AI Thread Summary
A parafoil design is needed for a controlled descent of a 1.2 lb payload, utilizing two control lines operated by a servomotor. The user is seeking recommendations for suitable parafoils and reliable purchasing sources, expressing frustration over extensive online searches. Additionally, there is interest in designing a parafoil capable of carrying a 200 g payload with a descent time of 100 seconds. The Flexifoil website is suggested as a potential resource for parafoil options. The discussion emphasizes the need for guidance in both design and sourcing for effective payload descent.

I'm working on a project that requires 1.2lb(approx.)-payload to be descended by a parafoil. The parafoil needs to have 2 control lines which will be steered by a servomotor. However, I don't know what parafoil to use, nor where to buy it from (even after countless number of searches online). I really need help on this. Thank you very much.

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

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...
