top fuel dragster engines
What is the most powerful 'piston engined' car ???
I have rephrased the question ( Sorry ) ... also this is my best answer... If you've got a better one... please post... Thanks...
The most powerful car in the world is the 'Quad A1'. It was designed by Jim Lytle in 1964 and was presented at the Los Angeles sports arena in 1965. The car featured four V12 Allison T56 aircraft engines totalling 112087cc and produced 12000 bhp (today's top fueled dragsters produce a maximum of 6000 bhp). The car had AWD with 6 disc clutch assemblies, had a 13 1/2 foot wheelbase, weighed in at about 3500 lbs and had 96 spark plugs and 96 exhaust pipes. Although now scraped (cause Jim's stupid wife didn't know what to do with it after he passed away), it is still considered as the most powerful car ever designed and built with respect to time and technology. It's 12000 bhp output remains unrivaled even today !!!
You forgot to list your source.
Other first with the most powerful last.
The Daimler Bottle Car was one of five purchased by Worthington's Brewery in the early 1920s. The purchase price was £1,078. All five cars were fitted with heavy boiler plate ‘bottle' bodies weighing 2.3 tons.
Some interesting Top Fuel dragster facts:
One dragster's 500-inch Hemi makes more horsepower than the first 8 rows at Daytona.
Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1 1/2 gallons of nitro per second, the same rate of fuel consumption as a fully loaded 747 but with 4 times the energy volume.
The supercharger takes more power to drive then a stock hemi makes.
Even with nearly 3000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into nearly-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock.
Dual magnetos apply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder.
At stoichiometric (exact) 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture (for nitro), the flame
front of nitro methane measures 7050 degrees F.
Nitro methane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases.
Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After 1/2 way, the engine is dieseling from compression-plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1400 degrees F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting of it's fuel flow.
If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in those cylinders and then explodes with a force that can blow cylinder heads off the block in pieces or blow the block in half.
Dragsters twist the crank (torsionally) so far (20 degrees in the big end of the track) that sometimes cam lobes are ground offset from front to rear to re-phase the valve timing somewhere closer to synchronization with the pistons.
To exceed 300mph in 4.5 seconds dragsters must accelerate at an average of over 4G's. But in reaching 200 mph well before 1/2 track, launch acceleration is closer to 8G's.
If all the equipment is paid off, the crew worked for free, and for once NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run costs $1000.00 per second.
Dragsters reach over 300 miles per hour before you have read this sentence.
