very potent fuel, nitromethane. A 4 stroke engine has four steps to complete one cycle. First, there is the intake stroke; this is where the fuel mixture is pulled down into the engine. Second, there is the compression stroke;
learning how to fly them. The other design in gas powered RC helicopters is the nitromethane fueled chopper. These helicopters are a little faster than gasoline fueled birds, but they also can be a bit more temperamental. Therefore, if you choose to buy a nitromethane fueled helicopter, be prepared to spend a fair amount of time tuning the engine in order to keep it in optimal flying condition. A nitromethane fueled chopper is a fairly complex flying machine and therefore requires that a pilot
Another very crucial part of the car is its parachute launch system, which if he drivers didn't have would be a very rough and maybe lethal stop. Also one of the most powerful parts of the machine is the gas which is a nitromethane. The dragsters can use up to fifteen gallons of nitromethane in only one run. Another fascinating fact is that the dragsters are twenty five feet long and two thousand three hundred and thirty pounds. The top fuel dragsters pull eight gs on launch, and also have have amazing
"I am the mast of my fate: I am the captain of my soul (e.g., From decorated veteran, n.d.)." That was a quote from the poem "Invictus," but it was also a handwritten statement from Timothy McVeigh before his execution on June 11, 2001 (e.g., Timothy McVeigh, n.d.). Timothy McVeigh was born on April 23, 1968 in Pendleton, New York. He was the middle of three children in his family. He was very interested in guns at a young age. His parents separated when he was only ten years old. McVeigh graduated
was called the Oklahoma City Bombing. They parked a truck containing a homemade bomb in front of the federal building. The explosion covered a huge area, damaging over 300 different buildings. The main components of this bomb were diesel fuel, Nitromethane and a small concentration of ammonium nitrate. (May 21,2010). These chemicals together were a Synergistic reaction, meaning they were much more dangerous together than one alone would be. These were mixed along with other chemicals in barrels,
The Oklahoma City Bombing was a domestic terrorist bomb attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April 19, 1995. It was lead by Timothy McVeigh, an Army veteran of the Persian Gulf War. The explosive was a homemade bomb which was built by McVeigh and the help of Terry Nichols; the bomb consisted of a deadly cocktail and was put inside a rented Ryder truck in front of the Murrah Federal Building . McVeigh then proceeded out of the truck and headed towards his getaway
