Nitro tulevik.
Nitro tulevik.
There has been much talk recently about the short supply of nitro but it would appear the up coming Olympic Games in China will cause a price increase of between 15 & 20% in the retail price of model car fuel. The biggest reason for the increase is that the main factories supplying nitro to model fuel manufacturers have been closed for the duration of the games as the Chinese try to reduce air pollution levels to those set out by the International Olympic Committee.

Merlin Fuel have told us that since January there has been almost a 60% increase in the price of nitro and this combined with the bad supply is causing problems, in particular for smaller fuel manufacturers. Merlin who say they have large enough stock levels to maintain current fuel prices until October have had approaches from a number of European rival manufacturers looking for a supply of nitro.
The current short supply of nitro is not just effecting the rc market but also Drag Racing in the US with the governing body the NHRA impossing a ban on testing for nitro burning Top Fuel cars. A number teams are also being forced to use alcohol to warm-up engines in an attempt to preserve Nitro stocks. The following youtube video gives an good insight to the problems currently being faced by the NHRA.
EFRA are aware of the issues regarding nitro and are already working towards reducing the levels of nitro used by each category of gas racing. A proposal to reduce the maximum permitted nitro level for each class is currently under discussion by EFRAs technical committee for both the reasons of cost and to help reduce engine power. Sander de Graaf, the 1:8 Onroad Section Representative for EFRA, told us that the use of alternative bio fuels for the sport is being discussed.

Tohohh kütuse kriis ja hind nüüd mudel autode maailma tunginud
Väga hea kui leitakse mõni alternatiiv kütus
Ja arvan samas valguses võib eeldada et EFRA võib lähitulevikus ka legaliseerida 1/8 skaala elektri.
Njah järgmine aasta ma viskan nitro täielikult minema, ei viitsi ma sellega rohkem jamada puhtam ja tervislikum tunne on liikuda elektri jõul

Enam pole liiga vara üle minna brushless-poweri peale OS-il on juba biokütuse mootorid väljas (lennukitele). Võibolla praeguse olukorra jätkuks tehakse ka autodele nitromootoreid, mis madalama nitrosisaldusega hästi toimivad. 5% nitrosisaldus peaks täiesti ok olema.

saapakeerutajad sõidavad ilma nitrota 300 + km/h, asi siis meil sama teha ei ole.

Nitro puudumine kütuses teeb minuteada mootori raskemini häälestatavaks ehk ta on tundlikum näiteks ilma muutuste osas. Vähemalt lennukimootorite juures on öeldud, et 5% nitro aitab juba väga palju ning teeb mootori seadistamise kergemaks - mina täitsa usun seda! 25-33% nitro kasutamisest pole ma tänaseni aru saanud, et miks seda niiväga teha vaja on, aga kuni on lubatud ja teised teevad, käin sama rada, muidu hävin võimsuses

Kogu see öko jutt nitro teemal on täielik jama. Need saaste kogused on kõikide RC-de peale kokku ju täiesti marginaalsed. Motospordis võiks ikka kihutamisega tegeleda, mitte koguaeg võimsusi piirata jne. Ma arvan, et top fuel dragsterid tõmbavad publikut just selle brutaalse jõu ja hääle tõttu mis neil on. Kes see ikka "sosistavaid" sportautosid vaatada tahab
Mitte nitro lõpptarbija ei saasta, vaid nitro tootmine. Air pollution levels millest räägitakse on Olümpia komitee poolt ettepandud norm, mida üritatakse täita, peatades saastavamad tööstused pekingi lähistel olümpiamängude ajaks. Meie õnnetuseks on see, et nitrot RC tarvis toodetakse ainult Hiinas (USA's ka, aga alla oma tarbimise)

Pealegi, ega nitrometaani rc-mudelistide jaoks ei toodeta. Julgen arvata, et rc-kütuseks minev nitro osa kogu toodangust on väääääääääääga väike. Hetkel oleme lihtsalt ühed väikesed kannatajad.
