Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] MBT Venting Options
Vance,
You're welcome to speak, but a white paper (with diagrams and
illustrations) or photo journal would work best for getting the info out
to the masses. Using your camera to document each step in construction
would be best.
Is your design similar to automotive engine valves where they seal at
the top? Or is the seal on the internal side of the MBT? It seems like
the spring compression value for keeping the valve closed will be
important. Am I correct that generally, you'd want a standing spring
force equal to or exceeding the psi at maximum depth reached? How did
you calculate the strength of the spring you need for the valve?
Jon
I'll have all that stuff ready before the convention, so maybe I can
get a little ten minute talk stuck in there on how to build these
things. It's a home shop item. In fact, I guess a hacksaw and a drill
would be enough, if you weren't interested in pretty. I wish we were
sitting around a coffee table, because two minutes with a pencil and a
napkin, and you guys would know exactly what I was talking about. I do
have a new computer with a scanner and a new camera with a cable, so
I'll snap some shots of the valves being built. We ought to be done
here shortly, depending on when the cylinders get here. FedEx is
pretty loaded down these days, but I'll post it soonest, whenever
soonest happens to be. Soon, anyway.
