Dunk Calculator - How High Do I Need to Jump to Dunk?
How the Dunk Calculator works:
Step 1:
Enter your standing reach. If you don't know your standing reach you can also use your height and the Dunk Calculator will estimate your standing reach using the standing reach calculator .
Step 2:
Put in how high you need to reach above the rim to be able to dunk. Six inches is the default value.
Step 3:
The vertical jump calculator will tell you the jump height you need to touch the rim, to dunk or throw down the Vince Carter 360° windmill.
Step 4:
Use the visual analysis graph and find out more about hang time, speed of dunk and take-off velocity
Let's get started:

Visual Analysis of Vertical Jump:
With this tool you can easily analyze vertical jumps of all heights! Check the height of the jumper at any point during the jump in the graph below and find out how much hang time you have at different jump heights.
You can also see how fast the takeoff velocity is , how quickly a jumper is high enough to dunk (speed of dunk) and how long he is high enough in the air to still dunk (effective hang time).

Interesting facts when analyzing Vertical Jumps :
When you are asking yourself: "How tall do I have to be to dunk?" - you are asking the wrong question! Wingspan is also very important as it is a big part of the standing reach.
If you have a vertical jump of 100cm you will be spending more than 50% of the hang time above 72cm. This explains why it oftens seams as if a jumper is "stopping" mid air.
If you can jump just high enough to squeeze in dunks right now, then an improvement of only a few inches can have a huge impact. For example if you need a jump height of 30 inches to dunk and you can jump exactly 30 inches you have an effective hang time of 0.39 seconds. This will be the fastest time in which you can complete a dunk. If you improve your vertical jump by only 2 inches your effective hangtime increases by 30% to 0.51 seconds giving you much more time in the air for stuff like windmills. The speed of the dunk becomes much faster as you can complete a dunk within 0.31 seconds making you much harder to block!
While small dunkers have to train a lot more to make a dunk they also have the advantage of great hang time.

UEFA Europa League | Windmills and Celtic.
Celtic is a windmill. It was in the British Isles in the Middle Ages that the trend was set for the use of this simple mechanism for grinding flour. On approaching Glasgow, when the snow-covered plain is left behind, the windmills are the first thing that appears on the ideally green surface. Nearby are small but graceful houses, remotely resembling castles. Mills have been in operation in Scotland since time immemorial, and conservative Brits will certainly continue to use them in the future. Regardless of technological progress. In much the same way, Celtic, a club to which more than one generation of Scots have come, will continue to work monotonously, but at the same time effectively. And they won't love him any less.
Celtic are small Scottish houses. Even in the center of Glasgow there are plenty of them. They ignore the shopping malls built nearby, flowing into skyscrapers. They live their lives despite the vast urban development in Glasgow. Celtic is unlikely to become a truly big club in the short term (if by this word we mean success in European competition). The grandiose season of 1967 was enough for him, when he demolished everyone around him and won the European Cup. After all, it was the first major victory in the history of British football. And now, when skyscrapers lined up around Celtic, in which sheikhs sign huge contracts with players and buy any clubs, the Celts remain a small but elegant and proud club with a great history.
— Oh, are you from Russia? Perhaps you came to the match? asked a man in his thirties at the border control. — I've been a fan of Celtic all my life, but, alas, it's pointless for us to compete with Russian money...
Scotland meets the correspondent of "Sports Day after Day" with the sun! Contrary to the forecast, there is no snow and it is quite warm, and the first customs officer turned out to be a Celtic fan. #celticzenit #eufa league #european league #zenith #celticzenit #scotlandsbeauty #scotland #scotland #beautifulscotland #sportdayback #sportsdaily #football #football

The very discussion of the football club at this moment looks ridiculous. A lot of policemen gathered at the small Glasgow airport, and behind me at passport control there were a couple of dozen people in line. Tried to cheer him up. He said that people play football, not bags filled with money. The customs officer smirked, “Welcome to Glasgow. To the city of one great club!”
Zenit has been little talked about in the local press. Yes, the Blue-White-Blues have excellent players, with whom it will be very difficult for the local guys. This has been known for a long time. Celtic head coach Brendan Rodgers will certainly say this during a press conference. On the one hand, it may seem that the "Celts" surrendered in advance. But this is the most erroneous theory. In a stadium filled with a crazy audience, they will fight not only for themselves, the coach and fans, but also for the entire glorious history of their club, which Zenit and the rest are very far from.
By the way, a year ago the St. Petersburg team already found itself in a similar situation, when it came to Belgium to beat Anderlecht as the undisputed favorite. At that time, few people took the local team seriously either: a modest budget, young players in the roster and an original culture. As a result, Zenit was eliminated following the results of a two-match confrontation (0:2, 3:1). Today, a team that bears little resemblance to the one a year ago will arrive in Glasgow. With a new head coach, who, by the way, met with Rodgers in the Premier League, and an almost new squad. And they need to understand that this Celtic is no less dangerous opponent than that Anderlecht. Despite what they say around.

Windmill: various facts
The landscape with windmills is more familiar to us on the canvases of European masters of painting of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Today, many working windmills can only be seen in the Netherlands. True, they do not grind flour at all, although there are some. They pump water from one canal to another. How was the windmill built? You can only see this in the Baltic States and the Netherlands themselves. The first thing to do to make it work well is to catch the wind. To do this, its roof was turned in the right direction with the help of a special wheel and lever. The wheel was just connected to the roof. When the roof reached the required position, the wheel was stopped with a special chain. Then a special brake was released, and the wings of the mill began to rotate, slowly at first, and then faster and faster. The shaft on which the wings were attached transmitted rotation to the main vertical axis through wooden gears.
Application.
Further, the design of the windmill could be different. With its help, they pumped out water, squeezed oil from seeds, even made paper with it and sawed wood, and, of course, ground flour. The flour mill did its job with the same stone millstones. With the advent of steam and other types of engines, it can be said to have lost its significance for industry. But in our time, when people are learning to save energy and nature, the windmill has been revived in a different capacity, as a cheap and environmentally friendly source of electricity. Hundreds of windmills, her great-grandchildren, operate in Holland, the Netherlands and Germany. In the US, Canada and Australia, remote farms are successfully using wind turbines to generate electricity for their homes and businesses.
Decorative element. Its construction.
Today, the windmill has gained popularity as a decorative element of homesteading. Make it easy. Such a mill, assembled with your own hands near a country house or cottage, will decorate any corner of the garden. Work begins with the manufacture of the foundation. A hole is dug to a depth of 70 cm, and a brick foundation is laid. From metal corners 50x50, a frame is welded in dimensions 80x120x270. The frame is sheathed with timber 40x40. It is possible to sheathe the construction on top with clapboard. The frame is installed on the foundation. The wood is coated on top with a protective impregnation in several layers. From the inside, the body is insulated with foam and plywood. Next up is the roof.
This explains why it oftens seams as if a jumper is "stopping" mid air.
