I thought about making that joke too, but then remembered Shaun rides an Aprilia on the track. He's anything but slow.

Re: Cool nerdy stuff thread
Yeah, that was really meant to be the funny part. Well, that and the fact that an old and slow guy on a Triumph made it. Gotta get your laughs wherever you can find them.
Hey, he's instructing, leading and following me on Sunday, while recording video and audio. The miriad of things he can do for payback really boggle the mind. We'll see how creative he can be.

I know this qualifies as cool, and I think for nerdy car guys...
Koenigsegg Regera
There's a new player in the hybrid hypercar game thanks to the Koenigsegg Regera. What the folks at Koeniggsegg have created here is a doozy: Total output is rated at 1,500 hp, and the automaker estimates it'll reach 249 mph in less than 20 seconds.

Lockheed Martin is working on a laser weapon similar to the Navy's. Here is what it did to an F150 from a mile away.
Apparently they shot it while the engine was running. Needless to say the engine doesn't run anymore.
Link to Lockheed Press Release
Click for information & a video of the Navy's Laser Gun.

Cool, so all we have to do is get the enemy to prop their vehicles up on a tripod and leave the engines running.

Not with the Navy's Laser. Watch the video on that second link. They took out a moving boat, and a drone in flight. The Navy's Laser is aboard a deployed ship in the Persian Gulf.DarcShadow wrote:Cool, so all we have to do is get the enemy to prop their vehicles up on a tripod and leave the engines running.

Observed time dilatation - GPSDemonDuck wrote:Now that I do understand in a way. The perception of time on the moving ship relative to the ship not moving would be slower but it would not actually be slower. This is all because the light being used to tell the time. For instance to a person with their eyes open it would seem time was going slower because the light they are seeing with their eyes comes in at a slower rate because your traveling at half the speed of that light your looking at..... however in measurement the time would still be the same. The interesting thing is that if the stopped ship was to report the position of the moving ship using sight they would be off by half the speed the moving ship was traveling. In any case the only thing that changes is your position relative to that specific light because the light is always moving at the same speed but you are not.
I am not good at explaining stuff so my whole little thing up there might make no sense to anyone but me lol.

same capacity as lead acid, that's a big improvement but still way behind

Re: Cool nerdy stuff thread
Way behind. That's a huge leap for super capacitors. especially for something that is paper thin. Once you series a bunch of them, you have way more capacity, and much faster charging, than a lead acid battery, in the same amount of space.
