:lol: hahaha, damn, us diesel guys sure are poetic :P
-
roses are red,
my soot ain't blue,
if you tailgate,
then it's all over you!
hehe
thankyou thankyou! no applause please!
I'm here till the weekend!

i found that on a site like 5 years ago and kept it in my hotmail and found it yesterday when i was digging around accept allt the parts that say diesel stuff said vr6 stuff
-
I wonder what I should get my car for christmas... :D
-
quad turbos with a 400 hp shot of nitrous :D just add a lil extra umph! :twisted:
-
ya who needs pistons or anything, just make the first pressure driven car. :lol:
-
well it would definetly quickly evacuate any piston or other internal parts out the oil pan maybe have a big air duct off the oil pan pointing towards the rear of the car so you can be propelled by the pressure.
-
that would be sweet!!
Actually today in class i was talking with a buddy about alternative fuel. And since we are learning microwave systems right now i came up with the bright idea of using microwaves to heat up water to produce steam for power. But then you'd want batteries, and you charge those you'll need a little generator, so by the end we had a gas driven, battery powered, microwave driven steam car. I call it the "Uberhybrid"

howzabout a helicopter turbine engine? they usually start around 400 hp and take up roughly the same space as your transmission. They'll run quite happily on diesel, and i suppose you could call it a turbo... Anyone want to race my TURBO DIESEL?? HEH HEH HEH.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
-
that sounds like some of the thinking i do lol. starts off with something real simple and all of a sudden its some crazy fire breathing burnout machine (or not) you get the point.
-
lol. I just wanna be able to rip the doors off of some more "powerful" cars.

My vote is for a P&W turboshaft engine from the dash 8, 2000+ shaft hp, even with the reduction box it's no larger than a chevy V8. The 10" exhaust pipe might be a problem though, passenger seat would have to go...
-
or make a gokart using a smart cars turbo diesel engine, haha theres you gas price beater! :P
-
mmmm, turbine powered. listen to the sound of it spooling up as the traffic light changes, picture the shimmers of heat in the mirror from the 10" exhaust. The only soot behind you is from the melting plastic grill on the car behind. The guys on Harleys two lanes over have their hands over their ears. The blown Camaro in the next lane launches hard and pulls away, 2 seconds later all he can remember is the flicker of blue in the exhaust and the wall of heat and sound going past. :twisted:
Jay Leno's column on Popularmechanics.com has an article about a turbine powered bike he has. evidently he did melt some guys bumper that was crowding him at a light!

I haven't had a passenger seat in 3 years, so that's no biggie. Hm, I don't imagine defrosting the windshield would be much of an issue either! :lol:

These guys have entirely too much fun...

IF my calculations are right his PWR Pwr to wgt ratio is 1000 and the Ferrari is only at 266.67.
Ferrrari is 1.6 Tonne, cart is 0.1 tonne.
Formula: Hp / Tonne
300 ft/lbs of torque at 0 RPM :twisted:
-
lmao... turbjet diesel engine... I'm lovin' it!!!
that would be one hell of a sleeper... just have it directly bolted to the wheels... 50:1 gear ratio... the torque would be insane.
-
300 ftlbs of torque at 0 rpms....uhhhh im pretty sure that isnt possible.. but whatever
-

Absolutely possible. Electric motors, gas turbines and steam engines are the only ways to make torque at shaft stall. Dang infernal combustion engines gotta be rotating...
-
but all of those motors or engines have something turning some rpm to make power... no ?
-
what would have to be done about fuel tank and capacity? how much "running" time would be get out of one of these turbines? :P
-
Torque is not power, torque is torque, the amount of twisting force imparted on a shaft. The shaft may be stationary or moving. Twist a bolt with a beam or dial type torque wrench, note that the bolt can be stopped but torque still reads on the scale.
Power is torque over time. To make power there must be both rotation and torque.
In a turboshaft engine the gas producer always runs at its governed speed but the power turbine stator vanes can be turned to reduce the torque on the output shaft turbine and it can be stopped. If the shaft is held by a brake, the stator vanes can be advanced and the engine will produce torque even though the shaft remains stationary. An electric motor can produce torque even though its shaft is held stationary, likewise for the steam engine.
-
you make a good point. One thing i noticed today to was when using a cordless 14.4 volt drill, i tried to hold the end with my hand and apply power...Damn those things can make a lot of torque. SO then i thought, now i just gotta find a motor big enough to move my car, then im set!! even diesel wouldn't have anything on this bad boi!!
-
lol braindead for a while (g/f on the brain) torque : twisting force around a fixed point. DAMN BROADS!
