I-Sonic Wind - "imoto" ekhula ngesivinini esifinyelela ku-3200 km / h?
Selokhu iBritish Thrust SSC (1227 km/h) yamisa irekhodi lejubane lezwe lamanje ngo-1997, umsebenzi ubulokhu uqhubeka emhlabeni wonke ukuze usheshe nakakhulu. Kodwa-ke, akekho kubo okulindeleke ukuthi afinyelele isivinini esingaphezu kuka-3200 km / h, ngokungafani ne-Waldo Stakes.
Irekhodi lejubane lika-Andy Green alikakaphulwa. Ukwazile ukuyiphusha yaze yafinyelela ku-1200 km/h ngemoto eyijethi eyakhiwe nguRichard Noble, uGlynn Bowsher, uRon Ayers noJeremy Bliss. Ukuhlola kwenzeke ngaphansi kwechibi likasawoti elomile e-Black Rock Desert esifundazweni sase-US e-Nevada.
Ukusetha irekhodi, Okuluhlaza kwephule umgoqo womsindo. Umgoqo olandelayo abaklami bemishini efana ne-Bloodhound SSC noma i-Aussie Invader 5 abafuna ukuwunqoba ngu-1000 mph (ngaphezu kuka-1600 km/h). Nokho, u-Waldo Stakes ufuna ukuya phambili nakakhulu. UmMelika uhlose ukusetha amaphuzu angu-3218 km/h (2000 mph). Lokhu kusho ukuthi kumele akhe imoto ekwazi ukuhamba ngesivinini esingamamitha angu-900 ngomzuzwana.
Umuntu waseCalifornia othanda ukuvelela usechithe iminyaka engu-9 yokugcina yokuphila kwakhe esebenza kuphrojekthi ye-Sonic Wind, ayibiza ngokuthi "imoto esheshayo nenamandla kunazo zonke ezake zahamba phezu komhlaba."
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ukuze le moto ibizwe ngemoto, kufanele ihlangabezane nombandela owodwa - kufanele ibe namasondo amane. Umthombo we-propulsion yayo injini yerokhethi ye-XLR99 eyakhiwa ngama-60s yi-NASA. Nakuba lo mklamo usuneminyaka ecishe ibe ngu-50 ubudala, irekhodi lesivinini sendiza lisaphethwe yindiza i-X-15 lapho lokhu kufakwa kwakusebenza khona. Wakwazi ukusheshisa emoyeni ku-7274 km / h.
Ngokuhamba kwejubane le Sonic Wind, ukuzinza kwemoto kuseyinkinga enkulu. Kodwa-ke, u-Stakes ukholelwa ukuthi uthole isisombululo esebenzisa isimo sakhe somzimba esiyingqayizivele. “Umbono uwukusebenzisa wonke amandla okusebenza emotweni ngesikhathi ushayela. Ingaphambili lomzimba lenzelwe ukunciphisa ukuphakama. Amaphiko amabili enza ukuthi i-asi yangemuva iqine futhi iphinde iphushe imoto phansi,” kuchaza uStakes.
Njengamanje, inkinga yomshayeli ayikaxazululeki. Kuze kube manje, umMelika akakayitholi i-daredevil engathanda ukuhlala esicongweni seSonic Wind.
