| The Artful Bodger's nutating engine! |
| << < (15/15) |
| NickG:
Bogs, I like that one more than other versions I've seen with horrible flexible connecting rods! Nick |
| CallMeAl:
Very interesting concept. I really enjoy seeing unusual engine designs. Nice build, I am looking forward to seeing it run. When I see something like this and then find out the design is based on an idea 100+ years ago I am amazed at the ingenuity. All done without CAD, computers, etc. Thanks, John, for showing me another new "twist" :thumbup: |

--- Quote from: sbwhart on August 04, 2009, 02:14:33 AM ---John Thats good advice from Bogs, I've had a lot of experience with industrial adhesives and used in the right place they do a great job use them in the wrong place or in the wrong way and your in trouble, hence people shy away from them. Just to give you an idea of how good they can be if used correctly, its now common practice to fasten Full size loco wheels to the axles using high strength loctite. If you google loctite there some good info there about how to use there product. Have fun Stew --- End quote --- Hi all, with regard to locktite, when using the "stud and bearing mount" max strength, a regular amount of "press" is recommended, with the locktite acting as a lubricant for the pressing, and it does fill in sub-microscopic voids and the intersticies of the grain of the metal, so it is in fact, a much stronger joint than it would be without the locktite, even though it would seem all the fluid would be squeezed out, logically. I would say this is why it is now used on full sized loco wheels. We used it with shafts and such in jet engines on helicopters in the Marines for permanent mounting, decades ago with success. There's a lot more room "inside" a press fit joint that logic and imagination would lend credit for. mad jack |
