THe NAC Lots-O-BFG KO2 Thread

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

If Jeff didn't have it I'd say just go to a dealer or something :dunno:
yeah i am going to have to. that was his suggestion too... i might be able to get an equivalent off of mcmaster...
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

find out how much from the dealer, maybe you'll be lucky and it'll be really cheap. Dealer cost on random small stuff is actually a reasonable price once in a while.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Yeah, i noticed a couple of those things (fender flares being the biggest of them) after making that post. Not all of them... but a few of them :laugh: The door window didn't look right for some reason but I couldn't make out why, and the first thing I looked at was the mirror but I couldn't make out if it was sqared out or just the angle. Damn, I was thinking that maybe, just maybe, I had found a good DD. Damnit.

X2, I only spent 6 bucks on a pack of 3 ford 8.8 cross-shaft retainer bolts (special order, had to buy the whole bag.) I was expecting to pay about double that for only one. Small stuff really isn't that bad a price even if it is a complete ripoff for what it is. 25c vs $2 doesn't really offend me when I am only buying one.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

yay for learning aerodynamics


i'm currently calculating:

[FONT=&quot]5) Air flows at a velocity of 300 ft/s down a 8” diameter pipe. The air is at a pressure of 17.5 psia and a temperature of 85oF and the pipe is discharging the air to an atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psia. A valve at the end of the pipe is suddenly closed. Calculate the pressure on the closed end of the valve and force applied to it due to the pressure difference on both sides. You may need to do a trial and error approach. The valve is held in place with 8 steel bolts, each with a diameter of 0.25”. Will the bolts hold the valve without yielding? (Look up the yield strength of steel).[/FONT]

.....shudder....
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

were those grade 12.5 steel bolts or grade 8?

I am really glad I don't ever need to do crazy math based stuff like that, it's all code and binary/hex for me!

...shit i didnt even notice. maybe i'll have to make an assumption. this is for shock waves moving in compressible air flow too, which make it allll the harder

:gee:

I don't click on jalopnik links so I missed it. It's an eh concept anyway. A plastic rhino grille... blasphemy

regardless, it still looks pretty badass, id drive it

why not click jalopnik links? So far you missed that and a 4 way jet-powered drag race.

Though I won't lie you link had more direct info/photos. I can't bitch and moan too much :D

The way you quoted it, it looks like it just means "find the value for steel in the back of the book else you get the wrong answer" but I bet if you make note that it doesn't specify alloy, or bolt grade, and say you're assuming grade 8, you'll get points for it and maybe even bonus points. I got full credit on a project at one point that was only 75% complete (by the assignment's rules anyways) simply because I said "here is the simulation for this half, and here is a full working design for the rest that I can order parts for today, but I can't put this other part in the simulation because there is no model for the chip I used. This chip results in my design exceeding design spec by an order of magnitude while coming in 50% under budget." Really depends on the prof though.
