I'm building a trike and wanted to know if an acrylic shaft would suffice? The accumulator shaft would hold two cycle ratchet and a sprocket.
AI Thread Summary
Acrylic may not be suitable for an accumulator shaft in a trike due to its potential inability to withstand the necessary torque and stress. Concerns were raised about the durability of acrylic compared to metal, especially for holding components like a cycle ratchet and sprocket. The weight advantage of acrylic is noted, but a hollow metal shaft could offer similar weight while providing better strength. Additional details about the trike's size, power source, and drive shaft length are needed for a more informed recommendation. Overall, a metal shaft is suggested as a more reliable option.
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved.
He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo
(motorcycle derivation engine).
Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail.
The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke.
But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo.
The question is:
Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub
Hello :
After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing
Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source
Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
