Halfbakery: Sealing water pipe leaks from within Apparently a massive proportion of water cleaned in the modern world and piped to our homes is lost on the journey in antiquated mains pipe networks riddled with leaks – obviously very wasteful, and in some countries dangerous given their water shortages. According to many water companies fixing such leaks is not cost effective as it involves digging up roads in major urban areas and replacing miles of ancient pipes. Outside the pipe, particles will begin to form a blockage as they expand, and eventually will be able to force themselves (and hence the water) a smaller and smaller distance from the leak, until that distance becomes zero, and therefore the leak is now blocked. www.halfbakery.com /idea/Sealing_20water_20pipe_20leaks_20from_20within   (1052 words)

GrassCity.Com - What's a water pipe? Water pipes find their origin in the Ottoman Empire: once a world power with a high level of civilisation. Water pipes in these regions are used to smoke special kinds of tobacco, like honey and apple tobacco. The water in the pipe filter's a great deal of the tar and other carcinogens from the herbs, making the smoke even more pure. shop.grasscity.com /shop/grasscity/water_pipes.html   (253 words)

Mike Holt's Code Forum: metal water pipe bonding...why? Now, if this building were to have a plastic water pipe feeding in from the street and the only electrode for the building were a couple of ground rods, which are allowed to have a maximum of #6 copper to these electrodes... The gas piping system is only required to be bonded with the same size wire as the grounding conductor of the circuit that would energize the pipe. But 250.104(A)(1) requires the bonding jumper to a metal water pipe to be sized according to table 250.66 as if it is likely to be energized by the supply side of the service. www.mikeholt.com /cgi-bin/codeforum/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=next_topic;f=7;t=001351;go=older   (767 words)

MAPS - Volume 6 Number 3 Summer 1996 - The second (Picture #4) was a homemade, hybrid apparatus, in which vapors were produced by a hot air gun and then drawn through a beaker of water, thereby combining vaporization with water filtration. This suggests that water filtration is actually counterproductive, apparently because water tends to absorb THC more readily than noxious tars. However, the situation was complicated by the fact that the cannabinoids produced by the electric hotplate vaporizer were unusually high in CBN, leaving 30% less THC as a percentage of the total cannabinoids than with the other smoking devices. www.maps.org /news-letters/v06n3/06359mj1.html   (2113 words)

LEMA to replace 250-metre water pipe in Talbiyyeh camp   (Site not responding. Last check: ) According to a senior LEMA official, the move came after the tap water of seven homes in the camp was contaminated by “non-potable” water which leaked into the pipeline from an as yet unknown source, prompting one resident to complain.

All Headline News - Smoking Hookah Still Not Good - March 10, 2007 A new study in the November issue of the Journal of Periodontology finds hookah smoking is just as bad, and in some cases worse, than cigarette smoking for users' teeth.

Kenneth Krebs, president of the American Academy of Periodontology says, "Even though the smoke is filtered out by water, inhalation of toxic substances is similar to or even greater than that of cigarette smoking. www.allheadlinenews.com /articles/7000930949   (296 words)

Water-pipe (narghile) smoking: an emerging health risk behavior. The few scientific data regarding the adverse health consequences of WPS point to dangers that are similar to those associated with cigarette smoking: malignancy, impaired pulmonary function, low birth weight, and others. Additional dangers not encountered with cigarette smoking are infectious diseases resulting from pipe sharing and the frequent addition of alcohol or psychoactive drugs to the tobacco. Public health strategies for controlling the emerging epidemic of WPS include carrying out epidemiologic and toxicologic research; implementation of laws to limit acquisition and use; and health education, targeting adolescents in particular. www.tobacco.org /news/201861.html   (170 words)

Personification of a water pipe? The is about the fifth of these I have seen recently, and the reverse dies (at least) seem all to be different; it would seem that this cannot be a very scarce coin.
