North Korea Hydrogen Bomb

North Korea conducted its most powerful nuclear test to date earlier today, and it’s claimed to be an advanced hydrogen bomb for a long-range missile. This prompted the threat of a “massive” military response from the United States if it or its allies were threatened. As opposed to the relatively simple atomic bomb, the hydrogen bomb can be 1,000 times more powerful, because it uses fusion – or atomic nuclei coming together – to produce explosive energy, rather than fission.

Mini 125cc V10 Engine

Sure, this V10 won’t be setting any speed records, but it’s definitely something you don’t see everyday, as it’s as 125cc miniature engine. “After completing a V8 I decided I wanted to do another engine. V8 and V12 have been done so I thought I’d try a V10. Initial research showed there wasn’t much info out there, but I figured out the firing order and crank design eventually. To get an even firing sequence the block vee should be 72 degrees, to match the crank angles. The Dodge Viper has a 90 degree block and unequal firing angles.Some engines have 90 degree blocks but have an 18 degree offset on the crank pins, to compensate. I decided on a 10 degree crank pin offset and an 82 degree block,” said its creator. Continue reading for more pictures and information.
