    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.

    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.

    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

    • @Donut
      @Donut  4 года назад +38

      We actually had to cut a section of the video talking about that, but in short its a combo of track quality and distance. For example, Black Rock Desert in Nevada used to be a good place to make an attempt back in the 90’s but the surface is less than ideal now because of, and this is 100% true, Burning Man - Jerry

      Bonneville is a Salt Lake Bed that has been becoming increasingly less flat as moisture is increasing in the area. It's climate change that may have been brought on by the upward increase of event attendees...

    • @polbecca

      A dried salt lake like Bonneville is simply too hard a surface for the vehicle and the driver at transonic speeds. That's why a dried mud surface works better: hard outer surface but softer material underneath.

    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.

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.

    • @nigelft
      @nigelft 2 года назад +1

      Yup ...
      I'm old enough to remember when Richard Noble smashed the world land speed record in Thrust 2, which I got to see in person, in a vehicle museum, iurc, in Coventry. Aside from that, it was notable for the fact that Jaguar took one of the fastest coupé at the time (XJS ?), and turned it into the world's fastest 'fire engine' (OK, more like a car out fitted with a big enough tank for fire suppression), just in case Thrust 2 crashed ... I still have a vague visually memory of watching it power across the dry lake bed, the mirage effect making it look like it _was_ travelling across water, with a huge 'roosters' tail of dust, right behind it ...
      When Trust SSC came around, by then he knew he was a touch too old to drive it. Though he was a key figure in the project, even he would say he had a more hands off rôle than portrayed, but given he _did_ practically hold the land speed record for the longest time, he appreciated actually being bought on-board.
      As for the driver of Thrust SSC, if memory recalls, not only was he an retired RAF Squadron Leader (the equivalent to a Major in both the Army, and Royal Marines; and Lt. Commander in the Royal Navy - making him a NATO OF-3), but he was a Sqn Ldr of the Red Arrows, the RAF's Display Team, making him a man formerly in charge of one of the world's elite aerobatic display teams, requiring an insane level of skill just to be even considered to join them, as even a few seconds miss-timing can end in serious crashes, during air displays. I wish I could remember that pilot's name, as he - rightfully - deserves recognition for being the first person to drive faster than Mach 1, which would've pushed even his skills to the limit ...
      ... but seeing an aerial photo of Thrust SSC, a clear line, caused by the supersonic shock wave spreading laterally across the salt/sand, is still an incredible image ...
      ... hence I can't wait to see what Bloodhound can do, at maximum throttle ...

    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.

    as a mechanical engeneer myself, i would like to add that going over 300mph (500kmh) is already an acomplishment.
    i have never phisically participated in the creation of any super car or anything like that, but on my free time i tried to design (as a self challenge) a internal combustion-propeled "as fast as i can for the memes" car, and boy was it a failure, yes, my engine theorically works, and my body design is oddly efficient at dispelling drag, but that thing even on the simulations cannot achive it's theoricall top speed (325mph, 520kmh), i have managed to run it at about 300 mph (480ish kmh, got lazy to do the convertions, lol), and that was by replacing the drivier with a IA driver instead of a human (simulated) driver.
    i have abandoned the project for now, but here's a summary of all the things that i have to fix:
    -the engine displaces too much residual gas, blowing up the whole turbo system, tried to replace it with superchargers, they got ripped appart.
    -if the turbos explodings don't blow up first, they melt down from the increase of heat due exsesive preasure.
    -i have not found yet the right alghorithm to make the smart surfaces correctly adjust for the drag at low speeds (but that's just me not knowing how to code properly)
    -belive it or not wheel traction plays a huge part on acceleration, at nearly about 1.8k hp, the force transmited to the ground from the wheels is so high that one out of two things always happens; car does minihops off the ground making the ride rock around making it near imposible to drive, or the wheels have differential traction, making my build turn from a car into world's lamest-but-cool-looking bayblade (again making it near imposible to control).
    moral of the story, just because the math checks out doesn't reallity does too.

      Project is still halted as I've lost interest for now, might take it up again some day in the future, but like i said, simulations differ from real world, in the real world 2k hp engines need to be rebuilt after each use as they thorn apart themselves after a few seconds of max power output.

      @@ghostrider-be9ek right? Shit, the Chiron needed special one time tires to hit over 300mph because pressure in them get too high. Imagine the stress the crank goes through at double that speed without actual tires to absorb it. Rockets pump water under them during launch so the acoustics don’t tear it apart, imagine a poor car going through the sound barrier at sea level. By comparison density is at 1,000 millibars at sea level. At 18,000 feet it’s less than half (cruising altitude), at 100,000 feet it’s only about 10. So over twice the air resistance on land...if it’s not too hot...and while keeping traction the whole time.

      Indeed ...
      Just the engineering behind making the solid billets, iirc, from a very carefully controlled alloy; heat treating it; tempering it back; then machining it to insane tolerances, was all a nightmare by itself.
      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 ...
