Cricketmon has a powerful automobile sector and, as allways we are looking for new areas to work in.
So we propose to make engines for tanks and planes at low prices to get our workers skilled in these areas
Orders are specified by you and we can agree a price upon order
Our products will be high quality and made quickly
TG me or post here

Well engines you say? This could be a good one. I need something to drive an 80 ton MBT 60 miles per hour and I need to get at least 2 mpg out of it or as close to that as possible. Is that going to be possible?
Layerteb, not possible.
50 ton Tanks cant go at that speed, not even my tanks :?
Well anyway, moving on. I make Hydrogen engines, so....

An M1 with the govenor at 70 tons does 42. Without the govenor it can reach 60. As far as 80 tons I don't expect my tank to weigh that much I'm just aiming high.
Still,, the M1A2's engine gets so hot it cant have infantary support, and if the crew touch the wrong part of bare metal they can get surface burns :lol:

We can try we could get it to go up to atlest 45 mph with govenor
I'll get in touch with some engineers and we'll see what they can do

they say they could get it up to 53 MPH
Yay or nay ?

53 is close enough for me. Yeah with the M1 engines, is there a way to keep them cool?

yeh, It involves a sophisticated water cooling system though, it wont make a performance diufference but the price will be higher

There is a simple answer....
Use hydrogen! It exhausts water for cooling, and si a very, very cool engine, due to no real moving parts.

Thank you Kazakhstania
Our scientists will research it shortly

Is hydrogen modern tech? (i.e. under 2010) Generally I'm 2005 so.

No
We can now start producing your engines
Hydrogen powered Or Very powerful with water cooling
Your choice they will be about a similar price unless you wan them mass produced ( 250 or more ) and then the water cooled will be cheaper
Layarteb

Water cooling would have to be it. I am curious what the weight increase is with the water cooling system?

OOC:
Well a variety of lubricants and adhesives can be made from further refining of polyethylene, much like the amidoxime fanction my country developed for seawater uranium extraction, by controlling the variables of the fractional distillation and treatment of the fractions. You can probably produce a powerful enough lubricant to minimize friction and thus, heat.
This is definately modern technology, as it is already applied, though it is expensive. After all, you are using fossil fuels for research and production of the fraction lubricant.

water cooling will add some weight but it will not affect performance
It might infact help as the engine wont overheat so much
How many do you want ?

Also what's the price of the two variants? I can prob. use the hydrogen one for scientific purposes now that I think about it.
Cricketmon
11-01-2004, 12:04
hydrogen will be about 5,000,000 per engine
water cooled will be 4,500,000 per engine
Layarteb

hydrogen will be about 5,000,000 per engine
water cooled will be 4,500,000 per engine
150 Hydrogen: $750M
150 Water: $675M
Total: $1.425B

confirmed
we will start building them now
should be ready in 6 months

That's good for me. Pleasure doing business.
BTW what's the HP rating?
Cricketmon
11-01-2004, 12:16
i dunno lol, I'm just a negotiator , not an engineer
They are what you need and will serve you well ;)

Anyone need some old aircraft engines? A few of our aircraft went out service recently and we have some Rolls-Royce and Bristol engines lying around. HP's range from 750-1,470. First come first served.

LOL! Okay RGRT. Thinking maybe they could work in a small coastal PB as well.
Cricketmon

if you are refering to my engines they can be fitted in boats land viechels(sp) etc.
we can also do them for planes if you need em'
Layarteb

Standard'll do. I can convert and such as I see fit. Possibly with my own coastal patrol boat that is non-export I'll use them in (whatever I don't use in the few MBTs).
Cricketmon
11-01-2004, 14:22
how many ?
Layarteb
11-01-2004, 14:23
None more I'll stick to the same order.
Cricketmon
11-01-2004, 14:24
ok
confirmed
