Borussia Dortmund 3-1 Stuttgart: Key Talking points | High Quality Bronze Safety Valve

And this is why F1 is ever less relevant to the real world. Any time an innovation is “too good” and gives too much of an advantage, they ban it. Any time incremental progress makes the cars too quick (and therefore dangerous), they add some arbitrary artificial limitation. It’s basically become a competition between the regulators coming up with newer and stupider hoops to jump through, and engineers trying to jump through those hoops most efficiently.

While Noonan didn’t get to the school record for victories, because Jimmy Hoffman’s mark of 161 may never be touched, he ends with 152, good for second on the school’s all-time list. He also claimed the Cougars’ first regional title in nine years, and left a lasting impression in the wrestling room. The only two losses he had this season were to the state champion, Nate Schon from Selinsgrove, and last year’s state champion Hunter Catka from Sun Valley. Among other accomplishments, he also helped the team win two district duals titles with wins in the final duals of both championship years.

More like Harvey broke Hazleton Area down, while scoring a team-high 15 points and taking the Redskins on a ride to their third consecutive PIAA Class 6A Elite Eight game.

Senior guard Christian Ings is ranked the 14th-best player in the state by 247sports.com. He is averaging 18.5 points and will play at Rider University next season. Neumann-Goretti has a pair of 6-foot-5 juniors who contribute — Jordan Hall (10.2 ppg) and Cameron Young (9.6). Junior Hakim Byrd is a perimeter player who adds 12.8 per game.

With that little bit of negativity out of the way, let’s get back to what an entertaining engine the Duke has. The torque curve has 40 lb-ft available at around 2600 rpm and reaches its peak 59.9 lb-ft at 6,600 rpm. The hp curve is pretty dang linear and climbs relentlessly to its peak of 96.2 hp at the 9,000 rev limit. In between, the fuel metering is spot on with almost no abruptness in any throttle transitions. This holds true in both street and sport modes. If the bellow of the engine on the gas isn’t enough for you, wait until you roll off the throttle to tap down through the gears. Here, the engine gives a race-bike-like brat-patta-patta-pat-pat that just screams high-performance. Consider the KTM’s claimed weight without gas being 372.6 lb., add in roughly 26 lb. for fuel, and you’re looking at 96 horses driving a roughly 400-lb. motorcycle! (Unfortunately, due to a technical glitch, I was unable to get the actual weight of the 790, so you’ll have to wait until the inevitable shootout to get the MO-certified weight.)  

A few things have remained constant over that whole time. One is Hazleton Area’s press. Another is Neshaminy’s scoring balance. Then there are the players.

A dog left at a local animal shelter with a heartbreaking note pleading for a new home finally found a new family Friday. “She’s such a snuggly dog, and we think she’s so cute,” new owner Rachael, who did not want her last name reported for security reasons, says of terrier mix Sky. The 6-year-old dog was abandoned on the grounds of the Delaware Humane Association in Wilmington on Jan. 2 by a homeless family. “Please take care of Sky,” said the note left with the then-underweight dog. “I couldn’t take care of her. I became homeless and couldn’t feed her. She is not sick, just hungry, very friendly. Please find her a home. Please.” Rachael says her family was looking for a companion for their dog Jax, also adopted from the Delaware Humane Association.

Again you dodge the question, and provide nothing of substance. Enjoy your brief time here, pro-plauge troll. You will not last past the dawn.

A twin-spar aluminum frame has a massively triangulated section that bolts to bosses on the cylinder block, while rear mounts pick up the back of the engine lower. A 57.5-inch wheelbase works with solid, sporting steering geometry of 25-degree rake and 3.9 inches of trail. Claimed curb weight is 474 pounds. The new Katana rolls on Dunlop Roadsport radials in 120/70-17 front and 190/50-17 rear sizes.

One of the walk-ons is linebacker Robbie Dwyer, who played at Wyoming Valley West and Wyoming Seminary before enrolling at Penn State in January. He will wear No. 39 and is one of three WVC alums on the roster along with Lake-Lehman’s Nick Eury and Kaleb Konigus.

According to engineers, the cars we drove were 90 percent complete. Just a few more tuning tweaks plus some decisions on interior elements and option packages remain to be decided before it gets the final stamp of approval. By the time that comes, the Munich-based team will probably be working on variants such as the aforementioned four-banger; a targa roof is still possible, and there may yet be a manual transmission, although the latter is unlikely with the six because of concerns over shift quality with such a torque-rich engine.

And I would point out the following things about transmission vs engine: 1. active for longer periods (100ms range) vs. 30ms for 1000rpm engine 2. number of activations is in the range maybe 1/s (worst case city very aggressive driving) vs 16/s engine idle 3. work with much lower and slower pressures (in an engine, you will have 9-10bars at end of compression, before detonating the fuel) 4. transmission solenoid failure will result in disconnection, whereas engine failiure can lead to sudden stall, which the transmission has to disconnect, otherwise wheels will lock-up. Engine damage is implied. From 1. and 3., there are 2 electrical conclusions: they need a lot (10x-100x) of electrical power to do the job. Which leads to thicker wires, massive transistors (with massive heatsinks) and massive EMI. In short…..way too expensive. The concept is nice, but you should already know that things don’t scale in linear fashion and sometimes researching another domain is less expensive than developing this (looking at you, electric cars!). Why use tons of electricity for valves when you can sent it to the wheels?
