The Slovacs made a real flying car

the breaking power of an object does not depend on its amount of wheels. Your argument is invalid.

I don't wanna argue but as its been explained in short interview with constructor here - it does. He explained that having 4 wheels instead of 3 is getting the car more chafing / friction surface and 4 breaking points of the whole construction are eliminating kinetic energy instead of 3.

but as i said - I am not arguing - just what I have heard in mentioned TV interview. I might be wrong of course.

edited : read more below and it looks like it was all about break and brake ? Then ok I accept this - I am the 1 asshole here who should study english more

^^ you're confusing stopping power with braking power.

if there was a spelling mistake, i didnt notice it. thats not what this was about. you fooled yourself again.

You didn't notice? Not that smart after all. So you weren't picking on him for his atrocious spelling, but you were picking on him for his semantics? Well that changes everything

for everyone else, ive got a quiz:

if there was only one wheel in the front, but with an additional brake, how would that affect braking performance?

if the number of wheels was that important, why dont cars have another wheel in the center of the car, to aid with braking?

If you add more brakes, the braking power goes up, but that's not going to help you stop if you have skinny little tires or are on a slippery surface. If you add more tire rubber touching the road, assuming your brakes are good, you increase your stopping power. A 5th wheel added to the center of a car would look fucking stupid, but you can't deny high performance vehicles have larger tires to improve their grip on the road, both for handling and stopping purposes.

Now quit being a douche.

i quit being a douche when you quit being stupid. so far you havent delivered.

theres no fifth wheel because its not necessary. quite the obvious answer. in the same manner, a fourth wheel is not necessary, unless you want to corner.

youre trying to be cute here. splitting up a concept into more than one concept to win because words. if grip was the problem, you could use a stickier rubber. adding another wheel for "stopping power" is idiotic. remember that one time when motorcycle manufacturers added another wheel because they needed more "stopping power"?

his argument is moot. its not wrong per se. its just the way highschool dropouts argue. "it looks cool". "because 4 wheels duh".

have you noticed how youve changed? you cry for me to "quit being a douche". a while ago, you thought you could handle that way more dominantly. how easy it is to put you in your place.

 

[3nyaw]

btw, my point is not that i am particularly smart. its just that, compared to me, youre really stupid.

I helped them understand ebola. Then they went conspiracy so i feigned massive stupidity. They thought they had me because i fucked with them about incubation periods. Now they think i don't know what that is. Like really.

Do you have a recommendation for whey protein powder? Something I can buy off of Amazon.

You haven't put anyone in their place little man. You're wrong, talking complete nonsense, and completely contradicting yourself.

I've got better things to do than argue with the village idiot. Cya!

 

[3nyaw]

point out to me where ive contradicted myself and youll win 100 bucks. good luck.

inb4 100 bucks dont mean shit to me gnihihihihihihhi

It would increase manufacturing costs significantly, dipshit. Easier to add multiple wheels to the end of the existing axle, than make some retarded "center wheel" design.

if grip was the problem, you could use a stickier rubber.

What? Fuck you are retarded, and clearly don't know shit about anything automotive.

Stickier rubber is only stickier if the surface temperature is high enough to make it sticky, otherwise just like racing slicks, they don't handle for shit at low temps.

Also sticky rubber wares faster, and therefore is not economical to run, outside of performance environments. Do you really want to be changing your tires every landing? Increasing the contact patch by either a) adding more tires onto the axle, or b) increasing the width of the tire, are the most efficient solutions to the problem.

remember that one time when motorcycle manufacturers added another wheel because they needed more "stopping power"?

It's called a trike, dickhead.

Yes it increases stopping power, but it also makes it less fun and changes the entire dynamics of the vehicle.

You need to shut the fuck up, because you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Go troll elsewhere, or back your shit up with some science.

 

[3nyaw]

how about you back your shit up with some science first?

f(x) = -lambda²*dx/dr

is the model for friction. come back to me when youre completely sure that you understand that in its entirety.

google things like partial derivative if you need to.

or do you want to talk about how the dynamics differ between a trike and a 4 wheeled car? check out the inertia tensor.

do you want ot know the difference between torque and power?

its up to you. i can start with explaining to you what a function is, because youll probably need to know that.

If we all shared an office I'd pay to have a ring put in for lunch bouts to watch you guys pummel each other.
