/sci/ - Science & Math

I did some research and discovered that /sci/ is the least fun messageboard on 4chan.

Posing a question like that is like having a picnic at the beach and being pissed when the seagulls show up.

You're actually surprised that a board full of aspies doesn't appreciate humor?

>not po
do you even science?

Having a sense of humor doesn't mean I'm going to laugh at something embarrassingly unfunny and inarticulate.

Well except maybe out of polite pity.

Well it seems we did not adequately answer your question.

Let's see here "super oxidizer hypergolic with everything" that would be chlorine trifluoride, but that seems a bit overkill and will mess up my calculations as far as energy density goes.

We'll use liquid oxygen for our schiavo rocket.

Given that the average cremation generates 200 kilowatts of waste heat for 80 minutes we get 960 MJ. An average female weighs 54 kilograms. So we get an energy density of 18 MJ per kilogram(not including oxygen of course)

Given that Schiavo weighed approximately 55 kilograms(the fuck did I find this?) we'll just use the 960 MJ.

Goddamn calculating oxygen requirements for this is looking to be pretty morbid business, I can't do it(I'm also feeling too lazy to treat it as a rocket), so I'm going to cheat and say we have a magical Schiavo powered space elevator so we don't have to take into account the mass of the oxygen or fuel.

So let's see:
KE=0.5* 20,000 kg*(3.0746 kilometers per second)^2= 94,531.6516 megajoules
Using a perfectly reasonable conversion efficiency of 50% we get 197 Schiavos.

I can't believe I just did this calculation.
