Thanks for the above post, it's my fault because I did not understand how to explain what I was looking for. Here is an example that sums up my belief which could be wrong and according to most it is but some have said it is correct but I believe I may have misinterpreted what they told me from...

Thanks for all the replies, I edited my previous post above # 35 to make it real short and sweet to my real ? and belief so for those interested please refer to it. I am admitting I am probably wrong about this but I am real curious. Thanks Jack for pointing out my error in above post . Any...

The reason I made this thread is because Ketch said it was a real interesting hypothesis and he would get together with his drag buddies and figure it out but that was several months ago, he claims he has the answer as of the other day and will post on it. Let me start fresh, I understand...

I understand all that and how to read a dyno, I am essentially wondering how much of it is broadness of the torque curve or the fact there is more torque coming off the crank. I understand the broader your power spread the fewer gears you need. Something does not seem right to me, like I was...

Let me go back and read all this Real Closely so I do not sound so stupid and make a mess and they lock the thread like last time. When I am saying back support they are saying the amount of twisting force coming off the crank, I know about the #'s and how to read it I think? and how broad the...

Thanks for all the replies I will read the links. What the engine builders are saying is you loose something ( POWER WISE ) in real physics when you are required to turn more RPM to make your HP. They claim the peak MPH is the same but the foundation of the power is not, hills or wind blows...

Ketch 22 said he would figure it out and get back with me but I think I may finally understand it, the motor builders were animate and said most people do not understand HP and if you do not have the torque you need you can only gear around that to a point. I was using a ship motor because...

I am real curious about this because if I can understand this then I can understand how to correctly read a dyno to a T and what it means. I don't mean to be silly but a ship motor in a Pro Stock car might be interesting... Thanks.

Thanks CW, yaa when I say the average HP I am talking how broad the torque curve is. The more low end you have the easier it is to get the load going from a dead stop so diesels have a major advantage here.. Here was a ? I asked to another poster on this board and he said it was interesting and...

Thanks, I was wondering how much of what people are perceiving is the fly wheel affect and the torque rise of the diesel engines makes it to where the average HP throughout the RPM operating range is much higher because it was designed to drive a big load and the MPH - HP is not as important...

I did a thread a long while back and I was like really confused because one group was saying it is and another said no. This was bouncing off different sites and I believe I now know why I was having a hard time. I believe the information I am looking for may be rare. I understand it much...

I just found it on UTube as the other poster did, I have been watching rocket vids and I thought this was worth a talk. I remember reading a magazine or something back years ago where in the article after the space shuttle was in operation engineers were finally admitting under the stresses of...

The Soviets have been known to think big but even they would have been in total awe of such a flying beast with a 1.1 million pound payload capacity.

Just curious as to weather or not this was very feasible and if so would this have been a much better style platform to get the space program going for a heavy launch system. A lot of people feel the Shuttle was the wrong way to go for long term reliable reusable launch system. Just curious as...

I ran into the Sea Dragon Rocket that was cooked up on paper in 1962, could this have worked efficiently and if so could it have made it to where we would have been much further along in manned space and the ability to launch over sized payloads... Thanks...
