The Lee-Tseung Lead Out Theory

[Top Gun]

If we can get more balls moving in the X direction, there will be less number of balls moving or colliding in the Y and Z directions.  For example, if there were 15 balls moving in the +X direction and if the remaining balls are equally distributed in the other 5 directions, the number of balls moving in the +Y direction is:
  (60 ? 15) / 5 = 9

If only 9 balls move or collide with the wall in the +Y direction, the pressure will be less than that compared with 10 balls.  This mental picture (Figure X) is easy to understand and explains why pressure in the directions perpendicular to motion can decrease

Perfect Moving Gas:
1.   Cube contains 60 moving balls
2.   All balls move with same molecular velocity
3.   15 balls collide with wall X1
4.   9 balls collide with each other wallFewer balls collide in Y direction and thus pressure Py is smaller.

Tseung used the above concept to explain why pressure of a moving gas in directions perpendicular to motion could be lower.  The Laws of Physics are not violated.  The new thing he proposed is that pressure should not be viewed as a simple scalar quantity.  It is also not the standard vector quantity with 3 directions.  It should have 6 directions in general (Px, P-x, Py, P-y, Pz, P-z).

Tseung also used this simple theory to explain Bernoulli?s principle and the Coanda effect.  The Coanda effect is the tendency of a moving gas to move parallel to the surface if the angle is not too sharp.  It can be used to enhance lift.

Tseung achieved the nickname of Flying Saucer Tseung because he started to apply his knowledge of physics on designing Flying Saucers.  Tseung assumed that a Flying Saucer could operate in space where there was no air.  The normal aerodynamics could not apply, as there was no air.  All changes in speed or direction needed to come from engine power.  At that time, the Harrier jet that could take off and land vertically was developed.  However, it still needed the oxygen in the air as part of the combustion process.  Tseung argued that a sideward thrust could provide the necessary centripetal force to turn the Flying Saucer sharply including 180 degree turns without lowering its speed.  The only problems at that time were fuel and engine power.  The problems were solved some 35 years later.  Tseung talked about this freely.  He had a chance to talk to a famous child actress Miss Fung Po Po in London (who is still famous in Hong Kong as a very matured actress).  Miss Fung wanted more education and envied those with good University Education.  Tseung was the opposite.  He adored the actresses in their ability to perform on stage and their confidence in daily conversations.  Miss Fung used the Flyng Saucer Tseung nickname and was very friendly.

The graduating students circulated the Kinetic Theory and the Flying Saucer papers and discussed heatedly amongst themselves.  The models were simple and obeyed the Laws of Physics.  However the project was just one of the requirements for graduation and most of the students focused back at their own assignments.  The professor was impressed and took Tseung to see the Head of the Physics Department. 

The Head of the Department was very encouraging.  He said, ?These are very innovative ideas.  However, they are still in their early infancy.  I strongly urge you to continue this line of research.?

Comments from the Editor and reviewers:

(a) The Kinetic Theory of Gases in Motion is just a mental picture.  In reality, the molecules travel in a much more random fashion.  However, one cannot visualize and deduce much from random pictures.  Tseung used that logical thinking from his Secondary School days to visualize an ordered picture.  Is this genius or is this just innovative thinking?

1.10  M.Sc. experience at Southampton University

Tseung applied for a MSc course in Aeronautics at Southampton University with a draft of his theory of kinetic theory of gases in motion and was accepted.  He had some financial help from his parents.  He found that he was still short of HK$20,000.  He had a good friend, the late Mr. Edward Lau, who taught him how to play Mahjong at the end of 10.  When they became Bridge partners, they were almost unbeatable.  Mr. Lau got his training as an accountant in England and went into the Stock Trading business with support from many wealthy businesspersons.  Mr. Lau once told Tseung that the Stock Trading in Hong Kong at that time (1970s) was like a casino controlled by the wealthy.  These wealthy were often known as crocodiles.  They just devoured the small fish.  However, if one knew how to play the game, one could win large sums of money.

Tseung called Mr. Lau for his advice to raise HK$20,000 from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.  Mr. Lau said, ?Since you are my good friend and your need for money is legitimate, I am going to help you this time.  I shall help you only once and never again.  You must promise not to play in the Stock Market any more.?  Tseung solemnly promised.  Mr. Lau then instructed Tseung to apply for the new issue of a stock.  Sure enough, Tseung got allocated the shares and promptly got the required HK$20,000 in profits.  That was a successful event but it also caused great pains to Tseung later in life.  He broke his promise of never playing in the Stock Market and lost much of his hard earned savings.  Greed and human emotions were great temptations.  Tseung was no Saint and fell prey to them.

When Tseung started his MSc training, he realized that it was half examinations and half thesis.  He lost no time in explaining his kinetic theory of gases in motion to his fellow students.  All were intrigued.  A few were already going for their PhD degree.  They discussed the primitive theory for weeks and realized that if Tseung were right, many of the accepted theories such the Bernoulli?s equation, the Von Karman vortex theory might have to be re-examined.  They then started approaching the professors one by one.  Many of the young professors started to question the validity of the established theories also.

Tseung became bold and started to outline the possible experiments that could validate his theory.  He reasoned that the weight of a solid could not change if one gave it a horizontal velocity.  If the solid acquired a velocity v, every molecule would acquire that velocity component.  However, when a gas acquired a velocity v, there was no requirement that every gas molecule acquires that velocity component.  More gas molecules could move in the direction of velocity v. 

He proposed to do the experiment to check the total weight of a toy helicopter and its container.  Assume that the total weight was W1 when stationary.  Would the weight change when the toy helicopter was hovering in the middle of the container?  In the early 1970s, such an experiment was not easy.  Tseung applied for funding through the University channels and approached many professors for support.  That caused a minor turbulence.

The Head of the Aeronautics Department called Tseung to his office and said, ?I understand that you have been approaching many different professors and discussed your primitive theory.  You even implied that the established Bernoulli?s equation, the Von Karman vortex theories might be wrong.  You even doubted the definition of pressure.  Pressure is a scalar quantity.  It has no directions.  You better spend your time learning what we are going to teach you.  Or you go on with your own ideas elsewhere.  Your application for funding has been rejected.?

It was a very painful blow to Tseung.  He could end up with no MSc degree; wasted years of family savings and went back to Hong Kong as a failure.  He surrendered.  He focused on the MSc material, especially the computer programs to apply the vortex theory to airfoils in proximity.  He never believed in the vortex theory but he got his MSc degree.  His wife and son joined him in Southampton.  His wife wanted him to get a PhD.  But Tseung decided otherwise.

Comments from the Editor and reviewers:

(a)   What would have happened if Tseung had insisted on his kinetic theory of gases in motion and did not get his MSc?  Could he have gotten support from elsewhere?  In the modern society of Hong Kong or China, will such innovative ideas be supported?

(b)   Tseung will get support now that he is famous.  Are there other unknown innovators with same or better innovativeness waiting to be discovered?  How can we identify them?

1.11 IQ tests and how to score perfect score

Tseung applied for jobs in the open market.  He learned computer programming in Fortran in his MSc course. The first company he applied to was IBM.  When he went for the Interview, many applicants already started on an IQ test.  The interviewer asked Tseung to join them.  Tseung did not know what was going on and spent much time reading through the whole examination material without writing anything.  Before he knew what he was supposed to do, time was up.  The interviewer then said to Tseung, ?According to this IQ test, you could not even have passes primary school.  Please go and do not come back again.?

Tseung was mad.  He always had a high regard of his intellect.  That was too much an insult to bear.  He spent the next few weeks at the University Library reading up IQ tests.  He read the theory behind the IQ test and the design of such tests.  He then did hundreds of such IQ tests.  He checked and analyzed every answer.  He walked, ate and dreamt IQ tests.  He then approached an employment agency.  The agency asked him to apply for a programmer job.  Sure enough, there was the IQ test. 

The next day, the agency called Tseung and said, ?You scored full marks. I shall refer you to a much higher paying job with some relevance to your training in aeronautics.?  The Company was a defense contractor.  Sure enough, there was the inevitable IQ test. 

The next day, the agency called Tseung again and said, ?The Company wanted to interview you.  You must be a genius.  Nobody scores full marks at two successive IO tests.?  Tseung never told the agency his hard work at the University Library.

The interview was very successful.  The interviewer asked some question on control theory and simulation.  Tseung spent months working on computer simulation of airflow on airfoils.  He could reply with ease and confidence.  Then the interviewer asked what Tseung wanted to do.  Tseung explained his Kinetic Theory of Gases in Motion and his concept of the Flying Saucer.  The supposed one-hour interview lasted over three hours.  The interviewer asked additional managers to come and listen to Tseung.  The Company offered Tseung a job related to missiles research but there was the requirement of security clearance.  The security clearance would take at least 9 months and Tseung could not left England during that period.

Tseung talked to the agency.  The agency said, ?I shall recommend you to a new start-up Company manufacturing mini-computers.  The name is Digital Equipment Corporation.  I have talked to them about you.  They are interest to have you even for a couple of months.?

Comments from the Editor and reviewers:

(a)   Can the IQ test identify a genius?  My gut feel is to compare that with the development of a basketball player.  One must be tall and strong to have a natural advantage.  The rest is proper training and environment.  Developing an innovator may be similar.

(b)   Tseung is no genius.  Any one of us could have conceived his theories.  His achievement was due to rejection and perspiration.  He used jeers and rejection as his motivation force.

Sorry, didn't want to disturb, I'm just a visitor in this thread. But I have to say: This thread is absolutely hilarious! Really fun to read 
How the non human devil always tries to dodge the questions of the unworthy human slime (other forum members), and always repeating the same over dozens of posts 
Really fun to read... You should make a book. Ah wait, but not about the theory, but about this funny conversation...
