Kingda Huh?
Apo yakatanga muna 2005, Kingda Ka kuNew Jersey Flags Great Great akaisa mazita kune mazita mazita maviri emapuraneti akareba uye akakurumidza kupfuura ose. Yaro 50.6-yechipiri adrenaline inomhanya yekutasva inotumira boka rinosunungura mushure wepamusoro-soro we 456-foot uye inosvika pakukwirira kwe 128 mph mumasekondi 3.5. Yikes!
Chii chinopa Kingda Ka zvinyorwa zvake zvinoshamisa-kuputsa oomph? Hydraulics.
Kana tsanangudzo iyoyo yepithy yave ichikudza musoro wako, ngatishandire mune zvimwe zvemashoko.
Kusvikira kusvika kuma1970, zvinenge zvese zvemazuva ano zvikwata zvemazuva ano zvakanga zvakaenzana. Pasinei nokuti nzira idzi dzakanga dzakagadzirwa nematanda kana simbi, ketani yepamusoro yekambiso inotungamirirwa nemotokari-tsvina-yakananga motokari inokurumidza ichikwira kumusoro kwechikomo chekumusoro. Pamusoro pegomo, ketani yakange isingagadziriswi uye simba rakapinda.
Vakawanda vanogadzirisa vakavakwa kubva kuma1970 apfuura vachiri kushandisa nzira yakaedza-uye-yechokwadi, asi vamwe vakagadzira varwi vave vachishandura makomo anosimudzira mapurisa ane nzira dzinoverengeka dzokugadzirisa. Vanogona kukwanisa kukurumidza, kukurumidza, zvikomo, uye (zvechokwadi) zvinonakidza, uyewo kugadzira marudzi akasiyana ezvakaitika zvekufamba. Achidanidzira kunze kwechiteshi chekusimudzira, akatanga vatengesi vakaita saMamboda Ka kubvisa kutarisira kwechikomo chekumusoro uye kununura chisingaiti chiito kubva pakutanga kusvika pakuguma.
Kuti vatumire terechi dzepamusoro uye vatasvi vadzo vasingatyi vachidanidzira kubva pakuenda-kuenda, vatasvi vemagetsi vakagadzira nzira dzakasiyana-siyana dzokutanga dzinosanganisira magnetic propulsion, compress air, uye jazzed-up magetsi motors.
Asi ma hydraulics anopa nzira yakajeka uye inobudirira yekukurumidza kuwana motokari motokari inokurumidza kukurumidza-NOKUSHA nokukurumidza.
A Coaster on Steroids
A hydraulic launch system yakangofanana nechepamusoro-soro-yechikomo chepamusoro ... pane mega doses ye steroids. Panzvimbo yeketani rinosimudza, mudziyo unoshandisa tambo iyo yakakuvadzwa ichikomberedza kukunda kukuru.
Yakasungirirwa kumakabheti imotokari inobata, chigadziri chinoputira pazvitima uye chinozvipinza pasi pasi purogiramu yokutanga. Kuti urove vaviri, "imbwa" inodonha ichidzika kubva pakati pechitima uye zvikorekedzo mumotokari. Panenge pazvikamu zviviri kubva muzvitatu zvekuenda pasi pasi paMamboda Ka's inotenderera kutanga, teregi inokurumidza kusvika kumhepo yakakwirira, imbwa inokwidza uye inodzinga kubva muchitima, magnetic brakes inononoka motokari yekubatwa, uye chitima chinoramba chichikwira kusvika kune 456 vertical top hat tower. Gravity inotora chitima ichibva kune rumwe rutivi rwemasvingo uye kudzokera kuchipatara.
Kusiyana nevanowanzogadzirwa, avo vanowanzosvika kumhanho yavo yakakwirira mushure mekuderedza doro rekutanga, Kingda Ka maawa mu 128 mbh panosvika kumusvingo. "Nenzira, tinoda kukurumidza kufambisa kumativi maviri emusvingo," anodaro Michael Reitz, nyanzvi yezvikwata uye Six Flags uye nhengo yeboka rekugadzira rakashanda kuna Kingda Ka. "Asi mhepo, mutoro unorema wevatakuri, kupisa, humhutu, nezvimwe zvinokonzera kuitika chaiyo." Anoti Kingda Ka anowanzosvika kusvika anenge 120 mph pasi peimwe rutivi rworusvingo vasati vafamba rwendo rwechipiri rwechipiri uye vanoenda kumba.
Izvozvo zvinotsanangura kuti matarenda aMamboda Ka anobvarura sei muchiteshi chekutakura.
Asi iyo winch inogadzira zvakaringana sei kuti iank tambo iri pasi purogiramu yokutanga? Hydraulics.
Reitz anotsanangura kuti iyo yechitsuwa inobatanidza masere mazana mashanu-hp hydraulic motors anogara pasi pedenga guru re hydraulic fluid. Inomiridzirwa nitrogen gas force iyo inoshandiswa mumvura kuti iite simba. Iyo injini inotsanangura kuti motori inotumira simba iyo inogadzira svondo guru rekuunganidza uye inofanidza hurongwa hwekuputira mabhaloni.
"Vanochengetedza simba guru, ipapo panguva chaiyo, chifukidzo, vanochibudisa," Reitz anoti. "Vanokwanisa kubudisa 20,800 peak horsepower." Nokuenzanisa, injini yemotokari inowanzopa anenge 175 hp. Tiri kutaura simba guru rakanyanya pano.
Kunyange Inokurumidza uye Yakakura?
Izvo zvakafanana (kana zviduku uye zvishoma) hydraulic rocket coasters, kusanganisira Top Thrill Dragster kuCedar Point uye Xcelerator ku Knott's Berry Farm).
Neyo-ultra-yakakwirira, ma-spec-fast-specs, Kingda Ka anobvunza mubvunzo uyu: Ndeipi yakareba uye yakakurisa vanga vangaita mapoka? "Chinetso hachisi 'Tinogona kuzviita here?' "Reitz anotaura, achitaura nezvekukanganisika kwebhanzi. "Mubvunzo ndewokuti 'Paripi?' "
Paki dzinogona kuvimba nevanokurumidza vatsva vachikwira kuti vaongorore maitiro avo pamahombekombe makuru, anokurumidza kufara, asi kodzero dzekuzvikudza dzinofamba kusvika ikozvino kana mabhadhareji ekutsvaira anotarisa kudzoka kwekutsvaga. Denga, sezviri pachena, ndiro rima (sezvinonzi speedometer), asi vangani mapaki angave achida kubvisa makumi emamiriyoni emadhora zvaizokwanisa kuvaka mashizha anotema denga?
Sezvo Kingda Ka akazarura, mumwe mubairo, Formula Rossa kuFerrari World muBud Dhabi, akashanda nerwendo rweNew Jersey senyika inokurumidza kuwedzera . Inoshandisawo hydraulic launch system. Kubva muna 2018, Kingda Ka achiri kutora nzvimbo yakakwirira . Asi kwete kwenguva refu zvakajeka. A "poler coaster" inonzi SkyScraper iyo inonzi inouya kuOrlando (kunyange zvazvo kuzarurwa kwayo kwave kunonoka kazhinji kacho) kunoshongedza pamusoro pemunda uno.
