Had a series of power bumps here at the house over the weekend that messed with my computers, like the main Team.Net server. That old Dell had been rock solid reliable, with an uptime of over 425 days. Oh well. Of course my computer troubles are nothing at all compared to the tornado havoc over the weekend. Hopefully no listers were seriously affected. I still remember what damage can be done by twisters from my years in the Midwest. When I did get the machines back up and running again a few things didn't quite work out, some software failed to start as it should. So you may have noticed no Team.Net email for a while. I was at work all day so I didn't notice until this evening. Sorry. We should be back in business now, though. Perhaps last week when I posted about 20 years of Team.Net I should have put in a pitch for some donations to acquire some newer, more stable hardware ( bigger UPS ) and some upgraded software. I certainly did recieve some donations, will hopefully get around to thanking folks in a day or two. So if you have a few bucks laying around and feel like helping to keep this Team.Net experiment around for another 20 years, feel free to visit http://www.team.net/donate.html - wait, I better update that file, the FAX machine is printing blank faxes, another bit of hardware I'll likely have to replace. Computers can be so much fun. Anyway, Team.Net email, forums and web pages should all be back to mostly normal, thank you for your patience. mjb.

Just in case I ever race in corn syrup. One thing I didn't actually see was what the spacing betwen the two cylinders was. And where in relation to each other in a radial direction the colors was placed. That would indicate whether mixing was actually taking place or not or we were just viewing it through the three different layers making it look like it was mixed. Also, this works because the corn syrup is very thick so no turbulent flow exists to mix in all directions. And you are not really reversing laminar flow, I think entropy is not conserved in that the exact smooth colors were not recovered. The slight distortion is that result, maybe. Interesting though. mayf On 4/19/2011 12:40 PM, jgmagoo at comcast.net wrote: > Since some of you whiz kids in the LSR community sometimes talk about 'laminar > flow', I thought some of you might find this interesting. > > > http://www.wimp.com/reversedlaminar/ > > > I have no idea how this might apply to Land Speed Racing...... but who knows, > B maybe some of you may find an application. > > > > JG > _______________________________________________ > Land-speed at autox.team.net > Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html > Archive: http://www.team.net/archive > Forums: http://www.team.net/forums > Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/land-speed/drmayf at mayfco.com From yesford at clear.net.nz Tue Apr 19 16:57:24 2011 From: yesford at clear.net.nz (Chris R Harris) Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 10:57:24 +1200 Subject: [Land-speed] Laminar Flow & Reverse Laminar Flow>From>JG Magoo In-Reply-To: <4DADF27D.5040507@mayfco.com> References: <826608196.2967623.1303242056692.JavaMail.root@sz0086a.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net> <4DADF27D.5040507@mayfco.com> Message-ID: <310011F8C64C4F9084C1D9DE1B6F3A96@HarrisPC> I have no idea how this might apply to Land Speed Racing...... but who knows, B maybe some of you may find an application.

After reading/seeing this, I thought for sure Mayf would have some practical application derived from this. But alas, more questions. My take is substituting the inner cylinder for the LSR vehicle skin, the corn syrup colored dots for wool tufts, clear syrup for surface air, and the outside cylinder for the encountering laminar resistance, I find no LSR app here. I'd like to, and there might be, but. And I'd rather see corn go to syrup than Ethanol. Chris, is corn syrup why you have sticky wickets ?

Don made a flattened cylindrical rocket chamber and an attached nozzle out of clear plexiglass and used water to simulate gaseous hydrogen. He then injected food coloring (representing gaseous fissile material) into the central core of the swirling water. The glob of food coloring stayed firmly in place, no mixing, no tendrils at all, and none of the food coloring leaked out thru the nozzle. Even old Burridge Jennings was impressed.

One is that they were talking about impacts and then using a compression test rig to measure deformation of the shock absorber inside. Actually it looked like a sink sponge they were testing. Second ting is they gave no specs as to what the Military actually ordered or what this was being compared against. Also, I saw no testing being carried out on real hardware. Instead they use a computer model to show how it could be better. I would be far happier if they showed actual impact testing on the helmet to determine the G levels and deformations inside. As to use in our sport? An d I am pretty sure that out helmets do go through impact testing to determine that it meets what the SFI spec says. If you are worried that your brain bucket wont hold up, heck just put on a second head sock as that would just about equal the 1/8 inch extra padding they said would do the trick. As to filling it with corn syrup and hitting your head backwards against the roll bar, no I am afraid that just makes the corn syrup act like a magneto fluid and it becomes instantly solid, thusly protecting the helmet by spattering your brain. And And hitting it backwards might cause a time warp in the space time continuum. You might go into a wormy hole. mayf On 4/20/2011 6:18 PM, BWANA343 at aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 4/20/2011 8:51:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > saltfever at comcast.net writes: > > Different environments require different solutions.
