Whoa Robert,
I realize that people where having fun crunching numbers with their physics
books, but I think you missed something. After 2 or 3 pages of physics and
mathematics each of those post ended with a simple one line equation. Some of
them even worked quite nicely.
I say let them play with their books as long as they can condense the nonsense
into simple equations. People who use the system don't need to know how it was
built, but some of us might like to know how the equations were derived.
BTW, do we have any consensous on engines yet?

See Ya in Shadows,

Perhaps I just got blown away by the three pages of algebra. I haven't
done physics since high school, and that was back when Reagan was
president, and I remember about as much as he does.

Can someone go through and post a summary of all of the current
suggestions? Not what we use to actually come up with them, but what the
actual ones are.

Also, did we have a way to compute engine power relative to NPUs?

What part? I'll be honest, I'm really really lost.
Where are we on the POA? :-)
