Re: Jam Jar Car Fun

Stop giving me crazy ideas :D

Re: Mike's Build Log

That looks like a fun project. Have you thought about asymmetrical tube lengths? Intake and exhaust?

Brief Update

Mostly to busy to do anything jet wise these days. BUT.

For a variety of reasons, I have decided to build an upscaled unit;

Bigger is sometimes necessary.

New CC components on left, Old size on right.

We are preparing to move on top of everything else, so it may be awhile, before there is thunder.


Cheers

Video ....

The screws you see on the intake side do nothing but plug the holes they are in, parts re-use.

The fuel is Methanol.

Re: More in the saga of Thermo-Jam ( and other musings )

Just did, or rather re-did, an inline version test. In this order: 30" 1/2" pipe tail pipe. 1/2" to 2" bell adapter 2" x 8" pipe. 2" pipe cap with approx, 1/2" hole in it. If ignited from the tail pipe end it buzzes ( ish ) along for a wile on methanol. No pics or videos, sorry, limited time lately....

Re: More in the saga of Thermo-Jam ( and other musings )

A little correction:

An "I" drill is .2720, I have no Idea where I got .290!

I seem to have posted this error in a few places. Sorry if I have caused any confusion.

Re: More in the saga of Thermo-Jam ( and other musings )

The shorter ones are generally better able to run in either attitude, but It never occurred to me to move an operating engine.... I may have to try that.

Re: More in the saga of Thermo-Jam ( and other musings )

I built a convective device a wile back, it would buzz at the intake ports, until it would have a massive backfire. It cleaned the rafters well. Here is a much more open design, I am working on, slowly. http://youtu.be/rseO31fpYw0 http://youtu.be/rseO31fpYw0 Definitely a work in progress. That valve...

Re: Weres that DB5 with the 130rs ??

Thank you for that reminder; I have been doing some cleaning up lately and some new file boxes have turned up, I'l give them a look.
