Does anyone know the exact formulas used for this calculator? http://www.geoffrey-kolbe.com/drag.htm
I want to know if I can find them so that I can play around with complex numbers and see what I get.

If we did, dont you think we would be doing the same thing?


What sort of numbers are you trying to play with?

[Assorted Sucrose-Based Lifeforms]

Considering an underslung, soft-launch, guided-missile launcher using a projectile similar in shape and size to this.
What sort of guidance could I fit in it, and would it even be useful for anything at all?

Complex numbers. You know, these things.

A complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is the imaginary unit, which satisfies the equation i² = −1

I am convinced that complex number geometry is the key to future ballistics.

I can't be arsed to adjusts Paint's colours.

Nice. They look good, just was slightly shocked at the colors.



*EDIT*

Just do what I do, find a color pallet online and go from there.

If you're talking getting colours, InstantEyeDropper is a good tool to use. You can grab the colour code from any pixel of any image with one click, very useful.

I borrowed Korva's template, so he did most work. And some of the Kour's rank insignia. I just created horrid colours.

Colors that would make my men run as if there were a Beer shortage.

If you want some different camo schemes I made this:

Credit goes to Milo something, can't remember and will have to search, thanks to the person and his helmet, he'll never see this (I think) but I honored the credit he asked for here.

That helmet he had worked wonders as a template for an ODST helm.

I believe Milosh--Andrich is probably who you're looking for.

Might be something for you PMT nations out there. Amorphous metal alloys.

Retoast. Amorphous metal is like glass, in that it has no crystal structure. It's cooled off too fast. This allows for some fairly unique things as far as springs and high-stress areas go.

Glass is the best shaped charge material FYI.
So DU glass.

When could you do this?

Vraag!

Would it be possible to do something like Halo's GUNGNIR helmet within the next two decades or so?

I'm on a bit of a space suit kick at the moment.

I guess one of the main issues with Gungnir is that it has to rely on sensors rather than actual vision. I'm not confident about the sort of FoV they'd offer, either.

In Halo: Reach, it looks like the Gungnir helmet's optical feed is mounted in a welder's mask-style blast shield that flips down over a conventional visor. It seems like you could flip the shield and sensor up and revert to the Mk.I eyeball as needed.

Admittedly, that's one of my favorite bits about it.

Don't ask.

According to some chap on a forum it may not bee too bad, depending on the type of camera used. Too, there'd be more than the one, at least on my version.

[Imperializt Russia]

GUNGNIR helmet, developed as part of Project GUNGNIR (the SPARTAN laser), was meant to protect the wearer from the blinding flash of what was supposed to be a ludicrously powerful energy weapon. And probably useful against the other two billion blinding energy flashes one would typically see in an hour's fighting with a large Covenant invasion.

I imagine that block is actually not moveable. I feel it may be so large because it relies entirely on sensors. And also to look cool.
