When my buddy Chris asked me if I would be interested in making a video abouot a Tractor Pull he was trying to organize, I had no idea what I was getting into. There's a ton of physics going on in this sport! Not just physics... mechanics, thermodynamics, dynamics, whatever you call soil science. I never knew how complicated the sled was! The Moulton Tractor Pull far exceeded my expectations! I think you'll enjoy one if you can go!

Vor year
@boostaddict_
@boostaddict_

A dry block basically just means it doesn't have any passages for coolant to flow through like a normal engine would. Makes the block thicker so it's less likely to fail, but useless for anything other than this or drag racing since it gets too hot fast. Water injection and turbocharging and fuel injection are really cool though, I'm a mechanical engineering student focusing on automotive and I'm a bit of a diesel nerd lol.

There are subtle cultural biases that impact many of us, especially our young people, in subtle ways. In media and conversation, an all too common tool to portray a character as stupid or ignorant is to give them a thick Southern accent. This is not just morally wrong, but just incorrect. We bring up some of the most intelligent, practical, productive people in the world. Thanks for shining a light on our worthy sons and daughters.

He made sure the young boy looked him in the eye and shook his hand. That speaks volumes to the values that he instills and wants his own children to learn and practice. GOD bless you Dustin.

Wow, there’s so much to unpack here. Like a lot of other commenters, I’m from the South, and I grew up going to tractor pulls, mud bogs, and demolition derbies. I always appreciated the technical aspect of the machines, but never gave much thought to the physics behind the pull sled. It’s fascinating; thank you for really getting into the guts of what’s behind the scenes. What’s also fascinating is just how much fuel is consumed during one of these events, beyond the obvious usage of the competitors. The cost involved to relocate and groom the track, to transport heavy equipment, to transport the tractors to the event, etc…..it’s astonishing to think about how much money is being spent to do this. And yet it’s still a tiny niche in the world of motor sports. I grew up as just a good ol’ boy from the mountains, I got myself a good career in woodworking, and I can’t ever imagine having the kind of money to play at stuff like this. With all due respect to people’s passions, I don’t really have the innocent enthusiasm for this stuff like I did when I was a kid. It seems wildly indulgent and wasteful, even for as much fun as it obviously is. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk lol.

@@farLander1 There are certain words that I'll say, that you can pick up that I'm probably from the south. Everyone in my family is from Pittsburgh except for me, I was born in Georgia. I think that gave me a more neutral accent and most of my classmates in engineering school didn't have accents either. When I would go down to the hunting camp though, my accent would just naturally change to sounding a little more like the good Ole boys down there.
