Thanks for a magnificent set of data and predictions, Mikko. All the best to you for the Heavier-Wider Season and the New Year!
I needed a hook on which to hang the silly picture and your misplaced apostrophe fitted the purpose perfectly. All the best for the...
I wouldn't say that it is really a hydraulic jump as such. Attached is a short paper that shows experiments and predictions for transom...
it's? [IMG]
Someone asked what I'd talk to about with Newton. I'd talk to him about maths and physics, thank him for his magnificent achievements, and...
You can do it until your blue in the face, but it is still nonsense. Like your fancy Thorium car, chi doesn't exist. It's a figment of your...
Very capable summary, Slavi! I'll just add that stern wedges and flaps can help reduce transom drag. There are many papers available on the...
"Do you know what they call alternative medicine that's been proved to work? - Medicine." - Tim Minchin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhGuXCuDb1U
Your non-conformity is in no way a bad thing, nor should it be criticised in any way. The bs you spread is another matter completely. I've...
Proponents claim to prove the existence and power of chi by healing people with acupuncture, acupressure, meridian dentistry, or chi kung (qi...
It just amused me to see someone seriously promoting known claptrap, again. Here's some pictures of figureheads from Thai Royal Barges as...
That must have been written by someone who also believes in "alternative medicine". Random picture? Amazing that it went so nicely with that...
So you just post any old worthless claptrap without verifying it and expect us to believe it? It's hilarious that you don't even research any of...
Sure you didn't. That's why you told us how many patents were in place. The car story is a total fiction and you tried to convince us it is an...
Seems like you fell for one of the oldest cons in a long list of claptrap about thorium. I knew I'd seen that car somewhere before... "So...
Sounds like you have just invented half a SWATH :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-waterplane-area_twin_hull Stability is the problem...
Yes, but I explained that I over-stated the case for the beam-squared relationship: see DCockey's summary. Also pay close attention to AdHoc's...
Because I foolishly over-stated the case in the early hours. I should have said if displacement is not kept constant. Then if the beam is...
I'll add... Wave resistance scales (roughly) like beam squared. Doubling the draft, while keeping length and displacement constant, means...
You were lucky! There have been a few deaths because people thought they couldn't accelerate through TSR =1. As you said, it makes a huge...
