For extra credit calculate the mechanical advantage of the bottle jack on the crescent wrench.
@AMStationEngineer5 жыл бұрын
The most novel use of a bottle jack that I've ever seen :-D Around thirty years back, a fellow industrial engineer at Boeing retired after concluding his work on the design of the ultrasonic fuel sensors for what would soon become the much beloved Boeing 777- 200; and the world's very first ultrasonic fuel quantity measurement system on a commercial aircraft. Almost three years later, he built a "high performance version of the Volvo 940-GLE". Bill's definition of "high performance" was to 'pull the craphouse quality original Volvo engine out, grab a 302 out of a 'rear end damaged/total loss 1992 Mustang' add a "stealth blower", from what I believe to have been a failed prototype gasoline fueled aircraft engine built in Canada. He also scratch-built his own suspension and steering system [based on the Mustang II steering rack]. It was during this time, that he became tired of costs associated with his Safety Kleen parts washer, and designed an automatic ultrasonic heated solvent parts washer, which worked in similar fashion to a dishwasher. The solvent in his parts washer was constantly filtered and 'pristinely clean'. The washer cycled until the solvent generated from the wash retained less than 5% contamination levels. His estate sold the patent, patents - actually, and that very same washer sits in my northern PA garage storage area, unused since the Bush Administration left office. That washer would have worked wonders with your Silversides efforts of today. Bill's design never made it into production. I'm guessing that it became a legend similar to the 100-mpg carburetor of the "Disco Era".

@stanpatterson50335 жыл бұрын
Don't know the spec on today's modern compressors, but the older ones were designed to pass about 7cc of oil per operating hour. If you have a properly functioning air dryer, the air dryer will catch and remove that oil (along with water), but if the air system relies on an alcohol evaporator to keep moisture from building up, that won't deal with excess oil being passed. And the tank drains, well not ALL of the contaminants make it all the way to the wet tank.
@kevinoscarson29415 жыл бұрын
Stan, I would be curious if that bus even has a dryer. However you are correct the older compressors passed oil.
