Re: Salt Lake City?

I remember a "Scientific American" article on this. My search resulted
immediately in a more recent discussion.

http://www.wonderquest.com/cat-falling.htm

bc who will attempt to find the article he remembers

p.s. he remembers the article, as above does, discussed the problem of
conservation of angular momentum.

There was an article in The Physics Teacher, perhaps ten years
ago, about a mechanical model of a cat dropped in the legs-up
position. The cat always manages to land in the legs-down
position. The author was from Salt Lake City; his name was
something like Gali (?). I no longer store old issues of TPT. If
somebody has them please help me to find his name and the
address of his school. Thanks in advance,

If somebody on our list is from Salt Lake City, or nearby, please
let me know. Or perhaps you have a good friend there.

I plan to participate in a private experiment there and have some
questions to ask. The experiment's goal is to demonstrate that
radioactivity (deliberately dissolved in water) can be reduced via
a cold fusion process. Yes, I am skeptical. Yes, I am open minded.
Yes, I will share what I learn. Yes, I suspect that the University of
Utah does not want to be linked with another cold fusion claim.

The item about the claim will soon be posted (probably tomorrow)
on my cold fusion web site. It will be a summary of a 1998 article
describing a tabletop experiment in which 50% of radioactivity
was said to be destroyed in only 30 minutes. An ideal cold fusion
experiment for an undergraduate science lab? Why not?
