Somebody farted in the group again,, opps, Jax is back! For someone who adds absolutely no value to this newsgroup, you sure whine a lot. Wouldn't you be happier reading some nonsense over on AOL? Email sent to is never read. |

A couple of newbie questions
"JAXAshby" wrote in message ... So, you don't know what it means either? it has no meaning in this context, though some semblence of meaning comes about at higher orders of magnitude of hull speeds, say at 10,000x to 100,000x, or 1,000,000x hull speed. snip There it is ... Jax in full flower; a thing of beauty, really. I had to read this passage several times to appreciate the awesome power of a full-on Jax statement. This may go down as one of the best to date. I am truly surprised that nobody else picked up on this. I am used to seeing nominal hull speeds of perhaps seven or ten knots. For some ships, maybe 30 knots. In JaxWorld, the designs (and discussions related to design) includes speeds of ten thousand to a million times "nominal" hull speed. Truth be told, I have *never* before contemplated what happens at "higher orders of magnitude of hull speeds!" Tell me Jax, when you are working with designs like this, what do you budget for propulsive power? Are there any special problems you encounter making the New York to London run in under a second? Does the sonic boom present any special design problems? Do you have any problem with the sea boiling away under your keel? For that matter, what material do you build your hulls out of? Considering that at a speed of 7 million knots, you may have some, um, special problems picking up radio waves, do you practice dead reckoning as you travel? Jax, I am *so* glad you're back. Mark Browne P.S. Decisions, decisions? Do you dig a deeper hole or admit you were spouting off by typing without thinking? |

And yet, strangely, here you are replying. Again. |

As opposed to your personal attacks on me? You mean, my scurrilous, unconscionable opinion that I expressed *once* recently, where I observed that you are often "flagrantly rude" in rec.boats? If you call that sort of observation a "personal attack," Mr. Krause, well, maybe Usenet is just too harsh an environment for you. I believe this is the second or third time we're reading this screed of yours, and there have been others. This would be the fourth time you've repeated your remarks, I believe. Nope. Once. Move on, fellow. Stop perseverating. If you can't, perhaps you should do something about it. The perseverating, I mean. |

Are you thinking of opening a discussion with Jax on "hull speed" in the context of relativistic speeds? That should be good. Instead of wave making resistance, we could have wavicle making! Jax, I am *so* glad you're back. It is kind of fun. This is what the internet is *for* dammit! Regards Doug King |

A couple of newbie questions
"JAXAshby" wrote in message ... hey, squathead, what part of English don't you understand? the statement *clearly* says "climbing the bow wave" is of no consequence at or near hull speed. snip Sorry Jax, Some of us did not realized that you were *still* brooding over a flame war you had with Doug Meredith, BigBadJohn, otnmbrd , and David Logan in July 2001: http://www.google.com/groups?as_epq=...=lang_en&hl=en You will understand why I missed your "climbing the bow wave" reference, *I* was not part of that thread. That said, looking back over the earlier thread, and looking at *this* thread, I can't see any reference to any formula for hull speed that uses the sine function. Can you set me straight on that? Also, I am still struggling with this "higher orders of magnitude of hull speeds" issue. Re-reading the 2001 thread, I noticed that you were making reference to the works of Albert "Sailor Al" Einstein. Do these high speeds have something to do with the Theory of Relativity? If so, can you enlighten me on how that works? Mark Browne P.S. It just gets better and better! |

both of you are nuts. It is like trying to discuss polymer chemistry with acid
heads.

MENSA won't like it if you admit that you really don't know what a sine function or an asymptote is, and cannot really understand the whole concept of "hull speed." They might revoke your high IQ guarantee. DSK |
