      And then there is someone like me who wants both. The talking helps when doing research for creating fictional stories you want to keep at least somewhere in the laws of physics.

    Dropping Things from 4 Stories. It's so gratifying. And sciency!

    • @cortster12
      @cortster12 Před 9 lety

      ***** You obviously haven't been around the internet then. There are people who think logic and science are a conspiracy by the Lizard people in charge of the Illuminati. If people that gullible and unintelligent exist, why couldn't your comment be honest and actually written by a stupid person?
      That said, I actually did think you had a high probability of being sarcastic, but there is always that 1% chance you were actually an idiot.

    We actually discovered that we rarely need to go beyond 1000 fps. That and we happen to love the fidelity of 1080p. However 18,000 will be good for ballistics!

    Distort Pineapples actually have a terminal velocity of about 120mph. I'm a skydiver and pineapples actually fall as fast as humas do, which is about 120mph. You can actually see it in this video at 00:49 iloveskydiving.org/view/videos/throwback-thursday-dont-try-this-at-home/
    The Pineapple actually has quiet an aerodynamic shape like a waterdroplet, which makes it very stable and fast in freefall. Cheers
