What is your favourite MT drawing and why?

[justsomeone]

Walter, I once hired an employee and the first week he told me he had to take off a few hours because he had an appointment with his PO.
At the time I didn't know what a PO was. :) I wish I knew before I hired him.

What is your favorite MT drawing and why?


Mine would be MT-- , MT-- AND MT-- because they include everything you need to build a working wheel.

Hello Just,

No matter where you are, there you are.

I am an asset. If the government would get off my ass I'd be able to accomplish more.

Did you know I pay more than just wasting my time with my PO? I have to give that bastard cash also.

I am a convicted felon. I engage in petty larceny to pay that son of a bitch. :)

I do have better things to do with my time.

MT 87 and a few others because they remind me that when you push a half full glass (half full water/half air) dead vertical into a container of liquid, the liquid in container rises, as it will, but the volume of water in glass diminishes because the air compresses it.

axually i laughed about it for days after

i hired a guy one time

he worked three days and told me he had to have a raise

i explained to him he was hired as a trainee and did not know squat about the job he was supposed to be learning to do and there fore just dead weight cost to me

i also explained to him i was not in the habit of giving raises after three days on the job

he informed me that if he did not get a raise he was going to quit and go to work at general dynamics

i said that's fine with me do you need a ride out to gd

he said no their not hiring right now


end of story


i couldn't stop laughing for the better part of an hour

actually i laughed about it off and on for days





back to the question

i like the ones that show how his wheel worked

pordon me for not listing the numbers

mt 135 / 137 why ?......................i don't know

[WaltzCee]

Hello Jupiter,

The geometry of 137 fascinates me. I'm not ready to say why. Keep looking at it though. It's very fascinating.

I have no opinion about 135.

Hi,

Did you all know that MT 114 is a Buoyancy wheel with Buoyancy operated levers as I have not seen any mention of it, but then again I have not looked!

I like this one because I had just spent four years working on buoyancy and fluid weight shifts when I saw it, You can understand people getting sucked in with these concepts not Knowing off the large force that is required to open and close these reservoirs, with that said with todays technology there is still a potential there! but for me I would put all that leverage into a direct drive system!

This my last post here on this thread! so if you have any thoughts on the MT drawings Please take them to Various MT Thoughts at Community Buzz!

Me and FunwithGravity do not get on! so it greaves me to say that he is doing a good Job with that thread!

Regards Trevor

I am re-opening this for the sake of discussion. I am really curious about Besslers discussion of MT028.

...Thus the thrust upon the edge of the wheel should be much stronger that the force which the arms on the axle require. The rest is left to speculation...

Study the drawing carefully and read carefully. Would that indicate positive, repeatable rotation? I did a search and have not found discussion on MT028 before.

Anyone care to speculate?

Trevor, still not an easy question!
Up to now I couldn't find a favorite... 8(
Most of designs that present a possible 3D set are what I like and where I can smell some working possibility! 8:
Best!

Hi Dave,
I took a quick look at MT 28, it is a leverage disaster! It takes 9 tooth movements for the reset, with nothing to drive it, and 1 tooth movement put back into to drive the wheel, I only did a quick measurement though!
Edit, 9 tooth movement is distance of wheel travel in comparison
Regards Trevor

Hi Murilo,
I have not got round to uploading your design on my web site yet, I have been busy with some new and old designs, if they are any good I will show you them. I get very little time building now as my job has to come first to pay my bills, and to save up for some video soft ware and parts, the ideas just keep on coming. I have some interesting video waiting for you tube now!

Hope you are in good health Bros, and send my love to Mum! With respect Trevor

[murilo]

Trevor,
don't be worry so much!
One need to learn to walk alone.
Thanx!
Are you coming for our carnaval? 8)))
TC!

[Trevor Lyn Whatford]

Hi Murilo,

I would love to! but I will be spending every bit of money I can to build as many wheels as I can this year!

Its make or break year for me! I just want closure now "win or lose" then I can get back to my sail and board designs.

All the best bros, with much respect Trevor

What is Toy Page?
My favorite is MT 138

[jim_mich]

MT 138 is sometimes called the toys page because it contains toys.
