Two days ago, I read a great post written by @fredrikaa , devoted to the application of satellites for counting the penguins in Antarctica. Link to this post can be found [here](https://steemit.com/science/@fredrikaa/cool-things-we-do-with-satellites-5-counting-penguins-in-antarctica), and I'm inviting you to read all the post for this series. He is working for [ESA](http://www.esa.int/ESA) (European NASA) and certainly deserves more followers. It gave me the inspiration to show you the funniest scientific paper ever written: # Pressures produced when penguins pooh—calculations on avian defaecation --------------------------- [Link](http://iposeogsekk.com/penguano.pdf) to the paper awarded by the igNobel Prize in 2005 in the field of fluid dynamics. During their visit to Antarctica, the researchers noted something remarkable. Penguins were able to shoot their ... you know what ... to surprisingly long distances. ![pingvini.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPkCUr9sUgEkiDm9fPTLN6HvoAFL95xBrjwP5C5Ema8yy/pingvini.jpg) If you like this fluffy stuff, you can buy one via [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Aurora-World-Destination-Nation-Penguin/dp/B009XTHOZS) ## How is that possible, and what is the pressure necessary to achieve this? ----------------------- The model of the penguin was constructed: ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYLiq7icsM9PZzJaH2DssYE7schiH9JPbRrMYdL7T13cw/image.png) and the pooh was defined as *"ideal, non-viscous fluid"* that leads us to this formula: ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRRzUwY8NoqBaJ7s5Yi7EcGCbs5rybd91BiokhAM8PWpW/image.png) Penguin's *you know what* was compared with the known fluids: ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRPigfnge4dJ7H54HmhudX6y87QQurVVR4TVK6yz26Kn1/image.png) After all the calculations were made, the final conclusion was: ## *We conclude that fully grown chinstrap and Adelie penguins generate pressures between 10 kPa (77 mmHg) and 60 kPa (450 mmHg) during the evacuation of their faeces on land.* I hope that the little bot will understand that this is the citation, not plagiarism. ## Who on Earth cares about the bird's pooh? ----------------------------------- Well, I met some colleagues in Hungary who know these scientists and they were called to do similar measurements in Canada and estimate if some electric lines were endangered. I apologize if this is not true, I heard this as an anecdote. By the way, Adelie penguins look like this: ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTgsWWasR7kPQ2mGr63cQkaBMyaRTQAJhfvKYYk6piR1Z/image.png) Very formal look, as any other penguin... Image is taken from Wiki ------------------------------ # Support SteemSTEM articles ## Let's try some bots (if they work...) ---------------------------- Hello @minnowsupport I think that this article deserves some support Cheers for @treeplanter make the Earth Green and Great again. (don't flag me anti-Trump people, I'm not good with the Eglish slogans)
