He hooked you Oz, and with old bait.

As soon as he screwed up and post; "One side is curved, it was obvious
he had a wing in mind and was thinking of "Newton Law"

Don't mention Bernoulli. Just sit back and let him take line. He isn't
ready to have the hook set just yet.

He is still asking leading questions. Let him run with it for awhile

Ole Thom

old thom, you are babbling, trying desparately to convince yourself that what
you learned in a sailing book loooooooooooooooooooong ago HAS TO BE RIGHT, even
though the sailing book was written by an amateur.

just why in hell do you think that air behaves differently over a verticle
surface as compared to a horizontal surface?

Jax,

The description of the operations of a sail say they work because the
air flows over a curved sail. A CURVED SAIL.

The Jax description of the action is sail is the only one I've seen that
says;"One side of the sail is curved.

Jax, there is a difference between a Sail and a Wing. A Wing can have
one curved side. A Sail, by it's nature, must curve both side.

Now that we understand that, you can continue on with your Troll of
"Newton's Laws" for the action of a Sail's power generation.

While you're at it, why not explain Jax's Method of up wind motion with
bare poles! ( That was a good one) Maybe Horse-Fat will understand.

Ole Thom

the forward vector is not produced by the curve.

Just a quick note, Sails are curved on both sides and yes that curve
has a great deal to do with moving the boat.


oxxy, give it up. you make any first year aero eng student choke and gag
with
your silliness. you are dumber than his sister, and she is still in high
school.
T'would be interesting to hear from your vast wealth of knowledge why
the curve then has nothing or little to do with moving the boat.


Oz1...of the 3 twins.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

Where did I (or anyone) say the antisiphon valve is _in_ the exhaust?

Now tell us why you think you don't need an antisiphon valve. Vague
references to gas laws are required.

Cheers

dum-dum, *that* antisiphon valve is NOT in the exhaust.

what a dumb cluck.

Also, it refers to a *cooling* water hose -- before the exhaust -- said outlet
of which is ------ lower than the waterline ------- a forbidden practise, and
in most engine installations damned difficult to install incorrectly.

what a dumb cluck.

Read it and learn:

It is incredible what one can learn on a usenet group. Why, just today, I

learn that sails move a boat forward "because they are curved on one side".

Don't mention Bernoulli.

aero engineers don't.

the discussion was about a wet exhaust. It was NOT about an installation done
prior in a forbidden manor. the guy had not had a problem with the boat
before, therefore the water injection point was not (through impropper
installation) below the waterline.

Now tell us why you think you don't need an antisiphon valve. Vague

you can't siphon water uphill using the weight of exhaust gas going downhill.
dud!

OK Oz,

He is on good and solid. He hooked himself. It's a double. You play him
for awhile. When you get tired I'll work him for awhile.

Ole Thom
P/S when you get to condensing gas I'll take over. Have fun

olde thom, you are drunk.

Jax,

You know what they say; "A drunk is the luckiest Fisherman!"

That was a nice Leap Oz. Remember we're doing catch and release. Don't
work him to hard.
