NSFW Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Team Hot Wheels: Wall Riders - Episode 4 | Hot Wheels - YouTube I was really hoping to see magnets behind the wall. But "coefficient of friction" only matters if there's a force pushing the tire into the surface. The biker gets that by being launched into the wall at an angle, and using his legs to spread the impact force over time. The car was on the wall far too long for that approach to work, and the wall was tangent to the ramp to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Well - the video may not tell the full truth. A slight leaning of the wall could be sufficient - but I wouldn't dare that stunt anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkaszynski Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 http://www.bedug.com/pics/Fun3/060525-F-2295B-242.jpg Heritage flight. I saw one at a tiny little air show with an F-16 and a P-51. You could hear the jet on the other side of the trees, and all of a sudden it was right over you. Kind of freaky how the sounds resonated around the valley.

SBT Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 That video is so fake it surprises me how many people think it might be real. Worse, some liquored-up redneck will figure if someone can do it in a little "import", then they certainly can do it in their testosterone-infused lifted truck. Might cull the gene-pool a bit, but I'd hate to clean-up the mess. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that thing! Well - I'd rather do that speed in a P-51 than in a lot of other stuff. It's actually a pretty capable bird. More interesting is that it has about the same top speed and maximum altitude as the A-10, but the similarity ends there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Love the Blackbird. But the SR-71 would have a really hard time flying stably at that speed, and if it could, the amount of fuel required for that flight - given how much fuel it leaks at sub-sonic speeds - would be incredible. There's a reason they refuel them almost immediately after launch - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
