Faster than the Speed of Light

the ultimate Tuning Trick



Image 1

The first image shows our testing ground, a beach. At this time, the waves are flowing parallel to the shore. The red spot indicates the point, where the edge of the wave touches the beach. Attach your car onto this point, using at least 4 large screws (e.g. metric M16). If the wave runs along the beach wit Vw = 10 m/sec, our speedometer will show...well? Right! 36 km/h, since 10 m/sec are 36 km/h.

Next step: The wave hits the beach with an angle of 45°. Now the calulation of the speed a bit harder. The angle between the wave-front and the shore is also 45°, we will call that angle 'µ' . Using simple trigonometry, we get a formula for the speed of the red point Vp like this:
Vp*sin(µ) = Vw
meaning
Vp=Vw/sin(µ)
Therefore, if the speed Vw of the wave-front is 10m/sec, and the angle µ equals 45 degrees, the red spot reaches a speed Vp of 14,14 m/sec., thats 50,9 km/h.

Now please disconnect the rod to the needle of the speedomenter, it might break otherwise during our next experiments. It is also recommended to check the connection between the red point and the car before starting again. We will increase the angle of the waves close to being perpendicular, meaning very small values of µ.
The following speeds can be measured:

Vw [m/sec] µ[°] Vp[m/sec] Vp[km/h]
10 10 57,58 207,3
10 1 573,00 2062,8
10 0,1 5729,58 20.626,5
10 0,01 57295,79206.264,8
