Exponential water tank
Exponential water tank 1This example aims to demonstrate our inability to fully grasp **[exponential functions][wikg].** As [Albert Bartlett][barl] once said, *"The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function."* This little D3 animation is based on a paper by Dr Bartlett.
23Our action hero, a pixelated version of [Chris Martenson][chrs], stands on a platform inside an empty 4000 litre water tank. At the very bottom of the tank lies a magic drop of water. Invisible to the eye now, it doubles in size every 10 seconds.
45Although the growth rate is constant, for a long time we see no change. But there's a well known limit, the capacity of the tank. Once he realises that water is rising exponentially, poor pixellated Chris has no time left to react.
