Thats one has gotta be made up. Didnt they just colorize the film?

This is true.

Here's one:

We're losing the moon...slowly. Every year it moves another 1.6 inches away from us. That means the original Apollo astronauts would have to travel an additional 5.3 feet to get to the moon today as opposed to 1969. When the moon formed, it was only 14000 miles from the Earth. Eventually, billions of years from now, the moon will break free of Earth's orbit.

* At stoichiometric (exact) 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture (for nitro), the flame front of nitromethane measures 7050 degrees F.

* Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After 1/2 way, the engine is dieseling from compression-plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1400 degrees F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting off its fuel flow.

* If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in those cylinders and then explodes with a force that can blow cylinder heads off the block in pieces or blow the block in half.

* Dragsters twist the crank (torsionally) so far (20 degrees in the big end of the track) that sometimes cam lobes are ground offset from front to rear to re-phase the valve timing somewhere closer to synchronization with the pistons.

Did you know ?

? that one cylinder of the eight cylinders of a Top Fuel dragster or a Funny Car produces 750 horsepower, equaling the entire horsepower output of a NASCAR engine?

? that the gasoline-powered engines of NHRA Pro Stock cars produce about 1,200 horsepower, about eight times that of the average street car?

? that an NHRA Top Fuel dragster accelerates from 0 to 100 mph in less than .8-second, almost 11 seconds quicker than it takes a production Porsche 911 Turbo to reach the same speed?

? that an NHRA Top Fuel dragster leaves the starting line with a force nearly five times that of gravity, the same force of the space shuttle when it leaves the launching pad at Cape Canaveral?

? that an NHRA Funny Car is slowed by a reverse force more than seven times that of gravity when both parachutes deploy simultaneously?

? that NHRA Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars consume between four and five gallons of fuel during a quarter-mile run, which is equivalent to between 16 and 20 gallons per mile?

I shouldn't even have to dignify this with facts.

Just what rpm do you think the engine launches at? 200 rpm? 0 rpm?

Its sitting there at 8000 rpm as it launches and stays that way all down the track.

go learn some automotive tech before giving stupid answers like that.

Engine while at rest, revving at ~8k rpm...
Engine while going, revving at ~8k rpm...
After 4 seconds, engine went through 500 cycles/revolutions in 4 seconds, at ~8k rpm...
If race lasted 1 minute, engine would have rotated ~8000 times...

What seems to be the problem here? Math seems fine to me. Am I missing something here?

the terms were misleading. The engine's rpm is 8000 regardless. It was implied that the engine only revved 500 rpm at the end of the race.

I apologize for misunderstanding the actual issue.

not without a healthy amount of headwind you havent. ive seen the same thing, but they need wind to keep them hovering like that. hummingbirds dont.

Yeah, I knew about the Russians cutting the size by a half but not about the sun-energy equivalence. Wow.

I live in the U.P. of Michigan so I guess I gotta represent:

According to the 2000 census, only 91,624 people live in the twelve towns of at least 4,000 people, covering 96.5 square miles (155.365 km²). Only 114,544 people live in the twenty-one cities and villages of at least 2,000 or more people, which cover 123.7 square miles (320.4 km²)?less than 1% of the peninsula's land area.

Just what rpm do you think the engine launches at? 200 rpm? 0 rpm?

Its sitting there at 8000 rpm as it launches and stays that way all down the track.

go learn some automotive tech before giving stupid answers like that.

What does RPM mean?

Revolutions per minute, so at 8000 rpms it spins (8000/60) = 133 per second, so in a 4 second race it'll spin about 500 times.
