Well, if you thin towing is like pushing, that explains why pilot error is now responsible for the majority of crashes. It has fallen from 50%...

In the humberverse less than 50% is called a "majority". And somehow he can conclude that pushing is like towing.

Two engaged gears, counter-rotate. That is a fact.

In the humberverse the best way to put an exclamation point on a false statement is to follow it up with "that's a fact"
 
Keep it up. The more you do that, the more you expose the tin god.
As you know, I own you every time you try to do otherwise.

I think we established that for you a bag of hammers is "quite complex".
You wouldn't know, as you are incapable of seeing beyond the superficial.

You're only half right. The real truth is that humber will use your above logic to claim he's right. He's delusional-squared.
Like I said, your are half-baked. Square that, and you get even less.

We must notify all publishers of physics texts that the Earth's surface is the "proper" reference frame. This business of inertial frames and velocity being relative is so two-hours-ago! (and non-humberian).
No publication other than a fanzine is going to publish you. That is a fact.
Nothing wrong with equivlance of course, just the way you misconstrue it, and misapply it.

In order to "look it up" we'd need a dictionary from the humberverse. And I can only assume the text on the pages changes even as we read it. In our universe we establish and agree on consistent definitions - particularly in the field of science. We've done this even for "slip". You should learn a little about the "rolling constraint". You can "look it up" in one of our texts. You'll love them. The words just sit there on the page as you read. They don't even change from day to day!
You need a technical dictionary, and probably one dedicated to automotive engineering, not a speak 'n' spell.
It is a common expression, and essential to wheeled travel. Your remark has all the bluff of "given a belt of infinite length" and "boundary conditions" and other buzzwords, that rattle off your tongue, only to fall stillborn to the ground.


...and the speed of the cart.
Anybody can go to a hobby shop, buy some wheels and prop, and make it go quite fast in the wind. However, unless unlucky, they would not design it in such such a way that it would be most likely to suffer binding at the gears, as you have done.

idiocy
idiocy and completely contrary to observed fact.
idiocy mixed with arrogance.
delusional idiocy.
ironic idiocy
ludicrously optimistic delusional idiocy
intricate and delusional idiocy
Very bold to withdraw an offer that was never made, and could only be based on your delusions if it were.
If you were a bit taller, perhaps you could peek over the fence.

And the entire scientific community (in our universe) is quite sure this is nonsense.
You know that is true, as your attempts to brow-beat not only academics, but all who would contradict you. When that fails, and it does fail, you label them as idiots. Now it's your turn.

idiocy. Look up "fact".
Why, when I have you as a text-book example?

So there we have it. Nearly 100 pages of humberian idiocy. What a ride!
I think you will need to restock your bag of 'idiocy'. Like you, almost all used up in one post.

I see another interesting humberverse principle here. Depending on which side of the propshaft gear the axle gear is on, the propshaft could rotate either CW or CCW, given the same rotational direction of the axle. But either way would apparently be called "counter-rotating" in the humberverse.

You have a degree? In aeronautics? So you know of counter-rotating props?
Two engaged wheels counter-rotate.

Pretty bold stuff coming from the only person I know that has a 97 page thread dedicated entirely to his astonishing misunderstanding of basic physics.
 
Humber, are you now claiming that you are an accountant from the Netherlands?

No, I am claiming that I designed a 3-axis accelerometer, capable of detecting 0.1 degrees of inclination up to a working temperature of 160 degrees C.

Now, you can put away your manicured claws.

If the only thing i knew about a statement was that Humber had appended "That is a fact." to it. I would lay 10 to 1 that the statement is false.
 
No Mr Slumber,
Ahh... Cinderblock, again, this will be easy.

you were not right. You were wrong, and you fail to specify which mass you mean by "that mass" you also fail to recognize the actions, reactions and points of application of forces.
I was right. The mass is the air mass. Do you have another in mind?

It can take any amount of work to stay in place, or none at all.
Quite so, but one will process will fail if there is not enough energy to maintain it. So either way. the cart stays still on the belt, or fails to hold its place on the belt.

Did you eat your rabbit? She was your last hope.
You will need more than a rabbit's foot is you follow Spork down the long and tedious road to the vanishing point.
 
Could somebody please explain beveled gears to Humber (and maybe basic geometry too)? I don't have the patience.

Take the shaft attached to the bevel gear, and see if you can make it turn the same way as the crown. They counter-rotate, and so so their torques.

BTW, there is a means by which you can avoid running out of gas. Can anyone explain the dashboard to CORed? You will need crayons.

Actually I was, but only until the slack was taken up on the tow rope.
Make that two packs of crayons.

Even I took the friggin gears out, I couldn't make the wheels and the prop rotate in the same direction because the shafts are at a 90 degree angle to each other. They can't counter rotate and they can't rotate in the same direction because the shafts are not parallel.

The last time I ran out of gas was something like 25 or 30 years ago, so I don't think I'm doing too badly. You can save your crayons for drawing pictures of bunnies that fail to prove what you think they prove.

The two shafts cunterotate Captain. When one moves one way, the other moves in the opposite direction. That is quite comprehensible, as it always happens when two wheels are engaged, for example.

I don't "Thin" any such thing- It's you saying wheels can't work by pulling.

Two things can't "Cunterrotate" if they are 90deg to each other, now can they....

Or perhaps "Cunterrotating" is the name of a Dutch film you've seen....

Actually, it's a trick that Humber's favorite window girl in the Amsterdam Red Light District does. I think it involves a ceiling fan.

Despite being less (after training, alcohol testing and of course, more automisation) the error rate has fallen to less than 50%, but it is still the single largest contributing factor.
Your numeracy needs some work

Actually it's definitive. Meaning that you would only make a fool of yourself by contradicting it.

See? Contra-rotation.

Congratulations. You've just proved that you don't know what "counter-rotate" (or "contra-rotate") means.

The Red light District is quite fun. Do you know what that is?
I have been there many times, suggesting that the spelling mistake may not be quite so innocent..

The torques are in opposition. This is the basis of
(a) The differential in your car
(b) The way reverse gear (th' towin' one to you) works.

The shafts have opposing torques. You had better hope that is so, or the cart would not work in wind.
