I am missing how the buoyant chambers are 'pushed down' to be compressed. Their buoyant force is being countered by the lifting force of the expanding chambers on the other wheel? And this system will rotate? I am still missing how this will work.
I have read your description many times and I am still missing how this will move purely based on difference of buoyancy. You have a 3:1 gear ratio between wheel1 and wheel2, the wheels are equal diameter, and you have the corrugated gas chamber belt tightly stretched around the wheels, the...
I am old enough to know job markets are always tough for new grads / those with limited experience. Occasionally, a given area / specialty may have a major run up but then others are stagnant. The late 70's had grads paying finder's fees to job placement agencies while if you were in the right...
Ok - I get your reasons. Your proposed mechanism is interesting and I have found it engaging to understand what the benefits are and how it could be implemented. Good luck with your development work.
OK, now I understand. Your moving schematics are not showing the long fixed extension arm from the piston. This long arm is going to impose significant moment on the piston, increasing friction and the potential for jamming. Certainly, the piston length can be increased to work but then its mass...
Andrey29R, your mechanism diagram and explanation of operation still leaves me with a misunderstanding: how does the working piston and its connecting rod travel the long length of the combustion chamber all while maintaining a closed cylinder? Am I totally missing the design?
I have scaled the...
Eufalconimorph, I have never modified a web browser page, a CSS, or anything on a web forum so 90% of what you posted is intriguing but non-actionable by me! Can you provide a step-by-step instruction on what to do with the code segment you created? Or did you do that and I just do not...
Chris Lehto has admirable bona fides (BS material science, USAFA, 12+years F-16 pilot), but his chutzpah to start his video by stating: "If you are like most people, including all of our mainstream scientists, you are probably confused by experiments like the double-slit experiment, how does...
After I turned off all the default notifications, 'Unwatched' all default threads, cleared all new posts, and then set only the forums/messages I am interested in to 'Watched', I am starting to like the new format. The large font size and wasted space in the page view is irksome since it forces...
Interesting mechanism. As 3DDave has mentioned a power diagram would be very telling to determine the potential usefulness of your design. I would really learn alot from seeing how that analysis is done. It appears to me the middle slider bearing will potentially empart significant power losses...
Similar situation for me: ~17 notifications so far, most of the watched forums I have not visited. So I 'Unmatched' the forums - hopefully, this works to undo the unwanted emails . . .
Amazing scour power. Rebuilding the railroad track bed is going to require an immense amount of fill material moved back in. The Nolichucky is quite a meandering river it will interesting to see where all scour material dropped - there must be huge sediment deposits on inner banks and into the...
