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

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.

that nobody else picked up on this.

I thought it was pretty good, but did't really appreciate it properly.
Thanks.

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!

Quitting so soon Jax?

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.

cannot really understand the whole concept of "hull speed."

there is no concept called "hull speed", just a bogus explanation given to 19th
century British naval brass as to why they couldn't make 100 mph speed boats
out of 200 ton square rigger sailboats, and explanation that chowderheads
believed was scientifically based.

Let's see ... in this corner I have Jax all by his lonesome claiming that
there is not such thing as a relation between hull shape, length, speed and
drag, and in the other corner we have the rest of the world. This includes
folks who do tow tank testing, ship designers, and yes, the military. (See
the Navy training material I posted earlier) The rest of the world chooses
to wrap up this relationship in a concept known as "hull Speed."

Jax, everyone else, Jax, everyone else; who to belive?

Its a tough one, but I think I am going to side with the rest of the world.

P.S. I wonder what the voices in Jax head will tell him to say next?

jax ,, if nothing eles , you are consistent. Where do you get this stuff?
