You wouldn't have to buy a minivan if you had worn one of these.

A similar tragedy occurred when an innocent naked woman was being photographed playing with her favorite model airplane.

They will use this LRAD till the first driver slams on the brakes and a chain reaction kills many drivers, innocent by-standers workers.

Yes. The deductible amount is the "donation amount" minus the fair market value of what was received. Anyone that has bought anything from a PBS fund raiser should know this :)

I just read a 3,000 word column telling me to buy a flank steak, marinate it, and grill it.

This is fucking genius. He came up with some bullshit plan that will never actually materialize. What does he get out of it? A huge fucking house...paid for by other people!

Garrett did a split drive turbo in the 80's with a hydraulic drive system Hydra charger IIRC. Let me get to the desktop and see if I can get a link.

I'm curious about the shafts supports and seals within the engine. Are they running an oil system for the shaft or is it lubricated with some proprietary technology, or is it a simply hole that runs through the engine block? It seems like any shaft play within the engine(Especially at high RPM) would obliterate the…

If you can keep the turbine heat away from the compressor that's good for 1-2% comp. efficiency, more at low flows and pressure ratios. Being able to load the turbine independent of engine mass flow needs (comp. shaft power) would also gain them both regenerative power and being able to run in the sweet spot of the…

I agree, some of those conclusions don't make any sense from an engineering point of view. Like having to rely less on it's MGU-T unit for quick spool because of less intercooler piping... What about the added inertia of a turbo shaft which is now 5 x or more longer then it originally was? I would also guess this…

The Trailer looked promising. I hope the movie delivers. I have to admit I was doubting whether the director was the best possible choice...

I mean the lancia fulvia

Pretty much every car is slower doing 5-60 than it is from 0-60. This is because when accelerating from a stop, you can dump the clutch at high RPMs (or brake torque the car to high RPMs if it is an automatic). When you accelerate from 5-60, you have no choice but to accelerate from low RPMs because the car is already…

Too much efficiency loss. Not gonna happend...

How about the sound of a Nissan VQ engine from 1,000 to 3,000 RPM?

I see. So this is why we now refer to them by their project number I guess? Project 941/Project 971?

The Typhoon class was called the Akula class in Russia, the Akula class is a NATO reporting name like Typhoon, Shchuka class is the name of the Akula class in Russia. It is a bit confusing but it is fact.

The Akula class are attack subs, not missile subs. Also, I noticed the movie did take some liberties with the submarine design. The real Typhoon had shrouded props whereas the movie sub didn't. #minutiae

They could never build an aircraft carrier as great as the USS Lexington with 300 Corvettes on it.
