    for those who dont know, im sure these guys do but a Jet car does not have actual power. This means that the Dragster obviously has the motor, driveshaft and all that which is what works the rear tires, and has the instant launch when you stomp the pedal, but a Jet Car doesnt. this is why it takes so long and why they dont always win races because it takes a little bit for the jet to actually produce thrust and then stay there.

    • @paradiselost9946
      @paradiselost9946 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The diesel has torque of varying value across a limited rpm range, and that power has to be transferred to wheels, and finally the limit being the grip they have with the tarmac. Needs weight, and needs power to accelerate that weight... catch22.
      The turbine makes a constant push. Say 100kg of thrust.
      A 1000kg vehicle would accelerate at 0.1g.
      With 1000kg of thrust, 1g. Ignore friction...
      And that push, that acceleration rate, continues. Regardless of speed. Its logarithmic. Just like falling. Every second, faster than before...

      Not really. Top fuel is just shy of 340 mph. Jet dragsters are in the same range.
      Limited by the distance and the top fuel destroying itself in the first second of the run (spark plugs are fried, the clutch is fused, they lose a piston before finished, etc).

      When I saw the "cannonball express" (jet dragster) in person: I talked with the team and driver. They were running #2 diesel in it. Said they burn about 30-35 gallons per run of diesel....Of course most of it is from showing off with smoke and afterburner before getting up to the tree. Jet fuel is basically just high cetane diesel stripped of the lubricity and green/red dye. A diesel engine will run on it, but it will likely destroy the injectors and injection pump over time due to lack of lubrication in the fuel.

    Wow amazing how less powerful a fuel diesel is than even Methanol. Fun fact: gasoline actually has a higher energy density than the nitromethane that the top fuel dragsters and funny cars burn, the reason they get more POWER from the nitromethane is that within that fuel comes more oxygen so its not just the oxygen in the air, but also in the fuel that contributes to combustion power. Knowing that, now imagine the forest fires in the time we can use insect fossils to prove the atmosphere wasn't 23% oxygen like now, but rather closer to *50%!* Those fires must have been AMAZING.

    I remember when jets used to match race Nitro FC's & Dragsters as well as TA/FC's & Dragsters. Then again, I remember when my dad & his buddies ran a FE BB/GD. So yeah, I'm a little old. 🙂

    The jet dragsters are so simple, no transmission, no gears, just a huge turbojet engine a lightweight chassis and 20 ft of flames coming from the back end. That would be a fun ride.

    Happened just like I thought. That jet engine could have done that all night long as long as you brought enough fuel. What's even more interesting, is the jet did that without any mechanical connection to the tarmac. It took talent to control that torque at the tree! His brakes where glowing on that last burnout! (I think it was his brakes?)

      Jet-A kerosene is essentially a narrower refined diesel. You need that e.g. for the low temperatures (~-50 deg at altitude). Conversely you can run any Diesel engine on jet-A.

    but more on the physics side, would the diesel dragster be faster because it's pulling the ground as of the jet is pushing the air?? my thought is more on the side of the diesel would be quicker to start but the jet would be quicker on top speed (due to the short distance it may be too quick to tell)
