Claveau Descartes, 1948. Another debutante at the 35th Paris Mondial de l'Automobile. An advanced 6 passenger luxury saloon by Émile Claveau with a SOHC alloy 2.3 litre V8 engine driving the front wheels through a 5 speed gearbox. The bodywork was fabricated from an alloy of aluminium and copper called Duralinox. Claveau had presented the car in model form a year before but 75 years ago this weekend he showed a fully working prototype that had been built with the cooperation of Aluminium Français. The Descartes had a drag coefficient of 0.29 and a top speed of 95 mph, both remarkable for 1948. However it went no further than a single prototype

So, in other news, I made some hypothetical new additions to the Fighting Alloy Team from Smash Bros Brawl, which are one of those concepts I'd love to see come back if they bring back something like Smash Run, along with the Wireframes and the FIGHTING POLYGON TEAM.
Since all the alloys are based on existing character animation rigs, I decided to go with the Violet Alloy being based on the general sword-characters and Orange Alloy being based on heavy characters, mostly DK.
I have vague ideas bumping around for them, but it's mostly just vague ideas at this point, but either way, because I can, these goobers are under CC-BY 4.0, free to use however you want as long as you credit me, Thomas F Johnson, as their creator. Have fun!

I NEED AN EXTREMELY NICHE AND SPECIFIC QUESTION ANSWERED
What is the material density of CrCoNi (equal portion HEA) compared to mild stainless steel: and what would the weight of a 1 m cubed block of CrCoNi be compared to a 1 m cubed block of stainless steel (which weighs 7,850 kg/m cubed)?
...Asking for, uh. A friend?;;
