    There is pretty much 0 chance any insurance company will accept a policy on a car that is designed to lose contact with the road surface - and the impact that has on direction control and braking. But cold thrusters that turn on briefly to shorten braking distances from higher speeds (by thrusting against the direction of travel or vertically downward), increases cornering grip or provide a bit extra acceleration during passing...that will be of great interest.

      @Briggsian Před 2 měsíci +2

      It's highly unlikely that there is sufficient volume available in the car to allow for a long duration impulse from a thruster with sufficient force to aid cornering. Last thing you'd want is to lose grip part way through a turn because the thrust only lasts a fraction of a second. Realistically, this would only be beneficial for acceleration runs, the tank would be completely emptied with each launch, and it would take a few minutes between runs to refill the tanks and reheat the thruster system. The thrusters would also be incredibly loud, so you'd definitely want ear protection for anyone nearby. Just think about how loud an air blow gun is (108db), and those only produce about 1 pound of thrust. Sound regulations limit passenger cars to between 85 and 95db.

    Roller coaster enthusiast here, the fastest accelerating in the world is Do-Dodonpa in Japan, it goes 0-112 mph in 1.56 seconds. Roaster is slow as shit aha.
    Do-Dodonpa is currently not operating though as people kept sustaining injuries from the acceleration G force (and probably not having their heads back). The fastest accelerating coaster currently operating is possibly Stealth at Thorpe Park which does 0-80mph in 1.9 seconds, so most likely thats 0-60 in under 1.5 too.
    Also at 26:49 this is incorrect, these G force numbers refer to vertical acceleration, not forwards. The reason you black out is the blood draining from your brain which only happens at these G forces when it's vertical. So this would only happen in a fast car if you were laid on your front.

    A cool feature would be to somehow charge the compressed tanks from braking the car. Basically the inertual energy ofthe cars to stop will push air into the tanks abd charge the thrusters. It should be possible in theory. Even to push a slight amount of air inside it due to being high pressure would make that feasible. This would limit the possibility to use the thrusters very often but would not require charging anymore. And would use the kindetic energy lost when stopping the car either way. Instead of charging the batteries.

    Makes more sense to aim the thrusters up and momentarily increase downforce in turns then to point them down and make it hop. could even thrust only on the inside of the turn to increase the grip on the inside unloaded tyres. But the point is mute, the size/weight of the tanks required to last a lap/multiple laps would be impractical, street use would be moronic. On board compressors would just make this worse.

    Cold air thrusters. The air was supposed to be pressured into a carbon wrapped pressure chamber at about 6000psi (crazy high) and if you want this package you lose the back seats. I can imagine 2 thrusters pointing down to give downforce. 2 pointing back to give back to improve acceleration. 2 up-front for braking. and 2 each side for steering.

      @@larryc1616 sorry, but that makes no sense. The only way that gas thrusters will have an effect is when they point in the opposite direction of the direction in which you want to accelerate (they can be angled, but doesn’t make much sense. They are also beneficial when pointing upwards to generate downforce to increase tire grip, but again doesn’t really make sense for acceleration). Acceleration via tires is limited by grip only, not power. But you can add any type of additional acceleration force to the car that does not have to get translated to the ground via the tire. Pointing the thrusters down makes absolutely no sense at all for acceleration. It’s worsening it. Just think in the extreme. When the force of the thrusters is equal to the weight, the resulting weight of the car is 0kg and now trying to accelerate the car with the tires won’t even be possible because the tires are not able to put any force on the road because they will always just start slipping

    Engineering Explained did a great video on the feasibility of the thrusters a year or two ago. The tanks and compressor required would take up a significant amount of space (the entirety of the rear passenger volume) for what would amount to a gimmick. The thrusters would be exceptionally loud and illegal to use pretty much anywhere outside of select dragstrips. They would also be outright dangerous under braking or while turning, as those are times when consistent acceleration/deceleration is vital to maintaining good vehicle control. Imagine going through a long sweeper at high speed and then instantly washing out and crashing because you no longer have the lateral acceleration from the thrusters helping your tires...

    @geemy9675 Před 2 měsíci

    pushing the car down doesn't require less horsepower to accelerate the car, actually slightly more. it just increase downforce, thus how much horsepower you can transfer from the tires to the ground. its like thinking putting a huge wing on your car is going to make it faster in a straight line
    also thrusters will generate a certain thrust that at a given speed could be expressed in horsepower, but thats not how you measure the performance of thrusters.
    the roadster without thrusters is advertised 1.9s 0-60mph, that is around 1.5G
    to fo under 1s, 2.8G, the spacex version will need at least 1.3G of thrust to go under 1s. I'm not even counting the weight of the system.
    if the roaster is about 5000lbs, that's about 65000lb of thrust, thus why the car would be able to fly if thrusters under the car have similar thrust
    if the exhaust velocity is around 600m/s which ive read somewhere, it would mean abut 100lbs of air being expelled every second.
    at 10000 psi that is ~50kg/s or 100lbs/s
    then you have to consider that when tank starts to lose pressure, gas wil exhaust slower, creating less thrust/ lb of air, so youd need probably double the amount of air in the tank (last half is not used. even at 10000psi that means 30 gallons air tank for 1 sec of thrust. the tank would hold 200lbs of air when full and be half empty after 1s (one 0-60)
    The biggest bottleneck will be the time (and energy) required to pressurize back the compressed air tank. also if the quicker the compressor, the bigger/heavier/noisier it will be.
    are you ready to lose dozens of miles of range just for one second of acceleration, and then hear a loud air compressor for 15 minutes? it's like filling a scuba tank, with a compressor, except higher pressure, and bigger. its a huge amount of noise & heat generated
