Fifty shades of Jade

[Derek]

Fantastic work Will , you and Blue should do a joint project, I bet it would be amazing.

Will,
What is the shielding on the Turbo exhaust , is it welded ?

[autofetish]

What are your plans for it once built?

With a Target Weight of 200kg without me on it and 800hp reliable I'm pushing for 4000Hp Per ton

Hopefully, compete in 1/2 mile and Mile events standing and flying at a competitive world level

Will,
What is the shielding on the Turbo exhaust , is it welded ?

Inconel tube heat shielded with dimpled 0.15mm stainless steel foil spot-welded and enclosing a microthermal layer to retain heat within the system

Its used in current 2019 Spec F1 Exhaust system. Pm I can put you in touch with a man that can.

Note the bead rollers that welds it on as it rolls very cool

Added cross bracing between top and bottom tail to strengthen the structure

Thanks, will send you a message

This is an epic project! I should be convincing you to put a skinny tire on the back and bring it to the salt

Coincidentally I don’t know how available and expensive inconel and other super alloy welding rod is over there, but I have a bunch of it here. Got it as a job lot when I bought a tig welder. I can’t use most of it and it’s out of tag to be used on an aircraft, but if anyone needs something odd for a project let me know and I’ll see about shipping cost (willing to bet that will be high).

Thank you for the kind offer on the rod but postage will make it unaffordable.

Have you been to salt ? I would love a shot one day

You could say I suffer from salt fever

I will call you I want to know more

Thanks to having detailed the engine all measurements could be pulled into CAD. computer-aided design.

This allowed us to design the rear engine mounting location and the Rear endplates.

We angled the rear axle plates forward 4.86° this ensures all forces and frame structure is designed about the load point towards the Engine output shaft.

Lots of holes drilled into the plates to alter rear ride height

will you be laying slightly more uphill this time so you don't need to bend your neck as far as before? i'd still love to see you looking down at a screen while a dash cam/gopro looks forwards at 200mph. that'd take some balls
neil.

We need a plan

ummm. How fast will this thing go ? (serious question)

[mygasser]

well the screen/dashcam idea is just an electric periscope. there's lots of remote vehicles run this way and it's just a matter of getting used to it i guess in the same way as you do with reversing cameras in modern cars when parking. it'd raise some eyebrows at the track for sure.
as for the speed issue drone aircraft are remotely operated with cameras and they're much faster than you'll ever go.

300mph
