    Manual press design

    I found this solution to what i need, if I beef up the design , remove the jack and fit a longer manual lever it should press out a good solid brick of fuel at a good rate. https://youtu.be/c_UuVV7fhMc?si=93vFj415D1JNB_VS

    Manual press design

    The design of the press would be effort and time saving if the product could be formed in one pull of a lever, the problem with a hydraulic jack is pumping the thing up each time, which makes producing these on a large scale very time consuming . A fly press is an option but big ones cost a...

    Manual press design

    I'm thinking about the design of a hand press to produce fuel logs from wet cardboard slurry and I would like to acheive it by using a long lever or series of levers, no jacks ot motors, can anyone give me any tips on design of such mechanisms and how to acheive the maximum pressing power ?

    Snake oil product or not ?

    Why would increasing the radiant heat transfer from the fuel to the stove body be better than the other methods of heat transfer to the stove body?

    Snake oil product or not ?

    Recently a product has come on the market that consists of a cage to hold coal inside a solid fuel burning stove in a vertical stack instead of laying piled up on the great, the inventor claims this increases radiant heat, buyers are reporting they are saving significant amounts of fuel using...

    air to water heat exchanger

    As i said the HX would need to be a bigger area than the standard ducting coming off the engine to make up for the restriction.

    air to water heat exchanger

    Tis an air cooled engine, there is no water involved, all the heat is blown away up a ducting.

    air to water heat exchanger

    can anyone tell me what the restriction in airflow is through any types of air to water heat exchanger ? My application is recovering 80 degree C hot air flow from an air cooled engine to heat water. Maybe this type of heat exchanger ?

    recovering heat from hot air stream

    The plus side is the fuel consumption to the engine is only 1 liter an hour, which i want to get near to 80 oC using the hot air stream.

    recovering heat from hot air stream

    i have an 3 cylinder air cooled diesel engine, with a vertical hot air duct, 650 cm2, @ 80 degrees C max , i want to pre heat vegetable oil fuel from this air stream, what kind of heat exchanger would suit this purpose ? naturally the air flow cannot be interupted much, or the engine will...
