Is this is what happens when you don't assume a spherical cow?

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago

I thought you're supposed to assume a vacuum.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Assume both otherwise we have to face center of gravity issues.

Maybe let the cow be a point mass?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

That does tend to simplify the aerodynamics modeling

[-] [email protected] 28 points 3 days ago

they forgot to model the ~~aero~~methane-spike from the cow fart.

I mean it definitely reduces over all drag.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago

If we install a nozzle with a check valve leaving the methane out but no flames in, we could build pulse jet driven bionic cows.

This wouldn’t change the aerodynamics at all but definitely increase the cows speed and reduce the global warming effect a bit

Not sure if this is [email protected] or [email protected]. Maybe a bit of both.

Thanks. If anyone in the future asks my opinion regarding breast size, I can safely say that a preliminary study has shown that, aerodynamically speaking, it is better to have large breasts.

Only if you’re facing the wind directly. In other orientations it may not be ideal. The analysis appears incomplete.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Allright, another qualifier to my statement it is. 😅

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

This is fantastic, lol

[-] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

Calculations are simpler if …….. you assume a spherical cow!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

That is an assumption that a physicist would do.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Cows can only be assumed to be spherical for thermodynamic purposes.

As they say, knowledge is power, France is bacon.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

This is udderly ridiculous

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

France is Bacon

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Makes it look like this cow is speedy as fuck

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

i need to know its power level.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Is its drag coefficient better than a modern day SUV's?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Everything is better than modern day SUVs

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

It's fuel efficiency sure is.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Definitely better than a Jeep Wrangler.

"Against the twister, Betsy stands alone."

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

But is it more aerodynamic than a brick?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

"...and at the quarter turn, odds fav Merry Bell is running a full length behind Morning Milk. Morning Milk won the Nickel Pasture Jaunt last week..."

Turbulence in da ass

This is why my plan to put wings and a rocket on a cow actually made sense!

Take that, you luddite aspca goons! That cow would have revolutionized human travel!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

It helps you aim when you decide to pull a Genghis Khan and launch them from catapults at your enemies

Fetchez la vache!

Mmmm, yes; science is most excellent: Ballistic Beef™

I know what to do with this information!

Rotate it in my mind. It’s free. No one can stop me.

You are steered for takeoff.

Will this increase the quality of our weather and climate models?
