Porsche crash analysis : i noticed an issue with this Carrera after hearing about this tragedy and digging into what was going on a bit-- 

 here goes...

   i am hazarding a guess, that this model has an "x-frame", with a rear engine( the tail wags the dog on this thing), this, combined with the possibility of a "pilot-error"( of using only your toe to push the gas in a corner, specifically), can result in extreme "over-steer"( a "super-drift", after the driver steers to correct), landing the car in the "in-field"( essentially, the engine decelerates the drive-train instantly, "engine-breaking" only the rear wheels, causing them to break traction, in the corner, and the rear of the vehicle to "come-around",  creating severe "over-steer", at a really bad time)...i feel this may be why this super-car went off the black-top, into a pole, and then a tree( i would add, that if the pole was one treated with "creosote"...it was a veeerry strong pole), the serious issue of note, besides the horrible loss of life, is about physics...the dynamic is readily displayed, as the tree or pole encountered, becomes a "fulcrum point", acting like a pulley( in a kind-of "archimedes crash-dynamic"), the car is rear-heavy...meaning, at this vector, the rear of the car having the most weight, wants to keep going around the pole, on the rearward side of the hit...the car is made to absorb impact, and the center of the "x-chassis" is weak from the side, allowing the center of the car to "hinge-in-the-middle"...right in-between the points that hold the front seats to the floor, and the seat-belt mounting points...resulting in those points becoming "out-of-line", and the death of the occupants...as for the fire, after the rear of the car bent enough out-of-shape, on the drivers side( where i feel that the fuel line must have resided), the fuel hose( from the pump in the tank), located in the front of the car, where the battery is, must have pulled-away, and out-of the fuel pipe, at the engine-bay, that comes from the fuel tank, in front( with the ignition still on, the fuel pump would spray the engine-compartment with fuel, onto the hot engine, until the ignition key was turned off)--

    to test this "archimedes crash-dynamic" yourself, at home, place your finger flat on the edge of your kitchen table, parallel to the edge, then smack your finger with a "wooden coffee stir-stick"( with the middle of the stick)...the stick will not break, but, then tape a bunch of quarters to the end of the stick, and again hit your finger in the same place, with the modified stick...it will break, with about the same force felt against your finger, this displays the leverage "in-play", if a Carrera of this type encounters an object within "the-in-field", while racing...i will get-into what to do about this phenomenon within the next photo's captions...

best wishes, john kruschke--

Porsche crash analysis #2 conclusion : 

    to prevent the outer "longitudinals" of this vehicle from "wrapping-up" too much( around an object encountered from the side, that strikes towards the front of the car, where there is little weight, allowing the car's rearward weight to easily leverage the car into a "horse-shoe"), i believe that a cable could be installed, that runs through the frame, on each side, from the front of the frame to the rear, on the outer edges, with a rubber sheath, to keep it quiet, and having "guide channels" for it to pass through...i suggest that this would allow "collapsibility" during a frontal collision( as cables are flexible), but would not allow the chassis to deform into a "horse-shoe" shape, if a side collision occurs...most importantly, the mounting points for the front seats, and the seat-belt anchor-points, must not be compromised, to deal with this issue, i am guessing that a large steel plate is often welded to the floor, to bolster the anchor points, unfortunately, i believe that the forces are so great in this situation, that this may not be a viable solution...i feel that utilizing a 3/8-1/2 inch thick steel plate, is the answer, but, the plate should( in my opinion), be elevated a slight amount above the floor, at the mounting points, creating a situation similar to that used on bridges in icy waters( the "pylons" act like the hulls of ice-breaking ships, and shear the ice, at the base, where they contact the ice)...this solution would allow the rear points of the plate, that has the belt-anchors and the seat-mounts( located on the same plate), that is then bolted to the floor...to shear, or cut, through the floor, when it moves out of alignment, leaving the seat and the belt-anchors in perfect alignment, after the frame has bent...essentially, i feel that "full-welding" a plate to the floor offers too much influence on the seat-belt, and seat mounting points alignment, from chassis bending-- 

the fire--

    as for the fuel line pulling out of the tube, from the gas-tank in front( where it enters the engine bay, in the rear), a longer hose, that allows more travel of the engine, away from the bulk-head, or fuel pipe, may be a possible solution( flexible fuel-lines in the middle of the car, may also be of use, to deal with fire hazard from side impacts as well)...lastly, turning off the ignition switch after a crash is imperative, as it cuts any fuel-spray from the pump onto hot engine parts, after the crash-- 

   i feel that this analysis is a bit soon after this terrible crash, but the next Carrera of this model that crashes, may happen an hour from now...so, this issue is important, right now, and need not happen to another person, if corrected--

    i hope these concepts are forwarded to the good men at Porsche, in Stuttgart, right away...best wishes, john kruschke...

we all lost something here, these guys were cool--

Archimedes seat-mount-- 

    for the inspection of the folks at Porsche, in Stuttgart( i feel that the factory should proceed from here with this design, if anyone does...naturally, do not try this at home applies)--

  that said, i will describe the concept...here we see the seat elevated a small amount above the floor-pan( on "stilts", is my best description), due to the seat, and the seat-belts mounts, being on the same 1/4-1/2 inch steel plate, that is not "full-welded" to the floor, but is instead, mounted at four points to the floor, on pillars...in this way, the amount of bending the chassis can endure before the seat moves is enhanced, also, due to the seat-belt mounts not being attached directly to the chassis floor( as is the case in fighter-jet design), the seat, and seat-belt mounts, can not be influenced by chassis bending, unless the cabin is pressed in, all the way to the rear foot-wells, even then, the fact that the seat is on "stilts", will result in the seat twisting with the chassis, while the vehicle's seat-belt mounting points remain located in approximately the same factory locations, to provide the needed vector to the occupant's waist, maintaining good geometry( although they are not bolted directly to the floor), a simple "cantilever-stay", at the base of the plate, where the seat belt attaches, going from there, to the rear seat-mounts, keeps the plate from curling upwards, from frontal impact forces...the question for me, is about the ability of the factory to keep the seat from being ejected from the car, with the occupant in it...i believe they can, and if ejected, the injuries would likely be far less severe, for those involved in the collision( in my opinion)...testing will be needed if this concept is to be validated( i suggest that Porsche, or Nascar, are the best groups to pursue the development of this safety feature)...i really think this will solve the issue, after serious professionals "work-the-problem"--

 best wishes, john kruschke...

   --( the photo above shows the plate in 2-d, but if you visualize the plate not being welded to anything but the seat, and the seat's mounting pedestals, you can grasp the concept very well)--

   i have had "bio-mechanics" on the-brain, since the day before yesterday, and last night i had an "epiphany", about the heart, after i put my "two-cents in" about the subject, to a few coworkers...here is the stuff i had to say,  about the heart, and how i feel it works--

 
   i mentioned that i felt the cause of most heart issues is the restriction of the arteries in the body, causing the heart to work harder, to push the blood through the veins...i feel this is correct, and i believe this artery restriction results in the enlargement of the heart's chambers( they are stretched out from more pressure being against the heart's walls, on each pump, and in this way, flow is reduced even further, from lower pressure being delivered, due to larger chambers)...i could barely deliver my pizzas the rest of the night, and i was imagining the way the heart must pump, the whole time-- 

    the way i envisioned that a "bio-pump" would pump blood, is similar to the "low-pressure-to high-pressure situation" found in modern automotive air conditioning, the larger chamber pumps into the smaller chamber, which then pumps, and an even higher pressure is gained...displaying that a "staging area" between the two sizes of chamber, is best, to reduce the severity of the pressure increase, to the small chamber...i looked online after work, and what-do-you know, there is was...so, i suggest, that the larger right ventricle chamber, pumps low pressure, oxygenated blood, to the aorta( increasing the pressure there, to be sent on to other parts of the body, that utilize this pressure value, and then to the left ventricle, which draws this "staged-up" oxygenated blood, from the aorta, to the left ventricle, which then contracts, and sends blood out to the extremities, farthest away from the heart( as more pressure is needed to get it there)...meaning, that i feel the heart is a 3-stage "bio-pump", with two outputs of pressure, and a low-pressure input( the returning blood from the extremities, that mixes with the oxygenated blood that rises from the lungs, to the right ventricle-- 

    this would explain very well to me, the reason why when i have listened to my heart, that i have herd a "thumpa-thump", two little sounds, right after another...the right ventricle compressing, just before the left( that does the greatest amount of work)--

    in closing, at this time, i feel that unclogging the arteries is the best solution for heart issues, in most cases( essentially, we need to discover a way to dissolve the deposits in "hardened arteries", with something...i suggest possibly an amino-acid will work??, but, i will leave that to the medical community to sort out), unfortunately, if things are like they are for auto repairs...installing a new motor, into a chassis with a plugged catalytic converter, will result in another blown motor, in exactly the same manner...so, a heart transplant into a person with clogged veins, may ultimately result in another heart with enlarged chambers, that delivers poor blood flow?? instead, resecting the hearts chambers, to restore correct heart chamber size, may work best( the pressure on the seams of the surgery to correct, will be high...meaning, that a way to lower pressure, until the sutures heal, may be a huge puzzle for doctors to solve)--

more later, out of time at the library-- :o) i have forgone spell-checking, to save time, i hope this b.s. is of use, to chat with your physician about, and makes for a good conversation--

   i have a new phone, and the thing is not as obvious about how to send a photo to your e-mail, so i have had to use my facebook page, to send my hand-drawn diagrams, to myself, for posting content...what a drag, i will get another of my old phones soon....anyway, here goes( i am going to copy right from my facebook for today, since i am short on time)--

 Bio mechanics of stool impaction/stool retention & weight gain-- 

   my new phone is not obvious in regards to taking a photo and sending it to my e-mail, so i am posting it here...anyway, i had a thought that "stool-impaction" and weight-gain may be related, if the exit is "jammed up", it slows the whole system, creating a situation where the food we eat spends too much time in the tummy...also of note, i feel that the "flattening" of the colon, at it's bottom, may be a common thing found in those having weight issues( the little "hook" before descending, as well as the shape of the colon, are what i believe are critical)...the little "apex", and rise, are to control bowel speed to the "sigmoid colon", and most importantly, to control the capillary-action of the stool within the bowels, when evacuated( meaning, that the mass exiting, generates some speed, and pulls as much as is possible, to the exit, as it "flushes"...this shape is also seen in a modern plumbing system under the kitchen sink( known as a "water-trap")...lastly, the shape of the "sigmoid colon" may also be a factor, due to "ballooning" of the colon, from too much wait-time, before bowel movements( "holding it"), or problems with the exit point( "hemorrhoids", stress, ect...)-- so, to show the concept, i imagined testing the psi(bar), at the opening of a kitchen sinks drain( on the bottom), and then, testing a "funnel's" psi at the exit point...i feel that the funnel will have the most pressure at the exit, due to there being no "shelf", or bottom of the sink, to support weight, preventing that force from bearing on the exit hole...since the funnel has no surface area to support weight, and the pressure is directed straight to the exit hole...in comparison, the bottom of a sink is flat, and creates a situation where only the center of the structure has pressure to the opening, and the sides have little at all( see diagram)-- i feel these physical models explain stool impactions very well( in my opinion), and displays that the issue may be correctable, by modern medicine-- 

   this is being saved here until i can get my phone figured out, and is only of value to chat with your doctor about( i feel that this b.s., is good b.s., and will stimulate a good conversation with your physician, of more value than the usual "how's the weather" small-talk)-- 

best wishes, john kruschke--      :o)

  more about the issue-- 




 Hypothetic surgical procedure to correct( remove half moons)--

  i am taking a wild guess that modern medicine may utilize a "half-moon" type pattern, to remove some of the incorrectly shaped portion of the structure( the colon), to regain the correct shape...practice on a rubber model, or a cadavers donated organ, will likely be the way the solution is derived-- 

   i haven't the-foggiest about the medicine here( but,  this seems to be bio-mechanics...ask a plumber about "water-traps", and the best shapes for pluming, and they will know stuff)...to see this dynamic "in-play", a look at the SaTo "safe-toilet" ( i found a video about them on youtube), i feel examining it's shape, will be of use...the swirling of the water in the toilet( after going through a small sluice, to generate speed) before it hits the trap, voids the solids at the exit-point...the amount of pressure needed to open the trap, controls the amount of water you need to put in the sluice, and the shape of the sluice/bowl, determines pressure-- 

 p.s. : after a short walk, and a bite to eat, i have this "ultra-super conjecture" to add...the whole game seems to be about pressures( similar to the old 1976 saab 99 cis fuel injection systems i love so much), the stomach likely does not empty until the contents are mostly liquid( generating more pressure into the tube exiting the stomach, and, once we see that the "safe-toilet's" "water-trap shape" is also found within the colon, we can see the way i feel it works, quite well, allowing us to discover them "in-play", all over the digestive tract( i suggest that the small intestines will not dump contents into the large intestines, until the right pressure is reached, and there is likely a little "water-trap shape" there, with a long drop, after that point...this shows the way pressure moves material through the gut, with these "water-trap shapes"...amazing...leading me to conclude, that the length of the intestines, and their going up and down, is related to the controlling of pressures, and the "wicking" of contents, past each "water-trap point"...and in the correct volume, until ultimately being voided by the colon...if only we could test pressures, at each of these points in a live subject, we might know exactly where the problem with a persons digestion lies...precisely( perhaps a large bore needle with a super-sensitive psi-gauge??, that could be inserted into the intestines,  through the abdomen, at these special points in the subject being tested, to determine the issue of where the colon is not performing well( due to misshapen plumbing), will be the answer...i leave it to modern medicine to sort-out--

 best wishes again, john kruschke-- 

 -- do not try at home naturally applies-- :o)   

 a last note : i imagine that the "sigmoid colon" has "blades", of-a-sort, on it's interior, from the pictures i examined online yesterday( like a concrete mixer has)...creating a "swirly"...the fastest way for matter to exit a single portal( as seen in a black hole...and the bowl of any modern toilet in the usa)...i feel others may have noticed this also, just look at any drawing of the "sigmoid colon" online, and you will see it, if you know what you are looking for-- :o)

   i will work more on this later...best wishes, john kruschke  :o)
