First, let me apologize for my long absence. I had some paying work come in and I had to concentrate on it. Second, for those who missed it, I am making jackets and supports of the SC core from 5083-O aluminum, now, not stainless. This grade of aluminum gains strength as the temperature drops and it...

I have a concern with the possible turbulence in the coolant. How fast is the LHe supposed to be pumped through this? Lots of sharp edges to form vorticies with... With good reason. While turbulence helps a great deal with heat exchange, it also causes an increase in head at the pumps. There are al...

Your planning on wire EDM, right. You have to remember to take temperature compensation effects into account. Also plan for some kind of pressure relief in the system in case the N2 boils(not a good thing.) This is basically my best guess based on what I know. Right now I don't know if we'll be ins...

Oh, I miss the show, but I am not surprised that it was canceled. The plot and theme of the story ran contrary to the song and dance of both "liberals" and "conservatives". What I found intriguing about this schematic is that it is not for the Firefly Class freighter used in the show and movie. This...

They claim that this thing will not produce any radioactive waste, but I cannot see how that would be possible.

Changed the material to Aluminum 5083-O. This called for thicker ribs and spars. Finally figured out an efficient way to make meshes with holes in Blender. Let's see, I have twelve pieces left to do and some modifications to two of the pieces shown in this picture. Also, I finally doped out a assemb...

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it. Thomas Jefferson == As to names. Simon is my real name. M. is my first initial. You can find out what it stands for. Because the truth is out there. But I'm not going to tell. S...
