What would the military usage case be of a ship propulsion system that could go faster than the theoretical maximum limit of 21724.406 knots or (alternatively if that's too big a number to comprehend) reliably break the sound barrier over water without breaking the ship?
>>64875663You couldn't. One wave would crumple the bow. Water doesn't compress.
>>64875666What if you used supercavitation?
>>64875672The amount of energy you're talking about, why would you even want it on the water? There's absolutely no point.
>>64875663Feels like it'd be a pretty effective way to generate a fog screen, given what would happen to the water around it. As well as all marine life in a several mile radius.
>>64875663I for one would advocate for supersonic ground effect fighters
>>64875663>Transknot
>>64875666>water doesn't compressLol.
>>64875663Shell gasoline is what I use in my Civic. Works pretty good to Mack 4.3.
>>64875663Scotty will just sneak in and disable it.
>>64876134Transexual furries?
>>64876134owo
>>64876220Not in a conventional sense. You could, in a controlled vessel capable of withstanding infinite force, end up with a phase 4 solid (not ice), and then keep going until it turns into a neutron star.
>>64875663pretty sure water is like concrete at that speed
>>64877654the guy is talking about 21,000 knotsso i laughed when one of the replies was "water doesn't compress"at that kind of force involved there is most certainly compression/decompression effects going on, effects which absolutely need to be accounted for in the vessel design
>>64878911To figure out what the blast radius is or to determine how large the detectable debris field will be?
>>64877217I was thinking dog fucking trannies personally
>>64875666What about a hydrofoil?
>>64875663Yea, at that point you need a few terrawatts of power to actually push the ship through the water, not taking into consideration the actual stress on the hull.At that speed we need to either leave the water, or add a fusion powered blowtorch to the bow that vaporizes the water as you push through.Or make it a gigantic seaplane powered by refined autism and a portal to the demon dimension.
>>64880375At that point, why not a ekranoplan? Technically they're boats, not airplanes.
>>64875663I would supercavitate with sound waves so it floats in a non-water channel where no water would go. A waterless void. Sans water. An-hydrous. With sound. Audio waves. And if they themselves are sound waves that transcend the speed of sound they compress into Soundium metal! Soundium cavitation effect WOW! JESUS FUCKIN WHOA!!!! Keanu Reeves can't beleive it but Oprah can!!!And it floats so, fuckin good luck with torpedoes since they have to go in water. JEsus the pills. And so in would not trans-knot it would hyper-knot by induction or whatever. Whatever it is we're doin it. God loves ya pal. It's certainly the thing to do! By the way you're on the no fly list ha-ha!
>>64875663The only way to get fast in water is supercavitation while submerged and even then you are going to be limited to ~90% speed of sound in the air you are traveling in because any functional low speed hydrodynamic geometery is going to be terrible supersonic aerodynamic geometry.If you really want to go fast make a seaplane / ekranoplan.
>>64883955can't use sound waves if you are going faster than the speed of sound, you have to use light waves, you have to burn a tunnel through the ocean with a lazer
>>64883641imagine hitting a pelican at Mach1+
>>64884041Retard-kun it would be the sound speed but your speed too so the previous speed to get to sound speed eans sound speed square so hypersanic. I can't do all the math for you because fukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkking keyboard doesn't have all the stuff on it so I don't they build it that way. Probably because they're cheap rice fucks. Sanyo motherfucker idk it glows a lot I got it at the dollar general by me. They have a lot ogf the shitty glowing computer stuff so if you get made it's okay if it breakes.
>>64884041ANON! If you use a laser to burn an ocean tunnel and it crosses a Ley Line (you know it will), they will all erupt with psionic and magic energy and bring forth legendary creatures and beings who have made mechs and vibro-swords.
>>64884046Stop. I can only get so erect.
>>64884041Well technically you would be using soundwaves moving in water to create a void (somehow) and then you're traveling through air which has a slower speed of sound.>but how do you get the soundwaves into the water when you are displacing it in front of youYea I don't know.>>64883955>>64884101Blessed strokeposter.
>>64875663What do you think would happen to a fighter if you flew it into the ocean at Mach 1?There is your answer.
>>64875700Yes, just to see if we can.Open cycle nuclear hydrojet with supercavitation capability.It must be done.
>>64875663hurr durr lets counter water AND air resistance instead of just air OR waterOP....
