Does anyone have a cigarette? That was awesome! |

[JHC], you have set yourself a low standard, which you consistently fail to achieve. |

At least he's consistent... and it's not in Other:[General] ... |

"Moronic" - noted. MB, thank you for the invitation to your
first disability sensitivity education ritual. My feather is
going to come in handy. |
|
| |
Trolling is a disability now? Who knew? |
|
| |
As long as your happy, mate. |
|
| |
And that is a compliment. |
|
| |
//You are a moron MB.// Yes, of course. But I'm still entitled to wear the square brackets of the Halfbakery, [JHC]. |
|
| |
Not sure if this is true or not but I heard the other day that the expression; "be there or be square" is based on the fact that if you are not there, then you are not a round. |
|
| |
Anyhoo... in the interests of peace and tranquility I have endeavoured to see if I could figure out a way to make a flywheel/feather drone that would actually work and I think it is totally possible. |
|
| |
First off, I estimate that a minimum of nine feathers would be necessary to generate constant lift.
The flywheel would need to be the power source as well, so only limited flight times could be achieved between spin-ups. |
|
| |
You will also need two flywheels counter rotating in order to cancel out gyroscopic precession and I haven't given any thought at all to steering just lift and stability. |
|
| |
Taking a page from nature, the movements of the feather starfish as it swims, [link] would allow for feathered drone flight. |
|
| |
Now go to your room and think about what you've done mister... |
|
| |
Happiness is a warm onger. |
|
| |
The fly wheel and the feather cancel each other out. |
|
| |
Incorporating ailerons into wing warping resulted in World
Wars I and II. |
|
| |
Doesn't that kind of put us at bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, 2
strikes and 3 balls? |
|
| |
I don't think that resorting to football metaphors is very helpful at this juncture, [JHC]. |
|
| |
// 2 outs, 2 strikes and 3 balls // |
|
| |
Quite a load of balls, without doubt. |
|
| |
It would at least answer the koan of "what is the sound of one feather flapping?" |
|
| |
Personally I prefer the "What do the firemen do when the fire station is burning?" |
|
| |
// what the clumsiest looking machine capable of controlled flight is // |
|
| |
I'm confident that there is an equivalent dose of LSD,
mescaline, psilocybin, etc that one would need to ingest
in order for this latest round of [JHC] ideas to make
sense. |
|
| |
I propose that we form a working group and do the
testing to callibrate the scale. [JHC] is already way
ahead of us in providing the study material. |
|
| |
To be completely accurate, we're going to need large test
groups, control groups, appropriate cross-testing to
determine interactions and sensetivities - not to mention
large volumes of clinically pure psychedelic compounds.
To be thorough, some of our test subjects will need to be
unaware of the test itself, and others even aware but
unwilling. |
|
| |
After a few years of trial work in a suitable offshore
location, we should be able to come up with a scale
system, which will be calibrated against a 1-10 scale of
just how nonsensical any given idea is. |
|
| |
I say we calibrate the scale against this idea being a 7. |
