I got a 350 chevy, not sure of the compression ratio, was trying to figure out approximately what it is without tearing down. A bracket racing engine that is expected to live a long life will give around 175 to 185, A race engine going for power will have as much as 225 PSI but will require race fuel and higher rpm. Static compression ratio is a bit diffferent as it does not allow for the factor of cam timing and therefore is almost useless other than for reference work.Ī good street engine with a stiff cam wil give about 165 PSI. It is reasonably acccurate for this type of work. The 1.31 accounts for the principles of Charles Law about heat and pressure and the 14.7 is the average air pressure at sea level. Divide that figure by (1.31 X 14.7) and you will have the actual compression ratio. General rule of thumb for acceptable dynamic compression ratio to run safely on pump gas is 8:1 maximum for engines with cast iron cylinder heads and 8.5:1 with aluminum cylinder heads.Warm engine. However, that same 11:1 static compression ratio engine with the radical 259/269 duration camshaft would have a dynamic compression ratio in the neighborhood of 7.5:1, totally acceptable to run on pump gas. Therefore with the mild cam it will have a high dynamic compression ratio, probably 9.5:1+ which would be way too high to run safely on 91 octane gas. If you put a very mild camshaft (194/204 duration this cam will have an "early" IVC (intake valve closing point), and will "bleed off" less compression than a radical camshaft with 259/269 duration and a considerably "later" IVC. To give an example, lets say you're considering only pump gas for your engine, and it has a static compression ratio of 11:1. Unlike Static Compression Ratio, Dynamic Compression Ratio takes into account camshaft timing by considering the intake valve closing point in relation to the piston position. Static Compression Ratio numbers are the ones you hear thrown around the most ("10:1 compression"), and it takes into consideration the full sweep volume of the cylinder in regard to its range of crankshaft stroke. This calculator will calculate both Static and Dynamic compression ratioĬompression Ratio is the ratio of an engine's cylinder volume vs. ![]() Get optimized videos for playback on portable devices like iPhone, iPad, PSP, iPod, Wii, Zune, etc.Add transition effects between two clips and apply motion effects to photos for a natural and smooth transition.30 filters + ready to work with video and photos.

The thing I like most about it, though? No media library! So many editors, like iMovie, require your videos be stored in a "media library" from which to choose them from.

![]() ![]() I was considering what sort of machinery to put into the dock when I realized the dock doesn't do the construction (kerbals do, even if remotely), but rather it acts merely as an anchor point for the ship under construction. I actually thought long and hard about size limits while making the model for the orbital construction dock. Building monster ships requires monster infrastructure, to which the pad is peanuts in comparison. That 2kt rocket has about 1.8kt of fuel (that's a lot of kethane refining) and about 200t of rocket parts (400m 3 (160000u) is a lot and will take a lot of mining, smelting and manufacture. For one, size limits are already taken care of by the need to have the required resources on hand. While making construction take time would be a nice addition, I'm not so sure about size limits. The hab module has been built and moved over with a little tug.ĭ'oh, not enough parts to build the tank.Īfter shipping up some more parts, the tank is built and being moved into position by the station's tug (which was built just before the hab module was). As of 5.1.90, survey stakes now require the use of the mallet (new part). To use stakes, attach some to the ground, configure them (details in the release notes), and use a Survey Station (also new in 4.3.0, but for now is a clone (separate part) of the hitchhiker can). Survey stakes (new feature in 4.3.0 and requires Kerbal Inventory System) work only when landed and they need to be carried around in a KIS container or on the back of a Kerbal, and can be attached only to the ground or a permanent feature (such as the launchpad at KSC, or at least they could while I was testing in 0.24.2). Once the release bug (see below) has been worked around, the new ship will slowly drift away (as expected for two objects in orbit). To release the ship, right click on the dock and click "Release". When in orbit, the new ship is spawned "docked" (docking ports not required) to the construction dock and must be released (the build menu will be unavailable until the new ship has been released). When landed or splashed, operation is exactly as it was before. Also note that MKS hides most of EL's parts as it provides its own versions.Īt this stage any pad, the runway or the dock can be used landed, splashed or in orbit. Note, however, that MKS has built-in support for EL, so you do not need this patch.

The major Joolian moons are so massive compared to their size and their real-life counterparts that one of them, Val, would be ejected from the Joolian system after a few orbits if they weren't on fixed rails. Additionally, orbits won't decay as long as you are above a body's atmosphere (Karman line), so exospheric drag and the effects of gravitational anomalies aren't modeled either. Space itself in KSP is a true vacuum, so solar wind and the force of light have no effect on spacecraft. Special orbits involving lagrangian points are impossible as spacetime isn't modeled. Physics wise the game uses patched conics only, so spheres of influence are in fact perfect spheres. ![]() Other research suggests that taking up the sport of pickleball can help older adults make a smoother transition into retirement, which is a major life change.Īccording to previously mentioned research, people burn an average of 350 calories per hour of pickleball play. One study found that “serious leisure” activities, defined by qualities such as perseverance, effort, and social benefits (and of which pickleball is considered one), are associated with a lower likelihood of depression. And socializing helps counteract loneliness, something that puts people at a higher risk of dementia, heart disease, stroke, and depression, according to the CDC. One of the cornerstone benefits of pickleball is that it’s an opportunity for socialization. One study found that pickleball participants reported feeling like the sport offers an aging-friendly way to remain competitive, something that they felt had been missing since their younger years. And pickleball is a sport that’s suited for all ages, including older adults, since you can control the intensity of play, the smaller court means less distance needed to run, and most of the strokes are underhand or lateral, which means less strain on shoulders, says Dr. Staying active as you get older is linked with improved mobility, physical functioning, and mortality. Increased Activity Levels for Older Adults The previously mentioned Science and Sports study concluded that playing doubles pickleball elicits greater physical activity demands (in terms of average heart rate, peak heart rate, caloric expenditure, and perceived exertion) than walking. Some potential health advantages that research has linked to the sport include: Better Cardiorespiratory Fitnessīecause pickleball is an aerobic exercise, it improves the health of your heart and lungs.Ī small study from the American Council on Exercise found that VO2 max (a measure of cardiovascular fitness and endurance) improved by about 12 percent among a group of middle-aged and older adults (40 to 85 years old) after they began playing pickleball one hour per session, three times per week for six weeks, and they also experienced a decrease of 5 points in their systolic blood pressure and 3 points in their diastolic blood pressure. ![]() Compared with walking for 30 minutes, people say they that enjoy pickleball 150 percent more, according to a study published in September 2022 in Science and Sports. Pickleball, like other types of exercise, delivers some big health benefits.Įvidence (and the sport’s widespread popularity) suggests that pickleball is indeed a type of activity that keeps people coming back. ![]() Pickleball is considered aerobic exercise that incorporates movement by your entire body as you run around the court and rotate your trunk and upper body to hit the ball, says Nicholas Greiner, DO, a sports medicine doctor at Mercy Clinic in Ballwin, Missouri. The game is fun to play - and it’s a real workout, too. (The “pickle” in pickleball may have come from one of the families’ dogs, according to USA Pickleball.) Though the sport’s popularity may seem like it’s reaching a fever pitch now, it’s been around since 1965, when three dads invented the game to occupy their kids. “When beginners first play, they tell me that pickleball feels like playing Ping-Pong standing on the table,” says Ernie Medina Jr., DrPH, an American College of Sports Medicine–certified clinical exercise physiologist and a USA Pickleball Ambassador based in Loma Linda, California. USA Pickleball defines pickleball as a court sport that’s played with wooden paddles and a perforated plastic ball. Some describe pickleball as a cross between tennis, badminton, and table tennis.
