Re: DARPA patent application
I just used this as a fun little bonus in my Principles of Engineering class. I had the kids figure out how far from the building the base would need to be & calculate the velocity of the projectile in ft/sec & MPH.
All I know is I don't want to be launced at that speed at the side of the building. I wouldn't need a bullet proof vest I would need bullet proof shorts.
