Hi Ken, Yes you are probably right. Simplest is always best when it comes to diy engineering. I am also an engineer of sorts, I hold a national certificate in...
The problem with resonance is you can't say it's the same with every engine. Each one is going to have small variations due to inaccuracy in say a flywheel....
Guys, check out stable matting, the re-cycled rubber stuff. I have used this as both insulation (heat) and loadspreading (500 gallon)hot tub on uneven patio....
How about some conveyor belting, I 'might' be able to get hold of some old stuff? I'm sure it is about 1/2" thick x about 4 foot (may be a bit wider still) ...
Ken, So is used transmission fluid ( filitered ) off the Lister fuel list? Archibald ... From: Ken Boak To: Lister_CSOG@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April...
Ken, What you are really after is vibration isolation. At least that's the way I see it. You are trying to prevent the vibration energy of the engine from...
Folks, I should have pointed out in my last post, to which I am replying here, that the newspaper idea was given for illustrative purposes only. It wouldn't be...
In many respects, this is a similar problem to the 'floor mounting vibration isolation, resonance problem' - it requires a theoretical understanding of...
Folks, Perhaps the best silencer you are going to find is the variety of tangential silencers found on large Diesel trucks. These are wound up in toilet paper...
Hospital silencer, as used on the canal boats these days, no idea of cost though... What do these large gennies plonked on the high street use, they are...
Guys, Paul and I have spent a full day fettling the 12hp Listeroid to the point where we got it to run on diesel at about 5pm this afternoon. We had it mounted...
... It's much harder to crank than an genuine Lister 6/1. Whether that's because of the oversize cylinder, or becuase it's not run in, I don't know. Still it ...
It's hard to do in a small volume, but easy if you've got more space. You need an expansion chamber first that can convert the pulses of gas from the engine...
So having spoken about frequencies and resonance on the sound reduction topics, I think we need an expert to design some moving weights that stop these wild...
Guys, I have a load of 9 litre / 2 gallon fire extinguishers that would make ideal expansion chambers for silencers. Even put the oil pre-heater and the water...
Ken, Sounds like you need a couple of long white tusks to mount on the front of your trailer for the Shows. "Lister the White Indian Elephant" Arch . ... From:...
One of the most effective designs is to split the exhaust flow into two, then make the path of one flow longer than the other, then merge them back up again....
......a stubborn, rampaging bull elephant, sexually frustrated, with a tooth ache, after an overdose of redbull, drinking snakebites at a football match. We've...
Mark, Speaking for Paul as well as myself, Our quantitative mathematical brains are buggered, we've spent the whole day wrestling your 800lb 12hp Albino Indian...
... two, then make the path of one flow longer than the other, then merge them back up again. The idea here is to make the wave frequencies 180degrees out of...
Hi guys, As you may have seen from the pictures at my fotopic site, I'm well advanced with final painting. In the end I went for Plasticoat as they do a nice...
To day is a good day. I just picked up my 20/2 Listeroid. Now it's time to uncrate. I hope all is well. Oh well I just wanted to tell someone.I am glad I found...
what about automobile engine mounts. i remember my dad changing them on an old escort and they seem perfect for anti vibration mounts for a CS. they were 3"...
Guys, I will be at Kew Bridge Steam Museum today with the Indian 12hp mounted on the trailer. If you are planning on coming, doors open 11am. Lots of big...
Excellent idea/strategy. We've all got Listers (mostly) and we've all got PCs and probably sound cards. If someone wants to do the measurements, it would be...
... Hey John, no worries I found your web site very interesting. I'd love to chat in more detail what you sell and what your experiences with the stuff is. I...
I Wish I had been there, sounds great. I have only rampaging calving cows to deal with at the moment. Yesterday one of them who has lost her calf and needs...
