At maximum, minimum or average?Daniel Abramow said:a loop that pulls around 4 G's
No, I believe it minimises jerk, which is the rate of change of acceleration.Daniel Abramow said:I found that the Clothoid loop reduces G forces
So how strong is the centripetal/centrifugal force?Daniel Abramow said:Well the maximum G force is 4
In order to design a loop that can pull 4 G's, the loop must have a radius of at least 10 meters and a height of at least 4 meters. Additionally, the loop must have a smooth transition into and out of the loop to prevent any abrupt changes in acceleration.
The maximum speed that a car can reach in a 4 G's loop depends on various factors such as the mass of the car, the radius and height of the loop, and the coefficient of friction between the car and the track. Generally, the higher the mass and the smaller the loop, the lower the maximum speed will be.
The angle of the loop does not directly affect the G-force experienced by a car. The G-force experienced is determined by the radius and height of the loop and the car's speed. However, a steeper angle may require a higher initial speed to successfully complete the loop.
When designing a loop for 4 G's, it is important to consider safety precautions such as ensuring the loop is structurally sound and can withstand the forces exerted on it, having proper restraints for passengers, and having emergency brakes in case the car loses speed or control during the loop.
The same loop designed for 4 G's can potentially be used for higher G-forces, but it is not recommended unless the loop is specifically designed and tested for those higher forces. The loop may need to be bigger or have different angles and transitions to safely handle higher G-forces.
