 We kinda expected that... A man in Russia tried to drive a land cruiser around a frozen lake in spinning circles, but the vehicle broke through the ice and started sinking. Friends rescued him. tags: breed of speed , drifto , car through ice, ouch , nathan finneman , drifting , fail Firing Bullets Between Propeller Blades At 120,000 Frames Per Second-Mindblowing, Nathan Finneman12/21/2016
 Gotta Love Technology.We don’t know what’s more incredible; the fact that in 2016 we have the technology to film bullets at 120,000 frames per second or that in 1913, just years after we started flying, you could shoot bullets through a spinning propeller. Both are great feats of technology, and the video you’re going to see combines the two. Welcome to one of the most addicting channels on Youtube, namely, The Slow Mo Guys. What started as a small and fun project has now grown into hundreds of videos you can’t take your eyes off of. Equipped with a camera which costs thousands upon thousands of dollars, these guy film EVERYTHING in slow motion. From firing guns to smacking flaming tennis balls, everything they do is truly captivating. In this installment, they did something most of you would be really interested in. Although World War II planes had wing mounted guns (for the most part), World War I planes were where new weapon placements were tested. One of them was the gun synchronizer. The gun was placed at the nose of the plane and fired through the propeller. Although that might seem like a bad idea, the mechanism that triggered the bullet was pretty simple and effective. These guys go into some more details about that. tags: airplane machine gun nathan finneman drifto breed of speed  The eagerly-anticipated, brand-new 2017 Ford GT supercars hit a major milestone Friday, Dec. 16 when the first one rolled off the production line. Ford Motor Co. is manufacturing the cars at a low-volume facility in Markham, Ontario, according to a news release from the Dearborn-based automaker. The 2017 Ford GTs were first unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in 2015, and now the company is touting the global delivery of the first round of cars. "When we kicked off 2016, we had two primary objectives for our Ford GT supercar - to excel at Le Mans, and to start deliveries before year-end," Raj Nair, Ford executive vice president of global product development, said in the release. "We've achieved both." The automaker said it will only produce 250 of the Ford GTs each year, so only a fraction of the 6,000-plus applicants will receive one of the $400,000-plus cars. The supercar have a new, twin-turbo, 3.5L EcoBoost V6 that will produce more than 600 horsepower. As many as eight exterior colors are available with seven different striped colors. It is rear-wheel drive, mid-engine GT is being made with carbon fiber, aluminum and other lightweight materials. The attention to aerodynamics from Ford is clear in the "optimum tear-drop shape" and an "aircraft-inspired fuselage" design. tags: ford gt rolls off assembly line nathan finneman colorado breed of speed drifto |
