Oh yea, I should also mention that I'm overcompensating with weight jack operation in opposition to body roll in order to gain camber to try and offset tire distortion from lateral load..... and if you lift it, you can lower it,so the end result I'm finding in my prototype testing is I'm...

Ok,here we go again..I'm semi bed-ridden due to a sore back, so the delay in responses should be understandable..after looking at the Bose system, it appears to me to be an electro magnetic Macpherson style system. My idea is laid out in a different configuration than this..however,if I used a...

A good example of what I'm trying to accomplish is the Koenigsegg supercar freevalve system, in essence their design took the fixed values of camshaft duration and overlap etc. and made them widely adjustable with a relatively simple mechanical system and computer control..because the...

I'm not trying to step on any toes here, just trying to learn for myself with a 'can do' attitude...in the past, I've had success with original thinking...eg in 1979 while crewing for an oval track dirt stock car, I managed to obtain a reverse rotation GM marine 350 in need of a rebuild..I used...

As well, the next step in development is aero..I've got a crude undertray made of aluminum sheet that's attached to the spindles with short nylon straps to maintain a constant height above road surface,and am adding a small centrifugal blower presently driven by an electric motor in an attempt...

I'm changing linkage ratio to the coilover shock by moving the fulcrum point of the lever compressing it with a hydraulic cylinder perpindicular to the load path.Most suspensions (eg air ride truck systems) increase spring rate without changing damping rates...I sized the coilover units for...

Kind of ,however I'm trying to reduce the need for a computer system to a minimum. I'm presently building a type of gocart utilizing a dirtbike engine...sofar in development I've been able to come up with a way to left foot clutch and shift while right foot simultaneous throttle and brake...

If a suspension system is analyzed in the context of electrical design, I use the following method. The input signal characteristics are 4 channels representing the vertical load present at each wheel. The signal formed is a varying dc signal superimposed with a sine wave representing...

I'll post a suspension design concept in that section for analysis and critique, please fell free to comment..

Still needs more clarification...wouldn't you look at how everybody achieves flight if you want to fly much further up than anyone? Even to the point of rising completely above the atmosphere? and if your aircraft ends up being totally unlike anything that came before, where did all the ideas...

Ok Ok, perhaps a poor analogy....being Canadian with most of our population huddled along our southern border, we tend to pay attention to what our nearest neighbour is up to..at the age of 4, I saw the most beautiful supermodel ever in one of my Dad's magazines...she was blue and orange with a...

It's a double negative = positive answer that wakes people up and makes them think....and the NASA reference is simply that their design strategy was strictly function over form, and every problem they faced was approached was unique when they were doing the moon thing around the era of the gt40...

Hello to everyone..I've finally decided to crawl out from the garage and sit down long enough to finally join! I've been elbows deep into literally everything there is with an engine, and I've been called a 'walking automotive encyclopedia'. I'm presently working as a heavy truck and equipment...
