Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
Nope. If anything, this year's heat retention rate is actually higher than last year's.
That said, I'm also still in Division B, which only changed to 20x20x20.

Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
Yes, you can use it a "fastener", or even as an insulator since its not a foam or commerical insulation, though I don't know how effective that would be.tagfam wrote:Does anyone know if glue can be used (i.e Elmer's glue) inside the box?

Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
I suspect it depends on what he's trying to glue together. I know one past box I've had used wood glue, but that was on wood (obviously).135scioly wrote:Yes, you can use it a "fastener", or even as an insulator since its not a foam or commerical insulation, though I don't know how effective that would be.tagfam wrote:Does anyone know if glue can be used (i.e Elmer's glue) inside the box?

Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
Yeah, we used hot glue for that because it dries way faster, but Elmers glue would work too.tagfam wrote:Thank you. Wanting to use it to attach wool to lid.

Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
I think I have a question similar to this. I have cotton balls on my lid, and they go into the beaker, but not touching the water, if that makes sense. However the beaker is 2.5 cm below the lid...so basically is it ok that the cotton balls are inside the beaker? I know something like this has been asked before, I just want to know for sure. Thanks!siciscio wrote:Part of my device extends below the below, it's less than 2.5 cm ABOVE the lip of the beaker.
however if you account the portion below the beaker than it would be out of specs. What are you're thoughts? Should I send in a rule clarification for this? Thanks in advance

Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
Yup there was,
as long as your within the no more than 2.5 cm rule you should be ok
Now do you mean it is 2.5 cm with the cotton inside or without the cotton?
