“We tested the aerodynamics of dogs in search of answers.”

“What was the question?”

“The results are that some dogs are very aerodynamic.”

“WHAT WAS THE QUESTION??”

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 1 day ago

The question was "who's a good dog?"

How much grant money can we get to test the aerodynamic nature of dogs.

How are mongolian dogs able to withstand the harsh mongolian steppe winds without falter ?

Possible applications in biomimetism :

  • building tanks and airplanes shaped like mongolian dogs for steppe warfare
  • ??..?

Even in the most basic research having an hypothesis is important, even just to say "I was completely wrong, but in the end extremely lucky and found something I didn't expect nobody cares about".

Hypothesis Aerodynamics experimentation does not damage internal organs of dogs.

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that wind tunnels are not dangerous to the well being of dogs. Such findings open new research opportunities in the field of dog aerodynamics.

If we move a dog up to 200 mph, they are very aerodynamically efficient

what dog is best for racing
