    Short Column Slenderness Ratio

    Desertfox - Thanks so very much for your help with this. I'm not familiar with Rankine-Gordon but I'll look into that. rb1957 - N=3. (Ground support Equipment. What do you think? Still use Johnson?

    Short Column Slenderness Ratio

    1. I have a slenderness ration of 23.7 and my material is steel. The appropriate range for steel is 30<Le/k<120 (Structural Steel) what do you do with the equation if the Slenderness Ration is less than 30? Do you use Euler's Formula or Johnson's formula? I can't remember. 2. Schedule 40 Pipe...

    Thick sail

    Felix, I allow for the variable wind speed from surface of the water to the top of the mast through tapering the foil (Leading edge constant). It's relatively easy to do because when the foil is adjusted it adjusts in unison throughout the whole (Bottom to top) foil. So, The boundry layer near...

    Thick sail

    Quite a bit. I have a mechanical working model of the conformal wing. It's a single point actuated wing that changes 3 sections of the wing at one point. I not sure if you can post pictures on this but if you can I leave a picture I have of it. I'm going to try a model of it on a friends RC...

    New Minix winglet patented by Christian Hugues

    From personal experience some of the origin winglet work was done by Dr. Konig at Mississippi State University (I worked in the wind tunnel during my sophomore year). If need be he would take calls from anyone with this sort of question. He was always helpful as a professor. I'm not sure of...

    Thick sail

    I can't talk about the Eppler airfoil because I don't have my airfoil info in front of me but I would think a simple sail such as 0012 (12% of chord), 0010 (10% of chord) etc. would give you the ability to tack with the same sail effect on either side of your tack plus they (Percentage foils)...

    Variable Cambered wing

    Thanks Mohr! Looks like an awesome program. Did you have any thing to do with the program? Thanks again Mklt

    Hey, Does anyone know of a reasona

    Hey, Does anyone know of a reasonably price lab to analyse a formula that could test for Conduction Coefficient, Specific heat, viscosity, density, surface tension, saturation pressure vs. temprature, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Variable Cambered wing

    I start with a NACA 0012 wing cross section. I then can magically curve the chord line to form an smooth arch around the 30% so that the leading edge is much like a droop nose and the aft magic chord forms to a 15 Deg. slope at the 66% pt and about a 30% slope at the trailing edge. Can anyone...
