Here's an example of her ignorance: when driving in Mississippi (she was traveling for her work), she was given a speeding ticket.
She is fitted with turbine machinery intended to give a speed of 23 knots.
The ratio of 4L × log2(L) over NW × N × log2(N) gives a speed improvement ratio.
The engines were rated 13500 ihp and designed to give a speed of approximately 20 kn.
The propeller rotated at 76 rpm, giving a speed of about 11 kn.
The former replenishes energy, while the latter gives a speed boost without using up any energy.
There are also dash plates around the track that give a speed boost without using up any energy.
This gave a speed limit of, and creative solutions such as lowering height of the ballast by 20 cm.
The engine produced a total of 5772 ihp during Warriors sea trials on 1 April 1868 giving a speed of 14.08 kn under steam alone.
This steamship carried 1170 LT of coal, burned at 70 LT per day, giving a speed of 12 knot, fast for her day.
With N = 10000 and k = 10, this gives a speed up of 10, making the problem tractable.
