Where's the Coanda smiles label?

Tecumseh said...

Why Coanda? More like, Galileo.

Mr roT said...

Didn't Coanda fly the rocket that proved the thing once and for all with human eyeballs seeing what orbited what?

Tecumseh said...

Nah, you got it all wrong. That was Hermann Oberth, guy from Sibiu.

Mr roT said...

I think he had a tsuica-fueled rocket that he used to fly around the neighborhood and take pictures of chicks in the bathroom.

Tecumseh said...

Hah, you're just being jealous. Of course, there is the Oberth effect named after him (not as famous as the Coanda effect, but close).

And there is also the Oberth maneuver, that you should try one day.

Mr roT said...

Wow. F=ma.

Tecumseh said...

Tsuica effect at work. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Herr Rot.

Looks like a lotta \lesssims, Tecs! You havin a life change?

Tecumseh said...

No absurd \lesssims there, just solving (more-or-less exactly) plain old boring ODEs.
