  2. Body transfer illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_transfer_illusion

    They saw a lifelike rubber left hand in front of them. The experimenters stroked both the subjects hidden left hand and the visible rubber hand with a paintbrush. The experiment showed that if the two hands were stroked synchronously and in the same direction, the subjects began to experience the rubber hand as their own.

  3. Exploding watermelon stunt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_watermelon_stunt

    The concept of putting rubber bands around a watermelon until it explodes first became popular on the internet as early as at least July 2012, when the stunt was filmed by The Slow Mo Guys with a very high frame-rate camera, but earlier videos date back at least to 2008.

  4. Mooney viscometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mooney_viscometer

    A Mooney viscometer MV 2000 Mooney Viscometer. A Mooney viscometer or rotating disk viscometer is an instrument used for measuring the Mooney viscosity of rubbers. [1] Invented in the 1930s by Melvin Mooney, [2] it contains a rotating spindle and heated dies, the substance encloses and overflows the spindle and the mooney viscosity is calculated from the torque on the spindle.

  5. Rubber band experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_band_experiment

    The T-V diagram of the rubber band experiment. The decrease in the temperature of the rubber band in a spontaneous process at ambient temperature can be explained using the Helmholtz free energy = where dF is the change in free energy, dL is the change in length, τ is the tension, dT is the change in temperature and S is the entropy.

    The pastern bone of a sheep, goat, or calf has two rounded ends upon which it cannot stand and two broad and two narrow sides, one of each pair being concave and one convex. The convex narrow side, called chios or "the dog", was counted as 1, the convex broad side as 3, the concave broad side as 4, and the concave narrow side as 6.

  7. The Man with the Rubber Head - Wikipedia

    The Man with the Rubber Head (French: L'Homme à la tête en caoutchouc), also known as A Swelled Head, is a 1901 French silent trick film by Georges Méliès. The film stars Méliès himself as an apothecary who blows a copy of his own head up to enormous dimensions, but who is unable to get his assistant to perform the stunt as expertly.

  8. Payne effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payne_effect

    Strain amplitude dependence of storage and loss moduli in filled rubber. The Payne effect is a particular feature of the stress–strain behaviour of rubber, [1] especially rubber compounds containing fillers such as carbon black. [2] It is named after the British rubber scientist A. R. Payne, who made extensive studies of the effect (e.g ...

  9. Rubber bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_bridge

    Rubber bridge is a form of contract bridge played by two competing pairs using a particular method of scoring. A rubber is completed when one pair becomes first to win two games , each game presenting a score of 100 or more contract points ; a new game ensues until one pair has won two games to conclude the rubber.
