More acclaim for Physics for Gearheads by Randy Beikmann - order your copy today!
Another round of great reviews for Physics for Gearheads has come in, showing that Randy Beikmann's book on the physics of vehicle dynamics, energy and power in automobiles is equally at home in an automotive enthusiast library, in a professional motorsports workshop or in a physics or mechanical engineering classroom.
"This would be a terrific textbook for a college-level course in automotive engineering, learning how to compute how kinetic energy of a vehicle in motion is converted to heat in the braking process, how the heat in a fuel is turned into power, or how to predict the force on a suspension pushrod."
"...if you are looking for a primer in physics that covers the major aspects and principles, and are also an automotive enthusiast, Beikmann's book will make an invaluable contribution to your science education...and perhaps make you a better driver too."
"Physics for Gearheads is an awesome resource for bringing relevance to an introductory physics class. The pictures and corresponding text truly bring the concepts to life. I would use this as a companion text for a general physics class or as a curriculum text for an elective or choice class."
"This book is destined to become the new bible of performance engineering for the regular guy. You will refer to it over and over again and it will likely become thoroughly dog-eared addition to the rule books and cam cards in the top of your tool box. The author's style is engaging without the intimidation that often accompanies a read of this nature...a "Must Read" for every gearhead, car guy and performance enthusiast."
