#3This is exactly why I like hanging out with math & physics types. It has big "assuming a spherical, frictionless horse" energy.

#4"Mom, where are the hitters in the oven?"
"We call them heaters in that one case."

#5Chicken Gun:

I’m pretty sure NASA used a version of this to test the resiliency of the space shuttle tiles. Not fast enough to cook tho.

#6I don’t think I agree with the assertion that instantly bringing the chicken up to temp wouldn’t result in it being cooked. Especially since the classic solution got the chicken up to 400F. I don’t care how fast it cools off, if we assume magic uniform heat distribution from the slap, starting at 400 F, all the proteins are gonna be denatured and the diseases killed.

#7Chicken sized 74C object radiates at 2kW? Probably cools rather fast, but still feels like high number...
Energy in general really feels weird, when you look at the numbers. Like potential energy or kinetic on relatively low speeds... And then compared to chemical energy...
Edit: Also how do you get it there? Wouldn't you need to hit it with higher frequency to start with to get to temp?

#8Assuming an infinitely malleable chicken...
This reminds me of the old blacksmithing trick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I68Cik7ywg

#10You don’t have to hit a chicken hard to cook it you just shoot it at a wall.
