  Vibration-tolerant whip antenna - Patent 4567487
A whip antenna as claimed in claim 5 in which a vibration damper is disposed within the antenna tube near nodes of mechanical resonance.
The art of whip antenna construction is plagued with the problem of providing structures that are capable of withstanding mechanical vibration, especially forced and resonant or periodic vibration, produced by extreme environmental conditions and methods of use.
Since the primary effectiveness of the cord as a damper for the whip antenna results from the cord slapping against the transversely moving walls of the whip, the cord must be free to swing freely against the walls of the whip--also limiting operation to substantially vertical whip antenna orientation.

Since many whip artists are teachers too, they want to learn all they can and do as well as they can in each area of whip work so as to have a full background to pass along to their students.
Whip artists work in all types of venues and like their name implies, work to make the whip look smooth, graceful, and positive, always trying to impress the positive sides of whip handling to their audience.
A bullwhip is a whip that has a short handle (relative to its cousin the stock whip which has a very long handle), and the thong or body of the whip is braided into the handle in some way.

 Whip It by Devo Songfacts
In this case, we didn't originally have a video idea for 'Whip It,' and when people started thinking it was a song about whacking off or sadomasochism, we had these quack books that we would collect from junk stores or vintage magazine stores that served as inspiration or jokes.

 Leyland Gravity Whip - Ultronomicon
The Leyland Gravity Whip is a maneuver that can be performed in the vicinity of a gravity well, to increase the speed of a ship beyond its normal maximum.
At the moment the ship is closest to the gravity well, release the accelerator button (if you still had it pressed), and the gravity of the gravity well will "whip" or sling you.
Orz Space Marines are trained in the use of the Gravity Whip maneuver.

 History Of The Top by Valerie Oliver, Copyright Spintastics Skill Toys, Inc., 2002
The whip top has mostly kept to the basic cone shape and was made of wood, fired clay and, in some cases, stone.
The peg of the whip top was not stressed since the point did not have the wear from impact on it as with the peg top.
The parish top (a whip top) has been thought of not only to amuse or provide exercise, but also to keep behavior channeled appropriately or even to be used as a competitive sport between towns.

 Science Wire from the Exploratorium and Public Radio International
You didn’t need to whip out a calculator to figure out what was going to happen as you surfed—but there’s a great deal of physics behind riding a wave.
If the downward force of gravity and the upward force of buoyancy are in line, they add to zero and things are stable.
The surfboard rotates until the buoyancy force through the center of mass of the displaced water is aligned with the gravity force on the surfer.

 EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Could a whip be used to deal bludgeoning damage?
If you make a whip "twice the normal whip thickness, 10 times the weight, and had one steel ring around every one-inch segment" it wouldn't be flexible like a whip.
A whip, when used to cause injury (instead of to entangle) is actually a slashing weapon.
The vision I'm getting is of a hobgoblin character with very high strength imploying an overhand maneuver with the whip (a very heavy, steel reinforced whip) and thus utilizing gravity and the whip's weight to bring the thing down, crushing enemies.

 RedOrbit NEWS | Gravity is a Force to Be Reckoned With
Gravity is very much involved with those space trips, and I share with you some of my thoughts about it.
Newton's achievement was not somehow to discover something everyone already knew but rather to establish that the gravity that pulled the apple toward his head was a universal force that governed space and, in particular, our solar system.
Something is balancing the gravity pulling the moon to the Earth, and that balance is near perfect.

 Ice Crystal Slurry Tes System Using The Orbital Rod Evaporator   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
As shown in Figure 2, the effect of this rolling whip rod is to push a wave of fluid around the circumference of the tube.
Thus, the agitated flow generated by the rolling whip rod in the tube prevents the adhesion of ice crystals to the heat transfer surface.
Thus, the whip rod motion is inherently self-adjusting, minimizing wear and allowing relaxed tolerances (as opposed to tight tolerance bearings at each end of the evaporator tube).

 Re: Angular momentum
As a result of the angular motion when the system is released, the tip of the rod will accelerate faster than gravity.
But the whip is not ridgid like a rod, and it is not simply under the influance of gravity.
Also, the segments of the whip do not accelerate uniformly, this causes the whip to retard in such a way the the tip falls behind the midpoint in the whips trajectory (this is when tall towers begind to fall, they break apart).

 Mycon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As its main weapon it launches blueish-white spheres of "semi-sentient" plasma that homes in on the enemy, but starts to diminish and weaken over distance.
The plasma's rate of travel is low enough that the Mycon can actually kill themselves with poorly-judged firing during gravity whip manoeuvres, as the Podship swiftly overtakes and collides with the freshly-launched bolt.
Also, it is well-known among advanced pilots that skillful manoeuvring allows one to use the plasmoids against the podship itself.

 The Xerox Effect on the Importance of Pre-Biotic Evolution by Howard Bloom   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Gravity was the great aggregator, the great integrator, the great pattern-maker of inanimate sociality.
The carriers of the four forces (gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force, and the weak force) are hypothesized to be the gluon, the W and Z particles, and the graviton.
Technically, gravity played a role in the first inflationary flick of the cosmos' birth, but it was a massive repulsive force, not the great attractor we know today.

 Science & Technology at Scientific American.com: True Cause of Whip's Crack Uncovered   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Though by no means a master whip cracker, Alain Goriely of the University of Arizona was nonetheless intrigued by the phenomenon and set out to study it at a theoretical level.
Previous whip work (one of just three papers on the subject in the past century) had resulted in the puzzling observation that the sonic boom occurs when the tip of the whip is traveling at about twice the speed of sound.
Although the whip's tip has lost the distinction of being the source of the menacing crack, it is still a force to be reckoned with: according to Goriely's calculations, "the tip can reach speeds more than 30 times the initial speed [of the whip]." --Sarah Graham

The more energy you use to whip the rope, the bigger the waves in it, and the two ends of the rope move closer together.

But it is rather massive, and is greatly accelerated by a gravity whip maneuver.
The Intruder is fitted with a unique warp system that enables it to warp in fairly close to an enemy ship.
A popular (and effective) tactic with the Intruder is to assume a standoff position and coat the enemy ship with so many limpets that it is effectively immobile, then close in from behind and finish them off.
