[QUOTE="StarLord, post: 39603, member: 44"] [b]Re: Physics idea[/b] Ha! lets see the math. Back to Kero, "at what size would the ship be where it would experience the phenomenon of one side moving before the other does? [B]Wouldn't you need a two or three part [I]ship[/I] that is connected by cables to each section and there's some play in the cables? If a ship is a whole and not made of seperate parts, how can you have the left side or front, move faster or slower than the right side or back of the vessel? [/B] I think it's a pretty interesting question and one that might be thought of in the future if we ever make star destroyers. By then, they'll probably forgetaboudit "pushing" and instead PULL a craft by creating a contained singularity that you can adjust the mass by adjusting the power fed into it. Kind of like FTL, Horse and carrot on a stick all rolled into one. Do ocean going ships experience this phenomenon but at a smaller scale? Does the stern move faster than the bow? At what point does it become a problem? [B]If I'm not mistaken, there's some sort of physics involved here as it depends on the direction of motion. For instance, the new generation of steering of large Cruise Lines ship for instance and Ferry's use either Water Jet (like the jet ski) or Screw (nautical propeller) propulsion at the front, mid section and rear.
