Here they can only fly in the winter because it's too hot the rest of the year, the balloons won't go up.

Wheel Horse.

Hadn't heard that name in a while.

Gravdigr 08-26-2017 03:57 PM

Nice, now he needs to have some sort of winch system that will hang it up in that super tall ceiling space out of the way.

Big pump...

BigV 09-11-2017 10:55 AM

That IS a big pump. At first, before I saw the caption, I thought it might have been a turbine in a hydroelectric plant. Twil and I toured a hydro plant (she arranged the tour as a birthday gift for me--I love that woman) . The shaft was gargantuan. There are pics, I'll find them.

I've climbed down into the swirl cage of a water-turbine generator being repaired at Grand Coulee Dam, when I worked for Westinghouse. Big and scary inside.

I knew a girl like that.:cool:

BigV 09-13-2017 12:53 AM

Down in the... ahem... swirl cage?

xoxoxoBruce 09-13-2017 01:58 AM

Yes, the swirl cage is a shaped concrete cage with curved walls, having small steel sliding windows around the periphery. These windows, many many feet below the surface, hold back the whole damn lake. When they open the water enters at an angle with great force, driving the vertical water turbine and the generator above it. If those widows opened when you were in there, even without a turbine in place, you wouldn't stand a snowball's chance it hell.

I found it, not homemade, it's a 1901 Slinger. Was 5 hp, one gear, 35mph. Copper radiator around the cylinder.

Griff 09-15-2017 06:29 AM

That is pretty cool.

There are loads of interesting designs out there for toys and tools that simply lacked lightweight motors... Maybe I should just build an aircraft.

Back in the day they had to train mechanics to service a tremendous variety of cars, when many of the students had never driven a car.

Ruben Vinylos of Argentina built this incredible 1924 Model T Roadster Pickup in 1:5 scale.
He made all the parts from raw stock... and it runs.


Griff 10-09-2017 06:17 AM

It even sounds scale. That is cool.

Not surprising this didn't take off...

glatt 10-27-2017 07:44 AM

Hey guys, I have an idea. Let's build a car that is the same size on the outside as a regular car, but doesn't handle as well, and has huge oddly shaped bumps that stick into the passenger cabin and limit you to only two passengers. Who needs room to stretch your feet out anyway?

This is a damn clever idea if you're careful not to twist it.

glatt 10-27-2017 10:57 AM

Just like a japanese style pull saw.

Speaking of which, should you set up your hacksaw teeth to cut on the pull stroke or push stroke when using a regular hack saw?

Gravdigr 10-27-2017 12:12 PM

I've always seen them set for the pull.

xoxoxoBruce 10-27-2017 11:51 PM

Really, I've only seen hacksaws set for the push.

BigV 10-28-2017 01:02 PM

ingenious!

Twin Diesels...

Gravdigr 11-09-2017 01:59 PM

What's that between the dipstick and the shifter? (And don't say the steering wheel!)

Fuel pressure gauge? Boost?

Ducati V-4 don't need no timing belts, gears and gears and gears. We're talking a 7500 RPM motor.

Gravdigr 11-11-2017 03:42 PM

See, now, that looks reliable as a hammer, but, Ducati.:right:

Pretty impressive speed for 1948, I see it has a belly pan.

Gravdigr 11-24-2017 12:31 AM

Clean ride.

That's what "CR" stands for on the plaque.;)

Idk what the "CR" stands for.:p:

Chopped roadster, maybe?

Good guesses. I guessed "Custom Roadster". Now I think it means Club Racing.

C class roadster, by weight and displacement.

Why waste that old Hit&Miss engine grinding grain, washing clothes, or making ice cream, when you can have fun...

With a 600cc 2-stroke driving the front wheel on unpaved roads, I can't imagine the noxious cloud coming out from under that front fender. :greenface

Happy Monkey 12-06-2017 10:40 AM

Apparently, that one may be the only one that exists.

Gravdigr 12-06-2017 11:34 AM

Interesting Wiki article, here.

600cc. Two-stroke. 297 lbs. Bet it ran like a striped-ass ape.

Good find, Bruce.
