Clothing Definition and 17 Threads

it doesn’t seems to make sense. In my college or anywhere else I go, don’t see anybody wearing the same clothes or accessories as me. clothes designs are produced in mass, and I feel as if I should see other people wearing same clothes as mine. it’s almost as if they have been personalised to...

I mention the details in the book (verbatim) in the form of a paragraph in green below. Later I ask my questions in blue font for better reading. "Surface tension also explains why hot, soapy water is used for washing. To wash clothing thoroughly, water must be forced through the tiny spaces...

Recently I heard that NEFFUL clothes, when rubbed with our skin, could release anions (refer to attached image for more details). I do not doubt the generation of anion, due to Triboelectric effect. But could anyone advise, where does the "cations" that were produced during the ionization go?

so I am hatching an idea for a system of equipment which requires a focussed wavelength which will not greatly widen over distances of less than a mile. Also the waveform needs to be sensible by receiver antenna or something of a similar nature. It is necessary that the waveform be able to...

Happened to pass someone wearing a t-shirt today with the logo: F/C^2(sqrt(-1))PV/nR Could you explain to me what this means? Thank you

I am 67 and three years ago I was diagnosed with uv aggravated eczema.

All else being equal, which color clothing would be best if you are exposed to a nuclear explosion (far enough away where you're not instantly killed, but still subjected to significant radiant energy)? Black or white? It seems like black clothing would get hotter and could thus burn you by...

Is it possible to have friction between clothing and a giant rock equal to 833 N? The μ would equal 4.58. Isn't it too big?

Hello, My name is Joe and I am a industrial design student currently working on my final year project in university. I am seeking some information regarding the project, which I hope someone on here may be able to help with. My question is regarding clothing irons and how can wrinkles in...

Hey One thing i have always wondered, when clothes become wet (say a blue t-shirt) it is a lot darker when you cover it in water. What is happening with the wet t-shirt to a dry t-shirt that reduces the amount of reflection ? Water is pretty much transparent (tap water for this...

I design consumer products and have just received a commission to build a piece of clothing that transmits sensor data to a smartphone. I'm looking for the best places to begin my research. Is there someone here that could help me? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks...

This seems disturbing, does anyone else think so? People wear silk when it is made from these worms and that it comes out of their bodies http://bhimbros.com/images/silk_worm2.jpg why would anyone want that sort of thing touching their skin? And there are clothing dyes made from crushed bugs...
