He is also multitasking most times and that makes it so much more interesting. I really like BWT but this format is so much better. Life on the hulls is amazing as well. He has a bit too much personal life travel unrelated mixed in but doing amazing work.

Engine work made easy. Combustion engines work on the following principals Fuel and air get sucked into the cylinder. The piston goes up reducing the volume. Using the combined gas law P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 P2 goes up, V2 goes down, and T2 goes up to maintain the equation. Thus ignition in diesel if you're using gas then a spark is used to help since they run at lower compression ratios. Oil lubricates the parts, water cools the parts. It's very simple. Suck, Bang, Push, Blow.

A seven layer laminate won't spring back enough to notice. Incidentally, the way to cut things like your deck beam to final length is with a thin kerf japanese back saw. Put the beam against the surface you want it to fit against and cut it in place. You only remove the thickness of the blade from the end of the piece. A couple of cuts and - perfect fit.
@davidpiper35045 жыл бұрын
The amount of spring back is inversely proportional to the number of layers in the beam. I bet it doesn't move very much at all . Great vid!....

The biggest problem with spinning an AC generator is maintaining correct voltage and frequency because both are dependent upon engine RPM. AT the same time, simply generating DC that matches the battery bank voltage is also not optimal because it is easy to overcharge the batteries. You have to look at a full electrical SYSTEM solution. IMHO, for good, clean, consistent (voltage and frequency) AC power you need an inverter, likely in the 3KW range. An inverter of that sizes requires at least a 24V battery bank (48v would be even better if you have the space). Solar charge controllers for 24V or 48V are not an issue. Now we are back to a DC generator for the baby Perkins. Balmar makes 24V alternator and regulators but they are expensive. It is possible to convert a standard 12V alternator to produce 24V or even 48V with a special, external voltage regulator.

Does the spiffy curved beam get any support at the ends? In the US we call them posts.They transfer load to the hull. Or perhaps you could tab them into the vertical members? Good work with the track saw. Before you take the new trim out of the shop, cut the dado (housing or trench) using the table saw. It will be MUCH easier. It's the only easy way to make that cut on the arch pieces.
