Teaching Archimedes‘

. Tagged with

When visiting one of the rainwater harvesting project sites, questions came up of how to supply those parcels with water, where there is only a hut with a thatched roof – in these places usually the most needy people live. After some discussion back and forth an archaic solution was brought up and displayed in a similarly archaic way: by drawing it with a stick in the sand.

On another topic: Tyler Monson has given me notice about a glitch in the post „More Things Green“: green the image was indeed, too green. I’ll correct this. Thanks, Tyler!

  1. That is almost like using an iPad…

    1. You think I should submit the first Sand-App in the iStore?

  2. Or maybe iArchimedes…

    Funny how some things are reinvented again and again, such as drawing with your hand.

    1. May I contradict? Not drawing with your hand was reinvented, the true invention was to monetarize it!

  3. Yes, indeed. This makes one wonder what will be monetarized next.
