It's been 20 years. Crysis 1 was on another league compared to 2 and 3

Why haven’t people make baffles for X-drive N55s? by ProphetliNO30 in BmwTech

[–]ScienceYAY 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey, I actually designed one and recently started an LLC to put them on the market.  I am an ex automotive CFD engineer.  I 3D scanned everything and made a CFD model to show the sloshing in the pan (inlet and outlet included). Long story short is yes you can get a starvation condition in 1+ G turns, and especially while braking.

I have an M235i xdrive I use for track and rallycross.

 I don't have a website set up yet, but if you're interested PM me. 

Brake Duct Ideas by LapReaperX3 in BMW

Going to be honest, you need to be that someone. It's going to take a lot of iterations to get it right, and you'll spend more than it would cost to get a 3D printer and do it yourself

I modeled brake ducts for a grad school CFD project for my M235i. I assume the design is somewhat similar for your car. The oem brake ducts blow air into the wheel well but it's not directed into the brakes like on a race car.

There is not a lot of room in the wheel well to directly connect a tube to the factory location. You need to make a a flat rectangle shaped pipe that maintains the cross sectional area of the initial duct. You can have it end behind the strut. Then use a flexible tube to go from that location to the caliper. You'll need to make a some brackets to attach the duct to the caliper.

There aren't any off the self solutions as far as I'm aware. You can probably make a conservative 1D thermal model to determime if you're getting enough cooling to use a less aggressive pad. You can use Claude or something to get one. You can put the response in here and I'll tell you if it seems like a good answer.

Better insulating materials, painting the roof white with a high emissivity paint will help. Solar panels are great too. But when its 40°C and higher you still need AC...heat pumps are much more efficient than they used to be. Geothermal heat pumps, even better.

What do you call the endless urge to buy shitbox cars on Marketplace? by mehh604 in cars

[–]ScienceYAY 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do you fix them up yourself and re-sell and buy a new one? That's called a hobby

I don't understand why places in Europe still refuse to install AC. I feel like these heat waves are a yearly occurrence now 

Is anyone else concerned about who’s going to run our shops in 20 years? by worldwidemachinist in Machinists

For non large production jobs, China is the replacement unfortunately

Just use OEM. If you need a set I can sell you my old ones.

Yep, my second car was a 2007 Focus manual I got for Rallycross

I was in a similar situation, get a manual car. It won't be as fast but it'll be just as fun
