Visual aid for identifying useful throttle positions. Or perhaps it's just a convenient place to store them.

Wasabi the J posted:Wouldn't a dab of gas straightened that out? Lurking Haro posted:No, it would make it worse. Whatever he's towing had too much weight behind the rear axle and started swinging. That said a much easier and more reliable solution would be to activate the trailer brakes. This is why the trailer brake controllers that anyone who does serious towing with a pickup uses all have some form of manual control, so you can apply the trailer brakes separately and have it effectively drag itself back in line if it starts to sway. Ford's integrated trailer brake controller on their newer trucks actually does this automatically if it detects the trailer beginning to wag. If you have a brake controller that's always going to be the better option, but if not and your tow vehicle has sufficient extra power you'll have an easier time regaining control with the hitch under tension compared to braking or coasting down a hill with the trailer pushing.

Ornamental Dingbat posted:A few years ago I had a driver lose a barrel of liquid latex in front of a fire dept in MA, they responded immediately and cleaned up the spill in the road, and the chief called me and said that they would make the cleanup charge go away if we provided new shovels to replace the ones that were ruined by the latex. I contact my safety dept and they insisted I told the fire chief that we would replace the shovels and gear if we could get the trashed gear in return (I don't know why, it was a really sketchy trucking company I worked for). When I told the chief that they wanted the old equipment in return he immediately said "gently caress you, if you don't want to work with me we're charging you $25K for an emergency response and cleanup" and hung up. Southcoast somewhere?

wolrah posted:There is something to it though. Having the load balanced improperly is definitely a good way to get in to sway, but once you're there the best way to straighten it out is to put tension on the hitch. Make it want to pull straight. If the truck has enough power to spare giving it some gas can actually help, as long as you still have traction with which to use it. Everything I've ever been told about trailers was that touching the gas with a swaying trailer, but I went and looked it up on a couple DOT websites to see what the official position was and yes, you are giving suicidally bad advice. Don't touch the gas to straighten out your trailer. It will only make the problem worse.

No, slowing down will only cause the trailer to get more erratic, that's how physics works. Hitting the gas, and I'm talking like loving flooring it, will get the wind resistance to push the trailer back to center and keep it steady.

I can think of a lot of physical forces acting on an oscillating trailer, and wind due to the car's high speed is at the bottom of my list. That sounds like a nugget of wisdom passed down through the ages, but if you're going to drag physics into it I hope you have a source.

Stomping on the gas will screw things up, putting a big pulling force on the tongue will pull it back towards the center faster and then its momentum will kick it out the other way even more. Braking hard will screw things up even worse, since now the trailer is pushing the vehicle and will be pushed even further to the side. What you want is to unload the tongue as much as possible - ideally, they're both just coasting along together, until they come to a stop. In some cases a little bit of gas might help with that (since your vehicle might, for example, want to slow down faster than the trailer due to air resistance, so giving a tiny bit of engine power can even that out), but since it's a bit of a panic situation and you're not really in a position to calmly assess just how much gas to give it, the safest option is to just ride it out.

Hitting the gas, and I'm talking like loving flooring it, will get the wind resistance to push the trailer back to center and keep it steady. It started swaying in the first place because it was going too fast with not enough weight on the hitch. Braking will put more pressure in the front, stabilizing it It's like the pendulum fallacy.

Always be suspicious of "antique" dinnerware that's bright orange/red. quote:Just How Radioactive Is Fiesta Ware? You can still find a lot of old red/orange Fiesta Ware products that used uranium oxide for the color. In the early 1940's they briefly stopped using uranium oxide not because they found out it was bad, but because WW2 needed all the uranium that was available. Once that was over they used depleted uranium instead until the 1970s. But boy howdy does it look purdy!
