Modern tunnels provide much smoother airflow thanks to a fundamental design that incorporates five basic sections: the settling chamber, contraction cone, test section, diffuser and drive section. Air is a swirling, chaotic mess as it enters the tunnel. The settling chamber does exactly what its ...
number of different things, not just how powerful and efficient the engine is overall, but how much power it makes at different speeds: whether it's optimized for high power at high speed (as in a race car) or high power and fuel economy at lower speeds (as in a long-distance truck)...
Imagine a tube taller than the Statue of Liberty, weighing as much as 24 fully loaded 747s and kicking out the horsepower equivalent of 13,400 locomotives, and you begin to get the picture. At build-out, the SLS will tower an additional 80 feet (24 meters) and tip the scales at ...
The Sherman compared well to the other tanks in its weight class. It even fared well against vehicles much larger when you take in the whole picture. The US spent a lot of money lavishly equipping these tanks, even the lend-lease tanks shipped with...
