Depression sets in fast.
When you doubt yourself
It takes years to build a bridge
Yet so easy to destruct one.

I broke the rule of talking too much yet again. Too easily hyper is my main flaw. All the while I felt that I should listen and I did too little of it. Maybe I just care far too much abt how ppl think of me. Or maybe I really ought to change.

Just finished researching on propulsion system of airplanes and roller coaster. Loads to put into logbook. Got to design a runway propulsion system for aircraft to reduce required takeoff distance. I was thinking that roller coaster propulsion engine could be of great help since it can propel large loads at great speed. All these mainly using the hydraulic system.

I just decided my topic on the indivdual project for Art of War: The nine types of terrain. Maybe I will post it when I finished.

Catapult Launch
In some newer coaster designs, the train is set in motion by a catapult launch. There are several sorts of catapult launches, but they all do basically the same thing. Instead of dragging the train up a hill to build up potential energy, these systems start the train off by building up a good amount of kinetic energy in a short amount of time.

One popular catapult systems is the linear-induction motors. A linear-induction motor uses electromagnets to build two magnetic fields -- one on the track and one on the bottom of the train -- that are attracted to each other. The motor moves the magnetic field on the track, pulling the train along behind it at a high rate of speed. The main advantages of this system are its speed, efficiency, durability, precision and controllability.

I wrote so much cos KY say I wrote too little. haha...
