Who made the first kite in 1400?

There are pictoral and literary references to kites before 100 BC. The Chinese, Indian, Egyptian, American Indian, Australian Aborigine and some European countries have all made reference to flying objects on the wind by holding a string. Some archaeologists think the first sail boat may have been a cloth or hide of some kind supported by sticks or tethers to the boat before written history. I haven't yet found a reliable reference to who made the first kite on January 1 1400, though. I would assume that kite flying was a fairly popular celebration of the Gregorian New Year. The kite was first invented and popularized approximately 2,800 years ago in Weifang, China, where materials ideal for kite building were readily available: silk fabric for sail material, fine, high-tensile-strength silk for flying line, and resilient bamboo for a strong, lightweight framework. Alternatively, kite author Clive Hart and kite expert Tal Streeter hold that kites existed far before that time. The kite was said to be the invention of the famous 5th century BCE Chinese philosophers Mozi and Lu Ban. By at least 549 CE paper kites were being flown, as it was recorded in that year a paper kite was used as a message for a rescue mission.

What is the main difference between a cell nucleus and a nucleoid?

A cell nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells that contains the cell's genetic material. In contrast, a nucleoid is a region inside prokaryotic cells where the genetic material is found, but it is not enclosed by a membrane. Nucleoids are simpler in structure compared to cell nuclei.

Is silly putty explosive?

The answer is yes, here is the story:

In WW1, it was first synthesized by the Ottoman Turks to use as the main explosive in their fragmentation artillery shells. The results were horrific. By the end of the war, Trihexlphene 114 explosives, as they were known, were being harnessed by the Central Powers, and Russia was investing research in the subject before the revolution. Over half a million allied soldiers were wounded by the very potent effects of massive Trihexlphene bombardments. After the Great War ended, it became apparent that the real toll of such weapons was not on Allied servicemen, but on the long term and dangerous effects that the substance had on the local environment. Massive toxic secretions from the explosions resulted in immediate vegetation loss, as well as long term species endangerment and watershed pollution.

After the war, the newly founded League of Nations permanently banned the use use of Trihexlphene 114 in any military conflict. For now, the world was safe for the effects of its pollutants.

In WW2, there were reports of the Japanese filling grenades with Trihexlphene, with detrimental results. In the second battle of Titian Atoll, these grenades were used against U.S. marine landings. Almost 30% of the islands vegetation was destroyed.

After WW2 all Trihexlphene stocks around the world were disarmed and destroyed.

All of the substance was thought to be gone, until a toy company in the 1990's found out the chemical formula ideal for its the construction of its newest product based on WW1 and WW2 eye-witness accounts, and named it "Silly Putty".

The formula was altered to prevent accidental combustion of the substance.

It is a safe product, but there have been rumored reports of the occasional shipment becoming flawed and exploding in transport.

How did the drinking bird from the 1960s work to continue to bob its head into a glass of water?

The classic bobbing or drinking bird toy has amused kids and adults for years. It appears to be perpetual motion (impossible) but is actually a heat engine with a lot of thermodynamics going on. Although the bird is often thought to be a recent invention it was invented in 1945 and patented in 1946. The "toy" was the brainchild of to PHD candidates, Miles V. Sullivan and George H. Shackley. The science is so complex that it has been the basis of several thermodynamics courses.

The classic bird is made from two glass bulbs joined by a glass tube. The tube extends almost to the bottom of the bottom bulb. It is joined to the top bulb but only at the end. The bulb contains some fluid which evaporates and condenses easily at about room temperature. The bird so far is similar in construction to the "love meters" which move fluids from one bulb to the other based on the heat of your hand.

The other parts of the bird are a bird beak or head made of absorbent material, a pivot which lets the bird balance on a stand, and a glass of water for the bird to dip its beak into. The actual operation of the bird is the result of several gas laws, evaporative cooling and, pressure changed due to heat, leverage and showmanship!

What happens is:

  • The birds felt (or similar) head is dampened with water and positioned in front of a glass of water located so that the beak will swing down into the water if it moves forward about the pivot.
  • The water on the felt evaporates cooling the head, creating a vacuum in the gases (through condensation of the gas there) and subsequently sucking up fluid from the bottom bulb
  • This makes the head heavier and it swings down dipping the nose into the water.
  • The water absorbs into the beak fabric, warming the fabric and the bulb, which in turn warms the gases in the head.
  • The warmed gases expand increasing the top bulb pressure and expelling the fluid back into the bottom bulb
  • The head (now lighter as the fluid is gone) raises, the water starts to evaporate cooling the head and restarting the cycle
