cheap ideas for improveing power

[Jspafford]

Though I must admit to "udder ignorance." It's true I've never milked a cow.

What!?! They don't teach that in your NASA training?

 

[krugford]

I got a good laugh out of that one. You're also not missing much, milking a cow isn't nearly as glamorous as they make it look on YouTube.

Found this like 2 days ago! lol

I'm sorry you suffer from udder ignorance makg, it's a terrible thing to have. Must have gotten from Levi, I hear it's contagious!

lol

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Dude, E *DOESN'T* equal mc^2. That comes out of popular literature, not out of any modern calculation.

The correct statement is

E^2 - p^2 c^2 = m^2 c^4

Look up "rest mass." It's an actual Relativistic invariant. You're only right if p=0. Which is a rather problematic statement if you're interested in actually calculating anything Relativistic.

Actually, I'm rather well versed in modern physics. That's why I can see through this point by point. I've been tested by better folks than you.



No assumption involved. Calculability is calculable. As is scaling. Computer scientists do it all the time. Though the really obvious stumbling block in a direct numerical calculation of the BTE in three space dimensions is the sheer size of the discretization. You'd need to be very, very clever (and you're not).

And it's VERY easy to come up with and state incalculable problems. A very well known one is the "travelling salesman" problem. Take a list of N cities placed arbitrarily and calculate the shortest route that includes them all and doesn't repeat. If N is larger than a few, guaranteeing the minimum is effectively impossible. A standard exercise for budding computer scientists is to calculate the number of permutations for N=25. Don't believe me? Well, you're welcome to try it....

Shoot Michael, and here I thought all of those years in NASA would have taught you something...

 

[RobbieD]

Well, cows are one thing, but at least Michael DOES know boobies.

 

[MAKG]

OMG, I'd better enroll in Course ARC-005120-34 Airborne Bovine Lactoextraction. You never know when you'll need a glass of fresh milk 6 hours into a night's flight.

I wonder if you can make the process faster by pulling 5 G's (not that I'd want to imagine actually doing that on a 747).

 

[Simple_serf]

YEah...I've spent more than my fair share of time working on vacumn pumps and milking machines....Let me know how that works out for you at 5g's....

I think I have figured out how the moderators and advisors work on this.The better you are at hiding perpetual ignorance the higher you are able to rank in the system.

Your logic is as faulty there as nearly everywhere else in this thread.

As I do recall, I just introduced an idea, then got slapped in the face. This would leave the responsibility of prooving yourselves correct first, not the other way around. Even during this argument, a few people let it slip that aftermarket ignigtion sytems do improve performance.

The OP asked what he could do to improve the power of his truck. You said to put in "better" coils, among other things. You were then disagreed with on that point and asked to prove of your statement/contention. Which you have since been unable to do. And have been merely relying on disinformation and name calling.

On a more personal note, how can you assume that a human cannot perform an equation that was written by a human?

I'm sure a human could express Pi out to the 100 millionth decimal point but, what would be the point?

I will not waste any more key strokes, for the sake of arguing with ignorance.

Well, perhaps you should use some other arguement than you own ignorance. You have been given plenty of space, and latitude, to make your case but, so far seem to have convinced no one, other than your "co-worker".

 

[Ric]

Maybe he had a minute of reasonable thought and realized he was lost and buried himself in his own BS.

 

[Pt_Ranger_V8]

Well, if our organizational structure is based on stupidity, and I'm the 'mod in charge of mods' (or something?!) does that make me REALLY stupid?

And what about Ric? ?!!!! or Ryan!!!



Holy Cow - Jim is fawkin so retarded you couldn't use his melon head for a tire wedge
















































Never argue with theoretical physicists... you can't ever tell when they're wrong

 

[Ozwynn]

wow. All I got from this thread (besides the fact that I now feel dumber than I thought I was) is that Michael has never milked a cow. That makes 2 things that we have in common that I know about.

 

[Dave R]

That makes 2 things that we have in common that I know about.

I guess that begs the question, what is the other?

Having not missed the 'pleasure' of milking a cow, I can tell you it is really not much fun. They are nothing but big, stupid, odiferous, creatures.

 

[backyardcustom]

haha

I will get started on the math and post pics of the papers soon, (it takes a good minute to perform these equations, if you've ever done one, you'd understand)

This is thermal velocity broke down

In this graph, assume that x-temperature

When a moving particle (air/fuel) inside the temp. gradient, collides with a medium (heat, or spark if you will) it will reach an equilibrium distrobution.

Now if you do your math on this, you will see the possible velocity in whcih, your "flame front" (as someone previously refered to as) will travel inside the combustion chamber.

BUT, there is still a variant that must be considered, the initial amount of heat. Thats where the rest of boltzmann's equation comes into play.

Just to my luck, someone has already made a nice little program that will graph the outcome, when more initial energy (heat) is introduced into the equation. Here is the link.

there is no way in hell that you did all this math before you bought the "mods" for your engine. i am not the smartest guy but i know this...you are lying if you did this math. what happend is you saw a tv commercial and ordered the part, you bolted it on, and now you feel stupid. its ok, happens to all of us. i am sorry that your pride is hurt this badly. my wife is laughing at you. have a nice day.

So I was reading a book that some of you guys may have heard of: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. There was a really interesting bit about ego in there, and it immediately made me think of this thread. For the hell of it, I'll type out the entire thing so you can truly appreciate it.

If you have a high evaluation of yourself then your ability to recognize new facts is weakened. Your ego isolates you from the Quality reality. When the facts show that you've just goofed, you're not as likely to admit it. When false information makes you look good, you're likely to believe it. On any mechanical repair job ego comes in for rough treatment. you're always being fooled, you're always making mistakes, and a mechanic who has a big ego to defend is at a terrific disadvantage. If you know enough mechanics to think of them as a group, and your observations coincide with mine, I think you'll agree that mechanics tend to be rather modest and quiet. There are exceptions, but generally if they're not quiet and modest at first, the work seems to make them that way. And skeptical. Attentive but skeptical. But not egotistic. There's no way to bullshit your way into looking good on a mechanical repair job, except with someone who doesn't know what you're doing.

The last line really made me laugh. I think Robert Pirsig wrote the aforementioned passage for this particular thread of this particular message board!

Wow! This statement can fit several people on this board. shady
