Well, that's extremely simple geometry calculations shown there.. I don't know what they blurred, but figuring that whiteboard out shouldn't take several hours.
I'm still very excited for this sim though, it seems great
Sadly there's no such thing as a what you call a realistic tyre model then. Any such model will be empirical, but if Scawen manages to create a model that isn't empirical I know a few companies that would make him very rich
It seems about as likely as Scawen discovering a governing equation for the modelling of turbulence. Nobel price here we come.
Is the vaporization even the main problem? Would sugar-water vapor even combust? Been a while since I had chemistry, I don't think the sugar will be in the vapor
Let's not even get into an area you can't swim in, a dual mass flywheel might practically have some problems but they are often necessary. So yeah, let's stay out of a discussion about frequency spectrums and Fourier analysis.
The EGR also practically poses some problems, but has generally been accepted to solve more problems than it causes. I'm sure the manufacturers intend services to handle any issues in that regard, the thing is that they have loads of emission standards and crap to keep up with.
Sure it's a multi-billion dollar project, but it's not a totally impossible idea. IMO the superconducting part is further fetched than the vacuum tunnel
Liquid nitrogen isn't that expensive.. A few cents per liter.
Even if you go with the low-temperature materials, liquid helium can be obtained for a measly few dollars per liter.
Liquid nitrogen. It's -200 celcius, which isn't even enough to make most materials superconductive. The demonstrated material is one of the only known ones that are superconductive at -200 celcius, normally they have to go quite a bit lower, actually almost down to 0K.
Since when do engineers do anything even remotely practical? At least out of university
Well, I kinda study mechanical engineering for a living. Most of the money I get come from studying.
Then I work in the IT department of my university, managing networks etc.
