Give it time. He'll end up hydroplaning into the wall eventually if he doesn't crack his engine block from water spray first.

Hydroplaning does not work like that! Goodnight!!


Yeah, it does. Hydroplaning is where your tire "floats" along the surface of the water on the road. Your tires no longer have any grip on the road. It gets you into a skid, which on wet pavement is unlikely to end well. Many people have hit walls and other objects due to hyrdroplaning.

I think you are mixing up hydroplaning and plowing. Plowing through a puddle merely slows you down, hydroplaning skips across the top of the puddle.

Go-fast boats are not small hydroplaning vessels. They have a standard V-hull design which using displacement to keep itself afloat. They simply use enormous amounts of power to muscle their way through the water; they have no specific design feature to reduce drag.

This will only work on nearly flat surfaces as well, not suitable for open ocean drug smuggling.

1. All those "go fast boats" are tiny in comparison to vessels used in naval combat.
2. They have a smaller displacement when moving quickly than when stationary -- i.e. they're hybrids, receiving a significant part of their lift from hydroplaning.

Go-fast/cigarette boats


Those are "small hydroplaning vessels".

For displacement hulls, drag due to wave-making increases precipitously around v = 5m^0.5/s * sqrt(length).

Vessels weighing tens of thousands of tons, such as aircraft carriers, cannot break that barrier.

There are displacement hulls, and there are hydroplaning hulls, and there are hybrids, but there is no third type of lift to take advantage of.

"That's somewhat faster than any naval fleets can travel. The only vessels that can go 45+ knots are small hydroplaning vessels. The titanic went a measly 23 knots."

...only true for wind-powered craft. Go-fast/cigarette boats go much faster, up to 80kts, for example.

Feel the music
Son, we got you programmed like a beat
When I press snare, yo, guard your grill
Press kick, you move your feet
You can’t compete
I got my hydrants parked on every street
I’m federal, nigga, son of sun
Come close and feel the heat
I am the streets
The white lines only separate me from me
You hydroplane in false gods name and still crash into me
Sign and tree, mountainside, guardrail, into the sea
They thought they stole you from my arms then carried you to me
Here’s the key
DNA encoded in a beat
White rocks in a vial, nigga, ain’t got nuthin’ on me
Bitch I’m free
Ask these editors at MTV
Far as they know they’re publishing some new school poetry
Let it be
‘Cause even that will do to turn the key
Doorways into other worlds
The truth shall set you free
You are me, I am you, but also I am he
Shepherd of a bastard flock that grazes in the streets
Feel the beat, nod your head
Lean back, yo, touch your feet
Let me see you pop that thang right there girl in your seat
Feel the heat
Count this page amongst your whitest sheets
Comfort in my every word
Slide under, countless sheep

Hail Mary, Mother of God
Got the whole host of angels shuffling in my iPod
Niggas learned to raise their voices when I lowered my rod
Staff of Moses, Pharaoh knows this
Son, my word is my bond
Tune my heart with mind
Speak my nature, divine
Callin' shit into existence back in '79
With the future in my pocket tightly gripped like a 9
Keep my finger on the trigger waiting for the right time
Ancient niggas align
Path of Cosmic Design
Blood of kings ‘cause Saturn’s rings don’t need no diamonds to shine
Yes, the reason for the season
Ornamented divine
Coded language of the mystics with my fist in the sky

Keep your head up
We represent The Real, my nigga, dead up
Book of the Dead, history bled
This nigga fed up
Led us to despair, some into prayer, and they won’t let up
until they got us worshipping them false gods instead of
The Realness
God of the streets, my niggas feel this
We nod our heads and worship through beats
Go ahead and kneel
It’s the love that makes the cipher complete
And it’d displayed through the way the bass line marries the beat

Hail Mary, Mother of God
Got the whole host of angels shuffling in my iPod
Niggas learned to raise their voices when I lowered my rod
Staff of Moses, Pharaoh knows this
Son, my word is my bond
Tune my heart with mind
Speak my nature, divine
Callin' shit into existence back in '79
With the future in my pocket tightly gripped like a 9
Keep my finger on the trigger waiting for the right time

Path of Cosmic Design
Blood of kings ‘cause Saturn’s rings don’t need no diamonds to shine

Keep your head up

I crack up when he mentions hydroplaning.
