Cars get faster every day, and ever since we started driving them, we've always tried to go faster. But is there a limit to how fast a car can go? We did some math, made some calculations, and talked to some scientists to find out where the barriers are in making a car go faster. So what is the limiting factor? Is it the engine? The tires? You'll have to watch to the end to find out!

Better question is, how do you make a car go that fast without killing the driver if the slightest glitch happens. Jessie Combs died trying to break this record. A slight gust of wind, a tiny pebble the size of a pencil eraser, even turning the steering wheel a fraction a degree is all it takes for a disaster to occur.
Easy answer. You dont. Thats why we refer to these People as "Daredevils". No sane person would never try to do the sonic and go really really fast lol
thats why i enjoy motorcycles. 50 mph on an empty city street is exciting enough for this old guy.
Jessie Combs car was never ever going to achieve anything other than tragedy.....
@@originalforgeryWhy is that?
@@dextermorgan1Because it was built on a wing and a prayer with zero study to aerodynamic ground effects.
You don't just cut the wings off a fighter jet and stick some wheels on it....!
Are we just going to ignore the fact that these speed record "cars" are really just jet aircraft that they kept from taking off?
Yep, absolutely true.
😂Right!👍
@@keppozx You just watched a whole video explaining why it's an achievement. It's definitely not a car the actual record calls it a "land vehicle", but it's not just a jet either. It's a fun engineering challenge and it's flashy enough for a Red Bull Stratos style advertising push when the finally go for it which will recoup a lot of the cost.
They also used special aluminum wheels, regular tires will blow apart.
They are lol but cars can have jet engines and still be cars. Had it in the 60’s and 70’s for the technology.
Worked on a set of brake rotors back in 92/3 . Noticed thrust ssc on the drawings. In 98 discovered the company I worked for was a technical partner and that was when I discovered what the rotors were made for.
I am shocked it even had brakes.
First many thought you couldn’t fly faster than the speed of sound, it was done and than was doubled. A land vehicle couldn’t do it, then they did it. It takes huge knowledgeable effort and money to do this. A totally committed crew and huge amount of patience. That on top of not getting discouraged with the multiple failures experienced prior to cracking 1000 mph in a land vehicle.
I can see them making a energy drink called "liquid horsepower"
You’re not wrong there actually exists one.

I like that you're taking feedback and actually display kph values. You'll just need consistency.
4:55 omg it's so weird and harder to understand when the speed is not on the x axis. This way it would be more straightforward that the air resistance exponentially increases with the speed

Oh man! Thank you. I understand so much more right now. Not sure how to get this grin off of my face though. Lol!
I think we need a law that says, any cop who can catch that guy gets to keep the vehicle, though it must be disassembled and sold for parts. And of course the driver gets life in prison. I mean, if he has disturbed the peace of 2.6 billion people for a total of 100 hours each, how else is he going to make up for that beyond being immortal and put into community service for the rest of the lifetime of the Earth?
The problem is those including Craig breedloves (the spirit of America) car (that was disqualified) that he entered into the land speed record car event which means it has to have 4 wheels not 3. The 3 wheeled vehicles now have their own class so unless your vehicle has 4 wheels it can not attain a record in that class of 4 wheeled cars that the thrust SSC holds the record for. The thrusts SSC beat breedloves record anyway because it broke the sound barrier on land first.

@@lucasvanhamburg4937 Why? The Isreali Defense Force flew a mission up the Bakka Valley some years ago, led by a female Colonel of their Air Force- a half dozen planes, in line behind that female colonel took out 70+% of the Hezbollah air defense systems- at somewhere over the speed of sound and less than a thousand feet from the ground. The medicine says women handle G force better than men- it's a "biological thing"- sorta makes up for all the other superiority myths you've been brought up on, doesn't it?Actually, looking at your name,I suspect you should take up the qualifications of women with Angela Merkel- even if you don't agree with all of her politics, you have to respect her ability; those who haven't aren't much around the Bundestag any more. In Jessi Combs case, she was fully licensed and certified, the car was inspected and cleared by very skilled technicians of the sanctioning body, not the American Eagle team. In her early teens, she was doing things with dirt bikes that boys six to ten years older couldn't- and i rather doubt you could now. I'm not family, and I never met the lady, but I was deeply impressed by what she did, time after time. BTW, it is thought she hit a rock and lost surface contact- there is both the sanctioning bodies report and the County Sheriff's if you want to dig.
i didn't even know that she broke a land speed record, let alone she was trying to break a land speed record. she used to be on the power block on spike. always thought that she was a good looking lady. that's too bad.

I attended an educational show as an HP consultant for scientific calculators on 2012. At that time, the Bloodhound LSR project was being introduced as the SSC. So I took that project as my presentation theme.
After thoroughly studying math involved and running several calculations, I arrived at a speed figure of 1058.8 mph if the trial run was performed at 30 degrees Celsius ambient temperature and the 794-meter elevation at Hakskeen Pan.
I figured that the combined power available from the jet engine - rocket motor combination amounted to over 100,000 horsepower to overcome the 19-ton drag force exerted over the car body.
However, I could not consider the second-order effects stemming from the supersonic shock wave, being that the nonlinear analysis can not be undertaken without the aid of advanced hydrodynamic software.
A resounding "YES!" to the extended interview. I'd love to see that...top speed racing is the nuttiest.
Plus, I wonder why Bonneville wasn't used (environmental concerns, surface quality, track distance (or lack thereof), proximity to the location of build, weather, none of the above?, some combination of all, or some, of the above?).
Thanks for yet another informative and (relatively) in-depth B-2-B on a subject that just doesn't get the attention it deserves.
Cheers
We actually had to cut a section of the video talking about that, but in short its a combo of track quality and distance. For example, Black Rock Desert in Nevada used to be a good place to make an attempt back in the 90’s but the surface is less than ideal now because of, and this is 100% true, Burning Man - Jerry
Bonneville is a Salt Lake Bed that has been becoming increasingly less flat as moisture is increasing in the area. It's climate change that may have been brought on by the upward increase of event attendees...
A dried salt lake like Bonneville is simply too hard a surface for the vehicle and the driver at transonic speeds. That's why a dried mud surface works better: hard outer surface but softer material underneath.

These land speed records remind me of high school physics class way back in the stone age. The teacher hammered into our heads that 'deceleration' isn't a real physics term, that 'acceleration' simply means a change in velocity so you can have positive acceleration or negative acceleration.
It blew my mind when I saw The Expanse and they "accelerate backwards" in order to stop.
I felt a new realm of knowledge came to my life, because I never understood the practicality of negative acceleration in a world where you can just decelerate. Damn you, high school physics teacher.
@@IceSpoon that’s not the same, as they are literally accelerating in the opposite direction. Just because your car is rolling backwards down a hill, doesn’t mean you aren’t accelerating forwards, in order to stop that roll.

@@sirmounted8499 What that has to do with the curvature of the Earth remains a mystery.
Maybe we can make a series out of it.

@@TWEAKLET Oh! Now I get it! I thought everything going wrong was MY fault!! Phew! That's a relief! :)
I live in the city where Thrust 1 and 2 are displayed in our transport museum. They're so cool in person! :)
The problem being that it has to expend more energy to maintain traction than propulsion after a point to be "fastest driveable" like two engines, one with the force pointed almost straight down, and the other to propel it forward. The required power would consume far too much fuel to likely get past that barrier
like for the MATH!

So much respect to anybody with a PhD in CFD
No joke. I took basic fluid dynamics and it was pretty hard.
@@arthritisankle Yep, and basic fluid dynamics deals with incompressible fluids. Things get much more complicated with compressible fluids
@DispelTheMythThat's too deep a subject
@DispelTheMyth no
I have a masters in CFd 😁
In other words no car will ever do what you’re talking about unless you define “car” in such a way as to include horizontal flying rockets that have tires attached and are kept (more-or-less) in contact with the ground under them.
To call this contraction a car I would add the additional requirement that the tires have to maintain contact with the ground to the same extent that they had contact in the came proportion as the fastest production car when it reaches its top speed. In other words, it doesn’t count if the rocket is flying and the tires are just sort of touching the ground but mostly just skipping along for the ride.
Excellent TH-cam! Very informative. I had my Jaguar XJ12 up to 130+ MPH for an hour one time. The scariest part was how fast the other cars on the freeway approached me. At 130 I was still about 500 rpm below the car’s redline so there was a little more speed I might have squeezed out, but I couldn’t tell if the several cars on the freeway ahead of me were too close together for me to maneuver a 20’ long 6000 lbs machine around. Looking back it was fun. But at that moment it was scary.
A collab with SSC and ASUS would do it. The kings of weight loss and the kings of cooling would equal an engine thats never even heard of the word "warm" 🤣
Bloodhound engineers built a wheel that can handle something like 100,000Gs. That was no small feat.
it is full metal, no rubber

Indeed ...
Just the engineering behind making the solid billets, iirc, from a very carefully controlled alloy; heat treating it; tempering it back; then machining it to insane tolerances, was all a nightmare by itself.
Even the rocket motor, which provides the secondary power, ontop of the jet engine, to push it past 830mph, took several iterations.
And the twin analogue dials, built by Rolex, just in case of both primary, and secondary, electronic systems fail, took alot of effort to build, as not even the watches that the Apollo astronauts wore were subjected to the same calculated g-forces those two dials will experience at maximum thrust ... imagine building a mechanical watch that can operate with a shock loading of 8g+, abet able to maintain the same precision of timing ...
... that's how difficult building Bloodhound is, and why it has suffered setbacks, and delays, as all the teams involved, are quite literally pushing the envelope, as they are, essentially, building a fighter jet with the express purpose of _not_ taking off, even though it would be travelling, iirc, somewhere between V1, and Vr ...
@@nigelft that’s nuts, I didn’t not know that but I appreciate the information. Very interesting stuff and the way you present it too. This is something I’ll probably never forget.
Interesting! During the whole video I was wondering, if perhaps the wheels were the limiting factor.
@@Albert-lebt-anders same here. I was about to start looking up materials that could handle that force.

Thrust SSC was on my wall as a child. Still looks unbelievably cool.
He touched on it very shortly but downforce is really the limiting factor.
The faster the vehicle goes the more downforce that is applied keeping the vehicle from flying up off of the ground essentially making the tores flat from trying to keep it from flying above the ground out of control therefore reaching maximum downforce load.
