I needed to build a water rocket that would be aerodynamic, light, and have the ability to glide down to elongate flight time. I started out researching different bottle rocket designs to find what would work best. While researching, I found that having a slimmer bottle on top of the base bottle, versus having two regular sized soda bottles would be more aerodynamic and would allow me to give the rocket a more “bullet” shaped body. When looking at fins, those with larger fins worked more…
In vitro aerodynamic performance testing using Next Generation Impactor™ (NGI™) The aerodynamic behaviour of the spray dried powders from the Aerolizer® device (Novartis, Surrey, UK) was assessed using the Next Generation Impactor (NGI; Copley Scientific, Nottingham, UK). NGI setup comprises of a stainless steel induction port attached with a mouthpiece adaptor, eight removable stainless steel collection cups located at seven plus a micro orifice collector (MOC) stages, a high capacity vacuum…
some very interesting information. Such as, how dragster cars are made, how much time it takes to make, why it was created, how many people do it and I also learned some new words that boosted up my vocabulary such as force, thrust, drag, lift, aerodynamics and CO2. If you don’t know what those words mean I will gladly tell you. Dragster racing is when automobiles or motorcycles go head to head in an acceleration race. Force is the physical power or strength possessed by a living thing. CO2 is…
The Nissan Sentra has been designed with a very cutting-edge aerodynamic exterior that allows it to cut through the wind and have less aerodynamic drag than the more boxy appearance of the Toyota Corolla. Besides offering better aerodynamics than the Corolla, the 2018 Nissan Sentra outperforms its competition in the area of overall engine power. The engine of the Nissan Sentra puts out a very stout…
are small crafted cars that are powered by a small co2 canister thing and can be very fun to do. It has many things to it and many components to making a successful co2 dragster. A few components you will need to think of are very important like aerodynamics, weight, lift drag and more things to make a dragster fast. Co2 drag racing also has steps to it before getting to the real race like designing,…
to have a pattern where they are within 5 miles of each other for 3-4 years, then they increase by 8- 10 miles per hour. This shows that nothing dramatically changed during this period and then something about the cars changed making them more aerodynamic, so they went faster. The most current race time was in 2016. The drivers, N.Jani, R.Dumas, and M.Lieb, drove the Porsche 919 Hybrid, which went 135.44 miles per hour. The same car won the year before in 2015 with an even better time of 139.31…
Earth off a radical skateboard park ramp. Thus item number one can be overcome. Gravity can be beaten by proper use of airflows, aerodynamics, ground cushion, low pressure and perhaps air-ionization thickening strategies.…
Chevrolet has finally taken the wraps off its newest version of Camaro, the high-performance 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. The company claims that the new Camaro model delivers unprecedented levels of technology, refinement, track capability, and straight-line acceleration. The Camaro ZL1 is the first GM car to offer the new 10-speed automatic transmission, and its 200 pounds lighter than its predecessor thanks to the new vehicle architecture called Alpha platform lighter architecture that…
concept thought of was aerodynamics. Many European race car companies had been testing aerodynamics for years. Race cars needed to be as sleek as possible so they could slip faster through the air. But they also had to be made a certain way so they could stay on the ground and not take off like a plane. Most race cars can achieve speeds close or past the average speed a plane takes off at. After race cars were using wind tunnels and other technology to help with aerodynamics, the automakers…
live the dream that I had envisioned. So, I started to look out for various ways to better myself. I spent months and months in a hypnotic trance and finally realized that aerodynamics excited me more. Hence I chose my major as aerodynamics. Makin a choice is easy, sticking to it is always tedious. But I realized that the aerodynamics department is one of the best and the strongest in XXXXXX and it will continue to keep me excited about it.[will add on more about the department of the college]…
