Tesla list, (anyone else addressed too as well)
Heres the latest update on the new SRSG. I figure at least I can
get some criticism on the design. Its been one hell of an engineering
process!!! Including both Solid Works time and machine shop time I'd
say we (three of us) have logged a total of 27 hours on this gap.
Hopefully we'll get some awesome results here soon. This gap has been
designed to be used in any kind of power setting. We're going for as
small and compact as we can, but still an efficient design. You can
see in the pics (provided below) that the motor is adjustable in its
mount, thanks to the efforts and confirming theories of everyone here
on the list. Some of the parts have already been brought to life. Its
so amazing to see your hard work go from a CAD drawing on a computer
screen to being milled out by the CNC machine. The base plate/motor
mounts and octagonal electrodes are all made of the same aluminum
material. The base/mounts have just been sandblasted and are waiting
for their paint job.Should be finishing everything up next Sunday. Now
that the final revisions of the Solid Works drawings are done (about 7
hours of todays labor) next time we just have to program it all in to
the CNC machines. Still have to machine the G10 disc (Green) (Very
scary... Has anyone out there ever machined G10 on a CNC???), all the
tungsten electrodes (Orange), the motor flange (Deep Blue), the
conducting ring to connect the electrodes (Yellow), then we need to
rework and tap the stationary electrodes and insulators (Red and
Yellow). All in all, the hardest stuff is done. Thanks for looking!
(Thanks for motor Chip!)
