Here's a simple 105lb modification that should easily put your truck in the 9's:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/S-75-cruise...H_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27e392e0b0&vxp=mtr

With your engine off! 7700lb thrust will do over 1 g. If mounted under your truck, it would lift it off the ground and accelerate.

I can't believe somebody is really selling that. That's pretty much completely illegal today to sell. It would have to be sawn in half first.

It says the Russians soldered in a couple caps to DEWAT it. That doesn't comply. You have to destroy it to sell it.

Naw, I'm waiting for the new laser headlights. Both Audi and BMW are releasing cars with a laser headlight option (not avail in US, DOT has not approved) that does not blind people, but shines a light twice as far as HID's do.

It does this by lighting up a phorphorus coating that then emits a light that is close to natural sunlight.

Boring right?

Not so fast. If you remove the phosphorus emitter, the laser is powerful enough to ignite paper if focused.

If somebody won't let you pass, you hit the high beams and set their hair on fire.

I can't wait!!! :woott:

I've got a 2 watt blue handheld laser. You can really mess with people from 20 feet away by shining it on the back of there neck and about 3 seconds later they swat thinking a bee just stung them....Atleast that's what I saw on youtube;)

It ignites paper, gun powder and just about everything inbetween.

After a little research ...

SCREW THAT!!! :eek:

It's a hypergolic liquid propellant motor. That means there is no ignitor. When the oxidizer comes in contact with the fuel, it ignites. Very dangerous stuff that isn't used much anymore. You must keep the ratio, purity, and temperatures of the fuel and oxidizer to close limits, or it just explodes spontaneously.

This is basically the kind of engine and fuel that killed all those German pilots in WWII who were dumb enough to climb into a Me163 Komet. Many of them exploded on take-off, fueling, and landing.
