Ocean Flow

Will an ocean power a water wheel?--Anachron 13:20, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Magma Flow

I'm considering modifying the note on flow in magma but I'm not sure how. Magma flows in the sense that it moves like a liquid, and has no pressure. It also doesn't blink between a wave and a double wave when flowing, and you can't test if it follows the flow mechanics because water wheels burn up in magma. What exactly requires verification in it is unclear, as well. Is it just the fact that magma doesn't blink when flowing, or the fact that it follows flow mechanics? --Eurytus 12:44, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
