One of them opened up my refrigerator and said, 'Whoa, you better call the Ghostbusters.'" Julia Roberts auditioned for the role of Dana Barrett in "Ghostbusters" (1984), but it was Weaver who attracted the filmmakers' attention. There was some resistance to casting her because of the generally serious roles she played in "Alien" (1979) and "The Year of Living Dangerously" (1982). Weaver revealed her comedic background, developed at the Yale School of Drama, and began walking on all fours and howling like a dog. It was Weaver's suggestion that Dana become possessed by the demonic dog, Zuul. Reitman said this solved issues with the last act by giving the characters personal stakes in the events. Weaver said kids would come up and ask her if she really turned into a dog. Weaver also changed the role from that of a model to a musician, saying she can be kind of strict, but "you know she has a soul because she plays the cello." Weaver floating is an actual physical effect. The actress was put in a full body cast and attached to a post hidden in the curtains. According to the DVD commentary, the effect came from Ivan Reitman's Broadway experience. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1715605921.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1715605921.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1715605921.jpg |

The 35 kW machine was capable of five million (bitwise) operations per second. Fixed-point additions taking 5 µs, floating-point additions took 5 to 10 µs, multiplication took 25 µs, and division took 65 µs. The applications of BRLESC included exterior ballistics⁵ and problems such as high altitude, solar and lunar trajectories, computation for the preparation of firing tables and guidance control data for Ordnance weapons, including free flight and guided missiles as well as ballistic measurement problems, including photogrammetric, ionospheric, and damping of satellite spin calculations, reduction of satellite Doppler tracking data, and computation of satellite orbital elements⁶. The arithmetic unit alone contained 1,727 vacuum tubes of 4 types, 853 transistors of 3 types, 46,500 diodes of 2 types, and 1,600 pulse transformers. Logical events are controlled by a five-phase megacycle clock, permitting decisions at the rate of 5 MHz. The storage system of the machine consists of a high-speed magnetic ferrite core memory of 4,096 words. Each word is 72 bits long, which is equivalent computationally to approximately 19 decimal digits, since 4 parity bits and 4 sign bits are not included in the operands. The complete read-write cycle time of this memory is 1.5 µs. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1715646426.jpg The applications of BRLESC were as follows: 1. Exterior ballistics problems such as high altitude, solar and lunar trajectories, computation for the preparation of firing tables and guidance control data for Ordnance weapons, including free flight and guided missiles. 2. Interior ballistic problems, including projectile, propellant, and launcher behaviour, e.g., physical characteristics of solid propellants, equilibrium composition, and thermodynamic properties of rocket propellants, computation of detonation waves for reflected shock waves, vibration of gun barrels and the flow of fluids in porous media. 3. Terminal ballistic problems, including nuclear, fragmentation, and penetration effects in such areas as explosion kinetics, shaped charge behaviour, ignition, and heat transfer. 4. Ballistic measurement problems, including photogrammetric, ionospheric, and damping of satellite spin calculations, reduction of satellite doppler tracking data, and computation of satellite orbital elements. 5. Weapon systems evaluation problems, including antiaircraft and antimissile evaluation, war game problems, linear programming for solution of Army logistical problems, probabilities of mine detonations, and lethal area and kill probabilities of mine detonations, and lethal area and kill probability studies of missiles. |

Brian (hipster hair) Lohnes The idea of a 1.5L V16 seems hilarious by modern racing standards, especially to us in the land of BangShift where 900-cube V8s are prowling drag strips. That being said, in the world of Formula One racing back in the early 1950s engine designers had a choice. They could design a 4.5L naturally aspirated engine or a 1.5L blower motor. BRM (British Racing Motors) decided to go the 1.5L route with their V16. It sported a comical 1.95-inch bore and 1.9-inch stroke. It was capable of 12,000 rpm and when equipped with a Rolls-Royce two stage centrifugal blower the engine made 600hp. Reportedly that Rolls blower was forcing 82 pounds of boost through the engine! Interestingly, the engine featured two valves per cylinder. We’re guessing the tiny bore may have been a factor in that. These valves make Buick Nailhead valves look massive! How about 1.25in on the intake and 1.09in on the exhaust? It’s no wonder why Formula One cars were revered so much back in this era. An engine like this in a custom racing chassis was the space shuttle of the day. The payoff to this history lesson is the video below. It’s a bunch of static photos strung together, but the soundtrack is freaking magical. It’s audio of a BRM V16 powered Formula One car making laps. It is auditory gearhead porno.

This deceptively small (only 21" long) liquid fueled rocket engine was capable of pushing the AQM-37 Jayhawk target drone to which it was attached along at supersonic speeds. One high-performance variant of the drone managed to hit Mach 4.7 during testing! That's absolutely booking it when you consider that Lockheed's (manned) SR-71 Blackbird was "only" able to do about Mach 3.5 flat-out. This engine was originally designed by Rocketdyne, but the very same bar-and-shield company known more for its motorcycles than rocket engine expertise also had a hand in production. The rocket engines were built during Harley-Davidson's AMF-ownership years, with rocket engines and complete motorcycles both leaving HD's York, PA plant side by side. Over 5000 engines in total were built, although obviously they were intended to be (mostly) disposable, so many didn't survive. There are a couple of these engines at the Wheels Through Time museum in Maggie Valley, NC. They don't look like much sitting still in a glass case, but in this instance, looks can be deceiving. These particular hogs, can-in fact, actually fly! |
