Can I Use an Air Cylinder for Pumping Alumina-Filled Polyester Resin?

AI Thread Summary
An air cylinder can be used for pumping alumina-filled polyester resin, as suggested in the discussion. The user is considering a specific pneumatic air cylinder for this purpose and plans to use another cylinder for moving the resin pump. The resin is at normal temperature and in liquid form before mixing with a hardener. A diagram of the proposed system is expected to clarify the setup. Overall, the feasibility of using an air cylinder for this application is being explored.

Hello

I need to build a pump to transfer alumina filled polyester resin. Can I use something like this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1Pcs-KSC50x100-50mm-Bore-100mm-Stroke-Double-Action-Pneumatic-Air-Cylinder-/350908339995?hash=item51b3c4571b ? One to use resin pumping, other for moving the resin pump with air.

Excuse my English, it's not my native tongue

Can you diagram your system? Are you pumping high-temperature melted resin?

Ok, I try to diagram my system on evening.

No, the resin is in normal temperature, it is liquid what is later mixed with hardener.

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
