AI Thread Summary
Land Rover's innovative "Vanishing" hood utilizes a heads-up display (HUD) and front-facing cameras to enhance driver visibility, particularly in off-road situations. This technology allows drivers to see what is obstructed by the hood, improving navigation over rough terrain. The discussion highlights the effectiveness of this feature, suggesting it could also display tire position and angle for better control. Users appreciate the clever application of existing technology to enhance safety and performance. Overall, this advancement represents a significant step in off-road driving capabilities.

That was a fairly tame looking demo. This is what it's meant for. Note the low tech "head out of the window" method.

Yeah, hopefully it gives a good view of what your tires are about to roll over, and it would be nice if they could show the angle/position of the tires as well. :smile:
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below.

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
