Think logically for a second. If I was a fraud, I would cut any ties that would lead /sci/ to my IRL identity. I would think about how to get as much as possible without revealing as little in return. There is no reasoning you can give for sharing my Twitter handle, assuming I'm a fraud.
An anon asked for it, and I shared. That's it.

Before posting the Twitter handle, I actually thought about someone like you would bring up the ITU subject, but I didn't imagine it would drag for so long.

>What you're trying to do is essentially fraud
A fraud involves getting something and not giving in return. So far I have given 3 /sci/ members an opportunity to present to SpaceX. I didn't want to say this, but read my teammate's post, I've been carrying the team on my shoulders. I could have simply fucked off, instead I came back every time trying to get the community involved in this. I have been contributing to /sci/ a lot more than you imagine.
And what exactly am I demanding from /sci/ that makes me a fraud? Representation of them? And who are you to think you are representing the rest of the board? As far as I am concerned you are being destructive, you are not entitled to think your opinion represents anyone else, and you are shitting up the thread thinking how we are doing /sci/ harm, while we are giving them a community project to brainstorm, argue and spend their time on at the very least. I've said troll because your initial replies made me think so, now I think otherwise.

For the investors part, it won't happen if I don't bring up 4chan vs Reddit and convince them of the publicity it will bring. To be able to do that, I have to have my worth proven to them already so they would think I know what I am doing.

>Except making threads apparently.
Check the archives.

>Listen to what your saying here. The team has changed it's a different group of people now you guys have developed your own culture and values. Why involve /sci/ at all at this point?
Because I'm trying dammit! I'm coming back here every single time hoping to get new members. It didn't work until now, which lead to the breaking down of our initial /sci/ team. Now that we are getting a glimpse of success anons are getting interested again and we may still turn the team around.

We have set up a team that will do the CFD simulations, but there are more detailed design problems such as the interior flow channels, or CFD simulations of fans and compressors. Basically someone with experience to provide guidance next to our PhD student Aero lead would be nice.

>> No.7695233 [View]

to further clarify before the troll strikes again:

Why do you guys think a malaysian knitting forum with 2 million unique posters per month is having trouble getting advertisements?

4chan has a bad reputation. this is no secret, everyone knows this. We are not trying to hide our connection, there were ones as my teammate said who wanted nothing to do with 4chan, but we already are giving a nod to /sci/ in our names.

Any attempt at bringing 4chan up will be met with skepticism because this site is known for trolling, racist humor, fappening and memes. At this point I can't force a team that does not browse 4chan in majority to get under its collective identity. If association with 4chan needs to be done, I will do it personally and keep the rest of the team out of this. I have no right for that.

We are not shying from the challenge of having 4chan accepted in the competition. But for that, we need to accomplish something ourselves, for instance advancing to the construction stage with our sponsors set - sponsors who wouldn't have a reason to shy away from us, thinking whether their reputation would be stained from a 4chan connection. Only then we can prove to people, that 4chan is something beyond the trolling and snarky comments, that something constructive comes out of there when conditions are set. However, we are currently trying to get a better grasp onto the competition, trying to get everything clicking. The time is not right for dealing with that yet.

as my fellow teammate well explained, we tried every single possible way to salvage the team. i've even sent an email to the original team members after the preliminary submission acceptance, to see if the newfound success could get them motivated. Only one was bothered to reply, asking to be excused due to his heavy workload elsewhere.

>Sci writes in capitals in the Team Name

I will boast about 4chan when we secure our sponsors, because a 4chan vs Reddit showdown only brings more publicity to the project. At this point it is only detrimental, but I don't expect you to understand.

You are welcome to leave the thread if you think this is a scam though. I'm done replying to you

There is a simple explanation for that:

The project started off /sci/, we had 20 members at one point, but it got stuck as every project does on 4chan, people lost their motivation and started leaving one by one.

Me and three other members (they are not Turks) decided to keep going at it, I've pulled strings at my University and now we are a team again, but with 75% of team members from ITU, admittedly non-channers, along with mandatory faculty and external advisors. SpaceX prioritizes students teams so we asked the non-ITU members and they gave the green light to apply as ITU team.

You might not be aware that this project needs serious sponsorhip, excluding travel costs, around $100k. For that money to be raised, we need to raise awareness to our cause. No one's going to sponsor a 4chan team, but we have something going here. In 2 days, from zero we've collected 200 followers - no bots, and both yesterday and today we're having media interviews.

I could have simply pulled the /sci/ handle from the team name and moved on with ITU but I am willing to give back to the community something to cheer and be engaged about for helping me start all this.

>I think you misread it. They aren't limiting the pod itself to M0.65; just the diffused flow at the compressor face
You're right, I need to reread that paper. I do so much reading it all gets blurry after a while.

>But while looking at this, I think I may have come up with an idea which allows the same benefits without increasing the tube diameter. It would seem to me that the compressor-to-tube ratio is itself quite burdensome, but perhaps if you do it one bite at a time - that is, have a handful of smaller inlets and compressors lain out in tandem - you could overcome this issue. Does that make any sense? Maybe I can put pen to paper tomorrow and straighten it out if I'm not clear enough.

I kinda get it, but compressors are not my field to be honest. If you could write it in length, that would be great as I can take it to the guys who are in charge of this.

>I see... all the more reason to try and make NASA's changes work in the original 2.2m tube.

>What is it that needs to be done in the navigation area?
to quote:
4. Which sensors, if any, should be incorporated into the tube to aid navigation? How should the pod maintain accurate navigation knowledge within the tube?

7 NAVIGATION AIDS
Every 100 feet, a 2-inch wide reflective circumferential stripe will be applied to the inner circumference of the tube. The stripes will be located on the upper 180° of the tube (“9 PM to 3 PM”). The stripe material will consist of Reflective Tape in Fluorescent Red-Orange Color (P/N 75050060534).
At 1,000 feet from the end of the tube, the upper 180° of the tube will be split into two 90° sections. The right side of the tube will continue to use the same Fluorescent Red-Orange tape. The left side of the tube will use Reflective Fluorescent Lime-Yellow tape (P/N 75050060518) for the remainder of the tube. The pattern on both sides of the tube will be the same, color will be the only difference.
At 1,000 feet, a pattern of twenty 2-inch wide stripes separated by 2-inch “blank sections” of the underlying steel tube will be applied as a “1,000 feet left” marker for the Pods. The entire installation is thus 78 inches long.
Similarly, at 500 feet from the end of the tube, a pattern of ten 2-inch wide stripes separated by 2-inch “blank sections” of the underlying steel tube will be applied as a “500 feet left” marker for the Pods. The entire installation is thus 38 inches long.
The entire interior of tube will be illuminated throughout at standard room levels using standard “white” floodlighting from directly above the track. Based on Design Weekend feedback, it is possible that this is changed to narrow-band illumination. Soon after Design Weekend, full lighting specifications (and reflectivity data for the steel) will be released.
See pic related for depiction of optical markings.

Basically detecting markings with an LED photodiode and microcontroller and adjusting Pod speed accordingly.

>>7690330
i'd advise you to take a look at the NASA paper on Hyperloop, it's greatly informative on what you've mentioned
https://mdao.grc.nasa.gov/publications/AIAA-2015-1587.pdf

Basically NASA limits the Hyperloop to 0.65 Mach max speed while doubling the tube diameter to mitigate the shock waves. Although the feasability of that is up in the air, while the travel time for a distance of 350 miles is only affected by 5 minutes.

I've noted what you've suggested about the rarified vapor, but at this stage it's really up to SpaceX as they're providing the tube we'll be competing in. But in the future that will be in the back of my head

i'd also
