Why its impossible to drive 1000mph

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Thanks to Audible for sponsoring today’s episode. Head over to audible.com/bumper2bumper or text bumper2bumper to 500-500.
Cars get faster every day, and ever since we started driving them, we've always tried to go faster. But is there a limit to how fast a car can go? We did some math, made some calculations, and talked to some scientists to find out where the barriers are in making a car go faster. So what is the limiting factor? Is it the engine? The tires? You'll have to watch to the end to find out!

    Better question is, how do you make a car go that fast without killing the driver if the slightest glitch happens. Jessie Combs died trying to break this record. A slight gust of wind, a tiny pebble the size of a pencil eraser, even turning the steering wheel a fraction a degree is all it takes for a disaster to occur.

    First many thought you couldn’t fly faster than the speed of sound, it was done and than was doubled. A land vehicle couldn’t do it, then they did it. It takes huge knowledgeable effort and money to do this. A totally committed crew and huge amount of patience. That on top of not getting discouraged with the multiple failures experienced prior to cracking 1000 mph in a land vehicle.

    The problem is those including Craig breedloves (the spirit of America) car (that was disqualified) that he entered into the land speed record car event which means it has to have 4 wheels not 3. The 3 wheeled vehicles now have their own class so unless your vehicle has 4 wheels it can not attain a record in that class of 4 wheeled cars that the thrust SSC holds the record for. The thrusts SSC beat breedloves record anyway because it broke the sound barrier on land first.

    @@lucasvanhamburg4937 Why? The Isreali Defense Force flew a mission up the Bakka Valley some years ago, led by a female Colonel of their Air Force- a half dozen planes, in line behind that female colonel took out 70+% of the Hezbollah air defense systems- at somewhere over the speed of sound and less than a thousand feet from the ground. The medicine says women handle G force better than men- it's a "biological thing"- sorta makes up for all the other superiority myths you've been brought up on, doesn't it?Actually, looking at your name,I suspect you should take up the qualifications of women with Angela Merkel- even if you don't agree with all of her politics, you have to respect her ability; those who haven't aren't much around the Bundestag any more. In Jessi Combs case, she was fully licensed and certified, the car was inspected and cleared by very skilled technicians of the sanctioning body, not the American Eagle team. In her early teens, she was doing things with dirt bikes that boys six to ten years older couldn't- and i rather doubt you could now. I'm not family, and I never met the lady, but I was deeply impressed by what she did, time after time. BTW, it is thought she hit a rock and lost surface contact- there is both the sanctioning bodies report and the County Sheriff's if you want to dig.

    I attended an educational show as an HP consultant for scientific calculators on 2012. At that time, the Bloodhound LSR project was being introduced as the SSC. So I took that project as my presentation theme. After thoroughly studying math involved and running several calculations, I arrived at a speed figure of 1058.8 mph if the trial run was performed at 30 degrees Celsius ambient temperature and the 794-meter elevation at Hakskeen Pan. I figured that the combined power available from the jet engine - rocket motor combination amounted to over 100,000 horsepower to overcome the 19-ton drag force exerted over the car body. However, I could not consider the second-order effects stemming from the supersonic shock wave, being that the nonlinear analysis can not be undertaken without the aid of advanced hydrodynamic software.

    A resounding "YES!" to the extended interview. I'd love to see that...top speed racing is the nuttiest. Plus, I wonder why Bonneville wasn't used (environmental concerns, surface quality, track distance (or lack thereof), proximity to the location of build, weather, none of the above?, some combination of all, or some, of the above?). Thanks for yet another informative and (relatively) in-depth B-2-B on a subject that just doesn't get the attention it deserves. Cheers

    In my way over-simplified understanding it's how fast multiples of factors involved increase. Just physics issues multiply pretty quick. Rotating mass, drag, wind resistance, torsional stresses, lift, friction, heat problems, etc.

    The problem being that it has to expend more energy to maintain traction than propulsion after a point to be "fastest driveable" like two engines, one with the force pointed almost straight down, and the other to propel it forward. The required power would consume far too much fuel to likely get past that barrier

    In other words no car will ever do what you’re talking about unless you define “car” in such a way as to include horizontal flying rockets that have tires attached and are kept (more-or-less) in contact with the ground under them. To call this contraction a car I would add the additional requirement that the tires have to maintain contact with the ground to the same extent that they had contact in the came proportion as the fastest production car when it reaches its top speed. In other words, it doesn’t count if the rocket is flying and the tires are just sort of touching the ground but mostly just skipping along for the ride. Excellent KZread! Very informative. I had my Jaguar XJ12 up to 130+ MPH for an hour one time. The scariest part was how fast the other cars on the freeway approached me. At 130 I was still about 500 rpm below the car’s redline so there was a little more speed I might have squeezed out, but I couldn’t tell if the several cars on the freeway ahead of me were too close together for me to maneuver a 20’ long 6000 lbs machine around. Looking back it was fun. But at that moment it was scary.

Even the rocket motor, which provides the secondary power, ontop of the jet engine, to push it past 830mph, took several iterations. And the twin analogue dials, built by Rolex, just in case of both primary, and secondary, electronic systems fail, took alot of effort to build, as not even the watches that the Apollo astronauts wore were subjected to the same calculated g-forces those two dials will experience at maximum thrust ... imagine building a mechanical watch that can operate with a shock loading of 8g+, abet able to maintain the same precision of timing ... ... that's how difficult building Bloodhound is, and why it has suffered setbacks, and delays, as all the teams involved, are quite literally pushing the envelope, as they are, essentially, building a fighter jet with the express purpose of _not_ taking off, even though it would be travelling, iirc, somewhere between V1, and Vr ...

    He touched on it very shortly but downforce is really the limiting factor. The faster the vehicle goes the more downforce that is applied keeping the vehicle from flying up off of the ground essentially making the tores flat from trying to keep it from flying above the ground out of control therefore reaching maximum downforce load.
