    Speed Racer is basically the strange drugs enhanced version of Hot Wheels, but if the drugs were also on drugs and even ones from alternate universes.
    Also when I first saw this movie, I actually felt like I was extremely drunk, high, and sick at the same time, just from looking at the movie for like a minute.

    I believe the main engine is put in the front and the wheels in the front steer. The wheels in the back are completely independent and the jet engine in the back is mainly just to push the car to go faster. There are scenes in the movie where you'll see the jet engines are not on but the cars are still going.

      Im not 100% but i think thats saved for performance cars because its so sensitive. Like you know how sensitive steering is already on the freeway? I think Itd be like that times 2, plus the systems complexity would make parts and repair much more expensive.
      Itd be AMAZING on a track car tho

  • @twistedyogert

    There is a type of gas-turbine engine configuration called a turboshaft where the output of the turbine is mated through gears to its output shaft. The Mach-6 could be using this type of engine to power all four wheels while also dumping the exhaust overboard out the back of the vehicle to produce thrust for extra speed. Since the turbines would need to spool up to reach the desired RPM selected by the driver, electric motors could be used to give the car a quick kick to get moving before the main engine takes over.

  • @Fireheart318
    @Fireheart318 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Yes! Finally someone makes a video on this! You touched on basically every point I would’ve made if I wrote it, even the bits about tires melting and open cockpits being an awful idea!
    That said, I’ve got a few small criticisms (more nit-picky than anything) -
    What you said about the design of T-180s was basically spot-on, except I feel like you mis-represented the steering a lil bit: the wheels are USUALLY just used for corrections, but they can still steer like a normal car, especially at lower speeds. This is actually the biggest difference between the Mach 4 and Mach 6 - The 4 didn’t have 360 steering, while the 6 does. You could argue that Rex is a more impressive driver than Speed bc the 6 is a better car, but I’m not gonna go there.
    While on the topic of T-180s, if I was building one, I’d put some intakes underneath the car to suck it down to the ground and increase grip. The cars in the movie don’t do that, but they should.
    Also, the jet-turning bit is called thrust vectoring, not thrust reversing. They’re similar in what they do, but the mechanisms are WILDLY different. Rockets and fighter jets both use thrust vectoring (sometimes called gimbaling) to steer in pretty much the same way T-180s do, except only the engine moves, not the entire vehicle (save for rockets that are already in space (and even then)). Passenger/cargo aircraft are generally the only vehicles that use thrust reversers, as far as I know. T-180s can do both, but technically lack thrust vectoring AND thrust reversers (they just have really weird steering that does the same thing).
    Also, did you get the T-180 steering bit from the wiki or subreddit, by chance? I wrote that part and just wanted to thank you for shining more light on it. It’s a seriously overlooked part of the movie!

    • @spoilerz9795
      @spoilerz9795  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Glad to see someone else that appreciates the mechanics of this as much as I do! And thats a good point about the thrust vectoring vs reversal. Not gonna lie, I didn't know a single thing about jets before making this video so you're probably right. As for taking stuff from the wiki, I honestly am not sure, since the video was made about a year ago. Do you want me to give credit in the video to you? I seriously don't mind!

    I know this is super late, but as someone with some aeronautical engineering know how, I think you got terms thrust reversal and thrust vectoring mixed up. Mach 6 seems to have only one jet exhaust with no visible reversals on the engine itself, and no visible aero that would let the car steer like a jet with its control surfaces. My best guess is that Mach 6 uses some sort of thrust vectoring system, but main issue with that is that there is no visible thrust vector system like on a Sukhoi SU-25. Most likely the thrust vectoring is achieved with gimballing the engine outlet nozzle itself like on the Saturn V's first stage F5 rocket engines

      @@spoilerz9795 As far as the engine in the movie is depicted it actually looks and works closer to a rocket engine, since I'm not sure whether the Mach 6 has an inlet to suck in air for the engine to function, so that's why it's most likely a rocket engine, and the steering on it is as simple as moving the nozzle itself. One other slight issue I have is that jump start scene, depending on the rocket engine it's possible to throttle it up and down (I'm assuming Mach 6 is using liquid fuel rocket engine) however it wouldn't be instant as depicted since liquid fuel rocket engine needs to spool up it's turbopumps to get the engine running, even at low thrust, it's faster to spool than a jet engine, but not instant

    Ok, staring at me and playing Jeopardy WAS hilarious. Subbed for that.
    Also, Speed drove the Mach 6 in the final race, which the Racer family built (NOT rebuilt).
    The Mach 5 was his car for the Caza Christo. I don't think it was actually destroyed, but the mods on it were certainly illegal, and only added due to the absolute certainty that everyone else in that race was also running illegal mods with intent to kill or at least severely maim.
    As far as the rules go....aside from the jump jacks, there are no legal mods for the cars.
    As for HOW the cars put power to the wheels, I immediately suspected electric drive wheels, powered by alternators on the jet engine.
    Did you notice that the cars appear to have 4 pedals? My theory is that the fourth is there to change the steering mode from a more standard style to the slippery 180 all wheel turning. I suspect that if it works that way, it's on an active engagement system that requires you keep the pedal pushed in while using it.
    My theory concerning the emergency eject system is that bubbles that are exposed to outside air harden and elasticize, while the bubbles facing the driver pop to release oxygen. The bubble's job is to keep the driver intact long enough to get clear of the track, and likely dissolves within a minute of stopping. If you'll recall, Royalton's driver fell through the emergency bubble hole near where Speed stalled out. There's clearly a bubble recovery system in play there.
    While we're talking about emergency eject systems, why didn't you touch on Acceleracer's EDR device, or Emergency Driver Return? Pork Chop should be very, very, VERY splattered, and those who used it after him should still be in a world of hurt.

    • @saxmd4912
      @saxmd4912 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      i like the idea of electric engines for the instant thrust forward, but my only problem with that system is that we hear engine noises all the time. even in the opening race, we hear engine roars coming from not just the mach 6, but other cars on the track as well.
      the front engine probably produces enough thrust to keep the car moving where a jet engine would not be viable (at the beginning of a race, in tight turns, and even the dog bowl section of the thunderhead track) and then a jet engine would take over on long straights or wider turns to keep the car at a high speed. (we even see this happen as speed and the ghost of rex come out of a turn and enter the straight that leads to the finish line. one shot where the jet engines are off, and the next shot, the engines are on)
      the cars having pedals control where thrust comes from probably wouldnt be a very good idea, due to how close the pedals are and how small the surfaces are on the pedals, itd be pretty easy to accidentally slip and activate the jet engine, sending you off the track. i reckon that the fourth pedal (furthest to the right) would be controlling the jet engine exhaust cone. there are exhaust cones for jet engine that are designed to open and close, forcing the exhaust to come out at a more condensed pace, forcing the car forward faster (like jamming your finger into the end of a garden hose. the water comes out harder, which causes the nozzle to push harder in the other direction) I'm willing to bet that the fourth pedal controls the exhaust cone, which causes the car to accelerate when the pedal is pushed down and the cone tightened.
      as for when the jet engine would take over for thrust, id put that square on the transmission. my guess is that theres an extra selection on that gear lever that engages neutral, and allows the jet engine to take over the main thrust. the jet engine might even begin spooling around 5th or 6th gear (we see the jet engine light up when speed jumpstarts the mach 6 after spinning out)
