I have asked Dave for pictures to post here and on the stationary engine forum, and with the Enstone bring and buy sale coming up next weekend, there is a chance that these might turn up there on someone's stall. I have posted a brief warning on the Forum as many members will be going to Enstone.

I caught up with a lot of people from all over Australia. It was great to put faces to names of people I had only spoken to on the phone or via email or forums. Sadly I did not have time to catch up with everyone, but there is always next time. The array of exhibits was amazing and just when I thought I had seen everything I would discover another shed or compound I had missed. I would not have minded staying another day but I had to get home to babysit a slightly unwell little engine man. This morning I left early and drove from Ballarat home to Sydney in 10 hours.

Have you totally ruled out pouring the bearing yourself? Craig Prucha did a series of BIG engine restoration videos that included details on pouring LARGE bearings. You may be able to purchase them on DVD from Coolspring. The Magnolia Metal Bearing Book is another awesome resource for anyone pouring their own bearings. http://www.metalwebnews.org/ftp/bearing-book.pdf Good luck. Be sure to take loads of pictures and post the results here.

He told us how we were months away from the big breakthrough. A guy in the audience said we were always just near the end - for the last 50 years. These future generating plants will have to be very large; they can't be made small like some of the nuke plants. That seems to me that we will need more and longer power lines that are forbidden here in California. I forgot to ask if the electricity will be laser delivered too, so we can solve that problem. They just finished a 3+ $Billion building and things are all ready to go. They couldn't give us any idea about how much was already spent to get to this stage; but they only need money for a while longer. (I'm guessing the money will last until they need some more; but I'm not a scientist, just a tax-payer.) A guy pointed out how Government dollars are well spent because we wouldn't have gotten this far without those tax dollars being plowed in. But the speaker said private industry was where they got the needed laser developments to be this far along. One of the industries was the hair removal industry.

More than one physicist says solar power generation is limited and will never drop enough in price to be worthwhile. The SanFran Bay Area may be the roof mounted solar capital of the world and some items brought up are: Most owners that can afford solar, even with subsidies, will never live long enough for the pay back, They usually find this out well after they buy. It seems that "pays for itself" means that the buyer pays and waits. Solar is heavy and roofs usually need reinforcement to support the weight. An architect pointed out - here in earthquake country - that a heavier roof would require stronger framing and anchors and bracing for seismic reinforcing. Nobody there knew if they did that.

You never know what price stuff like that will go for; that seller just happened to hit it on the right day it seems, when 6 or 7 people all happened to be looking at the same time! I have a Taylor Vacuum engine, and there's very little in the way of literature. There is one rare single-page folded pamphlet printed yellow/green, and in about 7 years of looking, I've found this one for sale only 3 times, once in person, and twice on eBay. In all cases it was between $35 and $38, way more than I wanted to spend for a single page flyer; like someone mentioned, I just wanted a copy of the info, not necessarily the historic pamphlet. Well, this summer, I stumbled on another one on eBay- I got it for only $6.20 !!! I guess nobody was looking for it when I bought it (end of May), maybe too busy working on their engines for the summer show season? -Rick I. http://www.oldengine.org/members/inzero/ From gop4evr at lsol.net Tue Nov 27 13:46:48 2012 From: gop4evr at lsol.net (Nelson Johnsrud) Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:46:48 -0600 Subject: [SEL] Auger?

I suppose that could be done, especially since in the place I work, part of the manufacturing process begins in the machines as a round blank cut from a spool of sheet stock. It would be a simple matter to acquire a few round blanks of an appropriate size. I'm actually building a finished cabinet in our rear entry as a bin for storage of the wood pellets we use for heating. Instead of a sliding door at the bottom to dump into the scuttle pail, I hit on the idea of using an auger, which has the advantage of halting the flow the moment you stop turning. I thought there would be less opportunity for a spill. If turning it with a crank is too time consuming or labor intensive, I have a small gear motor here that could be adapted for the purpose. I don't want to go all Willie Wonka on this though. A simple auger in a piece of PVC with a hand crank is simple enough, but a microprocessor controlled servo motor is probably above and beyond the call. ;-) And for Dave, we'll just call it my little "Manhattan Project." ;-) Nels Johnsrud Manitowoc WI gop4evr at lsol.net On Nov 27, 2012, at 9:18 PM, curt at rustyiron.com wrote: > > Nels, > Not sure what you'll be conveying, but if you don't find something ready > made, consider making your own.

A little patched up but still worked. The scrap buyer got it. Around these parts every major auction company has periodic consignment sales, some twice a year, some every couple of months. Seldom is there a sale without at least one auger on it.

Thanks Curt. I suppose that could be done, especially since in the place I work, part of the manufacturing process begins in the machines as a round blank cut from a spool of sheet stock. It would be a simple matter to acquire a few round blanks of an appropriate size. I'm actually building a finished cabinet in our rear entry as a bin for storage of the wood pellets we use for heating. Instead of a sliding door at the bottom to dump into the scuttle pail, I hit on the idea of using an auger, which has the advantage of halting the flow the moment you stop turning. I thought there would be less opportunity for a spill. If turning it with a crank is too time consuming or labor intensive, I have a small gear motor here that could be adapted for the purpose. I don't want to go all Willie Wonka on this though. A simple auger in a piece of PVC with a hand crank is simple enough, but a microprocessor controlled servo motor is probably above and beyond the call. ;-) And for Dave, we'll just call it my little "Manhattan Project." ;-) Nels Johnsrud Manitowoc WI gop4evr at lsol.net On Nov 27, 2012, at 9:18 PM, curt at rustyiron.com wrote: > > Nels, > Not sure what you'll be conveying, but if you don't find something > ready made, consider making your own.

He told us how we were months away from the big breakthrough. A guy in the audience said we were always just near the end - for the last 50 years. These future generating plants will have to be very large; they can't be made small like some of the nuke plants. That seems to me that we will need more and longer power lines that are forbidden here in California. I forgot to ask if the electricity will be laser delivered too, so we can solve that problem. They just finished a 3+ $Billion building and things are all ready to go. They couldn't give us any idea about how much was already spent to get to this stage; but they only need money for a while longer. (I'm guessing the money will last until they need some more; but I'm not a scientist, just a tax-payer.) A guy pointed out how Government dollars are well spent because we wouldn't have gotten this far without those tax dollars being plowed in. But the speaker said private industry was where they got the needed laser developments to be this far along. One of the industries was the hair removal industry. So someday you will hit the light switch and the fusion generated light will allow you to see your hairless mate without getting grossed out. Worth several $Billion. I guess.

More than one physicist says solar power generation is limited and will never drop enough in price to be worthwhile. The SanFran Bay Area may be the roof mounted solar capital of the world and some items brought up are: Most owners that can afford solar, even with subsidies, will never live long enough for the pay back, They usually find this out well after they buy. It seems that "pays for itself" means that the buyer pays and waits. Solar is heavy and roofs usually need reinforcement to support the weight. An architect pointed out - here in earthquake country - that a heavier roof would require stronger framing and anchors and bracing for seismic reinforcing. Nobody there knew if they did that.

You never know what price stuff like that will go for; that seller just happened to hit it on the right day it seems, when 6 or 7 people all happened to be looking at the same time! I have a Taylor Vacuum engine, and there's very little in the way of literature. There is one rare single-page folded pamphlet printed yellow/green, and in about 7 years of looking, I've found this one for sale only 3 times, once in person, and twice on eBay. In all cases it was between $35 and $38, way more than I wanted to spend for a single page flyer; like someone mentioned, I just wanted a copy of the info, not necessarily the historic pamphlet. Well, this summer, I stumbled on another one on eBay- I got it for only $6.20 !!! I guess nobody was looking for it when I bought it (end of May), maybe too busy working on their engines for the summer show season? -Rick I. http://www.oldengine.org/members/inzero/ From gop4evr at lsol.net Tue Nov 27 13:46:48 2012 From: gop4evr at lsol.net (Nelson Johnsrud) Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 15:46:48 -0600 Subject: [SEL] Auger?

A round bar or pipe and a hand full of doughnut rings of sheetmetal. Cut them 4" OD and the ID to match the round bar or pipe's OD. Then a single radial cut in each ring. Slide the rings on the bar or pipe and stretch axially. Tack weld. Then stretch the next and attach to the first, and so on. I was studying how the screw conveyor under our Pangborn shot blast machine at work was made, and this is the method they used. Wouldn't take much to just make the short auger you are after.

I suppose that could be done, especially since in the place I work, part of the manufacturing process begins in the machines as a round blank cut from a spool of sheet stock. It would be a simple matter to acquire a few round blanks of an appropriate size. I'm actually building a finished cabinet in our rear entry as a bin for storage of the wood pellets we use for heating. Instead of a sliding door at the bottom to dump into the scuttle pail, I hit on the idea of using an auger, which has the advantage of halting the flow the moment you stop turning. I thought there would be less opportunity for a spill. If turning it with a crank is too time consuming or labor intensive, I have a small gear motor here that could be adapted for the purpose. I don't want to go all Willie Wonka on this though. A simple auger in a piece of PVC with a hand crank is simple enough, but a microprocessor controlled servo motor is probably above and beyond the call. ;-) And for Dave, we'll just call it my little "Manhattan Project." ;-) Nels Johnsrud Manitowoc WI gop4evr at lsol.net On Nov 27, 2012, at 9:18 PM, curt at rustyiron.com wrote: > > Nels, > Not sure what you'll be conveying, but if you don't find something ready > made, consider making your own.

You'd have the whole works, including drive mechanism, all worked out that way. We just sold a longer version, an 8 incher and on wheels that would reach bins, at a family estate sale. A little patched up but still worked. The scrap buyer got it. Around these parts every major auction company has periodic consignment sales, some twice a year, some every couple of months. Seldom is there a sale without at least one auger on it.
