So many bikes... Also, there is no crash so lower your expectations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIFc6RmKUWU&feature=related For some reason I couldn't stop laughing my rear end off. Let me know if I'm crazy or if you find this funny as well.

As far as I can remember, this hasn't been posted yet. But a lot of people know about the James Bond corkscrew jump. The famous photo of the AMC Hornet seemingly floating upside down over a river. Here is a video of the jump from behind the set. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trJocyjCBzo As you can see, everyone was thrilled to see it work the first time. That's right. It was the first take.

The Scientist posted:An amazingly badass motorcycle helmet milled from solid billet aluminum on a 5-axis cnc mill. I never understood what the other two axiis were, smell and taste? (I guess maybe its referring to 2 axiis of freedom for the part and vice in addition to the 3 of the spindle). I think the helmet was later used as a trophy for something. The 4th and 5th axis are the head's ability to tilt and the tables ability to rotate. There are other means of achieving 5 axis though.

They both appear to be single cylinder (hence the huge flywheel). That's all that I can pull from watching the video. It looks like it might also be diesel?

Currently designing an engine myself, I can't even fathom how hard it was to do it back then. I also may have taken a few design ideas from them.

This guy takes old rusted cars and gives them a new life. http://vimeo.com/channels/staffpicks#35461693 I mean the passion and effort is there. But the idea behind it is so tired and overdone. It's nice to see that they don't patina the cars themselves and just find them that way though.

Ola posted:This might be old, but it's a documentary on the Turbo era of F1. And not a modern one, and old doc with slow pacing. The racing car designer with ties and the woodworkers who carve the castings from Brazilian mahogany get plenty of time. Part 2 in related vids. If anyone hasn't seen this, set aside two hours and watch. Amazing documentary.

I know this has been posted before. But I think it deserves another look. Guy hill climbs in a very fast Fiat. Seems almost perfectly tuned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7YGVEMlHPs With this I'd also like to ask what makes tires screech, because that one does not. Is it the tread pattern? Perhaps something to do with hardness?

ROFLBOT posted:I think you underestimate modern F1 cars that can pull 5g in a turn. They dont need stagger, just aero... It would certainly be interesting to see which would be faster. F1 cars do have great aero, but the stagger does more for the car than you might imagine. Not to mention those dirt cars also have aero, albeit not as efficient as F1.

EduardoEspecial posted:We took this here steel hoop and glued some rubber on it! WHEEL OF THE FUTURE! I commented a while ago about how the tire still has a regular tread so it needs to be replaced just as often as a regular tire and that lateral forces would just destroy those thread rods by placing them in bending. The response I got was just anger and misplaced blame on the tire industry. Then he deleted both of our comments.

KozmoNaut posted:MCM tests whether electric superchargers work. I enjoyed this. I had always wondered what would happen if you took a huge rear end compressor and air tank and rigged it up to the intake. You would need a very large flow pressure regular and set it to whatever you wish. Or you could run 250 pounds of boost for 5-10 seconds .Fake edit: blah blah blah its basically NOS but worse. Yea I know. It's just like a leafblower supercharger.

Bumming Your Scene posted:Now I'm looking for that video of the guy at a track day making smoke any time he touches the throttle... and he eventually gets black flagged. I think it was a Euro video... so I dunno what kind of car it was, didnt look sporty I think. The whipping back and forth seems a little intentional. While it was stupid and reckless, I have to give it to him for staying more or less in control of the car the entire time. That's a lot of horsepower to keep in a straight line.

I was going to say, that looks like an engineering fault if anything. Before I even consider anything else, that crank, especially where it broke doesn't look very meaty. I'm sure testing and FEA was done, but under no circumstances should a crank break within the operational envelope of an engine.
