I have been studying Mr. Allan's design tools, and find them extremely comprehensive and helpful. In the "NOTATION" section of his document,however, I am...
I use Firefox and had no trouble viewing the page. I just don't find any materials that are of use to a machinist who simply wants to make the parts for an...
This is true. The AJO process generates the values to use in the drawings but not the drawings themselves. That is why we are forming the teams. Tom...
... OK Tom, but (for the record) does this mean you & Arch are dismissing Lee White's "path"? <7764 Mar 2009> ... AFAIC Lee's at the top of the 'foodchain' and...

Hi Tom, I am just catching up with the posts from the last couple of months and saw your call to action. While AJO gives some sizing guidence and kinimatics...
Frank, The design calls for a coaxial Beta engine not a gamma. The charts are based on that. Also we are talking a 100 W engine. Rick has a neat drive...
Hi Tom, Frank, list, I haven't given up on the twin gamma, but that is a diffent animal. The design phase is complete and drawings made. Prototypes are in...
List, Long time the hoe(c)ken drive-train was mentioned. I didn't gave up the work on it but I understood I can't get the numbers in easy and simple...
CVH et al, Since the basic drive is patented, it appears that the modifications you made a derivative. Do you think there will be a problem with using it in...
Tom, List A) the patent is over 20 years old..... B) In the APAIRS.BeLs document in the last part of section 3.1 is mentioned that and I quote "It would be...
