John Walker I pay, and I pay, and I pay, and I receive E-mails about new videos, but there are no new videos on your YouTube channel nor linked here. I'm outta here.

Maarten Daalder What is also amazing is that the Dragon capsule was sending telemetry after the breakup. It was suggested that if it had been the manned Dragon 2 capsule on top of the Falcon the humans inside could have opened the parachute and survive the explosion.

Michael Ottenweller you are beginning an epic journey. Flying is awesome - keep at it. you will have a blast. I started my private pilot training in 2007, now have about 800 hours. Wished I had done it when I was your age!

Dr. Richard Beekman It looks like all business! I lost a lot of people who drive those things. Enjoy and be very carefull.

Austin Burnham My dad had a pilot's license when I was a kid and I loved when he would take me flying in the Cessna. Definitely take your kids when you can!

Tibor Schiemann Guys, I know my comment is a bit late, but this rocked! Just the idea of producing two perfectly synced videos from both hemispheres is awesome, not even mentioning the perfect execution or fun you always manage to convey to your audience. I'm glad I'm supporting you - keep up the great work!

Geoffrey Lee That is incredible. Gives me so much more respect for archers.

A. Ron Carmichael This is MOSTLY correct. The failure to consider the lateral sliding of the bowstring OFF OF THE FINGERS, which determines which way the arrow is going to flex, and which way the back end of the arrow is going to MOVE, actually altering the initial trajectory (direction of travel) of the point of the arrow, is EVERYTHING about determining whether archer's paradox exists or not. With the compound bow demonstrated, the archer uses a mechanical release that completely ELIMINATES the lateral slide, thus at no point in the arrow release is the arrow aimed OFF of the target as it is when an archer is holding the string with fingers. The paradox is not that the arrow does not "hit" the riser, the paradox is that the arrow IS NEVER POINTED AT THE TARGET BY THE ARCHER WHEN AIMING through a sight. As far as "being smart enough to know which way the nodes are flexing so you can hit the aspirin, just move the archer back 4 feet, changing the distance so he (one of the world's most distinguished and excellent demonstration archers) has to completely readjust his aim. He can do it but it will take him some shots to home back in. THAT IS THE PARADOX: NOT THAT THE ARROW DOESN'T HIT THE RISER/BOW, BUT THAT THE ARROW SHOT IS STARTED OUT AIMED COMPLETELY TO THE SIDE OF THE TARGET, YET STRING SIDESLIP (from the fingertips) CAUSES IT TO BE POINTED DURING A FEW MILLISECONDS DIRECTLY AT THE TARGET. THAT is the paradox. That the shaft flexes in nodal behavior so that the nock and vanes avoid hitting the bow (which his large feathers do NOT do) is a function of TUNING, selecting the right spine as it relates to the archer's release technique, the weight of the bow, the point weight, even the nature of the limbs of the bow and the surface of the archer's finger tab.

Smarter Every Day At 2:45 Byron says "The first thing that happens is the arrow bends from the pressure of the string". He shows a lateral motion while explaining this.

A. Ron Carmichael oops, sorry - I just noticed, I am citation (9) in the wiki references he posted, which refers to something I first posted on a website I maintain, in 2001. http://www.texasarchery.org for more info (and hundreds of photo examples of archers' releases). Highspeed video examples on the TSAA facebook page as well, I think... 600fps and 1200fps examples. Ron

Deviant Ollam Destin, your family is terrific and we appreciate when you include them in little clips or other snippets that show your life at home. (BTW, a good friend of mine would love to drop you a line the next time she's back in Huntsville. She was Mechanical Aerospace at UA:H and instantly recognized your location and background in your earlier videos when we were watching them. She lives up in Philly near me now, but seeing shots of home in your material always brings a smile to her face. We wonder if you two knew some of the same people at work down there. When she was downsized from NASA is when she moved up here.)

Travis This video is Awesome! Started watching a couple of weeks ago after I saw the Backwards bike video. These 2 videos have me hooked and I really just want to say thanks for everything you do. I would also like to agree with Levi on everything he said. First time I got chill like that in awhile. Thanks

Nick Vahalik Really, really cool. This is a GREAT way of visualizing something that radio operators have to consider every day: VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio). With VSWR you're dealing with RF frequencies that are reflected back at a transmitter due to an impedance mismatch on an antenna at the end of a feed line. So instead of the power that should be going to your antenna that power (or some portion of it) comes right back at you, creating standing waves on the feed line like you see here in the video. Since AC power (really any frequency) can be shown as a vector, you can "do math" on them. In this scenario, you've got nulls in between two opposing vectors that are *in phase* and the peaks and valleys are added together and grow accordingly. In the radio world, you're dealing with kilo-volts being sent down a coax feed line and if you send down a kilovolt and let's say, 70% of that power is reflected back to you in-phase, those spikes can exceed the voltage rating of a cable. So instead of a drop of water exploding as in your video, this voltage spike can burn through your coax, cause fires, damage equipment, and otherwise ruin your day.

Weatherlawyer I have a difficult one for you I can't prove this is not just coincidence but when a weather system steps off the Eastern coast of North America A significant earthquake occurs in the Aleutians. This has a reciprocal that before a weather system arises a seiche is initiated in the ocean in which the next tropical storm will occur. The epicentre will be in the region where the storm peaks and lie on the storm track. As proof of this two or three related earthquakes always occur with the demise and a blocking Low will contain two or three parallel fronts. I only know for sure they occur with the North Atlantic but am pretty sure they do the same with the North Pacific. Could you twist the arm of some seismologist to see if they can follow this idea with whatever is required.

Earl D Yates Thanks Destin! While I hope that these Scientists are able to find a way to stop the spread of this disease, there are some far reaching implications. This is the first time that I've ever heard of a cancer that is contagious. If a strain of cancer can become communicable among Tasmanian Devils, there is a possibility that some strain of cancer could mutate and become contagious between humans. So, helping to find a cure for these rare critters may in turn, help to prevent a similar outbreak among the human species.
