The frame would be the tuning fork, which would, in theory, vibrate upon impact with another object. The tires, wheels and suspension would be like the hand that stops the resonation of the tuning fork after it has been struck. I understood what you meant, though. Strange, isn't it, that in the show...

The interesting thing about all of this is that, in order to crash through the rigid barriers as he did in the show, KITT would have had to have very high rigidity. That is, any flexing would have absorbed part of the energy necessary to penetrate other rigid objects. Yet, materials with higher yiel...

I liked Bonnie in sexy dresses, but I don't know if she would have looked right in extra short shorts... Anyway, let's give the Dukes some credit, eh? As a West Virginia native, I speak for all the males (and most of the females) in this state when I say that the General trumps every car out there f...

KITT-like AI entity in Speaker for the Dead
KITT and Jane sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g, haha. Ok, here's what this is all about. Orson Scott Card, the author of the much-acclaimed Ender Wiggin series which begins with Ender's Game , wrote a sequel entitled Speaker for the Dead . I need not go into all the details, but in this book, a senti...

Hmmm. Well, I originally intended to go to college to learn computer science. However, Marshall University doesn't exactly have the greatest comsci department. It does, however, have a quite respectable English department. Having long since fallen in love with chivalry (even when I didn't know it) d...

Well, DH's acting might have a distinctly sharp cheddar flavor, but I have to give MK a little credit for having more brains than some have said. It was he in TDR that figured out how to defeat KARR, when neither Devon, KITT nor Bonnie had a better solution. In Give Me Liberty, he remained on the ca...

In my mind's eye I see something black, something sleek...wait! It looks like a 1982 Trans Am! Nah, that's just to fool everyone, it's really a...1982 1/2 Trans Am with something swooshing back and forth in front, kind of like those things at the supermarket--what are they, scanners? Hmmm, I'll have...

Hello. I'm 23, a grad student at Marshall U in West Virginia, currently working on my Master's in Education (I undergraded in English, though perhaps it doesn't show). I was barely old enough to see the original KR run, but I didn't really understand it very well until the reruns began on WGN, USA, ...

Speaking of likes for 2005 and KR, I'd like to see Patricia MacPherson win her fight to save Ballona and declare an interest in playing a large role in the new movie. Continuing on, I'd also like to see a KR game for Gamecube, and a re-release of KR lunchboxes...I'd be the envy of everyone at the un...

Jab at DOH/General Lee in "Give me Liberty..."
I apologize if this has been mentioned before but I noticed a serious of suspicious coincidences in the episode. It features a bright orange charger driven by two redneck guys--one blonde, the other darker--who have rebel flag patches on their shirts, like the General had on its roof. Am I just loon...

KITT-like turbine technology for homebuilders?
Hello all. As most of you are well aware, KITT incorporated turbine technology in his powertrain as a means of obtaining high power and efficiency levels in a small package. Some home builders actually make turbojets and turboshaft engines from old car and diesel turbochargers to power karts like th...

There is practically no limit to the amount of heat that a laser or array of lasers can produce given that light has minimal mass and you can fit an almost limitless number of light waves in a certain amount of space. Therefore, you can fit an almost infinite amount energy in a space. Scientists in ...
