so we've undertaken a most satisfing test of the theory of phone aeordynamics.



tests: the cellular phone (phoneus notworkusverywellus), was hurled at a medium velocity, with a slight downward trajectory, the phone would then disassemble into its component parts. the parts were then found, measured for range, and then inspected for damage.



results: in our testing the distance of the peices, was related to the weight of the peices. the heaviest part, the battery, didnt land a measureable distance from the base trajectory. the lightest part, the sim card, managed a nintey degree trajectory, and went approximately ten (10) feet. we found this to be highly interesting as the distance of the throw was less than 10 (ten) feet.



all in all we feel the testing conclusive, it felt great to see that steaming pile of crap come apart

Ive found good results with them hitting a wall before leaving your hand.. t-mobile is replacing it under warranty now. So odd that the screen doesnt work suddenly? the kids in the kiosk couldnt explain why a phone would do that haha

I like seeing them get run over, especially when its someone else's phone. Kinda makes ya wonder how they'd explain that one? Umm, it just fell apart?

Thumbs down

ok here are my latest test results for phone areodynamics

(please do not attempt to reenact or try this at home with out proper supervision)



ok to test the areo dyanmics of the first gen apple iphone i went thru drastic measures, which i had to make a 2hr drive to the test spot (six flags great adventure) and then wait 3hrs on line to use the most extreme of conditions (kingda kah world fastest and tallest roller coaster, oh also used the front seats for optimum results)



now after to well worth wait i firmly planted my *** in the nice comfy bucket seat where i had then positioned my phone in my gym shorts pocket but to get further test results i firmly placed the phone and my pocket lining under my left leg. after feeling fairly comfortable with my phone position the ride started to slowly make its way to the launch site. where we sat for an additional 2 minutes and i rechecked all my stuff to be firmly locked in. ok i was ready for the experiment to begin had my hands raised in the air. BOOOOM 0-130mph in 3 seconds my cheeks got sucked back to my ears, resulting in massive drool down the side of my face and my eyes watering. once we had hit the bottom of the 40 story incline that is when the expeirment started. i had then felt my left leg slightly rise and had felt the slippery bastard of an iphone vacume luanched right the **** out of my pocket.



now this is where we get all the vaulible test data about the phones areodynamanics



the phone leaving a well positioned place in my pocket at the very front of the car at aprox. 130 mph at alittle bit more of a 45 degree angle at about the 10 story mark. now according to fabio the examiner of the phone on impact he said the aerodynamics of the iphone we amazing if not the best hes ever been hit with, due to the phone being almost flat w/ the upgraded black case and being quite light it moved at a underdetemind speeds meeting with fabios face but he was abled to determin the extent of the damage to the phone leaving him eyeless and extemely fucked up he quickly detemined that the suposed inpenitrable screen of the iphone shattered on impact leavin millions of peice of glass embeded in his face and the rest of the phone was distroyed making it unrecongnizable to the authrities.



now not getting a chance to speak with fabio about the results of the experiment was where thing got a little bit diffucult bc he was immediatly rushed to the hospital before a through interveiw but thanx to one of my accomplises i was abled to call the test iphone after the ride where i found the phone to no longer be on, like it was prior to the expeiriment, but the after a long day of line waiting i was abled to come home and thanx to Mr. Midas get the final results of the test from fabios medical examiners results can be found in the other thread



long story short fabio wont be doing any face modeling any time soon



special thanks to six flags for allowing me to cunduct this expeiriment

I can denote many grammatical errors with that but Fabio has millions of peice of glass embeded in his face.



I can laugh for hours about this but Fabio has millions of peice of glass embeded in his face.



I should be mature about this but Fabio has millions of peice of glass embeded in his face.



I could call up the authorities but F...I'm Canadian.

Stay tuned for another test involving cell phone aerodynamics... cell phone ballistics!

Cell phone out of a canon would be fun.

i have a minature cannon but the cell phones larger than it so i dont see that working to well unless ive repeated mikes methods first..

I thought this was going to be about leaving it on the roof of a car, similar to the "burgerdynamics" thread.
