Comments on: Samsung delivers rare chance to use term “suction power” http://extralast.com/2010/07/02/samsung-delivers-rare-chance-to-use-term-suction-power/ Mon, 09 Jan 2012 15:25:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Badben http://extralast.com/2010/07/02/samsung-delivers-rare-chance-to-use-term-suction-power/#comment-3495 Badben Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:04:53 +0000 http://www.extralast.com/2010/07/02/samsung-delivers-rare-chance-to-use-term-suction-power/#comment-3495 ‘Sucking’ and ‘suction are not the same. One is a thing you do with your mouth and has an accepted definition, I’m not arguing with that. The other is a pseudo scientific term in widespread use by people and industrys alike, however just because it’s widesread doesn’t mean it’s right.

For instance, more people would probably be offended if I stated, for the record, that Astrology is total and utter wank of the highest order. However, just because lots of people think astrology is great and don’t like it described as ‘wank’ doesn’t mean, importantly, that it’s not wank.

Suction and astrology (and maybe wank) are similar from this perspective. Look you?

Saying that there’s only “pressure operating in the other direction” doesn’t cut it for me – just tells that what I consider to be suction can be described another way, much like everything else in the world.

I’ll play my role by standing behind and slightly to the side of Super-Diddly-Duper 2000, saying “yeah!”.

Whoever thought this would be the place for such discussions (no answer required)?

If people are defining sucking as pulling with a fluid then I’ll hand it to you. But they’re not, are they? Sucking is probably best defined as creating a localised region of low pressure. This results in a force acting on nearby objects which draws/pushes (no bloody difference) them towards the low pressure region. It’s as real as all the other things you can describe in more than one way.

I’m sure I’ve seen videos of this on the internet Badben, have you tried checking there?
