I believe this to be the same Blow Calibration Experiment that was created by

Pieter van Doorn of Nant-y-Derwidden which was set up at many events in Black
Diamond and other southerly events in Atlantia a few years ago, as well as in
his 
own kingdom. Though I never really saw any publication of his results. It
just seemed 
to be a lot of fun to those participating.
