When the two cars were equidistant from him, the station wagon started up again and the Ford gathered speed.

The official winners were Peugeot and Panhard as cars were judged on their speed, handling and safety characteristics, and De Dion's steam car needed a stoker which was forbidden.

Armored cars are typically less expensive and on roads have better speed and range than tracked military vehicles.

The British television show Top Gear frequently tests high-powered cars on the island because many of the rural roads do not have speed limits.

Introducing methods of photographing high-speed auto racing that had never been seen before, mounting cameras on the cars, at full speed and putting the stars in the actual cars, instead of against rear-projections, the film was an international success and won three Oscars, for editing, sound and sound effects.

Furthermore, Koenigsegg controls and uses the former military runway for shakedown runs of production cars and high speed testing.

By the time the Bonneville Salt Flats became the premier location for pursuit of land speed records, in 1936, Daytona beach had become synonymous with fast cars .< ref >

A ten speed manual transmission, for example is controlled via a six-slot H-box pattern, similar to that in five-speed cars — five forward and one reverse gear.

* Trams can cause speed reduction for other transport modes ( buses, cars ) when stops in the middle of the road do not have pedestrian refuges, as in such configurations other traffic cannot pass whilst passengers alight or board the tram.

A radar gun, typically used for measuring the speed of cars or balls in sports, is usually calibrated with tuning forks.

The cars would be moving at the same speed as the Speedwalk ; the passengers would enter the cars and be seated, while the motorized rollers would increase the speed of the cars up to the traveling speed ( which would be preset depending on the distance to be covered ).

The increasingly elderly high-speed rolling stock has had its speed limited to 120 km / h for safety reasons.

In very high speed applications, heat from friction during rolling can cause problems for metal bearings, which are reduced by the use of ceramics.

Trains on the CMK achieve speed up to 160 km / h ( some sections allow up to 200 km / h, but the rolling stock has not yet been adapted to handle higher speed ).

They will ride around the very top of the track as they near the start line, then drop down to the bottom to gain as much speed as possible from rolling down the steep inclined banking.

used attraction, alignment and avoidance and extended this with a number of traits of real starlings: first, birds fly according to fixed wing aerodynamics, while rolling when turning ( thus losing lift ), second they coordinate with a limited number of interaction neighbours of 7 ( like in real starlings ), third, they try to stay above a sleeping site ( like starlings do at dawn ) and when they happen to move outwards the sleeping site, they return to it by turning, fourth, they move at relative fixed speed.

Generally, clean inline skate bearings contribute about 2 % of the rolling resistance that the best urethane inline skate wheels produce, so there is very little opportunity in improving speed by spending more money on bearings.

The competition pitted both amateur and professional loggers against one another in logging events that included log toss, log rolling, axe throw, bow saw, speed cutting, stock saw, standing block chop, two man bucking saw, power saw and the Jack and Jill Crosscut competition.

The bureaucratic machinery becomes a juggernaut, rolling over human concerns and welfare with terrible speed, jerking the universe of sentients one way, then another, threatening to destroy everything in a fit of spastic reactions.

During a change in speed, the optical pickup inside the player might read video information from a track adjacent to the intended one, causing data from the two tracks to " cross "; the extra video information picked up from that second track shows up as distortion in the picture which looks reminiscent of swirling " barber poles " or rolling lines of static.

( A heavily loaded train rolling at 20 km / hr on heavy rail may require ten times the pull on a 1 % upgrade that it does on the level at that speed.

* The bulk of an open-circuit set makes the diver heavy and cumbersome in rolling over and changing course or speed.

That wheel then started rolling at a different speed, which caused the axle to rotate away from vertical.

Aspects of the working environment which affect wear include loads and features such as unidirectional sliding, reciprocating, rolling, and impact loads, speed, temperature, but also different types of counter-bodies such as solid, liquid or gas and type of contact ranging between single phase or multiphase, in which the last multiphase may combine liquid with solid particles and gas bubbles.

It is, however, illegal by the Rules of Golf to test the speed of a green while playing by rolling a ball on it, or by feeling or rubbing the green.

Instead of rolling for Initiative as in most other RPGs, the players make a " speed " roll on the bones — the exact number and type being rolled determined by each character's stats — and then draw a number of cards from a community playing card deck based on the results of that roll.

The aircraft had a wing designed originally for an aileron reversal airspeed of 580 mph, and any attempt to increase the aileron area would have resulted in the wing twisting when the larger ailerons were applied at high speed, the aircraft then rolling in the opposite direction to that intended by the pilot.

Drag may also be produced at speed due to truck ( bogie ) hunting, which will increase the rolling friction between wheels and rails.

* DN the diameter of a rolling element bearing in mm multiplied by its speed in rpm

The speed ratio of two gears rolling without slipping on their pitch circles is given by,

The intensity of political intervention came to a head immediately after the Hatfield rail crash in 2000, when Railtrack imposed over 1200 emergency speed restrictions on its network because it did not know where else on the network the type of metal fatigue-called gauge corner cracking or rolling contact fatigue-which had caused the crash might occur.

For a leg cutter, a right-handed bowler pulls his fingers down the left side of the ball ( from his viewpoint ), rolling the ball out of his hand over the little finger, in an action similar to bowling a leg break, only at higher speed.

There he'd take a compass reading, figure his air speed, and deduce that in a certain number of minutes he'd be over the broad meadows of the Merrimack Valley where it would be safe to let down through the overcast and see the ground before it hit him.

It features a full Atari SALLY 6502 processor whereas the 2600 VCS has a stripped down 6507 processor running at a slower speed.

Proposals suggest a high speed rail think that would cut the journey time to manchester down to 20 – 25 minutes, possibly joining with the existing Metrolink services at Bury.

Catalysts can only speed up the reaction – chemicals that slow down the reaction are called inhibitors.

The speed at which any component of a mixture travels down the column in elution mode depends on many factors.

For non-circular orbits or trajectories, only the component of gravitational force directed orthogonal to the path ( toward the center of the osculating circle ) is termed centripetal ; the remaining component acts to speed up or slow down the satellite in its orbit.

Diffusion pumps use a high speed jet of vapor to direct gas molecules in the pump throat down into the bottom of the pump and out the exhaust.

To ensure a minimum speed he specified that the landing gear remain down, in the takeoff / landing position, and the wing flaps be lowered 15 degrees.

However her stability had begun to break down as she travelled at speed she had never achieved before, and the front of the boat started to bounce out of the water on the starboard side.

In addition, some household products use enzymes to speed up biochemical reactions ( e. g., enzymes in biological washing powders break down protein or fat stains on clothes ; enzymes in meat tenderizers break down proteins into smaller molecules, making the meat easier to chew ).

Rail fins also add lift ( known as " drive ") in trim and with greater holding ability, enable steeper wave faces to be ridden and higher speed " down the line.

Bel Geddes expounds upon his design in his book Magic Motorways, stating, “ Futurama is a large-scale model representing almost every type of terrain in America and illustrating how a motorway system may be laid down over the entire country – across mountains, over rivers and lakes, through cities and past towns – never deviating from a direct course and always adhering to the four basic principles of highway design: safety, comfort, speed and economy .” He had acknowledged this in the belief that “ A free-flowing movement of people and goods across our nation is a requirement of modern living and prosperity .”

A Komodo dragon may attempt to speed up the process by ramming the carcass against a tree to force it down its throat, sometimes ramming so forcefully that the tree is knocked down.

Four battleships of the Helgoland class were laid down in 1909 – 1910, with displacements of 22, 800 tons, twelve 30. 5 cm guns in 6 turrets, reciprocating engines generating a maximum speed of 21 knots, and a price tag of 46 million GM.

The all-time speed record for steam trains is held by an LNER Class A4 4-6-2 Pacific locomotive of the LNER in the United Kingdom, number 4468 Mallard, which pulling six carriages ( plus a dynamometer car ) reached 126 mph ( 203 km / h ) on a slight downhill gradient down Stoke Bank on 3 July 1938.

Parliament ordered the regiments of Col. Morley and Col. Moss to march to Westminster for their security, and sent for the rest of the troops that were about the London to draw down to them also with all speed.

If the system is shut down suddenly ( pulling into a service area after a high speed drive and stopping the engine ) the oil that is in the turbo charger immediately oxidizes and will clog the oil ways with deposits.

Potential speed gains are large, with travel time from Casablanca to Marrakesh down from 3 hours to 1: 20, and from the capital Rabat to Tangier from 4: 30 to 1: 30.

It follows that the magnetic force does no work on the particle ; it may change the direction of the particle's movement, but it cannot cause it to speed up or slow down.

The disk was thrown down a corridor so that it could roll past the players at great speed.

Since it has only a tiny fraction of its parent's radius ( and therefore its moment of inertia is sharply reduced ), a neutron star is formed with very high rotation speed, and then gradually slows down.

Most reactor designs in existence are thermal reactors and typically use water as a neutron moderator ( moderator means that it slows down the neutron to a thermal speed ) and as a coolant.

During the approach the pole vaulter sprints down the runway in such a way as to achieve maximum speed and correct position to initiate takeoff at the end of the approach.
