oh and also how many pistons and how are they arranged what angle are they at relative to the deck of the ship?

HFO is used, for the soul reason that it is cheap... Its not the best and the least amount possible is used, and the force needed to lift a piston of that size would more than likely blow a hole in the side after a few months... if not weeks... I would show you the size of one of the fuel injectors compared to me, but my router is shite at the moment and I cant be fucked uploading it...

alright tell me a few things and ill work it out im probably wrong in the case of large engines but i would like to work out the math to see if i am. could you tell me-

-the surface area of the piston/radius of piston im not fussy

-the amount of fuel injected into the engine each stroke

-the radius and length of the cylinder

-the mass/weight of the piston again not fussy

oh and also how many pistons and how are they arranged what angle are they at relative to the deck of the ship?

Again, I work on ships.... I think the way of a ships engine, and the pistons on them are MUCH bigger... the weight of the piston would not be insignificant on them....

ship engines very big pistons yes pistons weigh a lot yes but it will also use more fuel in each stroke meaning more pressure meaning a larger force acting on a larger piston. its less about the size of the piston more about the ratio of the weight of the piston against the force acting upon the piston due to the increase in pressure

-Combustion doesn't cause force, expansion does.
-A large force acting against a small force doesn't somehow make the small force smaller. It just overcomes it.

But your idea is correct.

expansion is a consequence of combustion. expansion causes pressure increase which in turn causes force on the piston therefore the force is caused ultimately by combustion.

and i never said it made the small force of the weight smaller i said it was insignificant compared to the force exerted on the piston from the rapidly expanding gas

If you go to page 3/21 in that link I posted, it has the charge formula.

Otherwise I'd have to go find my demo sheet/notes to give you the exact formula.

Yea it was there is the full vid on youtube somewhere.

That's why it's a "Minimum" safe distance and you're supposed to be behind some sort of cover, like a bunker. He just takes his life in his hands (and doesn't really pack it into anything that can cause a lot of shrapnel) when he uses explosives.

combat engineers for ya

Pretty much.

what is the formula out of interest?

The big bad wolf.

Just look at this picture and follow the instructions man. Everything will be okay in the end.

The Beach by Alex Garland

The same guy who wrote Dredd and 28 days Later...

Been meaning to get around to reading Mortal Engines, atm I'm reading Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series, mainly because I loved the TV series.

My favourite book of all time is difficult though. I loved James Herbert's 'The Rats' trilogy. The Hobbit has a special place with me. But all in all I just love good books.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Closely followed by Katawa Shoujo

My favorite book is The Scarlet Plague by Jack London.

The Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies by Robin Hobb. Feels everywhere.

I did enjoy the Mortal Engines books and I might just have to agree with you there.

I LOOOVE those books. My favorite series will have to be the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini.

(But the movie sucked like HEEEEIIILL)

I`m with you bro! Finished reading the final book last Sunday. All the feels when I realized it`s over now...

I hope Paolini continues with world of Alagaesia

<-- Finnish cover :3

Totally agree with you. I was pretty depressed when i was done with the last book.

A song of ice and fire!

I'm really into the mortal instruments series right now.

I don't feel like googling that, but is that the one with the angel boy and monsters and shit?

Haha yeah something like that. I would definitely recommend it. There are five books in the series and two books in a sort of prequel series.

I read four of them, I think. They made a sequel to Clockwork Angel?

ya actually they are making a third one that comes out this march in the clockwork series.

Oh, I kinda liked those books.

Ya unfortunately the next book in the mortal instruments series doesn't come out til September of 2014.

the mole who wanted to know who pooped on its head - by... hell if I know o___o

That one is hard, I have a few:
>Hobbit + Lord of the Rings (Cliche I know but I like the classics)
>The Witcher series (Dark Tolkien ftw)
>Eaters of the Dead (Arab-Viking shenanigans)
>Zombie Survival Guide/World War Z (Realistic Zombies!)
>Anything by this man

That is an awesome picture!

A toss up. Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxters collaborative work, The Long Earth, has ideas that really caught my imagination to the point where I would day dream for hours on end about the possibilities of having an unlimited supply of Earths just a step away with no humans on.

My other favourite is Goodnight Mr Tom by Michelle Magorian. it is a childrens book but the theme that it explores (of a horribly abused child being evacuated from WW2 London and going to live with what I would think of as the best dad in the world) made me tear up. And saying that it is a childrens book does not do it justice since it actually has a shit load of death (psycho crazy mum with a dead baby) and shit.

World War Z - Max Brooks

Fatherland - Robert Harris

I've read the Mortal Engines series, it was pretty good.

My favorite is the Spinward Fringe series by Randolph Lalonde.

Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.

Ah, yes. And Bone.

Sounds kiddish but, "The story of a part-time Indian" ... Author?

You can never be sure.

The driver(Female) of the crushed vehicle was killed, most likely on impact. I say MOST likely because I can't remember the story that went with this. I came across it on 4chan some time ago. The Driver(Male) of the silver SUV was imprisoned on Manslaughter charges.

Just because she died, doesn't mean I would have died for sure. There is a 99.9% chance to die in this, but maybe one is lucky.

Anyway, that was not the topic in the first place.

If you do live. you'd be in serious pain.

I never implied that I would do what I said right there. I can also do it after recovery.
There still is the possibility to survive this without a scratch. Small, but existant.

Amazon and £13.99 but the more you pay the better they are, there are some really shitty ones

ebay for like $30
or you could
yknow
google it

but i wanted social interaction :(

If they're really your friends then walking away from something like that is understandable and you won't lose them.

That situation is waaay worse than mine dude.. As hard as it will be, wait until she gets hurt. Then she should tell you what happened. Don't tell her, I told you so, just listen and be there for her. If she gets hurt let her know that you still care, and you want to make her feel better.
But your old friend has changed and makes her happy, be happy for her and move on as best you can.

i wish i could :L she talks to my friends about this guy in front of me on and its just so horrible to hear and im trapped there listening to it because if i leave and stop hanging around with my friends i will lose them

i want an inboard jet now.

Aye, that it was, very cleverly done though.
