RE: Id rather be BLOWN!!
Ya' I know.... but I can only do what I have the capabilities
to do. This is not a serious project and no claims have been
made. I was more inspired by all the comments on how it
would never work. One thing though, it is a straight vane
rotor design, but the rotors are very aggressive and on top
of that I plan on them spinning upwards of 70,000. I will
probably use the delrin with an aluminum hub for the gears.
I thought about it today and I can test it with just rotor shafts
and no rotors in case anything goes wrong. I figure if it holds
together using a dremel for power and the intended pulley's
it should be OK. Would like to use an 1/8" wide cog belt.
Can anyone point me in that direction? Blower shaft is 5 mm.
About the straight cut gears, Man I hope they're loud!!
P.S. Wife wants a digital video camera for Christmas. Think Ill
go and by me..... I mean HER one and get some video of this
thing to post
