Re: Vortex engines

Looking through my files, I came upon this sketch. It was sent to me long ago by (I think) Mark 'Thixis'. It's from some kind of a paper on pulsejets that gives a number of odd shapes people have developed. This one fits nicely into the thread on the annular engines, but that one has become a bit b...

Re: Fun with Latex?

Tupperware just came out with new pans made of some latex type stuff. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and are about a quarter inch thick. My mother is obsessed with them because she can’t get over putting rubber in the oven and it not melting. Is there any use? I dont have a clue how m...

Silicone dreaming

I have ordered some large diameter silicone tubing roughly the same diameter as my 3/4 inch pipe tubing Logan. Then too I have bid on some 1/2 inch tubing and I was going to try to assemble a quick sprint, rev up sound effects tube of some sort. Silicone tubing can only take 500 F for short periods ...

Material science stuff

I was reading in the latest Popular Mechanics of a new ceramic that can take 3800 F or for you metric people ~2,093 C. It is some ultrahigh-temperature ceramic material created by scientists at Sandia National Laboratories. I was reading that aluminum oxide has a pretty close melting point to the ab...

Come on Mark post us a sound file will ya:-) Viv[/quote] I would if I had one. That was several years ago and I disassembled the pipe to use for other shapes. I must have a couple of dozen little washers with holes drilled in them, when I look back on these used pieces in my drawer with washers and ...

Are you sure that was the doorbell ringing and not yours ears??? :) CB Romano Well, actually my weiner dog has this very sharp bark and he can start the doorbell resonating softly with a sharp yappy bark, but it's funny to hear a faint ring as if I had thumped the metal face of the fireplace with a...

No way, not me. I'll be far away for sure, with a lot more snorkel than that! I have a barrel that is about 20 inches tall and 18 inches diameter or so, and it has a substantial stiff ring that clamps the top to the upper lip by way of a screw on the clamp that pulls/locks the two ends together. An...

Man, I just got a junk propane tank for that very idea, but I'm scared! No need for fear, just use a very long ignition wire or have it positioned around the corner of your house or other protective structures, just in case. I have blasted my ears before by a super powerful hissing when lighting a ...

www.mcmaster.com - Hardened Spring Steel www.useenco.com - BLUE TEMPERED SPRING I've purchased .002ths, .003ths, .004ths, and .010ths from Enco and it is about the cheapest you can find. I've never used the .002ths yet but the .003ths was addictive. With an 11 inch long pulsejet running on a single...

Deep thoughts. I like platitudes like that, he always had something ironic to say. Too bad about his untimely demise.

Re: Under pressure

Hello- This certainly looks like an advance in available technology. I'd question the manufacturer regarding the ability of this unit to work in the enviornment in question, i.e., the intake tract of a pulsejet engine. From what I get from their promotion this unit is geared towards working in the ...

If there is some type of equation, publication or test data that shows or relates C.C. diameter and Hz, I would really like to know more about it. We're talking about a fundamental variable here. I am not aware of any, though I'd have to browse through a lot of literature to be sure. I am just extr...
