New Royal Caribbean Ships promise an onboard Windtunnel
Remster replied to Maxx's topic in Wind Tunnels
It does seem like Bernoulli's principle would cause the flyer to stay in the center. At least in theory. I disagree. Let's say the ship tilts 5º to one side. At that point, the wind flow is 5º off of perpendicular, but the pull of gravity is still straight down. I.E. the wind flow is no longer aligned with the pull of gravity. So gravity is going to pull the flyer down at a 5º angle relative to the wind - like being in a track position with the upper body tilted downward. And the jumper will slide towards the wall on the downward-tilted side of the tunnel. If I could draw a picture it would be a lot easier to see. But I can't draw... Imagine that ping pong ball balanced in a column of air from the hair dryer pointing straight upwards. Now slowly tilt the hair dryer to one side. What's going to happen? The ping poing ball will be blown off to the side in the direction of the tilt. In all reality though, a ship that big probably is unlikely to be tilting much, and the flyer will likely be unaffected by such things. Mmmm... Maybe we're both wrong. But I'm curious about how applicable the principle is to very un-aerodynamic things like bodies.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgHvC55AKig Remster -

8.2 feet???? That's crazy small. Remster -
New Royal Caribbean Ships promise an onboard Windtunnel
Remster replied to Maxx's topic in Wind Tunnels
My instinct says the flyer should remain "still" as he is not physically connected to the ship , and the walls should bash into him But on the other hand , have you ever put a pinpong ball on the jet of a hair dryer and move it around , ball remains in center of air flow Well, as the ship sways, so would the air stream... So the flyer would (well, im my mind anyways)get some destabilizing force acting on in, ie, the airflow being out-of-line from gravity. Remster -

Allegedly, use of the tunnel would be inclusive of the cruise package. Considering these monster have move than 5,000 passenger, I could see there would be a cap on how much time you could fly. Remster -
I did not see any credit card data in that study You can come up with whatever allegory to make yourself feel better about your assumptions, but the data does not support what was used as proven fact to push austerity. Remster

Explosions at the Boston Marathon finish line area today
Remster replied to BillyVance's topic in Speakers Corner
Sorry. ***Authorities have a identified a suspect, a Saudi national, who is currently being guarded in a Boston hospital with shrapnel wounds. Boston police are denying that anyone is a suspect. The JFK fire is now being called unrelated. The New York Post seems to have "facts" wildly different from other news sites. Like saying 22 are dead... (now down to 12 on their site) Remster -
Name a food that can not be made better with Bacon
Remster replied to jgoose71's topic in The Bonfire
So if food has no beer value, and since we can assume beer has plenty of beer value, beer cannot be food. QED Remster -
So tell us how much you think a person needs to retire. I would say it's a 5% to maybe 10% problem. Remster

So you feel that reporters, in some cases, should be forced? Remster -
