Testing sonic booms on chickens.

Victim

In the first test, scientists set up a mobile boom generator and fired it in the direction of chicken eggs. After subjecting the unborn chicks to the boom, the team waited for the embryos to hatch - and found no discernable injury had been caused.

"The intention was to examine the startled reaction of living beings subjected to the boom," reveal the papers.

The second test took the team and their mobile boom generator into a barn of 2,800 broiler chickens.

Presumably standing at a safe distance, the team hit the button again and boomed the unsuspecting birds. The reaction, according to the report, was startling.

"It was characterised by sudden and complete immobility of all the chickens. There was a simultaneous cessation of all the cheeping for a maximum of 40 seconds - whereupon normal activity resumed.

I'd like to create a sonic boom in my neighboorhood. After putting plywood over my windows, what do I need to create the boom?

Remember the video of the chicken collection tool that picked up the chicken with a giant brush?

A whip.


The whip crack is a mini sonic boom.

Its the Doppler (sp?) effect. It is when there is a shift in frequency and wavelength on an object exceeding ~750mph. The wavefronts at the point of the object bunch-up until the breaking point.. then.. boom.

 

[chrisjor]

But did it affect the taste? Huh???? Did it?

Maybe the chickens tasted like beef after the boom!!!!

 

[Phuz]

hehehe..funny
