" http://www.edmunds.com/insidel... Test: 2009 Porsche 911 Engine Oil Sump Test Rig Location: Porsche Research and Development Center, Weissach, Germany. The 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S mark the debut of Porsche's latest flat-six engine architecture. During the development of its next-generation of engines, Porsche created a test rig to evaluate oiling system enhancements. This rig replicates the g-forces experienced by a 911 on the Nurburgring Nordschliefe circuit. "

always remember what the physicists Harvey Goldberger said-- "The unit of one is equal to the inverted likeness of itself" that should explain it all.

Back to first grade physics for you...

what ever... believe what you want to believe :-)

Centripetal force is what moves the oil under cornering on track and a small component of gravity. On the rig those forces are provided by gravity and the engine is angled to provide the correct application of gravitation pull on the oil. Gravity is 1g therefore the rig cannot simulated more than 1g of force on the oil.

yes,I agree.
netmaster78 on October 3, 2008 at 6:04 pm
if it could only simulate 1g, why can it swivel even more than 45°? it´s official swivel angle is +/-65° lateral and longitudinal. if the oillevel swivels 45° into any direction refered to horizontal level, the rig simulates 1g. if the oillevel is 65°, the lateral or long. force MUST be bigger than 1g, in a real car. so thats what the rig can simulate.

We're both right... You're talking about forces in the car on the road. I'm talking about forces they can simulate on the rig. The rig is only able to simulate 1g as its only gravity providing the movement in the oil...

netmaster is exactly righ: when the car is moving,you have gravity AND lateral forces (on bends),so if you assume a lateral force of 1G at 90°(horizontal),and you sum it with the gravity,you get a total force of 1,41G at 45°.

Banked circuit?
rigse3d on October 2, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Yup. 90 degrees i.e. the rig facing straight down would be 1g as gravity is obviously 1g. The rig uses gravity only to provide the simulating forces so is limited to 1g for continuous effects.
