TITLE: Sailor NAME: P. R. McLain COUNTRY: US EMAIL: pegasusx@snet.net WEBPAGE: http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/3964/index.html TOPIC: Physics/Math COPYRIGHT: I submit to the standard Raytracing Competition Copyright JPGFILE: sailor.jpg RENDERER USED: PovWin3 TOOLS USED: Cadkey, Wcvt2Pov RENDER TIME: about 1 1/2 hrs HARDWARE USED: 486/80 mhz, 8 megs ram, Windows 3.14 w/32 bit upgrade IMAGE DESCPT : A solar sailor, sailing between a planet and it's satellite. Solar sailors use nothing but the pressure of photons on the sails for propulsion. (Action/Reaction) Description of how image was created: The ship was created in Cadkey and exported in dxf format, then translated to Pov using Wcvt2Pov. All textures and colors were created in Pov by me. COMMENT: Anything in the universe could be used to demonstrate physics, an apple falling, a sailing ship on the ocean, a shuttle launch, your car on the road, or just you walking. Even an object at rest is demonstrating physics. (An object at rest tends to stay at rest, unless acted upon by an outside force.) "Math is the key to the universe."
