is it possible to make sharp wind that can cut stuff from afar?












1












$begingroup$


you know the typical wind slash in anime or game where the swordsman slash from affar and the wind pressure or projectile cut the opponent like in this image for example.



now i wonder are this scientifically possible, or is there a solution for it like what mechanism for the sword or weapon shape to achieve such state, or how much strength or speed the person need to swing his arm to manage so (i know normal human wont reach it or his hand or body will rip apart just by common sense alone), or the side effect to it, or what the wind cut/slash would look like?



i know there some recent similar question like Fencing style for blades that can attack from a distance but he mostly asking for the martial art not how to achieve such projection.

            Just to add to your answer, a sand blaster type weapon could easily harm someone in armour if pointed at their helmet. It would go in between the gaps in the eye slits if they were wearing a closed face helmet. I know that i, for one, would not want highly pressurised sand fired into my eyes. If they were in an open face helmet... yeah, i dont think they are going to have a good time at all. If you used metal fillings instead, it might cause lacerations or if you used a powder it could cause someone to choke as they inhaled it.

            well this is just quriousity how to make wind cut/slash posible not the practicality or alternative although the wind contain sand or other substance that can make it happen is aceptable to me, but unfortunately i consider water jet is an alternative not really wind base except maybe if the water vapour or the subtance can do such reaction, and at least i think for melee weapon it can be a surprise attack against opponent that stay out of range of the melee weapon. besides i can just make the world dont have gun or long range weapon because of tradition.

          A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

          Image
          0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...

          Calculate evaluation metrics using cross_val_predict sklearn

          Image
          1 In the sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict page it is stated: Generate cross-validated estimates for each input data point. It is not appropriate to pass these predictions into an evaluation metric. Can someone explain what does it mean? If this gives estimate of Y (y prediction) for every Y (true Y), why can't I calculate metrics such as RMSE or coefficient of determination using these results? python scikit-learn cross-validation share | improve this question edited Nov 28 '18 at 17:52 desertnaut 20.3k 7 43 79 ...
