The fan was going 28 mph? Let’s throw a flux capacitor on that thing and see if we can give it another 60. Just think, we could send all our heat back or to the future.
When the mentors of Team 665 told their students they had no way to go to the World Championships the students had only one response, “Challenge Accepted.”
Captain, my initial tricorder scans indicate that this device is moving so quickly that it can phase between dimensions, resulting in the appearance of disappearance. However, I believe we can harness this technology to make entire robots disappear as well.
Mentor, thinking: If that’s how fast we need to rotate the fan to make it invisible, how fast would I need to be rotated, and could I manage it without getting sick?
I’ve heard people complaining about computer fans louder than that (note: it was the complaining that was loud, the fans themselves were actually quite reasonable in my opinion).
Ok, the first thought was “how much air can we push at ‘ludicrous speed’?” The second was “did anybody bother to check what the max RPM before destruction specification might be?” Once they had their empirical data then it was a matter of burning some chalk to arrive at an equation that could render “ludicrous speed” from prop length and pitch knowing CIM free speed. Still waiting for that to be published.
When is face protection not enough?
