AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! as you can see the kart is powered by two IDENTICAL lockwoods. The first one worked perfectly when I tested it so I decided to make another one for additional power on the kart. Unfortunately my seccond engine WILL. NOT. SUSTAIN. It pulsates (barely) when startin...

Here's an interesting mental exercise for those reading. In the setup described -- using the heat of the flame to vaporize the propane, will the pressure of the gas exiting the copper tube exceed the pressure inside the tank and, if so, will that pressure be appreciably higher, and if so, will it be...

I checked my email log and my reply to you with the book details appears to have bounced. Can you send a message through the contact form on my website at http://aardvark.co.nz/contact just so that I'm sure I've got the address dead right?

For those who have trouble seeing how an apparently non-sinsoidal waveform can indeed contain a sinsodial component, this page is excellent: http://www.clubi.ie/amhiggins/fourier1.html Note how a sawtooth waveform is built from a fundemental (sine wave) plus harmonics. What an FFT does is calculate ...

Yes, but the O-Rays are useless on their own as they tend to cancel each other out. It was for this reason that the Germans also came up with the highly impenitrable partition (HIP for short. However, a single HIP was insufficnet and would soon be broken down by the O-Rays. Eventually they found tha...

Don't forget that if the airframe is vibrating, those vibrations will create their own pressure waves inside the structure and cockpit. Pressure-waves create vibration, vibraiton creates pressure waves. The difference between a vibration and a pressure wave could (loosely) be simply a matter of whet...

They may not vibrate sinsoudally, but they do vibrate. just do the math: Take an engine like the V1 with a 20-inch tailpipe. That's a cross-sectional area of 314 square inches. Now assume that we have peak combustion pressures (as you quote) of 23psi and minimum pressures (as you quote) of 9psi. Let...

The noise issue is a vexing one, and one which I'm presently looking very closely at. However, what most people forget is that aircraft, no matter what form of propulsion they use, are very noisy devices. You can hear a Huey coming from miles away because of the slap of its rotors. Something as anci...
