Top Fuel Insanity

Top Fuel Insanity 01/04/2005 06:02 PM

I'm posting this from the waiting lounge at my auto dealer where I've been paging through the latest Motor Trend. This month, they have a "By the numbers..." section on Top Fuel dragsters (you know, the long, narrow ones). Some insane statistics:

• The average Top Fuel engine puts out 7,500 b.h.p. This is up from the 3,000 they were putting out 15 years ago when I was in high school and obsessed with this stuff.

• A Top Fueler uses almost 23 gallons of gas for warm-up, burnout, and a single quarter-mile run. This is 85-percent nitromethane and 15-percent alcohol and costs about $18 a gallon.

• It takes 900 b.h.p. just to turn the supercharger on top of the motor. It pushes 45.5 psi of boost. A Porsche 911 Turbo S does about half that.

• Top Fuelers go from 0-60 in 0.84 seconds and cover the quarter mile in about 4.5 seconds.

• Craziest stat of all: the exhaust gases shot upwards out of the headers create 800 lbs. of downforce at full acceleration.

Someone give me one. It looks like I'd only need about two seconds to meet God himself.

Fuel Up The X-Wings

Fuel Up The X-Wings 07/29/2004 10:10 AM

The Cassini Space Probe has photographed a frightening visitor lurking in orbit of Saturn. NASA is trying to play it off as the moon Mimas.

Soon after orbital insertion, Cassini returned its best look yet at the heavily cratered moon Mimas (398 kilometers, 247 miles across). The enormous crater at the top of this image, named Herschel, is about 130 kilometers (80 miles) wide and 10 kilometers (6 miles) deep.

The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on July 3, 2004, from a distance of 1.7 million kilometers (1 million miles) from Mimas and at a Sun-Mimas-spacecraft, or phase angle of about 102 degrees. The image scale is 10 kilometers (6 miles) per pixel. The image has been magnified by a factor of two to aid visibility.

I don't buy it. I've seen that thing before.

Fuel Cell Generator

Fuel Cell Generator 01/01/2004 02:39 PM
Spotted on Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools:

This generator provides 1,000 watts of 120 volts AC with no noise and no emissions, so that it can be used indoors. It uses Ballard's fuel cell technology for this silence and cleanliness. You need either tanks of industrial hydrogen or commercial metal hydride canisters to power it. Might be useful for mission critical power in clean rooms, medical operations, or in places where quiet is also essential.

Burning jet fuel while going nowhere
over Richmond, VA

Burning jet fuel while going nowhere
over Richmond, VA 03/29/2005 09:25 AM

Today was my first day flying "Sky 12", Richmond, Virginia's only traffic helicopter.  Sky 12 is a Bell 206 Jet Ranger that has been fitted with a Wescam gyro-stabilized camera mount and a microwave link back to the TV station.  Normally the helicopter is operated by a single pilot who simultaneously talks to the TV news producer, aims the camera, and positions the aircraft.  However, for $125 per hour the contractor, HeloAir, sells the right seat to rated helicopter pilots who want to build 206 time or, like me, just have some fun. The left seat is occupied by an expert with thousands of flying hours, a flight instructor's rating, and years of experience doing TV work. This morning it was Alisa, one of only a few hundred female commercial helicopter pilots in the U.S. [Young female readers: this is a great career for a woman because there is a certain amount of preferential hiring on the basis of sex and employers want pilots who are as light as possible so that they can fill the rest of the ship with equipment or passengers (just don't expect to earn more than $60,000/year and much much less for the first five years)].

Starting a turbine engine is more complex and fraught with potential for expensive damage than starting a piston engine.  You begin by holding down the starter button and holding it until the turbine has been spun up to about 15%.  Then you roll the throttle to flight idle, which introduces fuel into the turbine.  You continue holding the starter button down until the turbine has reached 60%, at which point turning, burning and cooling become self-sustaining.  If at any time the turbine outlet temperature goes into the red, indicating a "hot start", you must roll the throttle back to "off" to take the fuel out of the system while again keeping the turbine rotating with the starter so that it gets cooling air.

Once started we lifted off from the ramp and climbed to 1200' to circle downtown Richmond and await instructions from the station. Upon being told to film a particular bridge we would try to approach it so that we were heading into the wind.  Then we brought the helicopter to an "out of ground effect" (mid-air) hover, with the airspeed coming down below 30 knots.  Remember that we were into the wind so even if we weren't moving over the ground we were still flying forward through the air to some extent.  This maneuver violates every principle that I had been taught in the light piston Robinson R22 during training.  The R22 has almost no inertia in the rotor system. If the engine quits the blades will spin down dangerously slow within about 1 second.  You must immediately lower the collective to begin gliding but also usually pull back on the cyclic to transfer some of the forward speed energy into higher blade RPM.  If you didn't have any forward airspeed to perform that flare the blades potentially could spin down below about 83% in which case you fall like a rock and can't recover without restarting the engine.  The Bell 206, by contrast, has a lot more inertia in the engine, spinning at 30,000 RPM, and the heavy rotor blades.  In the unlikely event that the engine were to quit there would be plenty of time to notice, react, lower the collective, and push the cyclic forward to regain airspeed to be used at the end of an autorotation the ground.

The Jet Ranger is mostly easier to fly than the R22 because it is so much heavier and therefore more stable.  Transitioning pilots will need to get used to a bit of lag after power adjustments are requested, watching the ball instead of yaw strings and using more anti-torque pedal in general, and the lack of feedback from the cyclic due to the hydraulic boosting.

One thing that I loved about the Jet Ranger was the lack of vibration in the ship overall and in the cyclic.  Some R22s feel like they are about to come apart and, even if you aren't worried, the vibration is fatiguing.  Whether that smoothness is worth an extra $500 per hour is another question...

Where's My Micro Fuel Cell?

Where's My Micro Fuel Cell? 05/27/2004 09:34 AM
Fuel Cell companies have been promising commercially available micro fuel cells for years. Robot builders have been anxiously awaiting them as an alternative to short-lived, expensive batteries. So where are they? According to a new smalltimes article, they've been plagued with performance and cost problems. Two companies claim they're getting close and, (suprise) are promising commercially available micro fuel cells shortly. Medis Technologies, Ltd claims they'll ship a micro fuel cell aimed at cell phones and digital cameras by the end of this year. The downside to the Medis cell is its use of a proprietary glycerol fuel instead of hydrogen or methanol. MTI Micro claims they'll ship a more conventional methanol fuel cell this year but for the industrial RFID reader market rather than consumer devices. Lack of pricing information has some analysts concerned cost may still be an issue and that the companies are rushing a product to market just to prove they can do so before their funding runs out.
