Not my figures. Credit for the maths and principles goes to the ancient Greeks and Archimedes. Credit for measuring a tin of beans and weighing it (on calibrated scales, no less) goes to one Mr Gludy

Re: Michael Caine and Gludy\'s dodgy maths
You asked for this.
You have now introduced the drag and hydrodyanmics of everything from baked beans to spanners.
Yes - last year i had you all buying flying anchors that do work by the way - however Neale reckons he has flying spanners! In fairness he does give us the make but not the model. There could have been a current flowing that made it look as if they were flying OR .... I need to ask questions ...
Neale how much had you had to drink before you chucked your can of beans lunch into the water?
Did the spanner just bolt away as it were?
Were there any nuts around?

Re: Michael Caine and Gludy\'s dodgy typing
Jeeeze Gludy! how are we supposed to process all this if the data is typo-ed?????
Ok, so the beans tin is indeed quite a bit denser than the peas tin. We'll all just have to come to terms with that sad fact. Neale is therefore more right than I gave him credit for - sorry Neale!
Turns out Neale has "flying" halfords spanners though, a bit like those anchors that fly away from the boat, allegedly, and indeed I recall Houghn recommends these anchors as quite excellent value and top quality kit. So Neale has introduced a new bit of info that was missing earlier from his MIT thesis, which is that his spanners have a "wing" effect in the water, which will of course slow down their descent
Cant really believe I'm reading all this!

Re: Michael Caine and Gludy\'s dodgy maths
Hold on a minute JFM, can you please tell the other forumites what qualifies you to pontificate on such a technical issue, making you sound like an expert in these matters? At least Gludy gave us an insight into his background, fishing hooks, lines and sinkers et al.

Spanner was an 11mm from this set:
There was no current as it was inside St Peter Port marina a low water.
I don't drink, hardly at all, ever.
The only nut around when the spanner went in was me.
You know, I was so surprised at the flying spanner, that i chucked another one in, 12mm this time I think, and it done the same.
No floating keyrings on them, I had to resort to a big magnet on the end of a piece of string.
So something else we have learnt today, if you drop an 11 or 12mm spanner, which is part of the set pictured above, into the water, you won't find it where it went in.

STOP PRESS! sad news (well for me at least!)
I just received a phone call from the Baker & McKenzie partner who spent the last days and nights on my project.
Unfortunately, he confirmed me that there is no chance to patent my new device.
Not enuff specific technicalities and/or applications apparently, pah! Lawyers...
...here is me with a brilliant idea potentially worth billions, which can't go anywhere just because everyone will be able to make one for themselves, as soon it'll be disclosed... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
All right, life must go on after all.
I'm still confident that this breakthrough device will be appreciated by the connoisseurs which populate this forum!
Is there anyone interested in making a pre-release quality check by chance?
Maybe there are suggestions which would be worth considering before the official launch, and since I can't get a patent for it, nobody else can, so what the heck!
I also made a chronological collection of all the claims I made in previous posts, for all those who were skeptical:
a device which I will confidently guarantee to work:
1) in any kind of water, depth and bottom (!);
2) regardless of the object weight, size and displacement (!!!);
3) immediately - no delay whatsoever;
And most importantly - believe it or not - a single device will work for ANY object onboard.
Estimated cost is in the same range of waterbuoy - maybe even less.
it won't even require a direct connection with the objects to be protected!!!
The device I'm working on requires no deployment, no maintenance, nothing.
Once properly installed on the boat, it'll work forever and with each and every sinkable object, either spread around the boat or brought onboard by anybody
guranteed to be effective also with an outboard
there will be just a very little room for improvement, but without any real R&D commitment, just a few selected experts' support maybe
I'll adjust my new device to be effective also with pudding
It'll be as effective in keeping pudding from sinking as it'll be with any heavier items
my device will handle also such ultra high density items, I promise
will be effective with beans and mushy peas as well

Re: Michael Caine and Gludy\'s dodgy maths
Oooer not sure which partic pontification you were referring to. If it was my allegation that the vol of a circ cylinder is Pi x radius squared x length, then you got me banged to rights, I have no qualifications in Greek. If it was my allegation that lifejacket labels actually say "Newtons" then you're right again, I'm not qualified becuase as stated on other threads I never wear one
But, since when did anyone round here need to know what they were talking about? We've got by perfectly well the last 8 years (jeeze, that's how long it's been...) without such a rule

Are we the survivors on this thread all nuts?
Did all the sane people leave the thread alone way back?
Some did say it was driving them round the bend - maybe it has but we do not know it because we have passed the bend?
Will Mapism ever reveal his new contraption?
I no longer know the answwers to any of these questions as i feel I am being out tenacitied by other with more tenacity ........

Hopefully, a side effect of my new device will be to bring back some sanity between us all, who knows?...

As well as the compliance with all my previous claims!
Here it goes, for those interested:
Just make a printout of this, stick it in a visible place on your boat and ask your guests to read it when boarding.
You'll be reasonably safe without bothering about floating devices.

what about these?
logically, reduced salt & sugar must skew the test results, no?

I venture to suggest that you are not quite correct in one important respect;
[ QUOTE ]
I mean a film (Blazing Saddles) has been made about the properties of baked beans but not one film to date about mushy peas (unless someone knows better).
[/ QUOTE ]
Whilst the campfire scene is indeed one of the highlights of the film, Mel Brooks interwove a complex series of strands to satirise the western movie genre.

ReWaterbuoygate
Waterbuoygate, the final chapter.
Lets face it, none of us have come out very well in this.
Me, I'd have bought one, then despite all the evidence would have been really surprised when it didn't work. I would of course, never, ever tell anyone.
Gludy who falsified test results and published incorrect data.
MBM for having a test that consisted of lobbing a tin of beans in a duckpond.
JFM for wading in all guns blazing, using Gludy's (as it turned out to be) incorrect data.
Mapism for talking the talk, but not walking the walk.
Nicho, for starting a thread which Gludy could really get his teeth into, let that be a lesson to you.
For all the other runners and riders, shame on you.
I think we have all bean taught a lesson and mush do better next time.
