"Breakthrough: Resolving the 141-Year-Old 'Reverse Sprinkler' Conundrum"
After 141 years, scientists from New York University have finally solved the "reverse sprinkler" problem by designing a device that sucks in water and discovered that it spins counter-clockwise 50 times slower than a normal sprinkler. This breakthrough sheds light on fluid dynamics and could help us better understand sustainable energy sources like wind and water currents.
