@@roachwerks3043​​⁠​⁠​⁠ One of our next actions is to run our bumps on our shock dyno VS hydro/air bumps!

Hey Matt! A t-shirt is certainly better than nothing, but I strongly recommend something like a dust mask or in more super dusty conditions, a respirator. Silicosis is no joke, and there is no cure. My grandfather died of complications from a lack of PPE when working with glass dust and paint solvents, so if I said nothing I think he'd probably haunt me or something.

[@heinrichgerhardt6119]

A tip: save all the bits you sawed off of the bumper/hood/fascia/etc so that if Future Matt is broke and wants to sell the Viper, the next guy (it'll probably be a guy) can rebuild the bumper and fascia to make them worth thousand$ again. That's one nice thing about composites.

The argon idea was good. When eventually your box frame decides to rust away, and you need to weld whatever was found in the scrapyard to keep the car going, there is argon ready to be used inside the car's shocks.

[@speedmaverick]

Argon was one of the speed secrets when it came to filling tires in NASCAR's top series. It would be stable within 2 psi on long runs. In a shock with much lower volume of gas, the pressure change would be almost undetectable. Argon is FAR better than nitrogen when it comes to pressure stability with temp change.

6:29 I have a funny story, that I reckon you'd like (involving bump stops). Back in the 90's, when I was a Tank driver, I did an awesome jump in my Leopard AS1A4 MBT. I landed just a bit harder than normal.....maybe a lot harder, actually. I fused all four rear bump stops into their compressed position, so hard that we needed to oxy all of them off as they'd welded themselves in place. Destroyed six support arms, and one front idler, as well. I'll gloss over the bit where I was almost ejected, and decapitated, simultaneously. Fun times. Love the build!

[@MrSkyentist]

Nitrogen and Argon are both very well behaved gases, meaning not much deviation from ideal gas law.

[@brianb-p6586]

Air is 78% nitrogen, so it should be no surprise that it changes pressure with temperature about as much as pure nitrogen. Water is the problem, and that's true whether it's water in air or water in nitrogen. The advantage of bottled dry nitrogen is that it is dry, not that it is nitrogen. And the Ideal Gas Law applies identically to all gases... because it's just for the ideal case.

Oh man, the viper purists are going to lose their minds. Keep up the good work

[@ameraldas3641]

hey matt, the thing you are referring to for the differences of nonideal gas behavior are called vander wall's constants. they basically get plugged into vanderwalls equation which is basically a variation of the ideal gas equation to describe non-ideal gas behavior. I have done a little reasearch on this as I, like you had argon lying around for welding but no nitrogen and had some shocks lying around. And as it turns out Argon has similar Vander walls constants to nitrogen, so there really shouldn't be any appreciable difference between them. As I am sure you know argon is less reactive than nitrogen, but the main reason why IFP or bladder shocks are filled with nitrogen, is because of the lack of water content that air has which is the main contributer to non-consistent behavior of air chambers in suspension, that and its cheap.

The metal "circle" mentioned at 7:18 is a disk. Each edge of a disk is a circle.

[@TheEulerID]

Air is already 80% nitrogen. My best guess as to using nitrogen is that it will be dry, and you also don't want free oxygen in the system, as it is reactive. Argon will behave closer to an ideal gas than either nitrogen or oxygen as it is inert and monotonic. From what I can understand Nitrogen is mostly used as it is cheaper, but they ought to perform very similarly.

[@jackrichards1863]
