I have something random to ask

[Logical Male]

Ok, it is very random. But I just realised, that if you hop, you actually travel faster than you do if you walk...But, do you lose enrgy quicker?

It's odd....

Discuss the topic please


(feel free to expirement with this theory, I did, I am quite confused about it :S)

[Niles Crane]

Wouldn't one actually travel slower by hopping given that you have to propel yourself into the air each 'step' you take? I imagine that it consumes much more energy but it's not a viable form of exercise.

[Logical Male]

Try it, I went from my room to the other side of my hous, I think it's like...20metres? not sure...hopping in about 10 seconds yet, walking...took me about 20....

It uses energy, but is faster. I was abit tired (not much) after hopping yet just fine after walking.

[Elric von Rabenfels]

This is reminding me of bunnyhopping in Unreal Tournement or Counterstrike

@LM

You must be a very slow walker then.

[Logical Male]

Lol, did you try it? It's interesting...

I would appreciate not being called LM please.

Logical will do.

And no, that is walking at average speed for me. I am younger so I take smaller steps...I guess it depends on your age? But try it anyway dorian...

Wow, 80 posts and he's already choosing his nickname.

Maybe you should have put this in the Athenaeum so all the scientific sorts could ... make fun of you.

I'll take a page out of Oblivion.

When you hop, your fatigue is lowered ... when you walk, it recovers more quickly.

[Niles Crane]

No, everyone would think me mad if I tried. But as I have a long stride, there is little need for hopping, even if it does make me go faster as your theory suggests.

There might be a free day this week to try it.

[Logical Male]

Lol, hopping uses more energy of course, but is it faster is what I am wondering...

And scorch, I am ashamed of you....QUICKER not more quickly.

Plus I am not choosing my nickname, I hate being called LM and the first time I saw dorian post it, it took me ages to figure out it was me

[Niles Crane]

@LM

I would have thought that 'more quickly' works better than 'more quicker'. Then again, I'm only sixteen. What do I know?

[Logical Male]

No I mean no 'more' at all, I meant JUST quicker.

And PLEASE PLEASE stop calling me LM T_T

[Elric von Rabenfels]

@Logical

Do you mean did I tried bunnyhopping in CS or UT? Or did you meant here, in reality?

[Niles Crane]

It's still a valid sentence.

Sure thing L.

Do you mean I tried bunnyhopping in CS or UT?

It's still slower in those games as well as in reality.

[Logical Male]

I mean in reality. Lol...L....is that me?

[Niles Crane]

Sure it is LM.

I did a quick Google and it appears that you haven't been quite clear on what sort of hopping this experiment involves.

[Logical Male]

Lol I just mean normal hopping. Jumping up on one leg, and landing on the same while travelling FORWARD.

The guy who did that site is sad

[boofhead]

I think it would pretty much even out if you did a physics equation.

It's like walking up a really steep hill to get to "X" height.

Or a low gradient easy walk up the same height.

Same energy is expended overall, but the former is quicker than the latter, and leaves you more tired.

NOT SO

I have a broken foot. I've spent the last week hopping, crutching and today I started walking

Walking > Crutches > Hopping.


Lies, I tell you, lies!

LM,

There's nothing wrong with saying "more quickly."

I'm moving this thread to the Athenaeum to give it a chance to get back on topic. If it continues down the spammy road it's currently on we'll close it. ~ Lord Gruffles
