                      Super Sonic Car, tuning network cameras, and upgrading a KK flight controller.

                      The Bloodhound SSC (Super Sonic Car)

                    • Back in 1997, the "ThrustSSC", run by a British team, broke the sound barrier and his 763 MPH
                    • Now another British team has built the "Bloodhound SSC" which they say will hit 1000mph in 2016!

                      • Just to get a car up to 1000mph is an incredible engineering feet, but to keep it SAFELY at 1000mph for the two-way journey required to set the land-speed record is UNBELIEVABLY difficult.

                    • The Wheels need to rotate at more than 10,000 rpm, so they're built out of solid aluminum
                    • It uses THREE engines!
                    • It has a 5-liter 800hp V8 engine that ONLY pressurizes high-test peroxide fuel to the Rocket engine
                    • It has the Rolls-Royce EJ200 that's normally found in a Typhoon fighter. It can generate 20,000 pounds of thrust
                    • At higher speeds, the jet engine isn't efficient, so they also have THREE rocket engines, each producing 27,500 lbs of thrust.
                    • It has a specially designed air-intake for the jet engine in order to slow the air down from 1000mph to 400mph to feed the Jet engine.
                    • It has a computer-controlled set of wings that make the Bloodhound SSC lift-neutral, keeping her 3.1 inches above the ground.
                    • It has THREE braking systems!
                    • The aerodynamics of the car itself become a brake: When they cut the engine at 1000mph, those aerodynamics will generate 3g of breaking
                    • Air brakes are deployed at 700mph 3. Hydraulic brakes are used below 200mph
                    • Unlike the ThrustSSC, which was rear-wheel steering, BloodhoundSSC is front-wheel steering, which will make it horribly touchy at speeds.
                    • They're doing a 200mph test run this summer
                    • A 800mph later this year that should break the ThrustSSC record
                    • A 1000mph run in 2016
                    • All driving is to happen at the "Hakseen Pan" -- (Salt Flat in South Africa) -- Same pilot as the one who drove ThrustSSC (RAF Wing Commander Andy Green)

                      • These are the steps that Padre takes when he deploys network cameras:

                    • Gather Network Information
                    • We need a few pieces of information from your router: -- Default Gateway (Router's Address) -- Subnet Mask It's easy to get this information if you have a computer connected to the router. If you're using Windows, just drop into a command shell and type, "ipconfig" In our case, the default gateway is 192.168.150.1 and our subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
                    • This means that it will send all requests for off-segment access (i.e. the Internet) to the gateway
                    • It also means that and device with this data will know that there are 255 usable IP addresses in its network segment (256-1)
                    • Configure the Router
                    • We want to define the range that the DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) server built into the router can use when assigning addresses to devices that request a DHCP address.
                    • Login to your router
                    • Find the settings for the Network Setup
                    • Look for the settings for the DHCP server
                    • Look for the starting address and the maximum number of DHCP clients -- This is what determines where in the 254 addresses availible to the router (255-1) the DHCP server will start serving out addresses. -- It also determines how many addresses it will hand out. (It's consective)
                    • For example: If I set a start address of "192.168.150.50" and allow for 50 DHCP users, it will allocate all the addresses between 192.168.150.50 and
