Did you really just invent a hood release mechanism that is in every car since 1950 and put it on the back?
You did.
Hey are you watching Two Stroke Stuffing’s channel? He’s making a run at Bonneville this year too. Interesting power plant you should definitely get some footage of his run. Good luck maniac
One time at band clamp…
It had to be said.
We need you for president matt
Fun fact. - People think Matt reuses the same still image of the Honda S600 for the outro, but In reality he go to the car and re-records it each week to show his fans exactly how much progress he's made with it in the last 7 days. :D
Obviously doesn't cord, his younger self does that work.
Exactly none?
@@althejazzman Every time. Stability and discipline 2nd and 3rd names.

Instead of using a spacer in the parachute tube with the smaller chute, fill up the void with glitter.
or a ham sandwich
@@generalee2010 Or a glitter sandwich
and snakes obvi.
amateurs never heard of glitter ham.
some extra hot sauce should make the car faster too
Trying to do my part to appease the algorithm
All hail the algorithm!
i want you
I'm doing my part
I’m trying licking it.
Viva algorithm!
I hope everyone considered the coefficient of friction of their sticker material before sending in their stickers!
A couple of layers of clear coat will take care of that 😂
@@jesperwall839And that clear coat may require more sanding.
@@ericfrentress8090 That clear coat will require sanding. How much sanding will be done? It depends how much patience Matt can muster ...
He needs a clear vinyl wrap after all the stickers go on. Solves the aero issue and makes it easier to clean.
@@bdkw1 It would be so nasty having to get vinyl into every crease of every sticker lol.
0:09 “Or Boeing who has the simpeler: Fail” 🤣🤣🤣
/venting noises/
Hey, that makes them the big bucks
Fail, and then lie about it.
If you want to get something right, do it wrong first.
Best quote ever
It really is. Doing something right the first time can ultimately be a negative if you don't actually understand why you succeeded. Sometimes it's just dumb luck, and you don't want life or limb depending on dumb luck.
@@daedalus_20v Failures are lessons and successes are the rewards for applying those lessons 🤙
You gotta run out of wrong ways to do it before You can call what You do "technology". Before that, it's just luck. And we all know how fast You can run out of that.
0:26 "It's because it's just more fun to do it that way." You say that like that isn't also the real reason the tech companies do it.
They 100% do it because of lack of intelligence.
Yup. Who does not like getting paid to blow stuff up ? Sure, the company owner, but ... he's in finance not tech :D
Facts
i love it when Matt casually pulls out the real real math to shut up all the youtube chair engineers screaming about safety and "thats not strong enough!!!" once in a while. Great to see you working on the landspeed car again i def still eyeing that viper in the background though. 👍
Thanks for making me feel less alone in earthing a MIG welder only through the metal plating on a rare earth magnet, erm, once. I say once as you can't do it twice, at least not without another magnet...
The way the tail section slots in is really nice. And the superstructure for the solenoids was genius move. So clean. Looks like you took notes on “things that sucked” and iterating through them methodically.
Might want to monitor the temp on the solenoid side of the shield though
@@plwadodveeefdv He said he’s gonna wrap it. Should help with thermal management. Thankfully the solenoids are on the outside of the bridge thing.
Everyone who is male or has watched Casino Royal, fully appreciates the priority you're placing on not crushing your nads. Good call.
With a sustained 18G decel at least you wouldn't bleed out through them since all your blood's in your feet.
For a quick easy exhaust disconnect, look at the Tri Clamp fittings from the dairy industry.
Easy to do, easy to safety wire, and they come in stainless.
Stork fittings?
There was this one time at band clamp.
Can you get exhaust temperature resistant seals for them? I’ve only ever seen stuff like Viton or ptfe
"Probably something catastrophic happening". Was waiting for Foreshadowing Matt to appear. 🤣
The fact you could say "or Boeing: FAIL" without looking around for their hitman was the best deadpan I've seen in quite a while! All Hail the Algorithm!
You learn more from your failures than your successes.
You so overestimate my ability to learn and explore hitherto unknown dimensions of failure on revision mark ii.
It's not that I'm incapable of learning/doing better. I just have more opportunities for something to catastrophically fail.
Better for all parties if the fates just rubber stamp it with a gimme.
Your ability to learn from your failures depends on your ability to gather information from your failures. That means adequate recording instruments and test parameters. The best thing you can get out of a failure without either of those things is that you can potentially clear up a lot of unknown unknowns and the questions that you didn't know you needed to ask.
Big problem with these videos is they’re too short, we want more !
12:37 "If you want something done right, do it wrong first" absolutely beautiful quote, I need that on a t-shirt immediately.
EVERY time you remind us about that ham reinforced composite I want to scream! 😂
For your quick disconnect exhaust, look at V-Band clamps. Usually used on turbocharger piping.
With my old Racecars, I’d make a part, set it aside, make another one, set it aside, and just keep doing that until I couldn’t make it any better anymore. This doesn’t work well for expensive things, and many times it got limited to two or three times, but it did make things better, almost as good as if I had paid a pro to do it and sometimes it even came through cheaper than the pro lol
On the lockout safety pin for the parachute, mount a big red ribbon that says, remove before flight... :D :D
For the safety pin holes for the parachute, you could design a spring powered flap to cover/fill the hole when the pin is removed. Just a fun extra project
In the pre NASA days my grandfather worked out at Cape Canaveral. They used to do that second method a LOT. I think he liked when things blew up
2024 SCTA rule book. pg 41 "All non manual parachute release systems must also have a redundant, manual release as a back-up..." I hope to see you in Tech at Bonneville. And hear you ran well. Keep up the good work, if it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
The most solid of 'shutes.
The best part about Matt being super famous now, is I can skip the ads and not ruin the algorithm too much.
Love this! I have long thought that I know everything on my car is done the right way, because I did it the wrong way first to check', But "If you want something done right, do it wrong first" will fit on a t-shirt much better.
If you're supposed to do it wrong the first time, then if you do it right the first time does that mean you've still done it wrong? 🤔
Yes. Definitely
Absoeffinglutely.
Hey matt, about the material choice for the latch. Carbon fiber + aluminium + salt water. Something something galvanic corrosion. Maybe a barrier is needed?
Looking forward to the final look with all the stickers
The intro monologue is so true. You just don't know what you don't know.
Totally agree with the just try it mentality. I’m building an engine for my racing go kart right now and didn't have a clue what I was doing. Learned sooooo much building that. Although most of the lessons boil down to some variation of stop being cheep and just spend the money to get the right _____. Being a cheep bastard has its flaws. On the bright side I have some real shiny and expensive parts in my motor and some new tools. Also a lot more knowledge than I did before. Who knew valve lash was so important🤷♂️
Matt using air hose quick disconnects for the parachute cable disconnects reminds me of something similar I did in college. For an intro to engineering class, I used hose quick disconnects for attaching a golf bag trailer behind a bike. I screwed an eyebolt into the NPT threads until they locked together. The eyebolt was attached to another eyebolt to create a joint for the trailer. It worked great.
Wetted area is why sailplanes went to tadpole shape.
You made it onto my favorite quotes list with "If you want something done right, do it wrong first" - SuperfastMatt 👍
An applause for Matt for making it better than the previous design👏
09:08 - "Then there was this one time, with Matt's Band Clamp...." 😏😉 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😎🇬🇧
For the cheeky algorithm: I tried to bribe it, but then it txted: what do you think I am, a supreme court justice?
Another hugely enjoyable video, thank you Matt. Also, I listened to the HP Academy podcast interview, fascinating and highly recommended to other SFM fans
Such a underrated channel...
"If you want something done right, do it wrong first"
Words to live by...
“You have to lose to learn how to win”
- Dream On from Aerosmith.
I'm really looking forward to seeing you take this thing out once it's done! I love your 'do it the DIY hard way' approach- that's like my Life's motto
As the 4.5mi safty guy for world of speed. I think different. What is the loss of power fail safe?
A thought.
Add a spring inside the air cylinders( all 3 making them dead man switched) makint them fail safe inthe open position. If power or air is lost the shoots deploy and activate the power kill. This would have saved one of the streamliner teams a pile of cash and made for a smaller fire.
Use the remove befor flight red flaged pins .
All good rhythm
For the exhaust connections I recommend something alike the bleed air pipe clamps on the 737. It’s 2 flens ends with a concave pipe end on one side. Then there is a clamp that holds the 2 flenses tight together. And with a copper or Alu gasket in between you have a quick detachable gas tight pipe.
I love the quick math break downs to back your reasoning for things. It’s cool to learn the way you evaluate load on parts as you build.
"If you want something done right, do it wrong."
That's beautiful.
Its always a good day when matt post
8:17 - are these figures backwards? The say the cross sectional area of the mild steel is .375, but you give it 150ksi tensile strength, and then say the bolts are 3 times stronger than the mild steel. Adjusting for what I think it should be, it's 11,250 lbs on the mild steel and 12,690 lbs on the bolts. Still 24,000 pounds, but perhaps this is the Boeing way of good enough, and not the SpaceX way. 😁But NASA would probably also look at the beam bending forces of the mild steel clip to make sure it doesn't straighten out the first time you pull a chute!
Thank you for doing what you do man. Its very inspiring how you tackle problems and get past them. Takes quite the man to be human these days. Much love!
I am really looking forward to seeing this machine go. I really like this show, and I'm not even that much of a gear head. My grandfather was an engineer, and he used to build and repair everything you can imagine. This show reminds me of him. He would have loved this stuff.
SuperFast publish I put like before watching
At first you don’t succeed, keep trying until it looks like you did succeed. Certified good enough!
Lol "but enough about my dating life.."
Well played sir.
BTW the rear window on my project car has a Certified Good Enough sticker.
you should consider adding a trailer hitch to the viper so you can use it to transport the land speed car. for style points.
Porsche tried the long tail vs short tail in their 917. Total drag was about the same, but the short tail was more agile. With the long tail, the center of pressure is further aft making it more stable. I seem to recall GM tried the same test when they were testing the Ecotec engine. Top speed was the same.
All hail Al Gore's ithm.
Al Gore ithm of the night
“All Hail the Al Gore’s Rhythm” … 😂😂😂😂
Have you thought about making it with golf ball dimples? It might reduce the air friction by creating a layer of air acting as a squishable sponge or it might make it a lot worse
Your body will have a lot of imperfections that isn't in CAD that will add a lot to surface drag. So you might want to prioritize lowering surface drag over lowering pressure drag. DISCLAIMER: I don't actually know what I'm talking about but I think bit sounds reasonable, just might be worth looking into.
No, but stickers tho!
No worries, that's why he waxes himself and slathers himself in oil before each run. The byproduct is after the salt and oil mix, and he bakes in the desert sun, he is delicious.
@@12x2richterhe buys buckets of lard, it may be expensive but that is the cost of SPEED
Since u dont want to fully sticker bomb the car, i think it would look kinda cool to have the driver canopy and surrounding area mirror the helmet of ur channel icon, it always reminds me of it.
another great one!!
Matt, as always, you make my week with your content. Thank you.
love watching this build
That quick-disconnect for the chute cables is damn clever, would love to see more of that as it gets finalized.
So true, the unknown unknows until you try it, simulating fiberglass bondage doesn't answer all the questions. Significantly better sounds like progress. Nice work.
I like that Superfastmatt uses motorbike parts like brake/ clutch cable adjusters in peculiar but useful ways!
Hey Matt- This is Tony, I met you at The Petersen Car Show. I was 100% WRONG about my corvette project. It does NOT have a built-in air tank, instead what chevy used are actuators that hold a certain amount of air needed to make the headlights move up & down. I have decided to keep the standard suspension and just update the components
I watched the Simms & Rohm GSXR burn to the ground at Bonneville, the carbon seat/tail section shorted the battery out at speed.
I Love your Channel! Please keep up the wonderful work!
Thank you for making my day better with you build commentary.
5:14 -- When Matt talked about "friction drag" I immediately thought of covering the whole car in butter to help increase speed.
Delicious, delicious butter 😊
It's betta with butta
But all the butter was used on the ham sandwhitch
I continue to enjoy every episodes, thanks for the great work and keep it going. Cheers
these videos just keep getting better and better!!!
You should make a cord that goes from each parachute to mechanism that pulls the opposing shoot out. Backup to the backup
I’d worry about that potentially hanging up and causing both to not open properly. Especially since if one doesn’t deploy there may be a reason which also might be enough to make the other one not deploy.
Sometimes better to have 2 separate systems so they are less likely to fail together and you’d get at least half power.
Griplock cable connectors for the chutes
I’m not an expert by any means, but if I were designing the parachute cable release system, it would be such that the cable holds it shut not pulls it open; that way if the cable fails the parachute immediately comes out instead of not at all
I'm impressed All hail the algorithm
8:15 why is the force in lbs? that doesn't make much sense to me, in metric it always comes out in newtons, why is your force in mass units?? also are the inches in your equation already squared or is that the diameter? so many questions
surprised the skate key roller on the back isn't extended a couple inches further than the parachute tubes. Also thinking the bolts attaching the rear chute assembly should align inline with the chassis utilizing the full load capability of the hardware.
I'm loving how initially resistant Matt seemed to 3d printing and now he's just slapping it in all over the place 😁
It’s wild how much more useful it is than I thought it would be.
@@SuperfastMatt This is how it be. Some tools you need to get before you know how to use them. The problem is its hard to know till you have one, and its hard to justify till you know.
Luckily 3d printers are that price range where you can yolo. A cnc 4th axis, steel capable mill on the other hand...
Keeping it real again, awesome progress 👌
Matt, you've inspired me. Not to build a racecar, but to get a 6kw CNC laser cutter.
Quick release for exhaust? use the racing two stroke system, traction springs. 10 seconds, job done.
I recognise the safety pins from a Nexo line array speaker system, and they are really expensive for what they are.
The first minute of this is just 👌🏻 *chef’s kiss*
Soooo, let me get this straight…
Do everything wrong on the first try. ✅
Create a UA-cam channel where nothing is right on the first try. ✅
Be just as super cool as Super Fast Matt. ❌
I guess I’ll try again. ✌🏻
Is there not enough room to mount the two air actuators to the release mechanism for the chutes. The. All you'd have is two quick air fittings, no cables. Seems like all that extra stuff isn't really needed.
You need to put water through a hose to find the leaks, : ) love your work.
Have you tried using V-band clamps for the exhaust? It allows flex and is very quick to assemble/disassemble
Looks like its coming along great. Can't wait for your first full speed run with bodywork.
Have you consider using a safety wire/locking wire on the bolts that holds the rear on?
Learning through doing. I like it. I do it. "Planning as I go" I call it.
Awesomeness as usual, love the new design!
As always, great content. Friction and tubes. Who knew that would make a wonderful video to watch.
One thing to consider would be the center of gravity to center of pressure.
One of the first things learned in amateur rocketry is keeping the center of gravity in front of center of pressure will keep from random psychotic flipping and destruction at high speed 😊
My NASCAR boss (back in the day) was showing is his Caterham kit at his house and dropped a live cable onto the carbon floor pan to similar effect. ⚡🔥
Where is the CG of the car with the driver seated? I would think you would want the CG around the feet of the driver, so that you have steering and traction. You could add weight in the tail section to change the CG. Have you thought about adding flaps to aid in steering or traction?
Thanks for spelling out the strength cals, but I note that three eighths of an inch is not a measure of area.
Another good one Matt thanks .
