Atom Chips Power Car Attempting 1,000MPH

Ever dreamt of a car that goes 1,000 mph - twice the speed of a commercial jet and nearly the speed of the earth's rotation? Engineers have developed the Bloodhound SSC, a jet and rocket-powered supersonic car expected to break the 1,000 mph threshold. At the heart of the design are Intel Atom-powered advanced engine controls and driver information displays that provide vital information to the driver about the condition of vehicle and performance. Check out the Bloodhound car animation video. To help educate students about the project and the science behind it, 26 Intel employees will join the Bloodhound Education Ambassadors Program.

pretty good graphics

I like the part it breaks sound barrier :D

cool

I wonder what would happen if it drove right by you at like 800mph...

you'd hear nothing, and then there will be a big sonic boom. Then you'll be deaf, proceed to sue whoever's driving it, and get rich.

you wouldnt survive.. im guessing severe hemorrhaging or internal bleeding in the head.. that or you'd get blown the hell back..

I still remember watching the documentary when Richard Noble and Andy Green broke the sound barrier in Thrust SSC. Looks like they're trying to get them back together for this attempt.

i go 899mph when my vtack kicks in....

i want that for my dd

hahaha fck the rocket car, i want the equally fast 1000mph helicopter thats filming them

i kept reading driver in the description

who the fuck would drive that?

edit: and it does all that in less than a mile...

First thing that came to mind was Fast and Furious

Air Force pilots, namely Andy Green of the British Royal Air Force.

kooll

TOO SOON JUNIOR ---- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1000MPH
