The Heiwa Challenge

Heiwa:
When ships collide they are driven by very heavy engines normally located in the aft end. Collisions most often concern the forward end of one and the side of the other vehicle, where the structural damages take place, i.e. local structural elements fail. Same for a vertical drop collision.

Where DOES one start. Is the poor chap on drugs?

I really feel it is only fair, after chastising Heiwa's insanity, to amplify a bit.

Heiwa, get it through your skull that skyscrapers a quarter of a mile high are not ships. OK? Got that? Good.

The Heiwa Challenge allows any structure to participate. Just find one where C crushes A as per conditions and you are a winner. Do not be a whiner!
 
Bwahahaha! If bananaman can't understand the challenge, he shouldn't participate.;)
 
Funnily enough, Kreel, I do understand the challenge, which makes the whole thing more peculiar.

I thought you were supposed to be presenting a model that better explained things than the NIST report. I can't improve on that, can you? If you're going to shoot something down in flames you'd better have pretty good weaponry.

It's not my shout, Kreel, it's yours.

No, purpose of Challenge is to produce a structure C/A - not model - that behaves as NIST suggests, i.e. potential energy, PE, applied exceeds that structure's capability to absorb is as strain energy, SE, so that global collapse of the structure C/A ensues. It is part C that applies the PE, and part A that absorbs it as SE. Part C should be 1/10 or 1/6 of part A and the structure should be same in A and C.

I can evidently produce a structure that performs as NIST suggests, when C>A or C is stronger or heavier than A, but I cannot do it when C<1/6A and when C and A have equal strength (SE capability) and density.

Ultimate purpose is to show that the NIST report is simply wrong in its suggestion. Nothing wrong with a friendly and lively discussion about that, I assume!
 
Hiewa, if any of them can be bothered to do it again, I'll let the experts dissect your nonsense once more.

Not that you'll take a blind bit of notice.

My real curiosity is in why you do it. Why do you insist on repeating lies? I don't get it.

Bananaman.

Kreel, open your eyes.

Hiewa's tattered opinions should leave you embarrassed by their lack of truthfulness.

He's nothing short of a joke to the scientific community, those of them that have bothered to guffaw at his outpourings.

That's the truth. Try and understand that.

Bananaman (who is only trying to help).

This is a friendly and lively Challenge! Not a lying contests. No lies in the Challenge. If you consider it nonsense, just ignore the Challenge! Like NIST and Bazant & Co. I have asked them to produce their magic structure. They ignored it. I offered them $1M to prove their suggestions right. They ignored that too!

Let's get this straight. You have the money, right? We could do this in a court of law. That'd be fun. I could use a new couch.

That doesn't address the issue of scale. Think about it this way: If I throw a bullet at a watermelon, what happens? Now what happens when I fire a bullet at the same melon? Remember, the only difference in my example is scale.

Is scale important in the way physical reality operates, "heiwa," yes or no?

Hey Kreel, how come your hero can't answer these questions?

the heiwa "challenge" is independent of scale! Small or big!

That doesn't answer the questions, please try to remedy that:
