Cool Stuff

Home Puzzling Drinking

This page is dedicated to off the wall stuff that I consider to be quite cool!

A good friend of mine races Radio Controlled Buggies and I got talking to him

about measuring the power output of his Nitro engines. A few weeks later I

went down to Kent and delivered an RC Engine Dyno! It connects to a PC and

I wrote some software to produce Power and Torque curves. Its pretty crude

and needs more development, but early testing shows it will work!

Some work colleagues got together last year to recreate a first flight ceremony.

The results were quite spectacular and can bee seen in the video below.

It is quite big, but I am sure you will find it worthwhile!
