Ironing Board Physics: The Study of Folds

Welcome, physicists and ironing enthusiasts. We're here to explore the intricacies of fabric folding.

Subpages:

The Fundamentals of Folding

Folding in Real-World Scenarios

The Science of Steaming (a.k.a. How to Make Your Clothes Less Stinky)

What We're Working On:

Right now, we're studying the aerodynamics of the wrinkle.

Our current hypothesis: The wrinkle is a vortex that forms when fabric meets gravity.

We're also investigating the effects of steam on fabric tension.

Stay tuned for our next research paper: "Folding, a New Frontier in Physics."
