            • Know How... 146: Scramjet, Fast DIY USB Drive, and Crash Kit

              Scramjets goes hyper-freakin' sonic, SSD madness, build your own blazing fast SSD USB Drive, CNC Router, and what to do after you crash your quad.

              Hyper-Freakin' Sonic!

            • We know that the US Military-Industrial Complex has been working on Hypersonic flight for a while. (Hypersonic = Speeds above Mach5)
            • Well, now we've got DARPA and the Military saying that we might have Hypersonic craft for the delivery of sensors, cargo, weapons and even people by 2023.
            • We've had a few test flights of varying complexity and success, but none of then have really indicated that Hypersonic flight is ready for prime-time

              • The Nasa X-43A, currently the fastest aircraft on record, was able to hit 10,617MPH

            • But it only hit that top speed for a few seconds
            • And it required a carrier aircraft and a rocket booster to get up to the speed that it's scramjet engine would work.

              • Let's talk about the Scramjet!

            • The Scramjet is an air-breathing engine
            • This is important, because unlike a rocket, it doesn't have to carry it's own oxidizer. It only carries it's fuel and depends on the atmosphere to give it oxygen to burn that fuel.
            • A scramjet has no moving parts... unlike an traditional turbine engine that you might find on a passenger aircraft
            • In that traditional turbine engine, A set of blades compresses air at the front of the engine and pushes that high-pressure air through the chamber
            • Fuel is added to the high-pressure air and ignited
            • The air is now hot and even higher-pressure
            • That air turns a series of turbines that provides power to the compressor blades at the front of the engine while also providing thrust out the back of the engine
            • Normal turbine engines have difficulty working above speeds of Mach 2

              • In a scramjet, the engine is moving through the air at supersonic speeds, which means the air will move through the engine at supersonic speeds.

            • You have a structure inside the scramjet that compresses that supersonic air, which will greatly increase it's temperature, then injects fuel.
            • The fuel will burn, creating even hotter gasses that exit out the back, providing thrust.

              • This process is incredibly complicated because it:

            • Requires that the engine is already moving at supersonic speeds
            • Needs the proper shaping of the air coming into the engine at supersonic speeds.
            • Needs to keep the fire lit in a supersonic windstorm

              • Product Preview

              Kinston HyperX Savage

            • This is the refresh of the Kingston KC300 SSD line that I like so much
            • 560MB/s read 530MB/s write
            • Comes with a USB 3.0 Enclosure
            • We'll be using three of these drives in an upcoming upgrade episode

              • But hey... there's a problem!

            • SATA Revision 3 is limited to 6GB/s -- which, once you consider encoding/unencoding, translated into about 600MB/s.
            • So most high-end SATA 3 SSDs are right at the edge of the bus' capacity.

              • Kingston HyperX Predator

            • This uses a M.2 card on a 4-Lane PCI-Express card
            • 1400MB/s Read // 1000MB/s Write
            • And we can get faster!
            • 2-lan gets us 1000MB/s, 4-lane gets us 2000MB/s, Gen3 gets us 4000MB/s

              • Now... let's get cooking on our super-fast USB 3.0 Drive!

              The Control:

            • We're looking for something in the 256GB range
            • You could get an inexpensive USB 3.0 flash drive like the PNY Turbo 256 (~ $83)
            • You'll probably see 100-150MB/s read // 20MB/s write
            • You could get something ULTRA fast, like the Patriot 256GB
