  • They clang when I walk.

  • Thats not the G's that will knock you out though, those are X axis G's

    which would be sucking you back like accelerating. If u put the chair sideways with your head to the center you could probably KO yourself lol

    DO IT

  • @freezinteen I didn't get "knocked out", I "blacked out". As the g's increased, the longer I went, the more tunnel vision I had until everything went dark. Sitting sideways wouldn't give me the same experience as the rocket, only when I'm facing the post are the g's correct.

  • Looks like it peaked at about 6 gs there, not bad. But was anyone in there when it did that? :)

  • Actullay,once I switched to CDI and a different carb, the engine ran much smoother, and I managed to get 9.4 g's. I made it at he level for 4 seconds before blacking out.

see all

  • this would be a fun ride at great america

    

  • i got disy just watching the video

  • very cool

  • Tonnytot and I are right, your head needs to be towards the center with legs outwards to get Y axis g's.

    X axis or acceleration g's like you're doing won't make you GLOC

  • @freezinteen the gs are pushing on his heart which struggles to pump blood and then the valves fail and he loses conciousness, sort of like a safe heart attack lol, yeah it sounds bad...

  • u have a g gage for that?

  • @Rocketguy06 do it again but put a light and video camera inside the pod

  • Its easier to pull G's that way, as you are "lying down".

    To simulate being in a plane you need to have your shit hole outwards, not your back.

  • Sitting the way u are will force your head and body back, which won't do anything.

    Sitting with your head towards the center will cause the blood to flow away from your head to the outside. This will give u tunnel vision and possibly make u black out
