    Build System
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on building a cable system to transport a 20-pound bucket back and forth, resembling a ski lift on a flat plane. The user seeks guidance on the design and construction, specifically mentioning the use of an electric motor for operation. They request assistance in creating a blueprint or detailed instructions for the project. The concept is compared to a garage-door opener for inspiration. Overall, the user is looking for practical engineering advice to realize this cable system.

Okay, I'm no engineer, but I'm in need of some! I'm looking to build a type of cable system, and not even sure where to begin.

Basically, the systems purpose is to carry a single bucket slowly back and forth from one side, back to the other. Think of a ski lift, on a flat plane, using only one side of the track. Sorry that's the only way I can think of to explain it, and I know its confusing.

An electic motor would most likely be used to power it, and it would be outside. The bucket would weigh 20 pounds tops.

Can start to explain to me how to build this, or help me draw up a blueprint?

Feel free to message me for details? Thank you!

Think garage-door opener and see if you get some inspiration from that.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
