60 knots in an Akula? - Page 3

Kapitan · 03-08-06, 04:42 PM

No im just curious to how he worked it out, i just want to know how he did the math, not trying to prove him wrong but im generaly intreguged into how he did it and i want to know how.

Its curiosity mainly and the motive is to learn not to be arrogant. (if i have used that word in the right form)

He showed you how he came up with the math.

Hmmm ok il have to read then re read again a few times before it clicks.

I have the damn video embedded in an email, and I can't remove it. I only get the first damn frame. Helpp!!! If I get it figured out, I will post it here.

PS. Yes - your akula has the same capability - probably even faster since the 688i is probably doing 85+ MPH, so the Akula is probably hitting 90 MPH

Here's a screenshot of a Seawolf doing a Full E-Blow at 35 kts from 2100ft

It wants to save it as a bmp. I tried to copy paste it out of Outlook, but it won't go. I think I have an idea though.

Yeah - someone should do an experiment with a streamlined cork to see what types of speeds we can attain!

I assume a cork that is in a ball type shape, with air pumped into the center could acheive some dramatic speeds!

SUBMAN1 · 03-10-06, 04:48 PM

Well, this vid will have to do then since I can't find the one I really want. I have another one that is more clear, but I need to find that.

-S

PS. To imagine that that thing is 360 feet long and the water is moving past it that fast!!

PPS. Can someone tell me why my Firefox is not playing this at full FPS? IE plays it at full FPS, but Firefox seems to take its time.

Probably not, unless you used a really big cork. Small objects won't go as fast as large ones, because their ratio of surface area to volume (which, for similar structures, more or less corresponds to a friction to weight/buoyant force ration) is bigger for small things.

if the top speed wasn't secret we could solve the problem but on this newspaper it was a secret as the sub was an essential part for WWII

amazing ain't it

Really makes you think at those ideas of revolutionary vehicles, like he could deploy wings and start to fly
