He did not explain things particularly well.
He said it was a pre-cooler, it showed that it could cool air from +1000C down to -150C in 1/100 sec which is pretty amazing. And he said that this was cooling air going into the engine down to that temp...
However he never explained the problem this was solving. What temperature is air usually going into the engine? Why does it need to be cold? What happens if you don't cool it?
Just a poorly written piece, did not lay out Problem->Solution very well at all.
By the sounds of it, it's pretty amazing tech, just wish this were better at explaining it.


my guess would be cold air is denser, which means the engine can produce more thrust and is therefore more efficient. Just a hunch.

hmm, motor racing is going to be a bit weird !

i dunno. was waiting for "it", then a replay started ;-/

this looks like a really good way to prevent yourself having children o_O

i would love to see this outside on a windy day.

the last one in slow motion, the cuts dont seem to cross anywhere near the middle, to me anyhow.

i know its being pedantic and all, but if you're cutting pizza for a job, at least dont screw it up.

question: why do they have a drop in ramp for a vehicle that has an engine ? Could the car not just, er, accelerate to 109mph and jump ?

The cop wanted him to run over his foot. He purposely shifted his foot slightly towards the front of the vehicle, knowing full well the driver would pull forward. A person who was trying to defuse the situation would have stood completely in front of the vehicle, or at least said something to the driver along the lines of "turn off the vehicle."



in short, this.

That said, i don't doubt the driver is an asshat, but it's a pretty dick move on the cops part.

i don't have audio atm so maybe he mentioned it, but i'm a it shocked. Was expecting maybe a little remote controlled vehicle able to crush cans or other small objects.

2 years just for the eyes ?!

props on ability to overcome vertigo
- props on lack of common sense
i maintain, a person dieing while doing something like this, not a tragedy


I tend to agree. Don't do anything you'll feel like an idiot explaining with a halo, i say.

no kidding, the next movie on our "to watch" list is "god bless america".

might give it a miss.

I was with it right up to 4:18 when the bible gets dredged up.

I must say i agree with him on BF3. I think i played BF2 about 400-500 hours. BF3 i've done less than 30 and im bored of it already.

Also the DRM, origin service, and web game lobby are all total bobwank.

so what ? take the fine, pay it out of the crap load of cash fedex will pay you to look good to the news crews when you go the press with this.

Job done.

Hows about people remember and celebrate the man however the hell they want ?
