	Soda straw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A soda straw is a speleothem in the form of a hollow mineral tube.
		Because of this, soda straws are rarely seen within arms reach in tourist caves.
		A soda straw can turn into a stalactite if the hole at the bottom is blocked, or if the water begins flowing on the outside surface of the tube.

	æµé‘æ²æçé»æ»´: Cave Features
		As the water slowly drips through the straw, a bit of calcium carbonate is precipitated from the water and added to the end of the soda straw.
		Over time, the external growth of the soda straw blocks its hollow core, the internal flow ceases and the soda straw becomes a stalactite, which will be added to externally over the centuries.
		Soda straws basically do the job of transporting water drops down from the ceiling of the cave towards the floor of the cave one drop at a time; at this, they excel.

		The only materials needed are plastic soda straws, small paper clips, and rubber bands.

		The economic activities that most directly involve farmers are the sale of straw and the baling of straw, each bringing in between $600,000 to $1 million per year.
		Due to the characteristics of straw fiber, straw pulp has good smoothness, opacity and stiffness, but is lacking in tear and burst strength.
		Potassium, caustic soda, and stream-based pulping processes are all more suitable and could be used at a new mill, or incorporated into a straw pulping line at an existing mill, such as Smurfit-Stone mill in Frenchtown, Montana.

		Solar radiation that hits the top of a straw is either reflected back, transmitted all the way through to the bottom of the straw, or absorbed along its length.
		How the radiation hitting a conceptual straw at either end is partitioned among reflection, absorption, and transmission is a function of the atmosphere's state.
		A conceptual column is much like a soda straw, except that its diameter, corresponding to a grid spacing, is several hundred kilometers wide.

		Seattle-based Jones Soda Co. — which brought you WhoopAss energy drink, blue bubble gum and even canned-ham and fish-taco drinks — plans to test market its poultry-inspired beverage in Washington and Michigan beginning next week.
		But Jones Soda brands are popular, especially with younger people, said Pat Connors, store manager of POP the Soda Shop in Scottsdale, Ariz., which sells more than 450 beverages from its Internet site.
		Jones Soda is known for using the Web to market directly to customers, who can submit photographs that compete to become soda-bottle labels, Connors said.

		If the central water channel in a soda straw stalactite becomes plugged, water can be forced to the outside, with dramatic results.
		Water flows down a central tube in soda straw stalactites and deposits calcite crystals at the end as it encounters the cave air.
		If they join, growth will likely occur on the surface of the plugged soda straw, thickening the formation.

		The soda bottle magnetometer operates on the same principle as a "torsional pendulum" or "torsion balance".
		In the soda bottle magnetometer, the hanging sensor (magnet and mirror) will twist whenever a change in the direction of the magnetic field near the magnetometer changes.
		Like the soda bottle magnetometer, there are other non-electronic designs based on the principle of a twisting or torsional detector which turns under the influence of changes in the geomagnetic field.

		Actually it's more a coming of age, the natural evolution of a special type of stalactite: the soda straw.
		Crystals of calcite in a soda straw are oriented longitudinally and grow downward, so lengthening the straw.
		Most soda straws, however, eventually conduct water along their external surface, as well, and there deposit radially oriented calcite crystals perpendicular to their outer surface.
