Subject: Re: Skipping Stones

From a physicist's standpoint:

"The Physics of Stone Skipping" by Lyderic Bocquet, American Journal of
Physics, Vol. 71, No. 2, February 2003

The author made this article available to those interested in the subject
by putting the article up on the web:

a. The following link will download a pdf file of the article (copy it into
URL field of your browser and press return):

b. An HTML version of the article (courtesy of Google) can be viewed at:

For the rest of us, there is:

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/01/0107_040108_stoneskipping.html

Where Bocquet breaks it down into plain English.

Enjoy.
