    Catenary and coiled rope - for dummies.

    That makes sense! and yes it is the type of coiling being discussed. But let me ask ... The catenary curve described by the rope will "strengthen the system"? Or bigger the distance between boat and pole stronger is the effect? Can we take maximise ropes strength with larger distance...

    Catenary and coiled rope - for dummies.

    ok! thanks a lot for your help! i will do better than refrase it, i will draw something to express what i talking about. i wil now check the link you kindly propose.

    Catenary and coiled rope - for dummies.

    i wil try to refrase it later. But my main concern is about the geometry of the rope which will result in exploring is strength. 1- catenary 2- the way the rope is coiled aloes a single man hold a heavy boat. I hope this clarifies

    Net to Catch a Butterfly: Creating Strong Material for Humans

    tekenidiver - great contibution! 1) egg geometry i have think in it a lot! what about a geodesic basic structre? 2) don´t thing how much, just think in shape and its behavior. 3) about the material i thought a Kevlar (insisting in textile) skin with interior with mass which will absorb the...

    Catenary and coiled rope - for dummies.

    situation: boat moored at the dock fact (so to say) 1 - why the longer the rope and his catenary shape the stronger it will become? assuming it is true. fact 2 - why a man can keep a heavy boat stopped with just a coiled rope in the mooring? ps..if there's a better place to put the thread...

    Net to Catch a Butterfly: Creating Strong Material for Humans

    danger, thank you for you reply! Do you thing we can discuss the object here, or should i move to other kind of forum...or perhaps there is a place in this forum more appropriate??

    Net to Catch a Butterfly: Creating Strong Material for Humans

    well, i guess i put everything in "wrong words". Basicaly what I'm trying to imagine is a ""box"" where someone may be living or just passing trough when suddenly it is hitted by a very heavy and strong object which inevitably will kill the "someone". how shold the ""box"" react? if it has...

    Net to Catch a Butterfly: Creating Strong Material for Humans

    really strong stuff... imagine that someone wants to understand how to create a material as strong, as flexibel as...a "net to catch a butterfly" but for humans...something that could balance the energy to grab a human evolving it without harm him, in few seconds an with great differences of...

    Is Time Travel Discussion Allowed in Physics Forums?

    i´m new in this fisics forum but, i would like tomake some questions about time travel...is there any specific place to put that kind of questions?
