    Water injection

    BigClive, seems to me that about 25 years ago there was a water injection system on the market that claimed in Create roughly 15% power, thus savings. However, it was a long time ago and they no longer make the system either because it didn't work (scam) or computers adjust the system to...

    Starter fuels for a diesel engine

    A trick we use in the Northeast when cold-starting diesels is quite simple and has worked every time. Go to your plumbing store and buy a roll of heating element tape used to keep plummeting from freezing. Wrap each injector and about 3 inches of the fuel line supplying the injector. Without...

    Water injection

    You may want do do some research on HH0 Generation. I've been doing a lot of reading lately on the subject. The trick appears to strike the correct balance between energy used (to split the elements) and energy received from the HHO produced! Pretty interesting stuff...

    INGROUND CNG INPUT

    Good point! What kind of up front and continued cost of the Methanol Bubblier?

    INGROUND CNG INPUT

    Good question! As long as we don't bring the high pressure into a dwelling. Hmmmm?!

    Tricky wind turbine question

    Hence the beauty of the tether. You don't have to be close. Agreed, you would not want to be close enough to be hit with flying pieces.

    INGROUND CNG INPUT

    MortenA Thanks for the input. My plan is to move the drip tank to pre-regulator position. Hopefully we get better cold weather results. Current config. attached. Blue arrows pre-regulator, red is regulators, green into and out of drip tank. Thanks...

    INGROUND CNG INPUT

    Not yet. I'm 475' away from the well. It was drilled in 1972, I believe in the Medina vain and was never connected to a pipeline as the responsible co. went bankrupt. The well was completed so the owner at the time would get gas. However, winter came and pressure dropped and the well lay...

    INGROUND CNG INPUT

    I have,, like so many others, a natural gas well in the North East 5 miles inland from Lake Erie, PA. that slows significantly in the cold weather. Therefore a solution has been contrived (in my head) to pump the gas into tanks during the warm summer when the well produces hundreds of pounds...

    What is an Adjustable Ring in a Water Level Control Box ?

    Are you asking about a float system to control a given water level?

    Young Modulus Calculation

    dhenger is correct, IMHO Listen, a chain is only as strong as the weakest link. This holds true in composite materials unless you are talking interwoven, mesh and carbon fiber, etc. Lamination's, as questioned above cannot be achieved (perfect layered adhesion) when working with "different...

    Young Modulus Calculation

    Always calculate using the weakest material of the composite. (Assuming your theoretical starting point of perfect) But I always over-engineer by 5%.

    Tricky wind turbine question

    The designers/engineers need to apply a tether on the opposite side of the hub and connect it to a slip-ring so it can be quickly accessed. Then it could be attached to a vehicle (or winch w/block) so the blades can be pulled out of the wind. IMHO!
