Talk:Funneling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beer Pong and Beirut are completely different than funneling, and therefore should not be merged.

I agree, however, the suggestion is to merge with beer bong (not beer pong). -SCEhardt 01:50, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Why was the advanced funneling section removed? I'm not sure I understand the idea of original reserach vs. non-original research as it applies to this term. 70.106.3.83 14:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

The sentence about hybrid modelling requires a reference.

[edit] pictures

I don't think the 3 different pictures add a lot of value. All 3 pictures show the same thing. I propose keeping one picture and dropping the other two. 70.106.3.83 16:05, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] i wish i had pictures

Funneling is common near my college campus. Im a student and have seen and filled an aprox. 25ft tall, 1 Gal. beer bong. I didnt see anybody drink a whole gallon at once that night.I wish i had a pic to contribute. it was built on a steel windmill.

[edit] maybe mention pressure

pressure difference is based soley on difference in height. that is what drives beer flow. "Pressure difference = density x g x height" (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/pman.html)


So ethyl alcohol has a density of 0.789 g/cm³ and water is about 1g/cm3 so (5% alcohol+95%water)=.05*0.789 g/cm³ + .95*1g/cm³=.99g/cm³ (density of beer) which means .99g/cm³*1000 kg/m³=990kg/m³ (beer density) so 990kg/m³*(9.8m/s^2){gravity constant}*1m (length from beer foam to mouth)=9702N/m^2 so the pressure at your lips with one metre tubing is 9702N/m^2 or 1.407psi (145.04×10−6psi/N/m^2*9702N/m^2)

1m=(3.28feet)

so i would say that great pressures can be reached by funneling since the difference between beer height and your throat multiplies the pressure linearly with length.

When was the beer bong invented/come into common use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.132.228.228 (talk) 21:02, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

It's true, which makes
v_{beer} \propto \sqrt{L}
where vbeer is the velocity of the beer and L is the length of the tubing (assuming tubing is kept at constant angle as length is increased).--Loodog (talk) 23:37, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The local pub?

"Popular in the local pub"? I've drunk in dozens of pubs in the past few years, and never once seen this practice. I'd expect many landlords would chuck you out for trying it. Citation certainly required; or perhaps the author means her/his local pub, which should be named! 85.211.136.251 (talk) 16:21, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
