nothing like that, no.
its for whats called a towed electro-magnetic system. basically a giant rectangle of wire 18MX20M, that a 350amp current is pumped along. the current is forcibly shut off,...
thanks for the reply.
its very difficult to look at the structure in the middle, because there is a layer of (non-structural) kevlar around the outside of the peice preventing me from even seeing...
im surprised Rob Woods hasnt chimed in on this one yet.

yep, thats right.
when the beam is being laid up it is supported at either end. the weight of the carbon causes some sag in the middle of the beam, then once the cabon has gelled the deflection is...
you dont need a proper tach. we had two shift lights, next to the pneumatic shifter buttons. cant get any more brainless than that. if a light comes on, press the button next to it.
of course, we...
we had a uni account too. we were really friendly with the purchasing officer in mech eng, which was essential because she had to go way above and beyond the call of duty for us by following up on...
im sure there are others around here that know more about transmissions than me, but AFAIK the only way to damage a motercylcle transmission is by shifting too slow. the dogs grind instead of...
hi all.
im currently building some composite poles for a rather complicated application. anyway, the things are 6 metres long, hexagonal in shape (100mm tall). we currently build them on a...

geez big g, somedays you make no sense you know that?
here, an ex. cal poly pomona says that they got 1400 shifts out of a 12oz CO2 tank.
we went with a 12oz, and while i never tested how many shifts we could get out of it, we never came close to...
ah good, i only use polystyrene.
carcinogenic? blah, the burnt skin of a chicken is carcinogenic. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
ahhhh, thats why i always feel so sick after cutting...
can anyone confirm this cyanide gas? i do a lot of hot wire cutting, and thats kinda scary...
hey Dr. Claw, ive been looking at vacuum infusion, but im pretty inexperienced and thought that it would be too hard to learn (get over the "crapshoot" time u were talking about).
how long did it...
im sure someone will describe some better methods later, but for the moment ill have a shot.
one method in to make small inserts (we made ours out of aluminium). the inserts were a cylinder about...
i wasnt actually in the design event, so i shouldnt be commenting too much on what we did and didnt do, cause ill probably get it wrong...
i would advise against a turnbuckle, because the wire gets alot of slack in it as it heats up (which makes for ugly cuts). use springs to control the wire tension. of course, it might not matter with...
ign kill was simple with our motec, just another input. i would say its worth selecting your ECU before bothering making an external ign kill.
