@MrBot000000 I'm a little confused with your symbols. Could you clarify a little better please? What I did was calculate centripetal acceleration using Force = mrw^2. Using F=ma, the m cancels out leaving a = rw^2. I said that one g is equal to an acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 and divided my answer for "a" by 9.81.

@LMF5000 U see "STRESS around 50000 times of g at the wheel rims" means, that Stress at the wheel rims (Fg) that is perpendicular to the Instant centre of rotation Fg = 50000 * g W = m * g m = 50000 kg U thought WTF?! m = 6000...7000 kg! But Fg = W + Fd(y) Fd(y) - air resistance(Drag) stress (y axis) W - weight Fd = (50000-6000) * g = 431 640 H or 431.64 kH or 43.164 tons of stress a(tau) = w^2*r is called Centripetal acceleration. IT IS NOT g!!!

At 2:39 - how did you get the 50,000 g number? I tried calculating it using an rpm of 10,500 and a wheel radius of 0.93 meters, with the formula g=r*(w^2) where r=radius and w = angular velocity in radians per second... but my answer was very different. What method did bloodhound use?

@ShackleFreeJeff well first, it takes time to build a car that goes over 1000mph, and second there also is nothing to prove it cant go over 1000mph

[ShackleFreeJeff]

are you ever going to actually race this thing? how can you call it a 1000mph car if it has never been raced?

AWESOME..!
