A quick video showing the AutoDrill product on a positioning system. Similar to TigerStop except the drill is moving… The drill is mounted onto a Kentucky Gauge system (Hymark) The controls are by Kentucky Gauge. Custom designed for your actual drilling, tapping, reaming, etc. application. Multiple spindle head units available too. www.Drill-N-Tap.com http www.AutoDrill.com http www.Drilling-Heads.com http www.Drill-Unit.com http www.MultiSpindle-Drill-Heads.com http Production-Tapping-Equipment.com 800-871-5022 01.908.542.0244
History note: The Tesla Turbine is a simple device invented and patented by Nikola Tesla that uses flat plates instead of buckets or vanes on the rotors. The flat plates use the principles of adhesion and viscosity in order to turn the shaft. The advantages being simplicity of design, very low horsepower to weight ratio, cheap to manufacture, and durability at high RPMs. It’s so simple of a design that a lot of people (not everyone) with some everyday tools like a lathe and drill press can make one themselves. What amazes me about the Tesla Turbine is that Tesla saw this as his GREATEST invention. And as you know, every time you flip a light switch, you are using several of Tesla’s inventions. I believe that the Tesla Turbine got overshadowed by the internal combustion engine at a time when billions had already been spent on the IC engine for use in automobiles and airplanes. . A good presentation although basic on this turbine’s principle of operation: video.google.ca . Outside a more casual discussion: video.google.ca . 5 disks plus 1 backing 1-way no vent side disk (HDD) output shaft side stays dry 85-95% estimate, an o-ring could be seated in a milled groove between two lexan or alloy small outer covers quite easily. www.britgaskets.ca . Stainless shafts as well as disks available this week. . This teslajet turbine could be mounted with 1/4″ screws, the vibration is nearly non-existant. I machined stainless shafts today and the bearing to shaft fit has to be spot on …
A Stirling motor that can grow with you, the base kit and extra pattern parts for modifications is the goal. I am really excited about getting a coil generator running off magnets pressfit in flywheel face, hopefully the coils will advance towards magnets by hand after motor has spun up to speed. I began assembling the parts list for the machinist/homemetal worker, science class kit. This will be the raw ingredients to make the 3.25″ nexus stirling motor, builders will require the use of a lathe and some optional milling ability as well as a drill press to finish bolt holes. All the stacked components come pre-waterjet cut with an exact bore when stacked with power piston hole and displacer and tower small holes. Plans and tips. 5/8″ thick composite seperating flange, this is the key to how this compact stirling works and with a super light solid displacer the performance is that of more complex versions. 1″ plus of .0005 displacer rod sealing and bushing. No ice required on top, water resivoir can be filled without leakage risk and indicates 200f when boiling. The engine’s heat diferences allow running when unit exceeds 200f surface temp as with 1hr plus run times. High heat sealant for displacer assembly. Bearings, finished brass bore, graphite stock, high strength stainless 3-32 allen bolts with nylock nuts for top capable of sealing and prevention of warping. Carbon fiber/NBR heat sheild disk and zero-grav glass foam displacer disks as well as fitted displacer rod and …
Many thanks to Matthias Wandel woodgears.ca for his prior work – these two gears represent about 45 minutes to an hour in the shop last night. I don’t yet know what I’ll use them for… toys for the kids (toys for me?)… but it sure opens up the possibilities for future projects! Printed on a laserjet, glued to the plywood using 3M spray adhesive, cut on a bandsaw, center hole bored on the drill press. Large gear is 24 teeth, small one is 8 teeth. Plywood is 1/2″ Baltic Birch leftover from other projects. Large gear overall diameter is about 7″, small one is about 2.75″ diameter.
This Video is Part 2 of 2. This is a Wood-Lathe exercise and instructional video showing how to safely use several of the basic cutting tools. See how each tool is used to create the cuts they were designed for.
