Since Qin Baoshan came here, he has always been respected and solved many problems. Those people are grateful to him. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation. Faced with such doubts, Qin Baoshan is naturally unceremonious. He said to the other party: "I don't know this tank, but I know what kind of tank fighters need. They definitely don't like to stay in a tank that can be hit by a dozen, like a Ronson lighter."
What Qin Baoshan said is the truth, this kind of tank is easy to hit, and no tanker likes to stay in such a tank.
Hearing what Qin Baoshan said, the man was obviously even more excited: "What tank can't be hit? Even if it uses a diesel engine, so what? There are ammunition everywhere in the tank. As long as it is hit, it will definitely explode."
What this person said is indeed true. Even a tank with a diesel engine still has ammunition in it. But this is just one case to consider. Ammunition explosion is ammunition explosion, gasoline burning is gasoline burning, these are two different things.
If there is no combustion effect, at least the driver in front can still climb out and run away. This is the case with many tanks. After being hit, several people inside the turret were killed, and the driver and radio operator in front climbed out. But now it is like this, once it is hit, it will ignite a fire, wrapping the entire tank, and the people in front have no chance to escape.
At this time, when the other party mentioned this reason, Qin Baoshan shook his head helplessly. Designers in this era really don't have a long-term vision. They even come to quarrel with themselves over this matter. But since the other party has said this, Qin Baoshan has to introduce it to the other party to let the other party know that there are still some new ideas in the field of tank design.
"If there are only bombs in it, then we can take some measures to increase the chances of tankers surviving." Qin Baoshan said: "For example, we can add a set of fire-fighting equipment inside the tank, fully automatic control, as long as a spark is found, immediately It will be activated. This system can be called a fire suppression and explosion suppression system. As long as there is no fire inside, it will not explode."
The ammunition of the tank exploded, it didn't explode all at once, but there was a process. Whether it's the propellant or the explosives inside the warhead. Directly use an open flame to ignite, and it cannot be ignited at once, but a reaction that occurs after a process. If such a system is added. After the flame appears, extinguish the flame immediately to prevent the flame from expanding, so it is possible to reduce the chance of the ammunition dying.
Of course, even in later generations, all kinds of tanks have fire suppression and explosion suppression systems, and there are still cases of explosions. Qin Baoshan didn't know how effective this system was. But it's enough to fool people, isn't this guy unconvinced? Qin Baoshan threw out some advanced theories to convince the opponent.
After talking about this, Qin Baoshan continued: "At the same time, when we install the ammunition inside the tank, we can also do something. For example, we can put part of the ammunition behind the turret. Add a tail bin at the tail of the turret. There is a A partition with a pressure relief port on the outside. In this way, once this part of the explosive ammunition explodes, it will directly let them release the energy of the explosion to the outside.¡±
These are the two ideas commonly used by tanks of later generations, one is the fire suppression and explosion suppression system, and the other is the tail bin turret. Qin Baoshan doesn't know how the actual effect is, but it is definitely something on the tall side.
Sure enough, when Qin Baoshan said these things, the American immediately lost his arrogance just now. As a tank designer, this person obviously understood the meaning of these things Qin Baoshan said. On the one hand, the appearance of a flame is immediately extinguished. On the other hand, a part of the shells is transferred to the tail of the turret. In this way, the two-pronged approach can greatly reduce the probability of dying after being shot.
The other party's expression said everything, and Qin Baoshan was very satisfied. He went on to say to the other party: "If the gasoline engine is not used, then the tanker has a better chance of survival. Do you think what I say makes sense?"
Lieutenant Colonel William looked at all this in surprise. Of course he knew that the tank designer Karl beside him was a very stubborn person. Karl rarely listens to other people's opinions. Just now, when Carl and Qin Baoshan had a conflict, Lieutenant Colonel William was a little scared, for fear that the two would cause a big fight, but now Carl actually listened to what Qin Baoshan said. And now that Qin Baoshan asked such a question, Karl actually nodded.
This makes him very strange that this kind of situation still occurs. At the same time, he admired Qin Baoshan even more. He really didn't expect that this person was so powerful that even Karl was impressed by him.
Karl is a stubborn designer, but at the same time he can know whether a design is good or bad. Many times,?Persistence is because he thinks he is right, but now when he heard Qin Baoshan utter those theories, he was immediately shocked.
Of course he knew how useful a tank would be if it could reduce the chance of being killed. In the past, it just didn't have this ability. But now Qin Baoshan has provided him with a plan, and he also said two. More importantly, these are also possible.
For Karl, a brand new door has been opened, and tanks can actually improve their survivability in this way. Even if it is hit, it can reduce the chance of being martyred, instead of smashing the cans like before. Anyway, if you hit it, you will die, and the gasoline engine doesn't matter.
If this is the case, then it is not suitable to use a gasoline engine, but if it is a diesel engine, what kind of diesel engine should be used?
Karl knows that there are not many suitable diesel engines in their country, so the Sherman tank directly uses an aero engine, and it is not water-cooled, but a star-shaped air-cooled gasoline engine. This kind of engine is used in tanks, which is simply unique. But the engine didn't overheat, and it actually worked just fine.
As for diesels, they currently only have one option. Earlier, the Americans designed the gm 6-71 two-stroke water-cooled diesel engine for buses. Later, in order to improve the power system, they combined two gm 6-71 engines to become a gm 6046 engine. Even so, they could only output 375 horsepower.
The original gasoline engine was 500 horsepower, but now a diesel engine with less than 400 horsepower is obviously insufficient. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
