Old thread I know, but thought I'd throw it in...

That spring holds a lot of energy!

I proved to myself that the system worked, but, because of binding between shafts I never got a working model.  My guess without binding, 6 to 10 feet on concrete.  I have left it on Shapeways as a working frame model with no engine.  I am playing with the detail printers now and they are very cool.  In the next few weeks I am going to print a hub and wheel assembly for the Atom at 1:24 to test some theories and to test material strength

Why am I not surprised.....that I got an answer to my question...... I mean who wouldn't do the calcs..

I want to know how far this baby goes on that big spring and flywheel propulsion system you've got going on 

It's all part of the Obama give time to business owners program.

Norm, I thought I had too much time on my hands...........what on earth are you up too!!!!!!!

Have you had a checkupfromtheneckup recently

I was going to go with a Atomhenge theme for this year, but, I don't like the way it was heading.  I am dropping the project.  I did get as far as mathematically placing the standing stones in the ring and the lintels on them.  It is fairly obvious that I would have to place the fallen stones and the center stuff, ... and the file is just getting too big to be manageable for a laugh.

OK, this is 100% digital.  The 1/24th scale model in environments.
