stupid fast 1/4 mile

from what I gather after some short internet searching

OK here is where I become a nerd again :D

H2O2 was his propellant (hydrogen peroxide)

it uses a chemical decomposition instead of "combustion" (read no ignition source necessary ie no spark plugs). pure hydrogen peroxide is mixed with a "chemical" in the expansion chamber. it can be nitrogen ethanol or even a solid rod acting as a catalyzer. at that point the catalytic reaction breaks apart the molecules resulting in rapid expansion of gasses which are them forced out of a nozzle for propulsion.

it is incredibly inefficient as it consumes massive quantities of "fuel" but because of its simplicity is very light (read: short burst use only).

DAMN that's cool!

[lawdog]

Can you imagine firing that thing off at a traffic light. Look at the plume! LOL. That would def take care of the tailgaitors!

[Macbuell]

jump to 3 minutes for some action. wow

[xtremelow]

That is the same stuff used in the jet packs guys strap on their backs.

5.27 @ 248mph is cookin in my book!

What, your guys' Buells can't do that?

only if you drop it from a plane and start the clock 1/4mi from the groundhttp://wmriders.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/icon_eek.gifhttp://wmriders.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/icon_eek.gifhttp://wmriders.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif

Pretty cool. Makes me wish I had learned something in High School Chemistry.

that is awesome lol

that it is!

X secretly are you a tech nerd too?

[Dave A]

Was that Arnold Schwartzenger narrating?

[tuneport67ss]

That thing is wicked. I think the one that was put up the other day had a quicker run though. Might have even been the same bike. Had the same theme music, but it was english and had MPH. I cant remember what his numbers were though.

Still cool either way. I'd ride it and then I'd buy new underwear.:D

Maybe a little bit...... But I am clueless around computer software so it evens out:D

[delta one]

yea same here

my netbook is a magic box with the alphabet on it in a screwy order :p

I don't know...terminal velocity is lower than that. lol.

[delta one]

start the clock with my bike already at terminal and I may have a chance :D

he will still take maybe a second to accelerate up to ludicrous speed so I am counting on my running start

fair fight?

no

but I cant win in a fair fight

crap I may not be able to win in this fight!


but my bike will stop faster

SPLAT!!:p

(hydrogen peroxide)
Very volatile stuff, the U.S. tested it as a torpedo propellant in the 60's but gave up on it. There is suspicion that the Russians were using it in their torpedoes when the Kursk was sunk.

[IYAOYAS]

WOH

[browland]

That would make me poop faster than ex-lax

[onelogue]

LEGIT!!
