nismo dr Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 lol I was in that same worm hole for a long time! there was one that had a commercials for cologne that were honestly starting to frighten me Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 As much as I like their cars from that era, I'll never understand Japanese culture of the 70s. Beezaro baby. Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Check out the prop rpm matching up with the shutter speed of the video camera. Looks like it's standing still, like it's a six blade prop, then a bent three blade prop. Ooh, visual representation of math at work. Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Evidently the Germans are very serious about tractor pulling! https://youtu.be/GdJTOLKiUd8 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 They really like the old merlin and rolls Royce plane engines. And those are Italians, so I doubt it will run long......but it will look good sitting there broke. Quote Link to comment

One i watched had one with 3 twin turbo allisons, and another had 4 turbine engines. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 different direction but... Nismo, I followed the worm hole on that Japanese Suzuki truck ad you posted and I found this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJqhvIIo3qU In the vid did anyone notice the dual vent velocity stacks? WOW. Flipped rear springs and Chrome Moly DOM LCA's up front. mmmmm 1200 goodness Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I think those are tunable length stacks. Although tunable makes sense, it's hard to tell if the OD of the inner stake seals to the ID of outer stack. Any idea why they would have a second stack floating in front of the main?

Mattndew76 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Its the same tech used on GP bikes. Its for creating low end and high end power. They wont ever seal together. Both stacks are tuned to scavenge as much air as they can. Even the roll over on the lips are designed to create less resistance as air is pulled in. 1 Quote Link to comment
125 CSL Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Duke Engine. Did a search and I do not think anyone has brought this up yet. Smooth running, 5 cylinder. http://www.dukeengines.com/ Several of videos on the web site or in a youtube search. This might even be interesting for an application outside of aircraft.
