    Model plane with engine

    I had one of those control line planes back about 30 years ago. I remember its first flight very clearly, it went up and up and over and straight back down. Total flight time 3.5 seconds... I lost all interest in r/c planes after that...

    Unidentified engine

    Whats it worth? To the scrap metal yards, about $20.00 To the average Joe, not a whole lot To the builder, priceless.....

    1/4 scale V8, first project.

    Hey since your just giving it away, send me a set, but imncrease the font size to about 3/8" letters, make sure to include full color pictures perferably 8" x 10" Oh and some material...yep going to need some material....Oh parts, yes send all the parts too, perferably assembled...and fuel...

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    From thier description of the housing... Inside the housing, the air travels from the carburetor to the rear of the housing, then into the inner cleaves of the rotors and out the bottom; this is described as an axial flow. I think it may be possible to cast a housing that will work (they...

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    Pulley side = front. Basically, they made a custom case but kept the admission point at the rotors the same as the eaton. You can really see it in the link i posted above.

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    this pretty much sums it up, the air is redirected from the carb to the back of the housing..... http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/engine/hrdp-0903-small-block-chevy-blower/#photo-02

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    NEW ENFORCER SUPERCHARGERS The NEW E-Force Enforcer Supercharger systems for small-block & LS Chevy are a traditional positive displacement supercharger that is ideal for use in street rod and muscle car applications. They include a newly designed intake assembly with Eaton Gen VI 2300 TVS...

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    Im still trying to figure that one out, they are high helix rotors designed to pull air from the back of the case and push the air forward a bit before dumping it out the bottom, but there are also 8-71 blowers that are 3 lobe high helix rotors that are draw thru type. Question is would the...

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    Gail, you give me too much credit.... Im still learning, just like many following this thread :) Thank you for your time helping us out.

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    I thought they were screw type compressors?? Maybe i need to take a better look at them.

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    The eatons are an entirely different beast than the roots type superchargers. I really need to stay with the roots type for simplicity. I plan on making a pair of these supechargers for the flathead im building for betsy. Im not sure that twin superchargers of such reduced size is a wise idea...

    3/4 electric motor question

    Surprised no one asked if you have a start capacitor wired in.....

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    well that explains a couple of things. I should have set a=4 and b=1, also explains why t=180 or t=360 both had x=-1 LOL this was a small test model, and here were the printed rotors, sooner or later ill get it sorted out LOL

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    Not yet. I had done some modeling of some rotors before, but the geometry was not correct and any lash in the gears would cause the rotors to collide. The rotors were 3" dia 3 lobe and the lobe ends were .5" radius. With a 10" long rotor the displacement would have been aprox 72 ci. I 3d...

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    Yes, i do have excel. Was my math atleast correct? I enjoy figuring things out in traditional manners, it makes things more clear over the long run.

    Cool new material

    I think this is the same stuff as the moldable soft jaw material.

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    You could do it on a manual 3 axis mill with a rotary table or dividing head. Once you figure out the math anyway....

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    Ok, i think im really screwing this up. Someone check me on this please. On the hypocycloid, A=3 B=2 T=1 i get X=2.9997715414??? Is that right? If it is, what do i need to do to get the next position??? Uggg. My brain aches now....

    How do I model a supercharger rotor?

    Thanks for the input Gail. I think i might be able to bumble through the equation for the 2 lobe rotors, but what about for a 3 lobe rotor? Im no engineer, so this is going to take me some to sort out and understand so forgive the stupid question. The equation is for basically plotting...
