Btw, we are f*cked. Like what worthwhile human endeavor is left if not the 'pursuit' of higher truths. Eat, shit, sleep shag, then the reaper's bag.

This assumes a fixed jet injection/intake vector... It's a floppy assumption at best, shaky at worst.

When ya hafta go.. Ya go.

Is gearing up or down, with a fixed power budget, a valid example in the strict sense? Genuinely asking.

No. A gear train is just a transfer of force/torque. It's analogous to a simple lever for rotational motion. Mechanical impedance is almost always referring to harmonic forces (think of spring systems and structural dynamics). Impedance in fluids also fall under mechanical impedance but it's usually classified separately as acoustic impedance.

I think what they're getting at, and is valid, is how the speed/torque relationship is similar to voltage/amperage. There's nuance which can separate those ideas.

That's a pretty decent example IMO.

Mnemonic devices. Oh, the privilege.

I too liked the detour about cheating.

Project Hail Mary rocks too.

Hi, ig?
