Construction tail with double attack
« on: April 11, 2007, 11:51:31 AM »
The images represent the several ones are made of working of the hinge of the tail with double attack. I task that this solution is sturdier and stable.

I presume by "double attack" you mean "double hinges" or "double hinge attachments".  Yes, two are much sturdier than one.


I notice that you've built the tail travel stops as cutaways in the hinges.  Others claim to have had success with this.  But I think that it is hazardous:  You have an NORMOUS lever arm with feet of tail working against a stop maybe an inch from the center of the pivot axis.


I think it's better to do the stop by putting a bumper on the back of the generator - a foot or two, rather than an inch or so, from the axis.  (You can use an energy-absorbing rubber, such as a bumper intended for an automobile suspension, to reduce impact shock and rebound, too.)


Whatever you do, be sure you design your stops so the momentum doesn't tend to lift the tail off the hinge when it hits the stop, or arrange some additional stop to keep the tail from coming off the pivot.

In the photos they are not looked at but there are of reinforces to the stop.

Hour I will experience it, however yours optimal idea is one.

Nice location.


Also nice for wind power.  I bet you have strong onshore winds most afternoons and decent offshore winds before sunrise most mornings.


The lake effect, using the Mediterranean Sea for the "lake" and Europe for the "land" should be almost as powerful as the one through Altamont Pass in California, where the "lake" is the Pacific Ocean and the "land" is California's Central Valley (boosted somewhat by the Nevada high desert and the Great Plains.)
