Hit that wave in 100 mph and you have a BIG air. :D

97BossHammer 04-21-2004 04:50 PM

Reed Jensen 04-21-2004 06:25 PM

OMG... could you imagine a mountain of water like that headed your way?

R Addiction 04-21-2004 06:38 PM

Key word here.....................$HIT!!!!

Comanche3Six 04-21-2004 08:09 PM

I'm sure there is bigger water on the Great Lakes.
MoneyMind would know.

georges 04-21-2004 08:49 PM

Any MIT professors out there for some physics calculations...........?
let's assume you are in a a Top Gun with........it really doesn't matter the HP in this situation......and let's say a launch speed of 60 mph off the crest of a 100ft tall wave (keep in mind, there probably is a 150ft hole behind it)........the question is:
How far and how high would you fly above and beyond the initial 100 footer?:eureka: ............and...........what are your chances of survival?:confused: :D

wwwTOPDJcom 04-21-2004 09:18 PM

ZERO

But if its was a Apache it would float back to the surface
unscathed

Rforsey 04-21-2004 09:20 PM

I think I would abandon ship, by way of helicopter...

what was the name of the movie... with the fishermen?
oh I know it just can't think of it....

fatdaddy 04-21-2004 09:25 PM

Just sit tight LPA2106 will have an answer for you real soon.:D :rolleyes:

Formula Outlaw 04-21-2004 09:43 PM

I'm just kind of surprised there are no "extreme" surfers riding it. :D

Ron P 04-21-2004 09:48 PM

Reggie's next speed run will be down the face of one of those waves.:eek:

ROFLMAO :D:D:D

To give an honest answer, if you were to hit that at 60-MPH I believe the boat would land stern first on the back side of the wave.

Trout, you eating donuts with LPA2106 again?

on the way to mit's night class:D

I used to have video on one of my old computers of a fishing boat out of Gloucester were the wave goes over the boat, you hear the fishermen in the background counting off for about 8-10 seconds and then they pop out the top of the water again. NO FREEKING WAY would I want that job....

Well, lets make some assumptions here.....first, lets assume the boat FALLS the total vertical distance of the height of the wave crest (100 ft). And, lets assume the take off angle was +45 degrees. With this in mind, the horizontal distance the boat would travel at a 60 MPH vault would be approx. 317.659 feet...not adjusting for center of mass...

:)

Please check the calculations here. They sound a bit skewed to me.:)

Audiofn 04-22-2004 07:37 AM

Ya Troutly I came up with 317.656 feet :p :p :p

Audiofn 04-22-2004 07:38 AM

Oh see I took into account for the driving rain pushing down on the boat and the dencity of the air :D:D The devil is in the details :D:D
