quandary zone

so if you turn on a tap and cover most of the opening with your fingers, the water shoots out at super speed because of constant pressure, right?

then how come if you only open the tap a little bit the water doesn't shoot out at super speed? who is stealing the water pressure?

there's a resistor in series with the faucet

i am

so if you breathe and cover most of the opening with your fingers, the air shoots out at super speed because of constant pressure, right?

then how come if you only open the mouth a little bit the air doesn't shoot out at super speed? who is stealing the air pressure?

also me

so if you erupt a volcano and cover most of the opening with your fingers, the magma shoots out at super speed because of constant pressure, right?

then how come if you only open the caldera a little bit the magma doesn't shoot out at super speed? who is stealing the magma pressure?

i can't believe reyweld's 6500th post is a shout-out

but the pressure of your breath is created by your lungs. you can do a small breath with a small mouth, or a big breath with a big mouth, and they will have the same speed. or you can do a big breath with a small mouth to make the air go fast.

meanwhile the tap is just a valve, right? it can create an opening of various size. how is the pressure changed?

so if you erupt a volcano and cover most of the opening with your fingers, the magma shoots out at super speed because of constant pressure, right?

this is just pseudo science. when the magma goes above the surface, it becomes lava.

so if you use a flamethrower and cover most of the opening with your fingers, the fire shoots out at super speed because of constant pressure, right?

then how come if you only power the flamethrower a little bit the fire doesn't shoot out at super speed? who is stealing the fire pressure?

so if you make a society and cover most of the opening with your ideologies, the people shoot out at super speed because of constant pressure, right?

then how come if you only make a little bit of a society the people don't shoot out at super speed? who is stealing the peer pressure?

so if you fire a laser and cover most of the opening with your fingers, the laser comes out at super intensity because of constant pressure, right?

then how come if you only fire the lase a little bit the laser doesn't come in at super intensity? who is stealing the pew pressure?

That's me.

so if you make a society and cover most of the opening with your ideologies, the people shoot out at super speed because of constant pressure, right?

then how come if you only make a little bit of a society the people don't shoot out at super speed? who is stealing the peer pressure?

Still me.

so if you fire a laser and cover most of the opening with your fingers, the laser comes out at super intensity because of constant pressure, right?

then how come if you only fire the lase a little bit the laser doesn't come in at super intensity? who is stealing the pew pressure?

actually i have nothing to do with this one

What are you doing with all this stolen pressure?

so if you take a pvc pipe, tape up both of the ends, take a shop vac to the pipe with a preinstalled valve, and draw a vacuum on the entire tube, and poke a little hole in one end of the tape, the air shoots out at super speed because of constant pressure, right?

then how come if you only turn on the vacuum a little bit the air doesn't shoot out at super speed? who is stealing the vacuum pressure?

so if you write p = f/a and cover your finger over the a, the pressure goes towards infinity because dividing by very small numbers, right?

then how come if you only cover your finger over the a a little bit the pressure doesn't go towards infinity? who is stealing the pressure pressure?

so if you fghgfdgsaffnh.kjl/,n.bmvhgdrtew and srgbfdwqeragsdhjgtrew tthe mfhfdtrsewqv b rgthsdjmfgjtrewr fdsghv,bm.jhgfewartyu because of constant pressure, right?

then how come if you only gjfdrteahsdjffjrtewr a little bit the yserteawwathsdgfmgdfsrdew doesn't dsfhgnmhgrtewgfnbgf? who is stealing the hmfgndewqergfhrewqfrgd pressure?
