Reinstall the prop with an engine at each tip

I've seen dumb potato-cannon style improvised guns before, but this could possibly be both the most complex and least useful one ever.

Install 20 model jet engines on the plane. Set the record for most jets on one jet. And add more struts.

Is there a reason why Nascar pit crews have to gently caress around with fuel canisters instead of just using a hose?

I don't know if this is the actual reason, but there's something to be said for avoiding the risk of someone driving off while the hose is still attached (to the car, it seems to rapidly detach from the tank), which apart from the obvious fuel spillage and fire risks, tends to collect some pit crew too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR0uYg9lb3A All the same accident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWuJqCj7ItI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHuhgC9tEyo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gMcLfCGw4g While I was looking, I found a video where you can see a bit of the methanol fire when it first erupts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuXG0OYRGTc&t=28s Oh, if you keep going to the 63 second mark, you can see that was because of the hose still being attached too

VectorSigma posted:this, but with twin-engine nacelles instead of props The last time anyone tried tiltwings they discovered that crosswinds turned them into weathervanes. All for (according to Wikipedia) a 10% improvement in hover performance. e: This is a drone, so I guess BBQ'd crew isn't a factor. e2: VVV: If a guy with a jerry can were more accurate and faster than a fuelling rig, F1 would have used jerry cans. Well, before the current pogrom against entertaining racing with cars that didn't sound like someone driving a rented diesel hatchback hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEzouwTVFOo IPCRESS fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Sep 11, 2017 |
