How Do You Calculate Ride Frequency for Optimal Comfort?

AI Thread Summary
Calculating ride frequency for optimal comfort involves using ride rate and sprung mass, with multiple variables influencing the outcome. Key parameters include vehicle type, terrain, weight, and tire specifications. For instance, an army troop carrier with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 12 tons and a payload of 2 tons requires specific spring rate calculations. The use of 10R20 crossply tires also affects the overall comfort level. Understanding these factors is essential for selecting the appropriate suspension components for any vehicle.

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
