/sci/ - Science & Math

makes prerfect sense to me

The government doesn't want their troops to survive. That's why they haven't put magnets above their helmets.

I got some stuff you should read.

Sup.

lol it wouldn't work..........

genius!

>>1765412
You could disable the magnet at will or even reverse it.

>>1765409
tell me more

Mythbusters busted this myth.

I laughed.

But what stops it from attracting EVERY metal object in the area? You can't make it selectively attract bullets.

Also, I am willing to bet the Army has funded research of this nature.

OP is on to something

>>1765428
yeah but probably only the american army

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket-propelled_grenade

It's foolproof.

>>1765435
just use rubber RPG or it will stick to magnet and not explode

>>1765412

Sup.

I'm no genius, but I feel like bullets would travel too fast. If anything the magnet would draw the bullet towards your face.

Theoretically I suppose you could get a super strong magnet that could pull the bullet upwards as fast as it flies toward you, but that magnet would probably cause all sorts of problems with electrical equipment.

Also, the force of the bullet slamming into the magnet on your head would probably knock you over. I mean, I've never been shot but everyone who has says it knocks you on your ass.

>>1765431

I wouldn't put it past the Soviets either.

>>1765435
Why is the name of that article wrong, it even proves it wrong in the body.

MYTHBUSTERS TESTED IT

BRB guys me and a buddy are gonna try this real quick, I have a pretty big magnet I use for alerted traffic lights when Im riding my bike and it comes right off.

Well, every time a troop dies, the government gets to keep most of the money they would have paid them for, so they want them to die in action.

There was one leader who went against the governments' wishes and sought to place a magnet on every troops' head in a 5-year period.

His name was John F. Kennedy.

Think about it.

Bullets are made of lead, the jacketed versions used by most militaries (full metal jacket rounds) are almost never coated in an iron alloy like steel, it is usually copper or nickle, or a mixture. A magnet would have zero (0) effect on almost every bullet used by any military in the world.

>stick to magnet and not explode
Throw a magnet at your fridge.

It will absorb the impact!

>>1765459
Oh god thats why JFK was assinated

>>1765459

That's stupid.

If your soldiers have a better survivability rate then you need fewer soldiers, which in turn is cheaper...

Unless you're Soviet Russia, then you just bury your foes with the dead bodies of your comrades.

Would this work?

>>1765480

Yeah bro, except when you go and try to stop it.

>>1765459
Then why didn't he wear a magnet in Dallas?

>>1765497
this doesn't even make any fucking sense

>>1765480

wouldn't, like, the bar the magnet's attached to break before the car moved? inertia, mass, and all that

>>1765504

OR IT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD!

>>1765497

what powers wheel i dont

>>1765519
YOU JUST HAVE TO PUSH IT ONCE AND IT GOES FOREVER

>>1765519

The wheels are turned when the car moves forward because of the air blowing on the sail.

>>1765504

AND WHAT WERE THE WORDS OF GALILEO WHEN HE SAID THE EARTH REVOLVED AROUND THE SUN?

BLOOD ALONE TURNS THE WHEELS OF HISTORY!

>>1765497
FUCK YEAH FAN POWERED WHEEL

there's a law that perpetual energy can can continuously power a process forever; however, no process can make perpetual energy (which is what most troll pics depict) I think it was thermodynamics, not sure.

>>1765524

until friction slows it down

I just whipped this up.
If any of you steal this idea, I'll hunt you down.

>>1765538
BUT THE FAN COUNTERS THE FRICTION

>>1765541

>>1765541
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOD

>>1765544

which is powered by the wheel which is in contact with the road which results in friction

>>1765557
well what if you pushed it REALLY HARD

>>1765541

until the moon crashes intOH GOD YOU'VE KILLED US ALL

>>1765541
Why not just stick the pole into one of the earth's poles? The Earth's rotation will rotate the pole with it, and the pole in turn would turn the generator producing energy.

>>1765565

still friction. it would just take longer

>>1765588
okay is this better?

>>1765604
he can headbutt people with a tank i don't see the problem

>>1765601
But what powers the flamethrower?

>>1765647
the fan

DUH

>>1765647
Magnets

>>1765480

newton's 2nd and 3rd laws...
