Does anyone know where I can find a link to the description of a Merlin Racing Engine and what it goes through as it is racing around the course, I have seen this paragaph somewhere but cannot find it again. It describes how fast the engine is turning, what it is comsuming, how far the a/c goes, I beleive in a one second interval. I thought it was from Rolls Royce, I visited their website but cannot find it anywhere, if anyone has an idea where it is I would appreciate it, thanks.

So it took me 2 hours. Thanks for the kick in the rear. I have been meaning to do this (and a few other things).
Here is "One Second on the Course with Dreadnought"
A big round of applause to Tom Fey!

Thanks alot for both of those links, I had to show those to some guys that were talking about how much a Drag racing engine went through in the 5 odd seconds it runs, not that I have anything againist Drag racing, its awsome but just had to put my .02 in for Air Racing.Comment

Re: 1 second in the life of a Racing Merlin?
TOP FUEL 8 grand of ponies @ 4.5 sec reality check
4.5 sec under load
7600 revs =s
125/sec
=s
4.5x125
=s ~ 600 rotations
./. by 2
=s
300 actual power strokes getting to the beams
(66 revs/sec)
obviously they do the deal..... ie. mid 4s @ 330 klicks
never been good a math... do the nmbers look rght?
