  2. Penrose triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_triangle

    A 3D-printed version of the Reutersvärd Triangle illusion. M.C. Escher's lithograph Waterfall (1961) depicts a watercourse that flows in a zigzag along the long sides of two elongated Penrose triangles, so that it ends up two stories higher than it began. The resulting waterfall, forming the short sides of both triangles, drives a water wheel.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cycle

    Subsurface water may return to the surface (e.g. as a spring or by being pumped) or eventually seep into the oceans. Water returns to the land surface at lower elevation than where it infiltrated, under the force of gravity or gravity induced pressures. Groundwater tends to move slowly and is replenished slowly, so it can remain in aquifers for ...

  8. Computer graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_graphics

    In order to draw a representation of a 3D object on the screen, the computer must determine which surfaces are "behind" the object from the viewer's perspective, and thus should be "hidden" when the computer creates (or renders) the image. The 3D Core Graphics System (or Core) was the first graphical standard to be developed.

  9. Drawing (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawing_(manufacturing)

    In shallow drawing, the depth of drawing is less than the smallest dimension of the hole. Bar, tube, and wire drawing all work upon the same principle: the starting stock is drawn through a die to reduce its diameter and increase its length. Usually, the die is mounted on a draw bench. The starting end of the workpiece is narrowed or pointed to ...
