Stevo985 Posted September 12, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2011 Wouldn't it be more like because there's no gravity, everything is upside down? (or more similar to what upside down is?) i.e. you don't have any gravity pushing ink down the pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Who is the only player to play for 8 Premiership teams? Marcus Bent. Palace, Blackburn, Ipswich, Leicester, Everton, Charlton, Wigan & Wolves. Wouldn't it be more like because there's no gravity, everything is upside down? (or more similar to what upside down is?) i.e. you don't have any gravity pushing ink down the pen And no, because on Earth if you try to write upside down you have gravity pulling the ink away from the tip of the pen.

But in near-zero-g, the ink simply won't go anywhere (object at rest stays at rest etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. But the point is, you need gravity for the pen to work, to push ink down the pen. With gravity going against it, or jsut an absence of gravity, the pen won't work, in theory. So I'd say in this situation, no gravity is more like being permanently upside down than right way up. That's a bizarre last sentence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I used to own a Fisher Space pen, bought it on a flight (regular, not space) once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd say in this situation, no gravity is more like being permanently upside down than right way up. That's a bizarre last sentence The pen will work upside down with no gravity to an extent. You don't need gravity to pull the ink down, as long as the ink starts next to the ball friction will do all the work. As the ball rotates as you write the ink sticks to the ball, and gets pulled down as a result of the cohesion of the ink. With gravity though the friction alone isn't enough to overcome gravity, so a pen will work upside down in space far better than it works upside down on earth.

theunderstudy Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The British army was built on cups of tea. And you're mistaken if you think I'm going to war without one. Great fact Rev, using that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Every British tank and almost every other British armoured vehicle since 1945 has been built fitted with the facility to make a cup of tea. It's main function is to heat those ration packs they carry, but I suppose making a cup of tea is a nice side effect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatAboutTheFinish Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 ^ So the whole of Europe should be powered from a region that currently is governed by Libya, Egypt, Sudan and Chad?
