bottle test,wasting time??
« on: July 28, 2015, 08:51:26 AM »
Thinking about a cheap low presure air tank. pic here is of a 2 litre drink bottle pumped up with hydraulic pump set up. bottle filled with water the only air is in the tube feeding the gauge, so while there might be lots of pressure there is no volume, therefore little danger. Bottle blew at 110 psi plus. the bottle swallowed more than 120ml as it expanded. The pump set up came from a testing program for sub miniature steam boilers, 2" dia mostly, Went over 1000psi. Only 1/4" ram, tried 3/8" to find it too hard.

I think I follow the experiment.
Where does the drink bottle go on an ST?

Ah yes!  I hadn't thought of fitting that farkle.       :think1

It will immediately appeal to Wildrose.

You would barely get a peep out of the horn, not enough volume.

Use an old fire extinguisher  :thumbs  They come in various sizes.

Some 4WD people use them and have them attached to the chassis rails.
At my age " getting lucky" is remembering what I came in the room for ;)
