Came here to learn more about the Family behind this truck. So devastating to hear his boy died! I really want to know what exactly happened... But unfortunately, the one that knows for certain... Is no longer with us! So unfortunate! He was at the Battle Creek, MI feild of flight airshow. Which is not far from me at all! It's often been a place we go to have fun and watch balloons and fireworks or the Airshow. So knowing this iconic man and machine, took the life of a young man. Is truly heart breaking! I'm certain the father is blaming himself and feeling guilty for not being the one who drove that day! I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW IT MUST FEEL LOSING A CHILD! I'VE ONLY GOT ONE BOY, IF HE DIES I DIE! HE'S MY HEART, WITHOUT HIM. THERE'S NO ME! So if any friends or family of this young man read this.. Just know I send my condolences and I'll pray for you all! BE SAFE, TRY TO STAY POSITIVE! AND KNOW, HE WAS LIKELY NOT FORCED TO DRIVE IT. HE PROBABLY LOVED WHAT HE WAS DOING... It's truly unfortunate when something that brings us so much happiness. Can also bring so much sadness and devastation! 😢🙏😇😢

prancstaman.... "Back in the 90's"..... Neal didn't own it. The truck was originally built and ran in 1983 by Les Shockley which is how the name "Shockwave" came to be on the truck. Bob Motz from NJ was actually the very first one to build a jet powered semi... a KW. Bob's KW only had a single engine on his.... but I've seen him beat Les in the 1/4 mile, more than once. Neal talks a lot about the Pete running 376 mph.... but that was when Les had it, not Neal. Les actually has had a best run of 381+ with it in the "standing mile" (from a dead stop... like in drag racing.) and has had the Chevy at 401 and 406mph.

376 mph is 605.1 kph. Nobody is ever going to read this, but the power they give is BS, and here's the reasoning, for the record. Their web site says they run J34-48 engines but the highest mark I can find anywhere not linked to the truck is J34-46 which is around 3,500hp. There were a few versions with afterburner, the most powerful was the J34-WE-32 with 4,900 lbf (21.8 kN) thrust with afterburner. That would give 15,000 horsepower. You'd need more than twice that to reach their claimed power. So you'd need an afterburner that produced five times as much as the production models. These don't even have variable nozzles, so the thrust they give is increasing turbine exit pressure and reducing air flow through the engine. I wonder what AgentJZ would say about this? But in the end it's a show truck and it looks impressive. Other places claim they are using J85 engines, which are almost identical. Scaled Composites uses two of them on the White Knight lift vehicle and they achieve about 5,000 pounds thrust. If they really had 36,000 hp, which I have been conflating with pounds thrust, they'd be able to pull 5g off the line. The 1/4 mile runs I can find are all around 240mph or 107m/s in almost 7 seconds. v^2 = 2as, v=107, s=401, a = 107x107/2x401 = 15. That means 15m/s/s acceleration or 1.5g. 7,000 x 1.5 gives 10,500 pounds thrust ignoring drag which, given the huge drag at high speed, seems to fit with 15,000 pounds thrust those engines can really generate. There is no accepted thrust to hp conversion, it depends what you are doing. In mechanical terms 1hp is 33,000 pounds feet per minute, or 550 pounds feet per second. But if you don't achieve movement then what's the distance to measure you power over? Conversions range from 1-3.5 depending who you ask and what it's for. An LM1500 power turbine is based on a J79, you can convert them both ways without mechanical changes to the compressor or turbine, and that is rated at 10,000 shp. A J79 is rated at 12,000 pounds thrust. So in practice a 1hp turbine gives 1.2 pounds of thrust. So using a 1:1 conversion is pretty kind to truck. The LM 2500 is rated at 26,500 hp but the lowest power CF6 (from which they can be made by removing the fan) is rated at 41,000 pounds thrust. They uprated them in the 90s and the LM2500+ is rated just under 41,000hp but the turbofan versions go to 70,000 pounds thrust, so unless you know what core they used it's hard to calculate the actual conversion.
@DEBOSSGARAGE7 жыл бұрын
They probably figure out how much fuel they burn, the potential energy in that amount of fuel, and turn that into a hp number. Since nobody is going to argue them (except you lol) they can post that on a poster
@FLIP.CO_FPV7 жыл бұрын
I am a GT technician and am currently working on CT58-140. I completely agree that the hp figure is complete BS.They do however claim on their website that the truck only makes 21,000 LB thrust. Now the -48 model claimed to make 3400Lb thrust. With the engine running hotter than it would have been aloud to in the aircraft combined with the afterburner I could see the combined thrust (between the 3 engines) being close to the 21,000 they claim (although they are really are stretching it). However, this is a thrust engine and not a torque producing engine so trying to apply and Hp (RPM X Torque / 5252) is ridiculous.
@cageordie7 жыл бұрын
Right, the thrust to hp conversion is really a stretch. However, there are enough cores used for turbofan, turbojet and turboshaft applications to check that 1hp per pound of thrust is close enough. Another example is the aviation and marine RR Olympus where it was known as a TM3B, the Olympus 593 was around 30,000 pounds thrust and the turboshaft was up to 28,000 but derated to 25,000 in RN use. So the 1:1 conversion is pretty easy to justify. But when you start flying them the calculation of real horsepower achieved becomes difficult as speed and altitude change. GE claims the GE90-115B runs near 100,000 horsepower at cruise.
