Two propellers generate CW torque, while the other two generate CCW torque, effectively canceling out the rotational forces. Without this counteraction, the drone would spin uncontrollably in the opposite direction of the motors—much like a helicopter with a damaged tail rotor (a scenario you’ve ...
“If you think of most of the aerodynamic surfaces on a car, you are really talking about drag and lift… drag and downforce. But on a bicycle, that aerodynamic surface is mainly turned vertical. So now your two big forces are drag and side force. Really, you’re basically looking at ...
A Top Fuel engine's power reaches the wheels in a fraction of a second. Top Fuel drivers endure G-forces similar to astronauts during a space shuttle launch. And almost just as quickly, they need to stop. Since these cars would wear through brakes pretty quickly at more than 300 miles ...
In either case, weight distribution and torque of the engine can cause uneven forces to be applied to the tires during a burnout. This can change how the wheels spin. Tires High performance tires will make burnouts harder and more expensive. Older or harder compound tires will make it easier...
A moving motorcycle is affected by gyroscopic forces that are unique to two-wheeled machines. As a result, new motorcyclists must develop the skills necessary to handle their machines and must be licensed before they can drive their motorcycles on the street. In particular, motorcycle riders must...
drag and downforce coefficients, as was the case up to this point. Instead, a different submodel of the aerodynamic component is chosen, which allows us to apply an aerodynamic map to the car. This map defines all aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the car depending on its attitude. ...
The ultimate Hot Wheels car when it comes to Forza Horizon 5, the ’12 Hot Wheels Bad to the Blade is Hot Wheels’ idea of a futuristic Formula 1 car. Made to withstand colossal g-forces, this car is a certified track monster ready to out-accelerate and out-grip any car on the grid...
Lift and drag are just two elements of aerodynamics forces that come into play inside a wind tunnel. For aircraft testing in particular, there are dozens of variables (like pitch, yaw, roll and many others), that can affect the outcome of experiments. Other factors also come into play durin...
But at high speeds, and on exceptionally windy days, air resistance (the forces acted upon a moving object by the air -- also defined as drag) has a tremendous effect on the way a car accelerates, handles and achieves fuel mileage. This where the science of aerodynamics comes into ...
Victims are slaves to circumstance. Good things happen, bad things happen, their lives are ruled by external forces. Effective people are never victims. They are always responsible for their successes and failures, because they’re responsible for everything that happens in their lives, regardless ...
