>>12906158>If you think all the air directly goes downwards and is 100% absorbed by the scale you're a complete retardYes, most of it will go to the sides, however that does not keep the fly in the air. Either it will dispersed asymmetrically causing the fly to fly to the sides, or it will symmetrically dispersed keeping the fly, (in regards to the x and z axis) in the same place. thus it is wasted energy. This means the fly will have to produce additional force until the downwards force = the weight of the fly.
maybe only 20% of the force is going down directly, however that 20% MUST equal the weight of the fly if it wants to stay in place. Engineers who work with aerodynamics (and fluid dynamics) takes this in account.
>Fluid dynamics are not that simpleit is, yet I'm right and you haven't made a point.
>It's not 1.0 kg, but it's not 1.5kg eitherit will fluctuate up and down but it will be 1.5kg on average.
>exact downward force caused by the flieshow do sideways forces keep you up?
>>12906178you're retarded too.
