Pretty epic!I love a good unless fact that has no relevance whatsoever. My fave is.......
if you stood the uss nimitz aircraft carrier on its stern there is enough energy to fire a classic VW beetle 1 mile straight up.
pretty useless I think you'll agree but can anyone top that?
that's a good one hardly surprising when you think about the speeds involved. At 18000rpm the piston travels from the top of the bore to the bottom and back again 300 times a secondPretty epic!
I do know that if a con-rod snapped on a tuned racing bike such as MotoGP, at rull revs (red lining) and without restrictions in the way, such as the cylinder head for example - there is enough force and velocity to launch the piston into space.
You on the same list as meCoca-cola would be green if colouring wasn't added to it.
Erm Michael FishThere is no such thing as a fish
You sure, isn't English the official language of Guyana? Which though often forgotten is on the South American main land even if for cultural reasons it's normally considered part of the Caribbean.All of South America speaks Spanish except for Brazil. The reason is because there was a dispute between the Portuguese and Spanish as to who was going to have what part of the new worlds. To settle this they went to the Pope and he ordered an equerry to take a pointer and place it on the map of the world that was painted on the wall in the Vatican. He declared all to the left was Spanish all to the right Portuguese. However the tip of South America sticks out at that point so it's considered that Brazil was on the right side.... so they speak Portuguese.

During the time that Concorde was in service the R.A.F. had no aircraft that was able to keep up with her.
The R.A.F. had some amazing planes in the 50'sSadly it wasn't in RAF service - if only, then I could have flown to Hong Kong in half the time instead of in a VC10!
The fastest manned RAF aircraft was the old Lightning, designed in the early 50s, and the fastest RAF aircraft (unmanned) was the Bloodhound anti-aircraft missile which in flight looked like, and was about the size of a small aircraft.
