ONBOARD GATIMAAN Exp. ! FASTEST TRAIN OF INDIA FULL JOURNEY
Full journey inside fastest train of India, none other than Gatimaan Express. Gatimaan Express is a semi high speed train that runs between Delhi and Agra in ...
No this is fastest at 160+ , normal express trains are 150 km...work is on to upgrade these to 200-250 in next few years and 2022 first bullet train between Mumbai and Ahmedabad ..distances in India are very big ..Average between big cities is 1400 Kim's ..Many area er 3500 Kim's so not easy
yes we didn't have...n this is the first 1 and bullet trains are there to come in a few year
Bodrodz Atomic Splinter Gravity Car Speed Run SEP 2012 84.4 MPH
Special thanks go out to Bodrodz crew, Ed Desmond and Ron Zito for helping make this run possible. Doug Anderson at the wheel. Car doesn't roll off until 4:30 ...
Just watch our crazy brit, Guy Martin. He is a motorbike racer, especially
known for the Isle of Man TT.
He has also done a tv show "Speed with Guy Martin" where he has attempted
and broken several world records.
He saw this video and thought 'I could beat that'.......and he did.
His new world record for a 'Gravity Racer' / soapbox racer now stand at
85.612 MPH set in France.
Why is it not shaped like a velomobile? A standard velomobile can reach
over 100km/h downhill and perhaps 60-70 on the flat depending on the rider.
The record breaking velomobiles can hit twice that on the flat. and I'm
sure they would be faster than this downhill.
Mozzman, I believe you might be wrong about the dynamics on that gravity
car vesrus a streetluge. While a luge has a smaller frontal area, it's
hardly 'tidy' (although Hickey's 'Eagle' sleds were kinda slick), and the
overall form on the gravity car is similar to a 1970's Le Mans racecar. The
added mass of bigger [and likely a tad faster] wheels, more framework, and
the bodywork may weigh in here too. As for steering without leaning into
the airflow, and braking without burning up Vans shoes, that also adds up
to more speed. It also means, that despite the awkward first push, this rig
is safer than a sled.
I've been streetluging since 1978, btw, and still have my 2nd and 3rd
sleds, one of which is still in use 33 years on. I have Roger Hickey to
thank for this dreadful addiction, but it's better than street-drugs, for
sure!
I'd love to know what the gradient of that road is!! Mt. Washington and,
Rt. 118 in N.H. are epic, as are Ascutney Mountain Rd., and Rt. 9 (East of
Wilmington, heading West) in Vermont, and a few spots in the upstate N.Y.
area. Ascutney has a 22% grade at it's steepest, making it damn quick in
boost, but Rt. 9 was way over 80 mph (how fast, we don't know, Dan rode
away from the chase vehicle, which was doing 80).
I know Rt.100A, going down to Rt. 100 from the Coolidge homestead had me
at 78 or so (I, also, lost my chase car at 80, but it was a diesel
Rabbit,it couldn't go any faster! even downhill,). That cost me not only a
new pair of Vans, but burned my feet trying to stop. Yup, would love wheel
actuated brakes on my luges; would've saved my knees a lot of cartelidge
over the years!
P.S.R.
No, Chaparrals had air ducts, pulling air under to create downforce. I was thinking more along the lines of a Lola T70.Speaking of airflow, three of my sled designs we built in '99 had curved fiberglass seatpans nestled in chromoly frame tubing. The idea was to use the curvature of the seatpan as a ground-effects airfoil (inverted wing-ish) and we used brake-bent sheet steel to mount the rear truck(s) the was folded such that it was a diffuser of that airflow. We noted these got more stable above 60 mph, and were darn tough to draft off of. Dan Pulling probably has the only that's still usable.
No!! All yours! Congrats. I just received your address so I will send this to Amazon and this will be sent out to you next week. I'll keep you posted :)
Great way 4 my wife 2 help me help her when she gets directionally
challenged. The app Glympse is very good but it's not so easy when you're
lost, scared, frustrated and have no patience 2 begin with.
*wipes eyes* Oh, ha ha :D. Long time since a video almost sent me rolling
to the floor laughing. I work on a farm, and altho we dont have auto
steering, I can totally imagine myself in that situation.
One could almost just add a few extra sensors and cameras, then just sit in
the comfort of ones home instead, if that would make it any better.
