90-year-old physicist finds new vibration mode, wind energy solution in bathroom

Yariv noticed that the showerhead wasn’t just a flexible fixture in the bathroom but displayed properties of being part of the oscillating system. Legend says that the Greek physicist Archimedes ran immediately out of the bath two millennia ago upon making a ground-breaking observation. The modern-day scientist Yariv was more measured in this approach.

What did Yariv observe?

Yariv noticed that as he increased the water flow, the showerhead oscillated bimodally. In plain speak, this means that the showerhead displayed two different oscillations: one where it was swinging back and forth like a pendulum and the other where it was twisting in two directions.

The intriguing bit was that these two oscillations were in sync, driving each other instead of canceling each other.

Check out the video to see it in action.

Is a water hose moving around by itself a similar action?

When you turn on the hose without holding it.

Interesting, and surprising that this motion hasn’t been fully described before.

Haven’t watched the video yet, but I’m a bit surprised that this is seen as something new. I’ll be interested to hear what dv and MV think about it.

Pretty sure it’s 95% hype :)

So it’s nonzero true.
