Want To Go Fast

[monkii]

But wouldnt you need 100,000mph tape with the rocket engine? I mean all the money putting the rocket on there and your bogs going to fall out if you go over 100mph. Come on!!

 

i think we're going for acceleration here. the gear ratios are set to top out at 100mph.

Hey, i'm drawin up the Blue prints for this puppy, stand by.........

Fifty rolls of 100mph tape gives it the ability to do 5,000mph. I suppose I did underestimate it somewhat. According to Star Trek, Warp One is the speed of light, Warp Two is ten times Warp One, Warp Three is ten times Warp Two, etc. Therefore Warp Ten (which is everywhere in the universe at once) is [The Speed of Light]x10⁹. The speed of light (in a vacuum) is approximately 3x10⁸m/s. Therefore Warp Ten is 3x10¹⁷m/s, which is 3x10¹⁴km/s, which is 83,333,333,333km/h. That's 51,759,834,369mph, so 517,598,344 rolls of 100mph tape should to the trick. :'(

 

I have too much time. :lol:

[WinKE55]

Think my brain exploded.

[monkii]

or 517,598,344 rolls of tape could be replaced by 2 zipties...

[ae174agze]

where are we gonna get it from

 

http://www.botachtactical.com/100mihota.html

 

ok so racing tape aye that 517,598,344 rolls

if 2 rolls are $9.95 then 517,598,344 devided by 2 which is 258 799 172 then times that by $9.95

thats going to cost approximatly $2 575 051 761.40 thats US by the way as well so convert that to AUD

using the current currency conversion rate that works out to be somewhere around 2,853,032,701.70 AUD

ok so thats nelly 3 billion on racing tape

and it comes in armey camo so we can hide

i wonder if they combine postage ???

[ae174agze]

wow i just realised that thats a shit load of tape right

so the average tape would be 2 inch by about lets say 15cm

 

LWH 15*15*5

 

coz its a circle there packing ablitly is not good

lets pretend that they pack them in square boxes that are 15 by 15 by 5cm

so 15 by 15 by 5 is = 1125cm/\2 convert that to leters thats 1.125L so one roll of tape is 1.125L

thats 582 298 137 L of space they take up thats a f@$k load :'(

 

so using the 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA --- ZRE152R Levin ZR Hatchback 5dr Man 6sp 1.8i the boot capacity is 283 L so to deliver them in one go where gonna need

2057590.5 corollas

 

where gonna need 2.05 million 08 corollas to deliver the tape in one go

thats gonna cost $60 698 922 408.12

so 60 billion cars to deliver them to where ever

 

even in 40 foot containers thats 7644.48

thats enough to fill the biggest container ship in the world over 3/4's

thats alot of tape

We'll teleport them.

 

Winky clean up after yourself for christs sake there's bits of brain matter all over the place... I don't want anyone slipping over whilst moving all this tape around. My public liability premiums will go through the roof.

[camerondownunder88]

COUGH..umm excuse me if I interrupt BUT.

 

Thickness of tape you forgot. You did the maths for LWH..etc thickness. If we wrap a rocket to the roof racks well need to wrap it in a cylinder form.

 

Say the TF30-P109A (motor in the F-111) the motor is 6.12 meters long with After Burner (we need that for the celebratory BBQ in space) now when at max heat which is 2066 degrees C it grows 2.5cm in length. So add 2.5cm to 6.12 meters. We get:

6122.5cm

 

So now for diameter. The TF-30 is roughly 1.5meters diameter (don't have exacts on me) Now a corolla is mm say 3 meters (we need stock ride height to get launch ramp clearance).

This gives us a cylinder 6122.5cm long and 4.5 meters diameter ( i will stuff up maths in this so hold on tight...Prob have all ready..lol)

 

Now if the cylinder if we wrapped it didn't grow in diameter (amazing what next gen warp can do) and it is 14.3meters round (girth) and a roll is say 20meters long. We will need to wrap a total off:

(number of rolls X 20meters)

10,351,966,880 meters of tape we need to wrap

Now divide that by 14.3meters we get:

 

723,913,767.832,167,832,167,832,167,832,17

 

That is how many times well need to walk around the cylinder to wrap it. Now if we go from one end to the other and tape is 5cm wide that means well get:

(length of cylinder / width of tape)

 

1224.5 rows of tape. So divide the number of wraps by rows to find out how many wraps in each row:

 

591,191.317,135,294,268,818,156,119,095,28

 

That is how many layers we need. Say tape is 0.6mm thick. well need ground clearance for launch ramp of:

(amount of layers per row X thickness)

 

354,714.790,281,176,561,290,893,671,457,17mm

 

So convert to meters:

 

354meters roughly ground clearance...mmm Seems wrong but hey who wants to double check me.

 

So we will need sleds for this bad boy. Lift kits don't hit that height. So who has sled info we need ASAP to get the bad boy off the ground.

 

Also weight and fuel. TF-30 pumps out 20,840lbs thrust with after burner going and chews 306L/min with after burner going so well need a lot of 08 corolla boots to fill with jerry cans also. Ill let some one else work out the jerry can fuel situation..lol

Hmmm. Fuel.

We haven't really tackled the finance issue yet... I mean this IS going to cost rather a lot. But I have an idea... If we say we're using this inter-orbital ballistic corolla to 'liberate' an oil-rich country of oppressed brown people, we can get all our materials and fuel for FREE! The US spends 720 mil a day in iraq, I don't think they'd notice a lazy trill getting diverted to some random civilian contractor...

[camerondownunder88]

Jet A is currently 0.63 cents per L at the bouser at the Brisbane international Airport..lol

 

So well use that price.

 

Also if were leaving this planet (well reentry is a must to complete BUT if we make it to mars why go back) we don't need to worry about prison or CO2 emissions so we can burn what we want and steal money from the US to :'(

[Doogs]

This beasty also needs speedholes ! :'(

 

The question is.................before or after the tape ?

[ke10rolla]

so i wonder how i could do a few lil mods to make my car go that little bit faster

Same as original answer before we started to

get carried away.

 

Google

 

Rollaclub Faq

 

Search

 

Many users on the forum get sick of people asking

"make my car fast'' or other similar questions, when they have

obviosly done no research for themselves.

 

You were lucky to even get replies (let alone the ones you did get) :'(

 

Use the above links, those resources are very useful.

what you's recon :lol: Flame job as well as red paint :'(
