I only skimmed it, so better to read link than take my word for it, but their model is assuming random directions which would seem to indicate a pattern hasn't significantly emerged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin gravity for the win, now I would expect you to get plenty of drag with the side against the barrier, next time add some rollers And you need to keep the front wheels straight, if the rubber hit the barrier it would not last long. But I assume its pretty smooth so cars don't snag on anything. More fun this was an video game tactic the driver had used then young.

Wow, the writer of that article must have gotten paid by the word. He could have to explained it in a paragraph. And did. Several times in slightly different phrasing, lol. I wonder if NASCAR would allow moar wheels on the side of the car to reduce friction Edited November 7, 2022 by darthgently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little bit weird to show it in air show but I really looking forward it can use in public entertainment Add: a video about another one play this. That guy is a former PLA soldier and now to be an instructor in special operation unit. "Because the second time the exhibitor didn't change the imaginary enemy positions, I played more confidently the second time. But this system can randomly change all the enemy positions and set the difficulty you want it to be. Even the process is very standardised: you must check your chamber after shooting.", said by the shooter in the video. And the staff said "the scoring mechanism of this system is different from the previous manual scoring, which was not so that objective due to subjective factors. But the system uses the most objective data to judge every step you take. Edited November 10, 2022 by steve9728 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hosting one at an Air Show makes sense; you get a lot of military-interested types in addition to simply plane-interested. >>>>>> Wish the Forum Did NOT Automatically Link Posts! (Steve's deserved its own response) <<<<<<< >>>>>> TOTALLY UNRELATED POST <<<<<<< Some folks look back to an imagined form of history and think 'man, times were good back then... wish we could go back'. I posit we're living in the best of times - regardless of all the problems we have. Point in favor of this opinion: Lab-made blood could have enormous potential for people with rare blood conditions | CNN Quote Scientists have transfused lab-made red blood cells into a human volunteer in a world-first trial that experts say has major potential for people with hard-to-match blood types or conditions such as sickle cell disease. The research could someday mean an end to long searches for compatible donors or dangerous transfusion reactions. We just keep getting better!
