What man was responsible for the development of the Northern and Southern ironclads?
ChuckSiata
The Union ironclad Monitor was designed by Swedish inventor John Ericsson. The Merrimack (also known as the Virginia) was a conventional wooden hull that was converted to an ironclad according to a design prepared by Lt. John Mercer Brooke of the Confederate navy. However, although the 1862 battle between these two ships became legendary, ironclad warships had been used since the early 1850s by the French and British, so the attribute of "ironclad inventor" is unclear.

∙ 8y agoIronically, both of the US Civil War's original ironclads, the Monitor and the Virginia owed their development to the inventor of the USS Monitor, Swedish inventor John Ericsson. He had perfected the so-called screw propeller. With this type of propeller, it allowed for the mounting of steam engines below the waterline. Thus no need for risky paddle wheels.

Where is the second windiest place in the world?
New Zealand. New Zealand is the only nation almost entirely within the Roaring 40's - the 40+ degree southern latitudes, considered to be the windiest inhabited region on earth next to the furious 50's (that only encompass southern Chile and Argentina). Unlike the northern hemisphere, there are no large landmasses in these latitudes, allowing the winds to move unimpeded.
Why does water go down the drain one way?
Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing to do with the latitude or the Coriolis effect. Toilets and sinks drain in the directions they do because of the way water is directed into them or pulled from them. The Coriolis effect is the reason why hurricanes rotate clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. But you need a very large amount of moving air and water for it to take effect.
