I looked the tri-y headers over but it seemed to me that they pair the wrong cylinders together for my motor.
With my cylinder configuration, I figured I would need the first and last cylinder of one side merged and the two middle cylinders of that same side merged. The tri-y headers merge...
Hello Mike,
To deal with the clearance/room issue I was thinking of stealing an idea from tri-y headers. I was planning on merging the two tubes that stay and merging the two tubes that cross similar to what is done on tri-y headers. I would go from 1 5/8" primaries, merged into a 2" pipe...
Let me begin by saying a I did not complete ME degree so please take it easy on me.
With that said, here is my dilemma. I want to make some 180 degree headers for my car. 1965 Mustang road race car if anyone cares. I’m having a hard time deciding which cylinders are the 180 degree pairs...
I'm not sure what to pick. In high school I wanted to be an mechanical engineer. I did engineering coursework for about 3 1/2 years and did very well before dropping out of college to join the military. Once I got out, I was way too far behind and had forgotten a lot of what I had learned to...
I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday but I came to this conclusion:
In a triangle all three sides add up to 180 degrees. If we were to have a triangle and let's say the largest angle is 120 degrees then the second largest angle could only be 60-1=59 degrees.
sin (120) > sin (59)
I...
I was asked by one of my professors to prove for the class why the largest side of the tringle corresponds to the largest angle of that triangle.
I was thinking of using law of sines to do so. Please let me know if I am wrong so that I do not look like a fool in front of class.
My...
Thank you. I actually ended up having a conversation with one of my physics professors about this. She also said that it was the mechanical energy from the hammer transferred into the metal and causing the molecules of the metal to vibrate and oscilate and thus converting the mechanical energy...
I was asked by some of my students (6th grade) why does metal heat up under pressure? For example, when you hammer a piece of metal repeatedly, it is hot to the touch.
Another thought I had too was regarding "the speed of light" "slows down" through a medium. Like someone said here earlier, the speed of the photons do not slow down. The light traveling through glass for example is being constantly refracted until the light escapes the medium. From one...
Here is a question I have and I'm probably in over my head here. If the gravity of a black hole prevents light from escaping would that not mean that gravity has an affect on the speed of light? Perhaps the gravity of a black hole is so massive that the gravity we experience here on Earth has...
