Can it be done? I think not. I don't have a worthy question. Anybody think they can stump the great Feyd??

I think the world would stop spinning and perhaps the skies would ignite.

Sure.. no one knows everything. I've had problems that feyd has gotten stumped on along with multiple other people that still have not been solved to this day. But I'll give it another shot:


Feyd ~ without cheating and trying it, what would happen if you put a slinky on an escalator??!?



- or -

what would happen if you tried to take an airplane off on a giant treadmill moving in the opposite direction of the planes movement?

That is a really cool question! I am pretty sure I know the answer but I don't want to spoil it or speculate so I won't say anything, but jshpro2, do you have any more questions like that?

It would move along it the same way it would move along a road :?

Better - what would happen if a jumbo jet tried to take off into a 180mph headwind?

It wouldn't. Airports are closed during hurricanes.

Oh yeah, but having a giant treadmill - no-one points that out, huh? ;)

Anyway, it would actually just go straight up without moving forward. Neat, eh?

It would just remain stationary relative go the ground below the treadmill. There would be no airflow over the wings at all so it would be the same thing as basically driving your car on it.

Regarding the 180mph headwinds, isn't that similar to those wind tunnels? Its an elongated room that moves air from one end to the other and the plane flies against the wind "hovering" there (but due to the theory of relativity its really moving relative to the air around it). They use this to test how aerodynamic the planes are and such.
