Invisible Aluminum

Can you imagine seeing the internal workings of your engine while it's running? Wonder Woman's invisible plane doesn't sound all that impossible now does it?!

I remember on star trek when they had to take that whale back to the present with them on the ship scotty showed that one guy how to make transparent aluminum.

They said that in the article. It's not fiction anymore. It's badass

That would be awesome in something like my dirtbike with an exposed engine. Too bad it has a cylinder liner anyway...

looks like we'd die of radiation poisoning...

that would be so badass to see the explosions and how fast they actually happen.

on a 2 stroke dirt bike those engines run at like 15k rpms too

**Smkn_TA** · 07-31-2009, 12:19 PM

Maybe a two stroke snowmobile runs at 15k rpm, but my cr250r dirtbike I had I highly doubt went over 10k. What would really be cool with this is for diagnosing problems, wierd noises, etc.

service manual of my yz125 clearly stated that the ignition spark cutout was at 14.5k. the 250s are probably still 12 or 13k. they have very lil friction

something like a yz80 probably is right at 15k rpms. R6 redlines at 16,500 rpms and thats a 4 stroke

my 00 yz125 seemed to cut at around 13.5-13.7 in that range...

seeing a sleveless ferrari V8 with this new see through aluminum would be the sexxxx!

Whilst the invisible effect lasted for only an extremely brief period - an estimated 40 femtoseconds

**SteveCZ28** · 07-31-2009, 12:43 PM

the most ive ever seen for a sled is 8k....and thats on a 800 twin

i was thinking of that immediately! scotty talking into the computer mouse!

It's a reversible state, so its not going to be making engine blocks anytime soon...

**wheeliE-maxx** · 07-31-2009, 05:44 PM

my bike's limiter is 13.2k A 250 two stroke makes power at about 8000 rpm, so it's not going to be revved very high.

2 stroke 250s have a real long stroke as well. they still rev up though. But i was referring to mainly 80s and 125s.

As much as anything this is only the beginning. There shall be more to come, at least in OUR world. I can't speak for yours. Doubter . . . what elst doth thou doubt? Do your own eye's deceive thee?
