This book explains in detail how to make a paint ball fly straighter using boundary layer theory.
This document was originally written in July 1, 1990 after an exhaustive research on improving the trajectory of paintballs, to make them fly straighter.
This research was performed prior to starting a position, as a Software Developer with a major corporation is sunny South Florida.
A colleague who was a paintball enthusiast and wanted to capitalize on the upcoming trend and design a paintball that would fly better, approached me. Through discussions of how a golf ball is dimpled to improve it's flight trajectory, the same idea is desired to be applied to paint balls.
The research was both interesting and challenging especially since I have a background in Electrical Engineering and the topics were mechanical in nature. Many endless hours in the library (pre-internet) were spent reading and more reading to understand the concepts to adequately provide the desired results.
I now released my findings 23 years later for others and future generations to benefit from my research.
The material covered in this paper can help unlock the understanding for future technologies to be realized such as hover boards (and other ground effect vehicles), long distance space travel (and the secrets of Warp speed), improving efficiency on transportation, the list is endless.
Includes C programming source code and original handwritten notes.
