Hi Mike,
Have you ever gotten around to play with these engines some more?

Re: Mike's Build Log
Sadly, no. I find PJet work is something I do when I can have joy in my heart, and '22 was rough. Lost my mom and brother, heavy sigh.
So the 3d printed motor sits there waiting for me to machine a new starting jet fitting.
Clockwork has become more soothing for the moment. I don't know why the two are different as to my state of mind.
I have laid in the stuff to make a pjet with ceramic matrix carbon fiber as the next thing, and still imagine the 3d going a bit larger.

Re: Mike's Build Log
Here's what I've been working on lately, non-resonant timekeepers.
And here's a paper I've written about it, some light bathroom reading!

Re: Mike's Build Log
Mike, that's a super interesting read, and already a very cool clock.
Re: Mike's Build Log
About time someone posted something here again! See what I did there?....I'll let myself out. Nice clock Mike!

Re: Mike's Build Log
Mike that's a lot of research and "time" you've put into the project. Interesting history and methodologies. The magnetic induction brought to mind a viscous fluid resistance effect.

Re: Mike's Build Log
Ha, Mark, spot on. The next one is a viscous shear type, and the deep dive has been how to compensate for viscosity change with temperature, and using liquids available three centuries ago, like ethanol. That approach has a chance of doability in the 1700's.
