9.30 am Portmagee waiting for the boats

we leave Portmagee at 11 ,around 12.20 pm we arrived on Skellig.15 miles trip.

Our boat was very slow.

Start

On  skipper meeting in Portmagee Tim who is the founder of the swim said: Luk you have to leading the firts swimmer,so I did. On west side of Skellig Rock is the narrow passage between the rocks.

We keep swimmers from the inside so they can choose swim route.

He was the leader from start to finish ,does not surprise me - hi crossed the english channel.

girls also swim ,well done !

arrived firts Brian O'shea time 34.44 sek.

congrats men !!!

I drive boat from Skellig down to Portmagee port, 16 miles crusing on Atlantic ocean - LOVE IT ! 

and relaxing kayaking and fishing :)

great time  I never forget this.

How much horsepower generates a kite

...during the jump of 12 m height of about 45 m away how many HP can generate a kite ?

in this video you can see that jump at 8:53 sek

             

I decided to asc Institute of Physics, Technical University in  Wroclaw

this is reply  :

Based on the data provided may attempt to estimate the following:

- Was Mr. thrown to a height h = 12 m,
Therefore it can be assumed that the potential energy you received
Ep = m g h = 10.2 kJ.

Assuming that all the energy gained through the work of the Lord lift (which is not true, because some kinetic energy you have used it, and partly - clearance of the wave), the work can be estimated at
W = Ep = 10.2 kJ.
Again, this is far simplification, because we omit the horizontal component of motion. It is difficult to estimate what was the change in horizontal speed.

Assuming that the erection lasted t = 2 s
You can calculate the average power during the climb:
P = W / t = 5.1 kW.
Which is approximately equal to the power of seven horses.

It is quite thick estimate, which may be subject to considerable uncertainty. I hope I helped a little.

Yours sincerely,

Karol Tarnowski



7 horse power in about 2 sek !!!

 that's powerfull :)
