Hydrogen torches work, there is just an explosion/leak risk, and the amount of gas made for the amount of electricity pretty well limits you to micro-torches. But I hear it's the cat patootie for brazing jewelry.

They are in for a bigger surprise than they think if they try to run ANY vaporized fuel in an LDS/LDT. If they get any real Hydrogen production anyway. (Which is questionable) The detonation should be quite an eye opener. I doubt they have noticed what they are doing to the cylinders in the...

If this is going to be a regular thing, just build a solar still. You could even run a solar pump to circulate the WMO/WVO through the system. the only difference between it and any solar water still is, the water you produce is your "waste" and the "Waste" is your de-watered "product." So you...

I was toying with the thought of a ram and an orbital valve timed to the steering gear and run off a spur gear/chain/other linkage. Stock gearbox in place, but the ram would take the load as long as it was functional. I decided the HF54 was cheaper and less complicated...

You know, a full-on SteelSoldiers rally filmed from a 1/4 scale "Sandy" Skyraider, F-4 or UH-1 would be very interesting. That VR pilot system is AMAZING. :drool:

You do some really nice work. I never made it into 1/4 scale. But I always heard the bigger they are, the nicer they fly. As for the Nobler, I built a Junior Nobler for 4H when I was a kid, and the kit was old then. (That was the late 1980's) and I picked up a Nobler Sr kit at a swap meet in...

He broke the outer main spar at the nacelle on the landing bounce. As rough as that was, it's a testament to the builder it didn't fall apart. This makes me want to go build that Nobeler kit I have been hording since I was 12...

Even for those of us here every day... it's easy to forget to say Thank You to those who keep this place up and running. Thanks guys.:beer:

I saw FiFi last year and it was a huge treat. The most shocking sighting for me was a J-Star at BTL in lowly Michigan. I was in a company truck going out to see a customer and it was a low overcast day. All of a sudden I see that big bird with the unmistakable pod on the bottom drop from the...

You are looking for "parallelogram wipers"... http://rometruckparts.com/catalogs/RTP%20Trico%20Parts%20Book.pdf Try the J82126... I hope this helps.

No hard feelings man. We're trying to look out for you. There are some folks out there selling these things covered in rattle-can chrome and hacked up for $30k+ ... ...and mud boggers who have never checked the oil or wheel bearings and think "all diesels knock, why bother?"... after they...

The hydro legality/safety has been beat to death..even just in this thread. That drag link can be made from 2 tie rods and a link as well and be legal. (as well as adjustable) Jesusgatos, love the engineering, but I think you're taking the long way around for no real benefit on the steering...

Agreed, this sounds like a beat down nightmare at best. Scrap value. Right now that's $1500 give or take for the weight of a chopped up bobber. Good trucks can be had for $4000 all day long. Minus the other axle they bobbed... -$400 Minus the missing parts, fenders, etc.... -$1000 Minus...

Looks like I have some planning/construction to do. I wasn't actually looking to do the waste oil thing, but this stuff just fell in my lap. (maybe)

That's why I'm asking. I was wondering if it was worth saving for the Deuce, or too much trouble to mess with. I'm not excited about the ethanol, but I figured the old gasoline would cut waste oil nicely, and the old diesel could be treated and filtered (I think they call it polishing?) by...

This won't have to see a highway. I can make the whole trip on back roads as it's only about 20 miles from the homestead. Honestly, it's a one time run and the IBC container is as strong as any "legal" plastic gas can. While I would love to find a better way to be 100% safe from some ticket...

Damaged paint at Home Depot runs $7 a gallon... and if you ask nicely they will re-tint it for you. So, if you have a paint job in the future, you might consider keeping your eyes peeled for the discount shelf this spring. (As long as you don't mind a color that is not perfect) So far a have...

The gasoline smells like 5 year old gasoline.... varnish supreme. I was in the test cell and only was able to whiff what came out of the line, but it was borderline nasty. I'm thinking it's either pre-ethanol, or the ethanol has precipitated out of solution. If I get the greenlight I'll give...

Anyone there sell tires at the swap meet? Known vendors, I mean.

I had a conversation this afternoon with a man looking to get rid of old fuels... he's checking with his boss to give me the green light, but there is between 350-1000 gallons of gasoline, diesel, oil, and alcohol. All of it at least 6 years old.(separate tanks) I have the M35a2... but what...
