Working on revolutionary new design

Ted,What is that motor?Any url for it.telfFlying - The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. (Douglas Adams-The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

[Mark Horan]

Ted,Thanks for the pictures, It took my mind off calling Flyinhi a grissle gripper for about a week!

[Ken Watson]

Marcus, where you been. Rang and talked to the young bloke. Been in the air? Ken

[NiqueNaque]

Looks frightfully uncomfortable, I hope there aren't too many new and inovative designs out there...Cheers,Nick.

[NiqueNaque]

Telf,That flux capacitor, you may need to give it to Eric for a while, so he can control himself...

[Echo]

Without the orange cone , that looks a lot like Mark chasing his cows down at Braidwood..... Hey,Flyinhi! You posted a question on 'ere & everyones trying to help you out but you havent replied.......I think you orta show some gratitude & at least thank some of these guys for their input,after all it will be us who will eventually get you in the air (one way or another......)

Giday Echo,ya better hurry up ere, your miss'n all the action.Ignorance is bliss............but only till you realise you were.You can always get the answer you want, if you ask enough experts.

[Ken Watson]

Let's hope it does not backfire. Or is that the funnel where you pour the fuel in. My kids want to know if you can blow bubbles with it. This is definately CLT. Thats not Mark, there not his boots. Ken.

[NiqueNaque]

I near died laughing...Cheers,Nick.

got tears here reading the above !!!!!!!!Whats the ride going to be like in turbulence ?????BrianYou never know how far you can go, till you get there !

[Mark Horan]

Think there could be a few problems with flying through the vortex created by the outlet from the orange turbine.....There doesnt appear to be anywhere to carry the dog to blame the stink on!

I'm not sure if there has been a similar system used in the past, if there has , it will almost cerainly be found in the Lovegrove books, available from our Librarian. See my post under "Builder's Rescources"John EvansThink logically and do things well, think laterally and do things better.

Been ponder'n this brilliant new idea, and the thing that wurrys me most is wot happens if theres an accidental 'follow through'?? A follow through would consist of a 'solid' exhaust emission, providing magnifyed thrust, or recoil.this could be a hand full for a newbe.[or a face full if your follow'n it.]Also, have the enviromental consiquenses of such a setup been concidered?? I'v heard meathain is more harmfull to the 'o' zone than regular internal combustion exhaust emissions.[just the museings of a SCG.]Ignorance is bliss............but only till you realise you were.You can always get the answer you want, if you ask enough experts.

Telf, try this site.www.microjeteng.comThe design for the Turbo-Prop has been based on the standard HF65, 100 and 150 engine units and at present can provide up to 130 horsepower. Based on the weight of an 82 kilo piston engine of comparable power, the Turbo-Prop is an incredible 7 times lighter. This weight advantage, combined with its multi-fuel facility, results in greater economy and a much higher power to weight ratio. The design has many other benefits over the equivalent piston engine, some are listed below:- - Extended service intervals based on the greater structural integrity of the engine design, - Direct airframe mounting, - Greatly reduced vibration, - Flexible prop size, - Reduction in engine noise, - Engine upgrades to achieve greater horsepower. The Turbo-Prop is versatile in its application:- - Generators, - Experimental aviation aircraft, - - UAV/Drones and small missiles, - Helicopters, - Gliders. The possibilities are endless! Stolen from their web site... for your benefit.Ted
