My latest project. Recently I designed a new generation wind turbine. I am going to miniaturize my design and work it into the front trunk area of a teener. My goal is to drive coast to coast non-stop........ Ambitious? Yes! Doable? Yes! I will accept any help thrown my way!

QUOTE Well, hate to tell you Mr. aerospace engineer, but the accessory pad on the engine in question is rated for 110 inch pounds of torque. -OR- 9.16 foot pounds of torque. Again, Mr. engineer, you are talking to a person who has maintained, modified, and flown in this aircraft for almost a decade...........just so you know, maybe I have not made this fact glaringly obvious before.. You still have not said one thing relevant to this discussion. You state that an aircraft power system (that you might have actually touched once) is powerful enough to drive a radar. What radar, what power level? There are cars that have radar that tell you if you are going to hit something that draws about a quarter of a watt... What has that possibly got to do with powering a 914 with the wind? Even remotely? A small powerplant can provide a megawatt of electricity over a 1 inch cable. So I can drive a submarine with a windmill powered by my grandchild blowing on a pinwheel. See not one single (relevant) unit in that statement, but it must be true.... You have not made one single claim about your design that actually uses physics, units, or even MATH yet you expect us all to believe you "just because"???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) And I love the part where you can make the claim that I know nothing about "Aerospace Technology" after 20 years in aerospace, but now I am "Mr Engineer". Hey - dont throw stones in glass houses... (or shall I say do not light fires while supported by strawmen?) The last "vehicle" I was in charge of cost more than 1 Billion dollars.... |
