thanks timeeh,
wow, where have the last 45 years gone ??????
i still feel like i'm about 20yo, lol
i have been working out the back this morning, just came in for lunch now.
i've taken the new expansion chamber off the PW50 and linished the welds back smooth, not that you can see much of it, and got the first coat of high temp black on.
and yesterday i started building my backyard motorcycle dyno,
so far i have the Dyno frame half sussed, and have made a sealed roller bearing, 120mm wide, 2.5" diameter rear whee/tyre roller.
i need to buy 10x big Neodymium (Rare Earth) magnets next.
i am making i so i can vary the load on the rear wheel to simulate different riding conditions, eg going up a hill etc
the adjustment to vary the rolling resistance,
will be controlled via a remote lever connected to the adjustable load regulator by a cable, this will control the amount of magnetic resistance.
sounds way more complicated than it is, lol, but it is fun, fun, fun !
