I am making this (hopefully in the correct forum) because I started debating propulsion about objects and the like. The main two questions I want to have answered if at all possible are as follows:
How much pressure would be needed to send a person flying?
How much pressure is needed to shatter a bone, or at least crack it?
Examples to better explain the questions: (I will specify statistics like height, weight, and other factors)
* For sending a person flying, a person around 5'10", 154 lbs, with his arm outstretched to its full extent. from the point of an inch away from the palm, an explosion is created in that bit of air, like a jet engine, the outward facing force shoots away from the person, but there is an inward for like the jet engine, is actually a rocket. Like pressure pushes the rocket out the way it is pointed, but there is still force coming out the opposite way. For that opposite, excess force, what would the pressure have to be, to send the above stated man back about 10 feet. The excess force doesn't hit his entire body, it is centered on his palm, but still send him backwards.
* Same person, same outstretched arm, same variables, same thing happens, but what ends up happening to the bones in his arm leading to his shoulder blade specifically? To add onto that though as another side example, a new variable. The man's bones have the same density and strength as military grade steel, but are easier to warp with heat, and now, there is an extreme amount of heat involved (around 200 degrees Fahrenheit)
(This may sound like I am going to attempt to harm someone or myself by experimenting, I would like to clarify that that is not the case, I am just interested in this type of stuff from time to time)
