Talk:Brazil nut effect

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bit about a cereal box helping to combat the Brazil nut effect; is that actually true? Where is the cite? (Have added a {{Fact}} tag). 163.1.167.122 (talk) 22:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

In the photo of the mixed nuts on a flat surface all the nuts are unshelled except the Brazil nut. For purposes of comparison it might be better of all the nuts were either shelled or unshelled.

Hi

I don't think that the revised sentence did have the same meaning, because in the newer version it's not clear what the counterintuitive behaviour is. The older version makes it clear that the odd thing is the heavier particles ending up on top.

I'll revert but I reckon the sentence could be improved nontheless.

best wishes

There should be a link to the Brazil Nut article from the words "Brazil nuts" at the end of the first paragraph.

The picture of the lone Brazil nut should be labled Brazil nut in the shell or a picture of a shelled Brazil nut should be found.
