Guillermo, I'd still appreciate an answer to my question at #364, but try this attachment on for size -- it addresses DWFTTW a bit, but primarily...
Hi Guillermo Would you mind answering the question that I asked Boston @ #251? This would determine whether I would need to provide you with...
More Boston: I have already pointed out where your math was wrong but I'll happily do it again: See Post #260, third paragraph from the...
We've been flawless in our credit to others. Pop quiz from our MythBusters Video -- -- What's the first picture you see on the screen?...
Boston: >in the end I was wrong Well, there's the key. How are you feeling about that "blown out of the water" proof you produced now...
It's not "analogous", it *indentical": The sail of the ice-boat takes a spiral/corkscrew path downwind an angle to the wind. No part of the...
And the thing you apparently won't slow down enough to grasp is that the sail on the cart does *THE EXACT SAME THING* ... they (there's two after...
I do apologize, as I did miss that answer. Thank you. You probably shouldn't wonder any more as it look like perhaps you were "elected" by...
Not sure what happened there masalai -- try this one: http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=ndqeit2m3gz&thumb=5 JB
Tcubed: >or at any other angle Only speaking for our device, it becomes less efficient at any angle off the wind, up or down. This is because...
Here is a drawing I did some time ago to demonstrate the ratio differences you are describing:...
Not sure which machine you are referring to when you say "machine like this", but I can say this -- the transition for the cart sail is indentical...
This is true Rick but one must be careful how that information is presented -- many people object to our device *precisely* based on the above...
Tcubed, I don't think you'll find any theoretical limitations until lightspeed comes into play -- practical limitations will kick in a something...
Boston: >my beliefs are irrelevant to the validity >of the physics involved. If asked to explain things to *you*, your beliefs are of...
As I remind everyone when discussing these efficiencies -- the wind is very powerful -- we can't go wasting power willy-nilly, but if merely...
You have had no way to know this clmanges, so this isn't a criticism, but you have it backwards -- we built the darn things and recorded the...
Boston, the ball is still in your court when it comes you our exchange. See previous post above. JB
If you wish an exchange with me (and it's fine if you don't), the balls is in your court as I stated, because I have nicely asked you to answer...
There are many aspects to vehicle dynamics, but to tell you the truth the form of the small cart was determined by availability of parts and...
