Today, for the finale of this 5-blog-series on dragon flame, we do things the old-fashioned way – experimentally.
No, I don’t have a full-size dragon, or a shield, or a knight… but I do have a kitchen torch, some pieces of sheet metal, and a Lego guy that my son tearfully sacrificed in the name of science. With some non-dimensionalization and slow-motion videoing, we can get a pretty good idea of whether all the mathing in the last post got us anywhere close to the right answer.
