[@donaldmoser212]

For those viewers thinking that these engines don’t put out 10,000 HP, you are right. For the 2018 season, top fuel engines are estimated to produce close to 11,000 HP. A few facts: No engine dyno exists that can handle all this power and give an exact HP reading; it is calculated based on a number of factors. The engines are fitted with a supercharger that typically provides 60 PSI of boost, but can provide 74 PSI Max. At max boost, it takes 1,000 HP just to turn the blower; 900 HP at normal boost. Two spark plugs per cylinder, two massive distributors per engine with an ignition system that generates 60 amps. When the engines are used in Top Fuel dragsters on land, the engines will propel the car to 100 MPH in the length of the dragster; that is 25 feet.

Which is why these accelerate faster than a top fuel car but slow down acceleration as they get faster due to the water creating friction and cavitation so they don't do a 1000 feet- a quarter mile as fast usually 4- 5 seconds at less than 250mph as opposed to 3- 3.5 seconds at 300+

All courtesy of Charles Parsons that invented the steam turbine and dropped them into a boat that ripped the propellers to shreds. So he built a small water tank and a high-speed camera which showed a phenomenon called "cavitation". Tiny vacuum bubbles that degraded the metals and he redesigned the props to withstand this to make the worlds fastest ship - by four times over and changed marine history forever. Without props that can withstand the solid uncompressability of water and the cavitation that takes place these props would explode instantly with far less than 10K of horsepower. And he did it in 1894 with the ship "Turbinia". *That's being way ahead of your time.*

I would REALLY like to see one of these races in person. AND a sprint boat race. Two on my bucket list. I was amazed when I saw one of these boats in person the first time...they are TINY! I've seen an unlimited "offshore" race, and that was spectacular. What really amazes me with these boats is the safety in place and how well it functions. I've seen several "incidents" where I didn't think the pilot had any chance of survival, and usually "walks away" unscathed. Kudos to whoever made this happen.

[@TimothyBruneau]

Being there is amazing, especially at the starting line. The thunderous sound, the 1/4 mile rooster tail, it's like nothing else you've ever experienced. See in in person if you can.

I went to a drag boat race back in 1996, Robinson reservoir near Turlock California . Fastest speed that day was 228MPH. Also saw a wicked crash. Halfway down the course, a boat disintegrated. The driver was ok, but the only part of his boat intact was the motor. Stood by the pits and watched the crews rebuild the engine. One of crew said to me “ See that, $5K in parts just to get ready for the next run. They tested the engine. The noise is insane.

I'd love to see the tip cavitation effect on a new prop after a single run. Do they appear damaged? Pitted? Warped? Chipped or cracked?

[@xtreme3minutevideos887]

Hi, the props last quite a few runs. They don't have cavitation issues because they are only partially submerged. The centre of the prop is at water level so when 1 blade is rotating in the water, the other blade is in air above the water. Hence the huge rooster tail.

[@beardymcbeardface69]

@@xtreme3minutevideos887 Okay, cheers for that info.

[@bennetteberle4476]

@@xtreme3minutevideos887 Cavitation damage happens when the vacuum bubbles on the vacuum side of the prop blades collapse. These props have sharp leading edges to force cavitation but they are past that large vacuum bubble before it has a chance to collapse. The singing noise you hear when you have a water faucet open only part of the way is cavitation and it's what eats up faucet valve seats. It happens more on the hot water faucet because hot water is closer to its boiling point and needs less vacuum to boil.
