas bubbles to break the water's molecular cohesion... Kind regards Sepp August 07, 2005 Life And Gravity: Sleeping In A Horizontal Position May Be Bad For You Andrew K Fletcher has experimentally demonstrated a possible mechanism by which trees, using gravity to overcome gravity, are able to lift their sap to considerable height. In the absence of sufficient pressure in the roots of trees to send the liquid drawn from surrounding ground to the tree's crown and with negative pressure at the top unable to provide the driving force due to a limit connected with air pressure, science has not so far been able to explain just how the trees perform this feat. The usual explanation of osmotic pressure and capillary action makes about as much sense as war and famine. In " The Gravity of Life " , which presents his theory, Fletcher says that plants actually use gravity for their growth, rather than just overcoming it. Gravity provides the driving force for a two-way elevator formed by separate liquid columns, where the downward flowing side carries a concentrated and therefore heavier form of the lighter ascending liquid. Evaporation does the trick, concentrating the mineral content of the sap by getting rid of the pure H2O while keeping the minerals. The heavy descending liquid and the ascending new sap form...
