Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Kort nozzles

Thanks Jim,
I hadn't seen that site. The exterior of the kort nozzle in the first diagram is very "bucket shaped"
I don't think I ended up too far off the mark.
Regards Alan

Cool!  Would love to see a write-up and pics on the whole process once you finish.  I've wondered how I'm going to do that, but I'm far enough away from that point that I haven't even tried to figure it out.
 
Here's a page you might already have on Kort and Rice nozzles:
 
 
Best regards,
Jim

Hi Jim,
It's based on a proper nozzle design in that it resembles the drawing you sent.
However the range of suitable buckets for sale has dictated the final outcome.
I fiberglassed a sleeve over the bucket, then thickened & shaped the interior of the inlet end.
I'm now fiberglassing sleeves over my motors & will attach the kort nozzles to them.
Regards Alan

Alan,
 
Tell us a little more about your nozzles.  Are you constructing true Kort Nozzles with an airfoil type cross section or are you constructing prop shrouds (ducts) with walls of consistent thickness?

Thanks,

Vance,
Most probably busy.
I've been doing my kort nozzles lately. This involved going round the shops with my
propeller in a plastic bag & fitting it in to various buckets to find one suitable  to mold around.
Maybe it's not the Aliens, maybe it's the men in white coats.

Okay, Alan. Maybe I don't have a problem after all. Mind you, quiet from this bunch might be construed two ways. Ominous, as in did the aliens come get everybody, or busy, as in we aren't talking, we're working. On subs, one hopes.
Vance

Vance,
I haven't had any sub emails since 18th. Might just have gone quiet.

Jon,
Send me something on email, would you? I think some dirt bag has blocked some stuff on my AOL account in an effort to get me to fill out a really professional looking document which includes any and all personal information (including passwords and SSN). AOL doesn't ask for that stuff, and I wouldn't give it, of course. Meanwhile, I'm getting nothing for psubs or the enemy camp, and I don't know what else. Some gets through. Some doesn't. It seems to be the AOL thing, as the same thing happens on my iphone and Mac. Damn it. If you don't hear back from me this afternoon, I guess we'll have to figure something else out.
Vance
