MLC 1 (completed, MLC 2 is up)

My loving Car

Game number 5: Part 12/12

Thrust SSC.

1997

Has no wrong decisions.

Concept: speed recordsman

Style: Black Thunder

Year 1997

Story

This is a direct hit to the point! It's a symbol of my childhood. When this land speed record was set, I was less than a year old. Yes, I lay claimed as though that this rocket belongs to me.

I like that era – 96 and 97 years, because I like to compare what was before me, what was then, and what appeared after.

Thrust SSC is a very good model, objectively it has:

  1. Rarely seen V16. I haven’t tested it in Beam yet, but I think it’s great.

  2. (Only) a 3906 horsepower motor and 522 kg per meter of rotating power, and the model itself has a specific power of 0.55 kg/hp. In one of the magazines I was read that the norm for muscle cars is 1 – 6 kg / hp. I had didn’t checked it, but just decided that it should be so. I suspect that the norms are very conditional, but and we often imagine many things only purely through advertising.

  3. A long wheelbase for implementating preventive control.


    Highlights:

  • The domical cockpit is actually a stretched human helmet.

  • The model was constructed in 25 parts.

  • The rear turbine is completely casted, so the angle of each paddle is perfectly accurate.


    Meanwhile, the original has:

110 000 BHP

223 000 NM – impulsive thrust

Small RWD layout

Mass 10.5 metric tons (about 23150 lbs)

Length 16.5 meters (25 calm steps or 54 feets)

The actual land speed record was set on October 15, 1997 at reaching 1227 km/h.

At the same time, the estimated records for an internal combustion engine with 2000 hp are about 600 km/h. It becomes clear that rockets use energy too wastefully.

Power 3906 hp in Open Beta – 4110. Increase by 5.2%

Torque 5220 nm ►5465 ► 4030 lb-ft. Increase by 4.7%

The external loudness of the turbine is consist 88 decibels at a distance of 3 meters instead of about 140.

For a long time in cinemas, was accepted standard loudness of the upper threshold in 85 decibels. For me, as for a Master of Ceromonias, this is critically important. At the moment, the loudness level has increased everywhere to 80-100 decibels.

Whereas hearing loss is irreversible, and moreover, the threshold of destructive effects is too low. It is stayed at 88 decibels instead of 125 felt. Approximately, it may be the cry of a child. Herewith, judging by all, this level is non-linear, and the higher the value, the greater the sound pressure.

I remember right as now when I went to watch the movie (Noise) in 2021, and even through the hat I was a little deafing. After that, I regained my hearing and decided not to go to the cinema anymore.

The land speed record of 1227 km/h and until now has not been broken. Well, it’s not necessary, because this legendary history has been well deposited in memory, and has a sonorous name.

In this history, it was seemed interesting to me that there are super-smooth squares, like the saltly Lake Bonneville, which allow you to set records. At the same time, during the rainy season, it quickly turns into a brown quagmire. It has an effective area of 3,000 km2, or 1,160 mi2. The shape has an outline of 120 x 16 km2.

At the same time, in fact, there are, as it should be, two routes, with their strict tolerances.

And of course, not everything is so smooth: after driving on the surface there are arising clusters of mounds and folds, therefore, for pilot is arising a danger for their overcoming.

Thank you very much for participating!!!

The rights for hosting the next round of MLC 2 get transferred to Hilbert.

Pointless fun ThrustSSC fact: not only is it no wheel drive, but the rear wheels aren’t even straight, they’re staggered.

An interesting detail. I wasn’t really delving into the subject, somewhere I was read that he has RWD, thus I wrote so. Maybe he was dragged to the lake by airplane.

So, since the moment beginning organization of challenge have been passed 49 days.

A complete review took 24 days.

So, for each presenter is given 7 days. If the player does not have time to make a decision, the flag is passed to the next person.

Solution about format holding of the event at your discretion.

I feel like I’ve just read a Dali painting…

But interested to see what comes next…

And nothing :slightly_smiling_face:
The countdown of 7 days has began, for each presenter. Whoever will have writed that he agree to the next round, immediately becomes the presenter.
While according to the rules, the presenter is given 7 days plus another 7 days for design the next challenge. Although I think it can be reduced to 4 + 6 days.

Now the flag, how organizer, has @Hilbert

Congrats to @Hilbert on the victory, can’t wait for MLC 2!
