Conrad Stacey

Conrad Stacey is a Director of Stacey Agnew Pty Ltd, practicing principally in underground ventilation and fire life safety.  Besides many publications on tunnel matters, Conrad’s credits include seminal reports on livestock shipping heat stress risk, co-authorship of a paper on the gravitational energy drivers for the geodynamo, and for some years he maintained a patent on an ambidextrous boomerang.  Since 2019, with Michael Beyer, Conrad has entered the scientific discussion on the critical velocity to prevent smoke backlayering in road tunnels, correcting the scientific record that was messed up by “Froude scaling” of results in tiny tunnels, and producing a new model describing the physics sensibly.  Currently he is developing areas of research on the aerodynamics of hunting boomerangs in museum collections.
