How Electricity Actually Works

deludedaudiophile "I have a PhD (yes really - feel free to test me) in solid-state physics, have worked extensively in semiconductor processing"

This is quite funny and amusing and a frequent, common, and typical response that reflects your youth and inexperience so I will help you. While you were waving your degree that you claim to have you completely, entirely, aand totally failed to see that you’d already flunked the test. The proper aanswer was to show that you can think, reason, and apply logic not touting a a degree.

"I have refrained from stating my full qualifications as for the most part, they are not relevant"

You have stated you’re qualifications here on many, multiple, repeated occasions just as you did here.

deludedaudiophile "The Vector math explanation YOU gave is wrong. They definitely did not say what you said. The vector has effect, but that is it. It does not define the speed. It is akin to angle of attack. However, the primary force is Bernoulli effect.

This is false and in error and reflects a misunderstanding of the physics involved perhaps the cause of which is you’re overestimation of the knowledge you claim to have attained from pursuing you’re advanced degrees and experience in battery sales.

You will need to go back and work the math while consulting more advanced physics reference materials and perhaps the assistance of an experienced physicist.
