Yea, i wonder what all they had to do to the engine to get it to produce 700HP! I saw one with 700HP too. Twin turbo... I wonder how reliable a busa is after you put a couple turbos on it! Somehow it seems that it would not like all that power.

I have a gsxr-750 '92 model in my room, if only i had some money to fix it up!

Since the topic of this thread is cool pics after all, i have a picture that is relevant to the conversation as well.

Hayabusav8

A V8 hayabusa?!? Hehe, they took 2 cylinders plus the carbs, pistons and other associated parts, and custom machined a crankshaft and crankcase i believe. The output was 400hp if i remember correctly. Not sure if the first pic is the same.

Holyfuckhayabusa

A three wheeled busa... Now i have seen everything.

edit: fixed the oversized pic, it seems instead of saving the updated size of the pic on photobucket over itself does not work, had to make a copy.

Laser anyone? In the day, When ambient sunlight enters my room, and my lights are on, the beam is clearly visible. In a dark room, the beam is bright. No need for 'smoke machines'

Pics reposted few posts down

Picture above, Was me shining the laser at my teeth. The reflection you see is well, spit. Just makes cool effects on the wall :D

200mW And yes I own laser glasses.
Youtube also shows my 120mW bluray laser.

Getting a 300mw bluray soon, and a 400mW red.

Is it a cat scratching post or a knitted furry tesla coil?

Hi All!

My last fun experiment: a MAGLEV TOY TRAIN!

The rails are made with powerful neodymium magnet sticked on a iron plate, the train is made with a carved plexiglass and the "core" of the system are four YBCO (yttrium barium copper oxide) superconductor disks cooled with liquid nitrogen!

Unfortunately this is a bit off topic here, is a videoclip NOT a pic, but who cares?

Ciao!
Fabio.

@ killa-x,

did you host the images somewhere else? - they are just showing as white boxes with "X" in the corner which means if you did they might have been taken down or the link broke. All the other images in this thread appear just fine.

Night vision tube pics...

This is a very old Gen 0 non intensified IR converter tube but it still works fine.
seems to need 16KV which i provided using a convenient plasma globe supply with one of Proud Mary's diodes in series to get about 10KV DC.

works well with one of my 0.5W NIR LEDs as the source.
Watch out though, as with the setup shown here the "front" of the tube is at -HT which is hazardous.

Now to get it to detect particles...
someone suggested using a piece of defunct EL sheet with the front ITO removed as a scintillator, reckon this might work?
obviously the better approach would be to spin coat the input window in uv adhesive, partially dry then carefully sprinkle (again using spin coating) some ZnS:Ag and fully UV cure to yield a bulletproof waterproof coating.

To add intensification (needed for most if not all particles) i could run it a little "hot" (increasing the photocathode's gain at the cost of tube lifetime) and also install a CMOS camera behind a well insulated "hood" focussed on the screen and underclocked by 50% to allow it to detect the fluorescence from a sub threshold event.

Odd, Showed for me. I'll do 4HV instead of my site.
