Vapor condenses at a wave front. Would heat transfer of condensation cause air expansion and increased heat of resistance? |
|
|
I thought that vapor condenses at a wave front because it was transitioning from an area of lower to higher pressure. If the vaporator released its vapor into the high pressure area at the front of the vehicle, there would be no transition. |
|
|
Also I believe that vapor (eg water in gas phase) is not really the correct term for this - I think the principal effector is tiny airborne droplets of water in liquid phase. I might be wrong about that. |

It occurs to me that if this principle works, it could be applied to speed the fall of the "negative glider" proposed by [Basepair] (linked). |
|
|
I'm thinking that using a different atmosphere to travel through would be cheating. Otherwise, you might as well just put the vehicle in a very long vacuum tube. |

[Curry] - if you mean the glider, let us move our discussion there. I have another new idea for that glider, too. |
