    X Band Planar Antenna Design Source?

    I contacted the universities research departments. They wanted $50,000 to $65,000 just for the design. I had a commercial quote for $50,000 to design and prototype. I was hoping somebody with the right software could design the channels and slots and centerfeed and we could make the antenna...

    laser cutting plastic questions

    We are looking at integrating a laser onto a robot for cutting thin plastic but we know almost nothing about lasers. Is there a company that makes a laser that feeds thru flexible fibers? It seems everybody we have talked to so far uses mirrors. Definately not optimal for robot integration...

    Pressure drop accross a wire mesh screen calculation?

    We had a really basic testing setup. Not at all calibrated. We are machine designer type engineers, not HVAC type guys. but, we used a blower with about twice as much flow as required and measured about 0.2 to 0.25 inch WC differential with a homemade manometer. Couldn't have made a much...

    Pressure drop accross a wire mesh screen calculation?

    How do you calculate the pressure drop accross a wire screen mesh with the following parameters? Air Flow, 68inch/sec thru a stainless steel woven wire screen mesh, #6 mesh, (0.12inch square openings) with .047 wire which is 51.8% open. The numbers we calculated using the ASHRAE methods seemed...
