 | Space Race :: Race for The Moon [Part 1 of 5] Episode four: Race for The Moon (1964-1969) Both sides now plan to put a man on the Moon - the Americans pull ahead in the space race with Project Gemini, but then suffer a disaster with the Apollo 1 fire. Meanwhile, despite a few notable successes such as the first space walk by Alexei Leonov, the Soviet space program struggles to keep up amid internal strife. Glushko and Korolev permanently fall out in an argument about fuel; Korolev turns to Nikolai Kuznetsov to develop engines instead. Kuznetsov delivers the NK-33, very efficient but much less powerful than the Americans' F-1. The Soviet program suffers further blows when Korolev dies during surgery, Gagarin dies in a jet crash, Soyuz 1 crashes and kills Vladimir Komarov, and the prototype booster for the moon shot, the N-1 rocket, fails to successfully launch. In America, von Braun has continuing difficulties with the Saturn V, especially combustion instability in the large F-1 engine, but these are ultimately overcome almost by brute force at great expense, and the rocket successfully launches the first manned lunar mission, Apollo 8, and the first manned lunar landing, Apollo 11. The final episode finishes with brief textual summaries of the remaining careers of the various people involved. Space Race is a BBC documentary first shown in Britain on BBC2 between September & October 2005, chronicling the major events and characters in the American/Soviet space race up to the first landing of a man on the moon. It focusses on Sergei Korolev, the Soviets' chief rocket designer, and Wernher von Braun, his American counterpart. The series was a joint effort between British, German, American and Russian production teams. |

 | Helical instability in an underexpanded jet Schlieren images captured at 1,000,000 frames per second depict an underexpanded free jet of air with a nozzle pressure ratio (nozzle stagnation pressure divided by ambient pressure) of NPR=4. At this ratio the jet is influenced by a helical instability mode which causes the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Mach disks to oscillate about the jet axis. Also seen are acoustic waves generated at the edge of the jet, and travelling away from it.

 | Axially Flapping Instability in Impinging Underexpanded Jets Shadowgraph images captured at 1,000,000 frames per second show an underexpanded impinging jet of air with a nozzle pressure ratio (nozzle stagnation pressure divided by ambient pressure) of NPR=3, and non-dimensional impingement distance of Z/D=3 (Where Z is the impingement distance and D is the nozzle diameter). At this ratio the jet is influenced by an axially-flapping instability mode which causes a second shockwave to appear and disappear periodically in the axial direction, while a third shockwave oscillates with a flapping motion at a location just detached from the impingement plate.

 | Charge-Air Cooler Bypass - Mazda Miller Cycle Engine Operation of the charge-air cooler (intercooler) bypass system on the Mazda KJ-ZEM Miller Cycle engine used in the Mazda Millenia S, Eunos 800M and Xedos 9 Miller Cycle. The first part of the video shows normal operation. The second part, operation with the vacuum hose to the actuator disconnected and plugged. Without the engine running, the actuator is operated by residual engine vacuum, which allows the intercooler bypass to be activated before engine start. The residual vacuum is good for approximately two ignition on/off cycles as demonstrated. Once running, the engine must be taken above 4,000 rpm for the bypass to close allowing full flow through the intercoolers. Below 4,000 revs, the intercooler bypass is activated for "emissions and combustion stability" according to the Mazda Millenia Technical Highlights Manual. |
 | Dipetane-Improves fuel economy by 13% and reduces emissions Available in the USA at www.dipetanenortheast.com Dipetane, invented in Ireland 20 years ago, has been proven to reduce fuel consumption by 13% and reduce emissions by 25%. Independant test labs in Ireland, Europe, Asia and America have verified Dipetane's performance. What is Dipetane? Dipetane is a 100% hydrocarbon fuel catalyst that enabling gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, ULSD, heating oil and bunker fuels to burn more efficiently thus improving fuel economy while reducing emissions. Dipetane releases more chemical energy available from fuel, resulting in more power and better mileage. It also helps burns more carbons that would normally cause carbon deposit build-up, therefore extending both oil and engine life. What are the Benefits of Dipetane? • Increases fuel economy by 9 -15%. • Reduces emissions significantly. • Burns away carbon deposits from the combustion chamber. • Dipetane treated fuels actually burn cooler, significantly reducing nitrous oxide. • Reduces black smoke. • Meets or exceeds fuel specifications. No change to ASTM fuel specifications. • No changes to engines or fuel systems or EOM specs. • Cleans the fuel injectors and keeps them clean. • Lubricates fuel injection pumps and injectors. • Extends engine life. • Cleans tanks and supply lines of sludge and heavy deposits • Dipetane splash blends with fuel requiring no further circulation. • Blends at a ratio of 1:200; 1 gallon of Dipetane treats 200 gallons of fuel. • Treats fuel @1/2% by volume (under EPA 1% rule) • Increases available horsepower. • Dipetane has a longer stability life than diesel fuel or gasoline. • Adds lubricity to fuel. • Higher flashpoint than ULSD fuel. • Certified for use un ultra-low diesel fuel • Most economical technology in the world today. Requires no capital investment. |
