Thanks, Mark.
Thanks, Mark.
A single tube 4 foot - 40 watt fluorescent shop light with electronic ballast runs about $20.00
at Lowes.
These are probably operating between 40 to 60 KHz which allows plenty of time for
the atoms/molecules to collide at the estimated 1,000 meter/sec Argon (6.64E-26 kg) and 500 meter/sec
Mercury (3.32E-25 kg) velocities (based on a 3000 K gas temperature.
According to this collision calculator for Argon-Mercury or H2 (3.32E-27 kg) -Argon etc.,
the Argon atom can gain a 50% increase in velocity from an elastic collision with
a Mercury atom rebounding from a wall collision at - 500 meter/second.
If I didn't goof this would mean a 50% OU "kinetic energy" gain?
Not much advantage in going to Hydrogen-Mercury (3000 K H2 v = 5000 meter/sec) but
this doesn't square with the Double Ball Drop thing:
" If a light ball like a ping-pong ball is dropped along with a heavy ball like a large superball, the small ball rebounds with a remarkably high velocity, theoretically approaching three times the velocity with which the balls strike the surface. The analysis involves the nature of head-on elastic collisions and in particular the case of a light projectile hitting a heavy target. Slingshot orbits used in space exploration have features in common with this situation even though the objects involved never touch each other."
I probably ain't got my vectors added right. :-)
