Fun fact (that I learned from an AgentJayZ video recently): those civilian jet engines aren't allowed to run variable nozzles like military jets do. The nozzles are fixed and tuned for max thrust at full afterburner, meaning they generate essentially no thrust at idle. That's what the popping of the burners is before they launch, they're blipping them in order to have thrust at all and move up for staging. So those big fancy military turbojet engines are basically just acting as gigantic gas generators for the afterburners.

am I a bad person for wanting to put 14 and Seat Safety Switch in a room with an entire blotter of LSD and a keyboard? I feel like they'd write the gearhead bible, complete with 50 chapters worth of Revelations. Fuckers are poets. I could never in a million years come up with that.

In a PT Cruiser we've sawzalled the roof off of while they're on a victory tour to all the AI meetups for a year. We could totally crowdfund something like that, guys. Think of the possibilities!

Enourmo posted:Fun fact (that I learned from an AgentJayZ video recently): those civilian jet engines aren't allowed to run variable nozzles like military jets do AgentJayZ is right about just about everything regarding gas turbine engines, but not this. There is no law banning civilians from owning jet engines with variable nozzles. There are, however, many laws that prohibit civilians from owning specific current (or recent) military hardware; functioning military jet engines happen to be one of the things they really don't want in civilian hands more because of the risk of unauthorised technology transfer than anything else.

So you could make your own, just not use an existing nozzle made by the manufacturer? Makes sense. Still, I doubt most dragsters (or jet ground vehicles in general really) have much use for anything under maximum thrust, so they probably wouldn't invest the engineering time regardless; so banning milspec equipment instead of the technology itself basically has the same net effect. E: In any case, legal or no you can see the truck in question does indeed have fixed nozzles.

Variable nozzles (and intakes) are features of transonic/supersonic aircraft, not of engines equipped with afterburners. For more, read up on de Laval nozzles. Imagine the gas turbine stuck in the middle at the narrowest point of the duct, and you're 90% of the way there.

There's a lot of two bit photographers that set up on corners on the ring and try to sell shots of people driving it, I suppose they make decent souvenirs but do it producing some really bad photography. Vast numbers of poorly processed photos get dumped on the internet every week, trying to make a buck.
