Arrange 30% from vertical ramp with CO2 powered 'shoe' (bracket type thingy) at base of ramp. Arrange shoe so that when triggered it moves up the ramp and is able to project 5kg mass object into ballistic trajectory to a height of about 1 metre above the top of the ramp Ensure that surface of ramp imparts consistent rotation to whatever object is impelled by the triggered shoe Remove head and place on shoe with neck end to one side of shoe Fire and video trajectory of head place head on shoe again with neck end on base of shoe Fire and video trajectory of head place head on shoe again with neck end facing upwards, i.e. at 180 degrees relative to previous Fire and video trajectory of head Replace head on neck and restore full neurological function etc. etc. etc. Use video recordings to determine the parabolic locus of the CoG of the head Oh bugger, you were talking about the brain, not the whole head. That complicates matters. Hang on I'll be back.
