I think to start anything that weighs a shit ton, but any creative ideas?
I will clarify, lastly I've been looking for a new car and I had a thought about how to choose the perfect engine.
And my thought was, everybody says that a smaller engine eats less fuel, but does it really? If I need to get the engine to 5k rpm every time I want to drive, in the end I would use more fuel (ie. My friends small car that has 82hp and when on mountain roads (we live in a mountain-ish zone)he achieved an average consumption of 12-15L/100km and on the highest gradients up to 27L/100km)
On the other side if you take a 500hp engine you will just burn more fuel on average everywhere.
So there has to be an optimal engine choice where the overall consumption(flat, constant load) is within reason, and if need to strain the engine to take over or something, the consumption won't go into F1 engine levels of 105kg in two hours.
And I have no idea how to even get started on it, i would need to find consumption curves on each engine based in load applied. And most manufacturers don't let you see that.
Edit: forget about the practical part of choosing a car, it's about a mathematical way to find the best engine
Found out my 2013 ST2 with 66k is still faster than a 2021 Nissan Maxima. They have 300hp but they weigh 300lbs more and torque is abysmal* 261lbs.
This is also why a 2019+ Mazda Miata is about as fast as a stock ST.
Just glad this rocket hatch is still relevant in 2021.
Title, any help appreciated.
So I was thinking about getting a Harley Davidson, but I'm on my L's for my motorcycle license, and in Australia (where I live) an L plater can't have more than 150 kilowatts of power of metric tonne (201 horsepower per 2200 lbs for people who use imperial measurement) and the only Harley that is learner approved is the street 500, which has a weight of 229kg (505lbs), which for its power output, is almost 38kg (84lbs) too light for the minimum power to weight ratio required for L license holders.
i was wondering what's the best way to get the bike within the ratio would be. should I limit the engine more by changing parts, or should I be adding things onto the bike to make it weigh more? please let me know.
thanks for reading my post
Hi all, I’m struggling to know if I am reaching a good output for my size and if I’m pushing hard enough. ( I feel I go all out in my rides) I’m 43 kg but my PR for a 45 min ride is 262 and I often only reach 250 something. Where as others hit 400 plus with much lower heart rate. I’ve been consistently training CrossFit ( scaled for 6 Years so assumed I was physically fit but now I’m not sure. Does anyone know how to calculate power to wright ratio and more importantly, interpret it.I’m starting to worry And feel more exhausted. Thank you In advance xx
Hi guys.
Being noob I am taking it slowly with less powerful AWD cars. I figured raw power doesn't really tell anything without vehicle weight and power-to-weight ratio. So I took the list of cars in Hungary mod and compiled a spreadsheet.
Some of the beginner friendly lower power-to-weight ratio AWD cars are:
Subaru Impreza N14 N4: 274 hp, 1570 kg, 5.73 kg-per-hp
Lancia Delta HF 4wd Grp A: 240 hp, 1350 kg, 5.63 kg-per-hp
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX N4: 280 hp, 1550 kg, 5.54 kg-per-hp.
Is it safe to assume, that out of these three Lancer is the fastest around the stage? Or are there other factors in play? I could only assume that weight makes car more "planted" on the road and harder to flick around. And when it does lose traction, heavier weight end up in more inertia that could cause worse handling.
If weight is simulated properly then Lancia will be the fastest out of these 3 being 200 kilos lighter, correct? And Impreza slowest being the heaviest and less power to weight.
Thank you.
DL 4520 is based on the Oshkosh 1070. In real life this truck started with a 12L Detroit making 500 HP, now the truck comes with a C-18 Caterpillar making 700HP. This truck weighs 45,000 pounds.
The Kolob 74760 is based on the MZKT-741351. Now they both come with C18 diesels, the main difference is the power rating, the Kolob IRL has 812 horses instead of the DL's 700. The kicker is the Kolob weighs 56,000 pounds.
IRL PTW for the Derry Longhorn is 0.015 horsepower for every pound of truck.
IRL PTW for the Kolob is 0.0145 horsepower for every pound of truck.
In Snowrunner the Maximum PTW for the DL is a B+ (6 Bars) rating. The Kolob is an A (8 bars).
I think the DL needs an upgrade, it is such a high level unlock and the tires are only 50 inch while the Kolob gets 59 inch.
Why am I comparing these two? In real life these trucks fill the same role, both are military tank haulers that can haul massive trailers off road is rough condition, in the game the DL has problems towing heavy loads uphill. I say add a special engine for the DL or give it the same KZGT-8 530 T that the Kolob gets. Thanks for my useless rant.
Hey guys! Apologies in advance if this has already been answered. I've always wondered how most UNSC vehicle maintained their speed/manoeuvrability while heavy af Spartans were inside them?
Is it simply for gameplay purposes or were Warthogs packing incredible engines?
I mean in real life we can see the impact Weight has on acceleration and overall top speed as well as manoeuvrability, you could have a twin turbo/supercharged beast with a light weight chassis but the second a 100kg dude sits in the back seat you see an immediate effect on the way the car drives.
Thanks guys, hope your all staying well during the craziness atm!
I want to know guys how can i increase my strength in gym. Like increase my power clean, snatch and squat strength. Please give me some tips so i can increase my power clean. My current best is 75kg/165pounds. I want to increase it.
TLDR: Does a small camera drone need to meet the 4:1 power to weight ratio that FPV racers try to?
Hey DIY drone community! I am new to building drones, but I am looking to build one soon.
The purpose of it is to be a relatively small (250mm frame) drone that generates enough thrust to carry a 660 gram hd camera. Reading online I saw that the rule of thumb is 4:1 power to weight but is this necessary for a drone that's just used to take some video?
The total drone weight is under 850 grams, so do I really need a max power output of 4 times this for my videography purposes?
Thank you!
May be a dumb question, but I was wondering which bullet caliber has the most power (punch, stopping power, ballistics whatever you will) compared to how much the caliber of bullet physically weighs. Similar to the comparison of how an ant can lift x times its body weight despite its small size if that makes sense.
I was just reading the thread about a certain pro golfer and his 955 juiced hotel ride and really started to think about power to weight ratios that many posters were discussing.
I'm not a new rider and my 45m PR is a little more than half of his hotel ride, but I wasn't dying on that ride either. So I'm wondering... how do I learn more about a what a strong rider for my height and weight would hit in a similar ride? Or really just average output.
I am 5' 9", 168#.
ALSO - if this is a well hit thread, please flame me and tell me to use search. I'm just trying to learn about this and this post took a lot less time.
I unlocked all the engine mods and tracks but Type 74 (18.95 hp/t) still feel sluggish. Meanwhile other tanks are similar in hp/t like T72A/B (19/18.87hp), ZTZ-96 (17.8 hp/t) and 96A (18.7), they feel more mobile except when in reverse of course.
I'm thinking maybe there some hidden stats that just aren't shown in the game. Maybe something to do with transmission.
