08.09.10: RE: Simply throwing off of cliff
Ah! Our Orville Brothers used the throwing-off-of-cliff technique to make the first popcorns, served with BBQ turtle wings! The air friction as the kernels accelerated in their downward fall caused water in each kernel to heat up and then POP!
But the popcorns were made soggy by the waters of Atlantic Ocean!
So, it was many more years before Orville Brothers' invention was made useful! They developed a bicycle-powered popcorn dryer, and that was a BIG DEAL! ... Except that it tended to fly up in air, lifted by its big fan-propeller, and crash! BIG PROBLEM!
But we have American Ingenuity! And know how to use a power ratchet!
... Problem BOLTED DOWN! HOORAYS!
