📢 Exciting News! 🚀 Our latest research paper on ten-pin bowling kinematics is now live! 📚
🎳 In this study, we delved into the world of elite ten-pin bowlers, examining their full-body kinematics and ground reaction forces during delivery. 🏅 Six talented male bowlers completed six sets of twelve strike attempts.
📈 The results show a significant decrease in ball release velocity (BRvel) over bouts (p < 0.001) and notable increases in dominant wrist and elbow flexion before BR (p < 0.001 and p = 0.004, respectively). During BR, we also observed heightened pronation of the dominant wrist (p = 0.034). These adjustments were crucial in adapting to the changing traction between the ball and lane, ultimately impacting BRvel.
👏 A big shoutout to Bo Eitel Seiferheld for his dedication in bringing this paper to life! 🙌 And also huge thanks to my other co-Authors: Mark de Zee, Jeppe Frost Andersen, Thorstein Brynildsen Østergaard, and Mathias Sønder krog

I am happy to announce that we will officially be holding our inaugural hybrids and liquids student rocketry competition in partnership with the Friends of Amateur Rocketry launch site in the Mojave Desert, California from June 5th to June 11th, 2024.
About the Friends of Amateur Rocketry - Oxidizers Uninhibited Tournament (FAR-OUT):
Instead of the traditional model of designing for a specific target apogee that the competition declares, collegiate student teams will design their rockets to be able to get as close as possible to a specific “contract apogee” that each team will set for itself. Teams are grouped for awards based on the contract apogee they are aiming for in their categories. The categories are defined as follows:
Group A or Beginner (5,000’-15,000’)
Group B or Intermediate (20,000’-40,000’)
Group C or Advanced (50,000’-110,000’)
Also non-scored exhibition flights will be allowed with a maximum altitude of up to 240,000 feet.
Categories A and B will require teams fall within the requirements of a class 2 FAA waiver, but category C will allow students to secure their own class 3 waiver no less than 90 days before competition.
Scoring is not split by motor type in this competition; all hybrid and liquid engines’ abilities to reach the target apogees that a team will set for themselves will be judged together. The competition will also have a poster and podium session component to display all of the unique design and manufacturing each team has worked on throughout the school year.
Applications will open late August and stay open on a rolling basis until November 1st. Full rules and requirements, as well as the application, volunteer opportunities, and the full press release can be found at faroutlaunch.org. For questions about the competition please email faroutcompetition@gmail.com.
We are so excited to be able to bring this to the greater rocketry community, and we hope that you join us on this wonderful journey!
HINT: OBSERVE AND THINK.
Is this what you might expect?
Do you play golf?
Even if you don't, you can still ponder.
Fantastic images, thanks Saman!

Just wanting to help, here are a couple of suggestions for such posts, or posts in general:
1) Always define acronyms on first pass:
Example: FPS (Frames Per Seconds)
Kinda neat to have the key letters aligned, capitalized.
2) Sig Figs = Significant Figures
For anyone, checkidy-check yourself: here the two speeds do not have the same number of digits.
The clearer the info, the better the message comes across.

🏌🏻♂️Impact at High Velocity: Golf Ball vs. Steel Plate ⛳️
Captured at an astonishing 70,000fps, this video reveals what happens when a golf ball, traveling at 150 miles per hour, collides with a steel plate. For a brief moment, the ball appears to change shape, morphing under the immense force before resiliently returning to its original form.
This slow-motion footage isn't just a spectacle; it's a fascinating insight into material deformation and physics in action. It shows the extraordinary properties of the objects we use in sports and the forces they can withstand.
Watch as science and sport collide – quite literally – and stay tuned for more slow-motion revelations!

Have you ever had a project in mind that you just had to chase but didn’t quite know where to start? Meet Tanish, a seventh grader with a budding interest in rocketry who was inspired by his future high school’s rocket club. Learn how Tanish built a rocket from scratch to prepare for the American Rocketry Challenge in this blog:

UC Santa Barbara alumni Bruce and Marie McFarland met while pursuing their degrees in mechanical engineering. After establishing careers in the aerospace industry and starting a family, they eventually turned their attention to their passion: surfing. Together, they developed American Wave Machines, technology that creates artificial waves and makes surfing more accessible globally. 🏄♀️🌊

Experiencing the Thrill of the Track with the Delage D12: A Fusion of Heritage and Futurism
In the world of hypercars, the resurrection of historic automotive names often sends waves of excitement through the community of enthusiasts and collectors. Delage, a celebrated name with roots deeply embedded in the early 20th-century luxury and motorsports scene, has made an electrifying comeback with the Delage D12, a machine that promises to redefine high-performance standards.
The moment you lay eyes on the D12, it captivates you. Its low, sweeping lines and aggressive aerodynamics draw direct inspiration from the pinnacle of motorsport - Formula 1. Every curve, edge, and angle of the bodywork has a purpose, masterfully crafted to harness the air around it, ensuring the car remains glued to the road, even at the most staggering speeds.
But it's not just the exterior that takes your breath away. Swing open the cockpit, and you'll find an interior that resonates with the heartbeats of both pilot and machine. The D12 features a unique tandem seating arrangement, positioning the passenger directly behind the driver, mimicking the adrenalizing experience of a fighter jet ride-along. Here, you're not just a driver; you are the pilot, with an array of high-tech controls at your fingertips, each designed to fine-tune this beast's roar and poise.
Under the sleek hood, the D12 houses a monstrous powertrain, marrying a robust internal combustion engine with the finesse of electric motors. This hybrid setup is no mere nod to environmental concerns; it's a statement of raw power and efficiency, propelling the D12 with more than 1000 horsepower. The acceleration? Phenomenal. The top speed? Awe-inspiring. The sound? Pure symphony to the ears of any motorsport aficionado.

I heard scientists developed a camera which is able to record with 70 trillion fps rate, by combining this ability and an apparatus which is able to send and receive very high wavelength photon beams, it's possible to capture a single isolated photon, that sounds great advance in the field of optic which always has been the concern of all giants of physics.
