Woodworking Truck Top Speed Challenge. Wooden PickUp Test
A group of woodworking enthusiasts from Texas created an unusual challenge by placing a pick-up truck on a treadmill and measuring its top speed. The team used a Ford F-150 and placed it on a flat treadmill, set at a maximum inclination of 5%. With the wheels spinning freely, the treadmill reached its maximum speed of 12 mph, while the pick-up truck topped at 8 mph. The experiment was done to simulate the conditions in which a hovercraft would perform, as the group is planning to build one for their next project. #dragrace #woodworking #trucksimulator
About Pickup truck
A pickup truck or pickup is a light or medium duty truck that has an enclosed cabin, and a back end made up of a cargo bed that is enclosed by three low walls with no roof. In Australia and New Zealand, both pickups and coupé utilities are called utes, short for utility vehicle. In South Africa, people of all language groups use the term bakkie; a diminutive of Afrikaans: bak, meaning bowl or container.
