Freaking amazing.

That Ferrari is something else. 100cc flat-twelve engine. Twelve cylinders. Fuel injected. And it RUNS. And it SOUNDS LIKE A FERRARI!!

Thread should be titled Extreme Engineering. Engineering is art. Bodywork and airframes require excellent sculpting skills.

Engineering is very cool, as I finally learned while autoracing in Europe. Lower middle class folks designing and manufacturing racing cars in their garages and sheds. Small shops designing and machining their own castings. Some of the college kids who built their own racecars graduated to owning large factories building F1 and Indy cars in my tiny town.

A guy in my engineering class had his own CADCAM machine shop at home with his brothers, and designed and built jet turbines for his model jet aircraft. I've got my own machine shop, but it's not CADCAM. I have to retake 4 years of highschool math before I'm allowed to take ANY college classes on ANY topic (even 2-year paralegal degree), since all college classes require calculus as prerequisite in TN. So no CADCAM classes allowed until I go through math hell first. CADCAM itself is now quite "cheap", just using add-on motors and a $300 computer.

My engineering teachers in USA told our class there will be no more engineering jobs in Tennessee within 10 years. That was 9 years ago.

Saturn has now gone out of business, TN Saturn plant closed, thanks to Obama seizing Govt Motors. Saturn was GM's ONLY small car, and Obama killed it. Damn NWO UN!

Bah, I'd class GM as suicide, rather than murder, cause they did in effect do it to themselves.

These widgets make our scale model of our solar powered zeppelin look pretty shoddy though, damned impressive - you oughta submit a guest article on it for DamnInteresting.com - they'd love it.

As for the math hell being required for *any* degree, even in fields that have shit to do with math, as a Discalc (someone with a conceptual inability to do higher math) it's been part of why I never went - they do that shit to pad out the tuition and sink you hopelessly into debt so you have to play ball with the corporate empire.

I'm not a big team player in that fashion, as mentioned earlier I don't even possess a pilots license, thankfully not needing one for an ultralite, and discovered there's an unlisted "airport" for them things down the road from the salvage yard I just picked up some parts from - it's very tempting to go get the dominator outta storage even if I am too damn old for it, really.

Far as self-built cars goes, there's quite a few of em around here, but the most interesting is a Stirling-Fluidyne powered jobbie one of the geek farm owns, which is gonna be a summer project for the rest of em cause they think they can get 50MPG out of it AND get it to run on anything whatever that'll burn, if they can modify the compression unit to allow it to run diesel or SVO.

Fun stuff.

Keep the Shiny side up

Thank you PN. That's some great stuff. You gotta admire the folks who'll spend the time to make things like that...just before you wonder when they're going to be carted off to the funny farm.

I have a vote and I'm not afraid to use it!

I can't imagine how anyone can make those things.
My eyes are so bad now I can't even SEE them.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

So when is someone going to make a Serenity model that flies? That would be awesome.

When the laws of aerodynamics change so that Serenity is capable of flight in the real world ? :p

Heh, reminds me of a comment made by one of the Pegasus A-4 turbine design team.

Now that's a challenge. Too bad I'm not strange enough to take it on. Maybe there's someone out there.

Hi Res: www.aparato.tv/videos/cae457df160d8a65d31952cda4232257/

How we did it?

First, before I mistakenly cause a "World of the Worlds" radio program situation, giant robots have not really invaded Montevideo (jeje).

But, they have in this 5-min film called "Ataque de pánico", made by Uruguayan director Fede Álvarez. While the story of the movie is destruction, his own story is quite inspiring.

He made the film for only US$300, but then he put it on the Internet, showed it around Hollywood, and now a huge production company has asked him to make a feature-length version with a budget of over $30 million.

YouTube video leads to Hollywood contract
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8417789.stm

PS: Those are $5,000 videocams. Probably a $20,000 equipment investment, minimum.

Hollywood wants to outsource, so $30M saves them $60M.

NWO pays for predictive programming, so when civilization is destroyed it will seem normal (they all lie down). But RW robots will be run by NWO remote control.

Seen that already. The robots aren't the best ever, I was little disappointed until the explosions and collapsing buildings, because that is absolutely top notch.

This is pretty cool too

My current project is a 1/6th scale Chevrolet 327 cu in V8. Based on a 1964 365 hp Corvette motor, measurements have been taken from an actual engine as to be most accurate. The head and block began as billet aluminum that have been painstakingly machined on a Bridgeport-style mill. The 5-main crank has real babbit bearings, while the cam is a scale 30-30 Duntov.
