Apr 9, 2014 at 4:13 comment added Daksh Shah @Jim I wanted to know the reason for it, involving physics not the bio one
Apr 8, 2014 at 16:22 comment added Jim Also, whether or not it is healthier for you is probably more about biology than physics

Apr 8, 2014 at 13:11 comment added New Alexandria @DakshShah this is a mainstream-science-centric site, and as such you will find better response and dialogue on your questions if you refrain from exposing certain people to the possibility of science that they are not yet ready for. Those who are researching for the possibility of new/old sciences will hear the root of your question, and you will still meet with the minds you hope to (while also getting straight answers from those otherwise-competent minds).

Apr 8, 2014 at 9:36 comment added evil999man @DakshShah You suggest to store water in lota and drink from glass or drink directly from it?
Apr 8, 2014 at 9:28 comment added Daksh Shah @Awesome did you see the vid? And if you do not believe in him, try searching from his other lectures, he has told about his research and all
Apr 8, 2014 at 9:27 comment added evil999man @DakshShah I am an indian
Apr 8, 2014 at 9:25 comment added Daksh Shah @Awesome Do you want me to translate it for you?
Apr 8, 2014 at 9:15 comment added Daksh Shah @Awesome It was given in a lecture from Rajiv Dixit which had done a research on ayurveda and all and did scintific experiments to prove it (youtube.com/watch?v=GMLH5qfMCjc) this is in which he is telling all this but it is in hindi :P
Apr 8, 2014 at 9:13 comment added evil999man @DakshShah Can you cite the exact source? Did someone tell you or you read it somewhere?
Apr 8, 2014 at 9:12 comment added Daksh Shah @Awesome compared to glass. Drinking water from lota is very very much better (beneficial) than drinking water from glass.
Apr 8, 2014 at 9:05 comment added evil999man @DakshShah You used the the term more Its relative. compared to what?
Apr 8, 2014 at 8:45 comment added Daksh Shah @Awesome I do not think that my source is of a noob, I am sort of sure that drinking water from lota is much more beneficial and the reason is scientific too... maybe this is not because of surface tension but there should be some scientific reason proving this....my source is from vagbat a great ayurvedic guru or something from the past, so i highly doubt that it can be untrue
Apr 8, 2014 at 8:33 comment added evil999man It could be vaguely related to the fact that surface tension changes with impurities and we should not drink impure water. But this is absurd. As pointed by John Surface tension is just a property of water/surface interface. Internet is filled with noobs
Apr 8, 2014 at 8:32 comment added evil999man Can you link your source?
Apr 8, 2014 at 8:11 comment added John Rennie A quick Google found claims that the lota reduces surface tension because it has a small opening. This isn't reducing surface tension, it's reducing surface energy. The surface tension is constant, which means that the greater the area of the air/water interface the greater the total surface energy. Having said this, if the lota is half full there will be a larger air/water interface area and therefore greater surface energy.

Apr 8, 2014 at 7:28 comment added John Rennie The surface tension does not depend on the container. It is a property of the water/air interface. Can you post a link for the claim that surface tension is lower in a burbot. I tried Googling but all I found were articles about the fish burbot.
