4.5 hr flight from London to Sydney
>> ^spoco2:
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.

Crazy Hot Wheels Car Jump
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 ?
Dude in a Ferrari Runs Over Cops Foot
>> ^Sniper007:
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.
