Even an indicator pressure test on an oscilloscope shows us that the pressure drops, but does not show us WHERE it escapes ...

I think that the exhaust gases from the ship's chimney are warm enough and there are a lot of them, so that such a motor gives you some extra electricity ..Feliks wrote:

Thank you for the wishes of Merlyn .. actually the raccoon must be quite large, but that's probably why it is the first such a large thermal engine of such sizes .. Turbo versions, they have already done and it is a bit smaller, but just enter the GPS coordinates and should provide these few dollars for a gift ..Merlyn wrote:Super bit of kit with Santa flying around in your somewhat large shed you have over there Andrew.
Perhaps you could design a turbo version which would carry a large payload of a fistful of dollars and route it over my way in time for a New Years present?
Back to practicalities I fear that there could be a design fault with your balloon engine.
Looking at the drum it would appear to be a contra rotation situation here with the right hand balloon turning the winch rope drum clockwise in the ascent mode whereby the left hand balloon is turning the winch rope drum counter clockwise in the ascent mode?
Reverse polarity maybe?
The genset looks suspiciously more like a dynamo than an alternator so maybe a dc to ac invertor might be applicable here perhaps?
Just a thought.
Happy new year to you ( whatever your rotation )
Well, here such a movie, if it could work such a balloon power plant ..Feliks wrote:
