Hi.

Drano is a caustic chemical. To quote a contractor “It’s a race which gets eaten thru first – the clog or the pipe”. Usually the clog gives out first, otherwise no one would buy Drano, sulfuric acid and other nasty stuff that gets dumped down drains.

Would that be the Venturi or Bernoulli effect? In either case I think a ball close to the wall would be slowed down a bit and forced away from the wall by the wedge of air trapped and compressed by the ball’s curved shape between it and the wall.

Ventura effect: Cold Minnesotan air, the inhalation of which numbs the logic center of one’s brain, leading to the election of ridiculously unqualified governors and senators.
