The sound of the gas turbine sounds completely different from the diesel engine that uses a high-pressure oil pump and oil pump. It is somewhat like standing in front of a helicopter plane, and it is like a whistle of a turbocharger, but the sound needs to be increased.
It has caused a lot of pain in the eardrum.
However, just like those motorcycles that like to explode the street, in the eyes of those riders, this feeling is so handsome, that is, this kind of eye-catching feeling. Derek also felt this way at this time. He listened
The whistling of the turbine engine said to everyone: "This is the most powerful power system in the world. Now, let everyone see the wonderful performance of our M1 tank."
The M1 tank is the world's first tank to use a gas turbine. One of the huge benefits this tank brings after using a gas turbine is its high maneuverability.
That's right, although like the Leopard-2, it uses a diesel engine of 1,500 horsepower, but when comparing diesel engines, you cannot simply compare the power data, you also need to compare the torque and transmission.
In this regard, gas turbines have a inherent advantage in system matching: high speed!
The gas turbine can often rotate at tens of thousands of revolutions, and at low speeds, it can be maintained even hundreds of revolutions, which has a very wide speed output range. What are the benefits of this? Of course, it is to speed up rapidly.
It's right.
Just like a car racing, you can often see gasoline cars shift gears on the red line and accelerate rapidly in the roar of the engine.
However, diesel cars don’t have this benefit. Why? Because diesel cars have low speed.
The lowest speed is several hundred rpm, but at high speed, the diesel engine only has more than two thousand rpm, which means that when the diesel car starts, it must switch gears frequently. When the gasoline car has only five or six gears.
At that time, the diesel car had a first, or even more gears, just to take care of the defects of the low speed of the diesel car and prevent dragging.
This is even somewhat similar to electric cars. Most electric cars do not have gear levers because they do not need to shift gears at all and the speed range is very large.
Of course, in order to give the tank higher performance, it still has an automatic transmission and has four forward gears. At this time, when the test run finally began, the driver James in front stepped on the accelerator with one kick.
At the end, the 55-ton tank made a beautiful start-up action in front of everyone.
The whole action is smooth and smooth, making people impeccable. If you calculate it, you can divide 1,500 horsepower by 55 tons of full weight to get about 27 tons of power, and this is done with the full weight of combat.
As for the tank in front of you, this value has reached about thirty.
This power is beyond the reach of all tanks in the world. At this moment, in front of everyone, the gas turbine of the M1 tank was emitting black smoke and rushed out quickly. When it was started, the roar of the gas turbine suddenly came out.
It's so small, this is the engine speed reduction caused by the moment the torque converter is turned on. However, no one cares. Even if the gas turbine is held for hundreds of times, it will not stop. With this powerful power
The system, it roared out, and the whole process was so enviable that it drooled.
"This acceleration is probably within ten seconds." Mahmoud said.
As the most experienced tank soldier officer, Mahmoud knew what the meaning of this action was. In a tank battle, when he found that the opponent was aiming at him or even found that the opponent's tank gun was about to open fire, his own tank could quickly
Start and move out. In principle, as long as you walk half of the chariot captain when the opponent's shell flies over, you can greatly reduce the probability of being hit.
This is a theoretical basis for tanks to pay attention to speed-up ability.
Hearing Mahmoud’s question, Derek said proudly: “Ten seconds? We were able to run within six seconds in the test, which means it only took about five seconds.”
The speed-up ability of zero to 32 kilometers per hour takes seven seconds even for Leopard-2, while this M1 tank can be completed in only about five seconds!
Of course, only the earliest models can be completed, especially the test sample car in front of me. Later, it was replaced with Chobam armor and depleted uranium armor, which was heavier every time, and finally reached about 65 tons.
At this time, it is naturally impossible to have the original acceleration performance.
Now, this performance is over the world, and Derek is very proud.
Our gas turbines have many disadvantages, the purchase price is high, and it is not convenient to use diesel. However, compared with those shortcomings, the advantages it brings are enough to smooth out.
This is the most advanced tank engine, which makes the steel monster like a tank step forward!
The tank is still accelerating, and you can see the black smoke from the engine suddenly disappear and suddenly rise again. It is it switching gears. Every time you switch gears, it will bring different changes in the load, and when it finally, it
When it reached the highest speed, only black smoke was left in front of everyone.
"Now, it is performing maximum speed display, and our tank can reach more than 70 kilometers per hour," Derek said.
Due to the limitation of tracks, no tank can run up to 100 kilometers per hour, while 70 kilometers per hour is already a very amazing existence. Take Lao Ba's 59 tank for example, only 50 kilometers per hour.
The maximum speed of an hour is just before the tank engine was worn. Under normal circumstances, it can only run thirty or forty. Now, the maximum speed of the tank is almost twice that of the 59 tank.
"Okay, now show you the ability to shoot while marching," Derek said.
This time, it is to attract attention. The most powerful thing about the M1 tank is not its gas turbine, but the powerful combat power brought by the precision fire control system. So what about the small gun barrel? Its fire control system is high
The accuracy is enough to make it look down on the whole world.
The old 59 tank has no ability to shoot while marching. If you look at its exercise, you will rumble for a while, then stop, and after stopping, you will shoot a shot and then move forward.
In this way, when you stop, you are also easily attacked by the opponent. Only by firing while you are marching can you protect your safety to the greatest extent.
Of course, this requires the precise cooperation of the fire control system!
Inside the wide turret of the M1 tank, the gunner Beta is quickly aiming at the target.
