Gene Berg 933 header with custom-made dual Moroso 2.5" spiral mufflers exhaust. Also added the O2 bung to the collector.

​@@alexandermundy2403 Where did you get that crazy dual fan shroud???

@@herbienbrian2 They are 2 separate fan shrouds. Both are custom made from sheet metal using CFD simulation and then hand adjusting of the deflectors inside them to minorly adjust the flow pattern to simulate the flow pattern of a doghouse shroud while turning the alternators with an electric motor in a jig. They flow 25% more with power pully size crank pully than a single doghouse shroud with OEM crank pulley. I also slightly increased the flow to the 3-4 side while designing them with CFD because my measurements showed the doghouse shroud flow was a little biased to the 1-2 side. I used welded OEM doghouse fans and circular cut outs from the back side of non-doghouse shrouds where they follow the contour of the fan. I incorporated OEM thermostat vanes that are functional. I did have to alter the vanes for the CB street dominator heads I have now because of clearance. I also added deflectors to even out the CHT's between 1-2 & 3-4 and between banks so all CHT's are within 25F now when warmed up at idle. That was back in 2009 so I do not have many photos, but I do have one of the cardboard mock ups. i.imgur.com/L8XH1iy.jpg

Amazing!

Much appreciated!

Thank you, I thought it was going to be insurmountable, but I stuck with it. The handmade circuit board is crude, but I have used Kicad to make a proper board (1st time trying that) that is more compact and sent the design off to get it made.

The wayback machine has it archived. web.archive.org/web/20221112214221/www.lama.univ-savoie.fr/pagesmembres/hyvernat/Misc/Vernier/vernier.html

my thoughts exactly, just need a hidden microphone

Hi Mark , seems u had more luck than I did - all I got was page not found. Any help would be appreciated. Jack

@@leonardgleeson8325 Ah I see that the original page for the Vernier Scale generator has gone offline. I found it on WayBack machine and had Chrome save a local working copy which worked for me. The same page in the archive also has the contact information for the creator so perhaps that's a way to find if they have posted it somewhere else?

Doug, from your position and over 40 years of experience what is your opinion if we want to secure high-class Safe, let's say TRTL 60x6 from ISM, Israel? From everything that I read and see, keys no matter how much they cost and how secretive they are, Everything is open with the right decoder for under the minute... Electronic locks - very convenient and easy to access, but if this thing dies you must destroy the safe to open it ( it contains glass plate lockers to protect it from drilling and concrete with steel inside making Acetylene Torch attack a nightmare ), and believe me it is super easy to kill it with a strong Neodymium Magnet. And the last option - what do you think about two 4-wheel for example La Garde Mechanical Locks. Yes, it can be manipulated, even if you can find an autodialer cracker for four wheels ( everywhere when I search is only for 3 wheels ), and will take a very long time to brute force the combination. If you want, share your professional opinion.

I have feelers out with various locksmiths in several countries. I had asked my contact in Spain about one of these and a year or so later he contacted me. I'd be ashamed to say how much a few of these have cost me. And the worst fear was realized when a "KGB" USSR Almaz lock (only a couple exist in private hands) was "lost" in transit through Germany from Russia a year ago. If anyone sees Almaz serial number 16 please contact me.

Whomever came up with the idea was thinking totally out of the box. I'm assuming the reason I haven't seen this type of mechanism before is that the expense of machining those tiny parts accurate enough would make it a commercial no go.

Good idea, so I played with that a little bit. Basically there isn't any way to control the "tension". Once the plate is attracted enough to move forward the force increases exponentially as it gets closer to the front of the lock. Once it reaches the pins it is quite a bit of force, way more than will allow the pins to move. Backing off the center magnet there is a point where the spring force is greater than the magnetic attraction force and the plate snaps back. Introducing another magnet into the field complicates it further and it either snaps back or drastically increases the "tension". Keeping light enough tension to move the pins is kind of like trying to balance a bb on a needle while someone is slapping your hand.

@@alexandermundy2403 Ah, well it was worth a try :)

Do you have the combination? Without the combination you will have to disassemble the lock.

​@@alexandermundy2403 yes I do have a combination just confusing with turnig directions!
