Matt,

the secret is in the reading of the rest of his insightful replies to the
group. I know, not a pleasant thought - but essential.

The Bernoulli quote was from me, and the refutation "do not have lift
because of "Bernoulli" inspite of... blah, blah" says a lot more about him
than it does about physics. The earth doesn't have gravity because of
Newton, and dark matter isn't necessarily a figment of someone's
imagination, just because JAXAshby can't hold it in his hands.

Try not to feed the guy! Feel free to respond to the original post,
though...

Jax,

How much have you studied the response of sails?

By studied, I mean with real data from instruments calibrated to
accepted standards and in standardized conditons.

If not Bernoulli, Then perhaps you will explain to the readers how the
Kutta-Zhukovsky Theorem can explain everything without assistance of the
equations set out by Daniel Beroulli. Or, did you have something else
in mind?

no, you won't. wings/sails do not have lift because of "Bernoulli"
inspite of
the fact you can read such in thousands of kiddie books.
