This is the third of five posts answering that burning question (pun intended). So far we’ve learned that:
- Dragon flame heats a shield using convection and radiation (and probably some other stuff that we’re ignoring for now) - see Part 1.
- Convection probably dumps about 1,100 Watts of heat into the shield (at least at first) - see Part 2.
In this post we’ll talk about Watts, shields, and microwaves. Let’s get to it!
