Space travel...............

Just saw a show on discovery channel about rocketships and junk....................pretty interesting if you ask me...................just getting some ideas for a later project....................

lmao Mr.Bruno?

Jon you thinking about taking the stang into ORBIT

Only if I can work out the formula for my hood scoop opening, otherwise the deal will never leave the ground..............

and Ws dont count

Jon, here's the formula:

Pie r queered.

Hey John, check this out, google "robert maddox" this guy puts pulse jets on everything! Bikes, cars, trucks, name it, and now he's going to use one while parachute jumping! His you-tube videos are wild! He puts a pulse jet on a beach cruiser bicycle and goes 80 mph! then he put a big one in the back of his Ford p/u and goes 75 mph with the trucks gas engine turned off! The video is at night and the flames are awesome!! My dad was a real rocket scientist back in the 1960's , he says I need to put one in the bed of my pick up. We are giving some serious thought to that this summer, this could be the next "nitrous" kinda thing, why not a blower motor with rocket boost assist???? 20 feet of flame out the back would be way cool coming across the bridge into town!!!

did you guys see the jet powered 4 wheeler on Pass Time? darn thing only ran like an 11 or something. When we use to drag race our Banshee's and EX400 they ran almost as fast.

guy down the road has a 283 powered 42" cut lawn mower. he says it is not very fuel efficient. wonder why?

good read .....

Aerodynamics is a branch of dynamics concerned with studying the motion of air, particularly when it interacts with a moving object. Aerodynamics is closely related to fluid dynamics and gas dynamics, with much theory shared between them. Aerodynamics is often used synonymously with gas dynamics, with the difference being that gas dynamics applies to all gases. Understanding the motion of air (often called a flow field) around an object enables the calculation of forces and moments acting on the object. Typical properties calculated for a flow field include velocity, pressure, density and temperature as a function of position and time. By defining a control volume around the flow field, equations for the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy can be defined and used to solve for the properties. The use of aerodynamics through mathematical analysis, empirical approximation and wind tunnel experimentation form the scientific basis for heavier-than-air flight.

Aerodynamic problems can be identified in a number of ways. The flow environment defines the first classification criterion. External aerodynamics is the study of flow around solid objects of various shapes. Evaluating the lift and drag on an airplane, the shock waves that form in front of the nose of a rocket or the flow of air over a hard drive head are examples of external aerodynamics. Internal aerodynamics is the study of flow through passages in solid objects. For instance, internal aerodynamics encompasses the study of the airflow through a jet engine or through an air conditioning pipe.

The ratio of the problem's characteristic flow speed to the speed of sound comprises a second classification of aerodynamic problems. A problem is called subsonic if all the speeds in the problem are less than the speed of sound, transonic if speeds both below and above the speed of sound are present (normally when the characteristic speed is approximately the speed of sound), supersonic when the characteristic flow speed is greater than the speed of sound, and hypersonic when the flow speed is much greater than the speed of sound. Aerodynamicists disagree over the precise definition of hypersonic flow; minimum Mach numbers for hypersonic flow range from 3 to 12.

The influence of viscosity in the flow dictates a third classification. Some problems involve only negligible viscous effects on the solution, in which case viscosity can be considered to be nonexistent. The approximations to these problems are called inviscid flows. Flows for which viscosity cannot be neglected are called viscous flows.

Aerodynamics is important in a number of applications other than aerospace engineering. It is a significant factor in any type of vehicle design, including automobiles. It is important in the prediction of forces and moments in sailing. It is used in the design of large components such as hard drive heads. Structural engineers also use aerodynamics, and particularly aeroelasticity, to calculate wind loads in the design of large buildings and bridges. Urban aerodynamics seeks to help town planners and designers improve comfort in outdoor spaces, create urban microclimates and reduce the effects of urban pollution. The field of environmental aerodynamics studies the ways atmospheric circulation and flight mechanics affect ecosystems. The aerodynamics of internal passages is important in heating/ventilation, gas piping, and in automotive engines where detailed flow patterns strongly affect the performance of the engine.

We just want to go mach 2 with our hair on fire!!!! If you have a rocket you only need a 10.5 tire!!! Now I've stirred the pot.....

last time I saw the shuttle launch it had a W. lol

lmao ....good one

Richter 69 1st Stang In Space On 10.5s

Will it have wheeley bars though

It will take W's to get into orbit......

The Math and Physic's dont Lie............

Fabio + ~ of W = R3 x W x ^ = 10.5W

See........Its True

Fabio needs to launch the stang with some serious rpms...., the wheeley bars are his landing gear...optional!

thats some funny sheot right there

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ rotflmao !!!!! and almost pissed my pants !!!! good one

The only reason the "small" guys cry about the "big" guys is because they just want to know what its like to rock with a bigger "unit".................well let me tell you its a "blast"..................

Don't be a hater just because that's all the "equipment" you can muster................

hell yeah the smaller tire ...w's dont count ...plus they are heavier .... its all in how you use it ..not about the size

Remember "W's" blew up the "Challenger" couldn't handle a cold track....

Actually, unfortunately, it was the "Non-W's" fuel system that were responsible for the Challenger accident..

Remember those famous words...

"Challenger go for throttle up..."

It was a fuel line from the main tank to the orbiter that went..

Not the SRB's (W's)
