Nos
 
Guess what guys? I bought a small bottlecaped sized alluminum tank and injected nos into it since my dad is a mechanic and wired it so that the electricty activated the tank and shoots the nos into the motor. Its so fast. At least 3 times as fast. The speed though might be becasue the air is pushing the car rather than powering it, I dont know, but it is fast. Go nos. Its so sweet. I go to like competetions and show them my nos tank. What do you guys think?

Oh my god dude, that so sweet. I did that too. ITs cool huh. Dont ligh the bottle though, lol.

Uh I'll try, but my nos tank's nozzle broke down. Guess it's not so durable. But it is cool, though.

ROFLMAO! Man, I don't fink this is true or its just a tank of compressed air or sumthin that you brought... :rolleyes:

yea post a pic, I can't really see how you can mount a tank onto your bit char-G and have it spray NOS into your motor, lol

...or that this would do anything to an ELECTRIC motor other than perhaps set it on fire!

I can't claim to be an electronics expert, but I do have some knowledge, and I can't figure out how NOS would have any effect at all on an electric motor, which neither combusts nor uses O2 at all.

However, a pressurized gas cylinder (filled with anything would provide quite a boost for a very short time, assuming the cylinder wasn't too heavy.

schoon, I think the entire thread is a work of fiction I'm afraid. From the second post where FunkyMonkey4 replies to himself pretending to be another person to the lack of willingness to post a pic of the alleged tank, I think the entire thing is just a joke.

FunkyMonkey4 07-31-2002 06:18 PM

Okay okay, Ill be honest, it was co2 not nos. But there was a cylinder. You know those c02 tanks from paintball guns where when something is touching the tip air shoots out for about a minute or untill you let go and the 12 grams last about 2 minutes, well thats what I used. I strapped a 12 gram to my car and used a toothpick to stab the hole and had tape aruond the nooze which shot air out at very high speeds which in turn boosted my car. And this story is true. Try it for yourself if you dont believe it. The only thing I lied about was the tank being nos. But I did it to make it sound better so you guys wouldnt laugh at me and for you to notice me.

FunkyMonkey4, take a picture of the car with the CO2 cartridge in front of your computer monitor showing this web site in the background, and you'll prove it to us. ;)

C'mon guys, you didn't know it was a joke from the very beginning?

The CO2 tank idea is actually quite old (but not for Bits). In middle school shop class, we made wooden cars for just that purpose and race them down the hall.

Of course, my lego car would blow the doors off of just about anything...two "C" rocket motors duct-taped to the lightest lego car frame I could make :D Sorry, no pics...those were the days before digital cameras existed and I didn't think to video tape it :(
