184 MPH on a Bicycle...
 
.

This Woman Just Biked at 184 MPH to Smash the Bicycle Speed Record

Quote:

“The drive ratio is 62:12, twice,” said John Howard, Mueller-Korenek’s coach, who once held the motor-paced record himself at 152 mph back in 1985. “That’s roughly 488 inches, or approximately 128 feet per revolution. She’s traveling nearly 130 feet every time she turns those cranks. It’s pretty mind-boggling

What's the unicycle record?

Tether release at 1:31. at 100mph+. The only interesting part to me:

It’s also not a dance for the faint of heart. Ever since 1899, when Charles “Mile-a-Minute” Murphy set the first paced bicycle speed record of 60 mph while drafting off a steam train, it’s been a terrifying tango that has left many a rider dead or mangled. That was especially true after the 1930s, when cyclists took the game to a new level, riding behind souped-up race cars outfitted with wind-blocking fairings.

If this is in jest, be careful--you know there will be a Unicycling Federation that keeps track of such things.

Looks like there's no current record for fastest speed on a unicycle. But, check out that one hour record--32.3 kph average. For one hour. On a unicycle.

I enjoy time-trialing, but this woman is on another level. Motor-paced time-trialing is already nerve-wracking enough when you're behind a motorcycle and can still (somewhat) see around/over it. I can't imagine doing this behind a full fairing at 184 mph!

The fairing has windows near the top

This was much more dangerous than appear. One mistake could be fatal.

It can be cool, but she was pulled by a dragster with a wind protection...

I don't know what crashing on salt is like, but the main danger is from digging into the ground and causing the body to tumble. On asphalt it might not be as dangerous. Assuming the suit does not tear, the other factor is heat generation. You can get burns even if skin never comes in contact with the ground. I've maybe only crashed at 70 miles per hour before, and sustained no injury.

My avatar photo was taken on the day I had my 70 MPH crash. It was the right-hand turn just before where this photo was taken. Cameraman said my exhaust struck the inside curbing and put me into a lowside. Should have hung my butt off the seat more, but it was only my 2nd time.

Strange, this it's wrong:

1000x suns using advanced multi junction should render more than 40% efficience, but this 22 square meter render less than 20%, since each square meter have 1000w of sun light shining on.

Well, there's your problem. They're using mudules instead of modules. :)

Were you aiming this at The climate change consensus extends beyond climate scientists?

OOPS... sorry. It's 4Kw per dish.

Zenith Solar bankrupted and was bought by this chinese company. If they could manufacture the same system for a better price.
