kick it off with this nice one, as it was the inspiration for the
fractal that I created above for this thread. (If anyone really likes
it, I would be happy to render it much nicer and bigger, custom to your
preferences.
I call it the zen of fluid dynamics. Sit in a
sunbeam in a dimly-lit room. Light a stick of incense, hold it
vertically, then move it upwards and stop suddenly, with a jerk. A
perfect smoke-ring will be launched from the burning tip. Move the
incense upwards, then suddenly jerk downwards, then repeat. You can
launch fast smoke-rings through the center of slow ones, create side-by
side rows, etc. In a draft-free room they persist for ages, and soon
the air will be full of huge grey thin circles. Contemplate the silent chaos. |
