I receive these "messages" on almost all the groups I am on. Isn't it interesting that the opt-out line picks up the group unsubscribe link? Nasty, these...
Hey Mickey, Yes,That is very sneaky, I never noticed they were doing that. I have discovered that banning them does not work as they just rejoin under a ...
Does anyone in this group know how a clavinger mechanism is made? the mechanism is/was used to prople a bicycle in the late 1800's. It resembles not a 'pedal'...
Howdy folks, I have been considering this for a while, and wondered if the good folks here might have any ideas and suggestions. The plan is, to connect a 4...
Hi Steve, Great project! I have no doubt that you will be able to pull it off! 1300cc, that's about 80 cubic inches for those of us who are not stuck with...
Howdy SandersonDavis, Thanks kindly for your reply. Yes, I am sure it will be a winner. At the very least, it will be my biggest windmill project, ever! I look...
Hi Steve, I have been thinking about your wind powered air compressor. My experience of modifying gas engines to compressors is limited to air- cooled lawn...
Sounds good thus far - here are a couple of ideas from me if any are of use to you... You'll have more available air if you store it at higher pressure - this...
Howdy Sanderson, Yes, I have been wondering about the heating effect also. My conventional, 2 horse power, compressor becomes extremely hot. This is not due to...
Howdy Nigel, I am mighty pleased to see you have found my great little site of webness :) . Increasing the air pressure in the tanks will surely make better...
Thanks Steve. Be warned... one of the tasks I was given while a fitter at a power station was to maintain the compressors - including the flap valves (one way...
Howdy Steve, Oh how I wish I could sign up for that freebee :) . It's just a pity that I am a little too far away, d'oh :( . A VW engine does seem like a...
Howdy Nigel, It looks like you'll be a goldmine of information here :) . My experience with compressors is very limited, but I am sure to pick up a few more...

Howdy Nigel, Yes, and I am proud to be a fully fledged member of the 'Mad Scientist association' :) . More progress is being made on the compressor project. I...
Yup - you're mad as a meataxe... I love it. I like the thought of the bio diesel but even though it's CO2 neutral I prefer the "negative CO2" generation...
Hehe, I reckon that's the truth, nuttier 'n a fruitcake :) . Well, my neighbour is even worse. He did a chainsaw massacre last year. Yep, he's got the wreckage...

Are we talking about the mechanism that was used to propel kiddie cars when I wuz kids back in King Arthur's time? Sam keith green <ksgg@...> wrote: Look...
No sam, this is not THAT mechanism, though it may share some similarity(s). Thanks for the suggestion Kieth, but, "been there, done that". I have written to...
Miss Google tells me that what you seek is very likely described here, along with much other bicycle exotica ;-) [input] [input] [input] [input] American...
Thank you for the link triple x. I own this book, it is where I first learned of the mechs. in question. There is only a brief reference to the mechanism, and...
