Blonk Iconoclast Donating Members 4,330 Member For: 20y 2m 27d Gender: Male Location: CH Posted 10/12/04 07:32 AM Share Posted 10/12/04 07:32 AM OK..... It appears we have problems, not with hardware or software as is usually the case.. It appears we have problems with the human content.... Lets get this into perspective....We have only had the opportunity to own and drive motorcars for about 100 years... Considering humans have been around for between 3,000 and 50,000 years (depending on whether you believe science or religion) it is a very short time in our evolution... During the greatest majority of that time, horses have been the main means of the majority of humans for educated transport... Now we are priveleged due to modern engineering to avail the use of the motorcar.....Lets define motorcar....Motor·Carn.Motor car\, or Motorcar \Mo"tor*car`\, n. 1. An automobile, locomobile, or locomotive designed to run and be steered on a street or roadway; esp., an auto-mobile specially designed for passengers. From – motorised carraige. See carriageLets define carraigecar·riage n. 1. A wheeled vehicle, especially a four-wheeled horse-drawn passenger vehicle, often of an elegant design. 2. Chiefly British. A railroad passenger car. 3. A baby carriage. 4. A wheeled support or frame for carrying a heavy object, such as a cannon. OK.... So in what, 1 or 2 generations, us, the members of this site are buying and running around in carriages, not drawn by 1 or 2 horses but tying 300- 700 horses on our carriages (I would hate to be the strapper) in a transportable frame for carrying babies, passengers and cannons and someone who is obviously more enlightened than us is saying "hey, be sensible you guys" 50 years ago, had we have put that many horses onto a carriage or cannon carrier we would have been locked up as insane.... Now half a decade later, knowing we cant hit women over the head and drag them into caves (except geaaa) we are expected to know that with our over livestocked machines we should still be "normal"The only place I have found normal was on a washing machine........Back to being an engineer.......Most conversation on this site is off topic and humorous / slanderous because our Motorcars are going so well and we are enjoying them so much we come here because we have the time... Remember the XA, XB, XC.. If we were in that era again we would all be out working on our cars.... And our keyboards would be locked up from grease and blood from our knuckles....We argue about 10kw - Does anyone here actually know what a kw is.... It is a international scientific measurement (or SI) for the equation of power... P=W/tOr power equals work over time. The power developed by a machine that does work at the rate of one Joule per second is one watt.... This would equate to one large chocolate mud cake has approx. the potential for 2 kW..... If a standard XR6Turbo was parked next to Phasen with 65 chocolate mud cakes in it.. .The standard T would have potentially more KW on board than the Phase 3.....Hmmmm...... now my head fuken hurts ..... Lets argue about something more important like breas*s and spelling misatkes..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bullet moving at 240m/s has the kinetic energy of 1440jOr 1.44kw........ That is a 22 cal.........cal .223 or 5.56mm moves at 700m/s.... do the mathsOk an 80kg body accelerated by 3.33m/s squared.... would put that body at 200kmh after 400m..... ( ford have already looked at this)A standard 80kg human body (unfit australian) I.fuken.E. Cannot handle that rate of acceleration...... G forces...... We complain about clunky diffs.... How about we give them some credit for not blacking out our senses over a short run..Gravity = 9.8 m per second per second... And I do not know anyone I have skydived with that has remembered that first 5 or 6 seconds of free fall.,....That is all of your 400m run +......Fighter pilots are 18-20 years old with perfect reflexes and are retired at 21..... Alll us old townsfolk are wingeing about HP..... There is now a company that will for 1200 $$$ take you for a flight on a rocket with seats on it.( F16 I think) that will produce acceleration of magnitude, in a feild that it is warrented ... http://www.jetfighter.com.au/locations.htmlDo that and come back and I will explain some more engineering to you dum fuks... You will spend 1000's $$$ to wipe a second of your acceleration and elapse time just so you can give the finger to some teenager in a datsun.. and yet you know nothing about the equations of force, acceleration, power, energy and momentum... Believe me..Someone is doing you a favour by not giving you a 3 second 0-100.... Unless the peice of shiiite you are driven can do it whilst your senses are telling you that you are dead and buried and have packed up, sh*t your pants and gone home..... Want some more sums I will give them to you.... Be grateful for what you have got... Lockheed does not warrenty what happens to the machine and unfortunates that drive their beasts under maximum throttle.... Ford does and hgas had some responsibilty to owners....

Approx. $1.70 per kilowatt - out dated 1997Maximum speed: Mach 2.05 at less than .005 atmospheres.OrOne General Electric F110-GE-100 turbofan rated at 27,600 lb st (122.77 kN) with afterburning, or one Pratt & Whitney F100-P-220 turbofan rated at 23,450 lb st (104.31 kN) with afterburning... Approx $0.95 per kwAll in all boys.. stop arguiing about chips and injectors... cause we engineers are watching with amusement... The dollars per KW you are paying.... And laughing our freakin heads offf.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
