Sound Increases the Efficiency of Boiling 96
hessian writes "Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology achieved a 17-percent increase in boiling efficiency by using an acoustic field to enhance heat transfer. The acoustic field does this by efficiently removing vapor bubbles from the heated surface and suppressing the formation of an insulating vapor film."

I find your ideas interesting and would like to subscribe to your newsletter, but I am *never* eating marshmallows at your place.

Grandparent poster appears to be American. They don't have anything that people from the rest of the world would even recognise as food. Americans can only detect two tastes - high fructose corn syrup, and hot sauce.
American bacon is bad enough even before they slice it to molecular thickness and fry it in cheap crappy oil until it's quite thoroughly burnt.

it always amuses me when foreigners judge america by our lowest common denominator crap. you know, the stuff that's only available here due to our sprawling machine of industry which europeans apparently have a fetish for, since they can't seem to get over it when sublimating their envy through these pathetic insults.
for anything whatsoever that you attach cultural importance to, america can do it better; you'll just never find it at the shitty supermarket or wal*mart, which any native, who isn't penniless or functionally retarded, knows to avoid.
except cheese. i don't know what's up with that, but i'm sure that if we wanted to, we could.

Back in the 70s we used to use loud music to agitate the water in our bongs - it made them much more effective and, like, cosmic!
