Links between traumatic brain injury and ballistic pressure waves originating in the thoracic cavity and extremities
Amy Courtney, Michael Courtney
Identifying patients at risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is important because research suggests prophylactic treatments to reduce risk of long-term sequelae. Blast pressure wav…
Epistemological Distinctions Between Science and History
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
This article describes epistemological distinctions between science and history. Science investigates models of natural law using repeatable experiments as the ultimate arbiter. In…
The Ballistic Pressure Wave Theory of Handgun Bullet Incapacitation
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
This paper presents a summary of seven distinct chains of evidence, which, taken together, provide compelling support for the theory that a ballistic pressure wave radiating outwar…
Scientific Evidence for Hydrostatic Shock
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
This paper reviews the scientific support for a ballistic pressure wave radiating outward from a penetrating projectile and causing injury and incapacitation. This phenomenon is kn…
Sheep Collisions: the Good, the Bad, and the TBI
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
The title page of Chapter 9 in Fundamentals of Physics (Halliday, Resnick, and Walker, 8th Edition, p. 201) shows a dramatic photograph of two Big Horn sheep butting heads and prom…
An Acoustic Method for Determining Ballistic Coefficients
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
This paper presents a method for using a PC soundcard, microphone and a chronograph to determine bullet BC with an accuracy of 6%. This is useful when a second chronograph is unava…
