Re: "Kilowatt-gram"

["Russell Levine" <cowtown@jps.net>]

: It's basically used as a figure of merit that characterizes the degree of
: facial distortion when subjected to extreme acceleration. You multiply
: the following three variables:
: 
: Cheek volume, m^3
: Dynamic viscosity of the tissue within the cheek, kg/(m*s)
: Surface tension of the surrounding skin (N/m)
: 
: The result is in the units of kW*gm. Exceeding the critical value (which
: depends on the individual) results in a RYFO event... Rips Your Face Off.

Actually, your description sounds like the definition of putting "tongue in
cheek" much too rapidly -- something more EV'ers should practice when they
get too serious!
