Please Locf, dont spoil the dinner party by getting in a huff.
This is the place to post pictures and explanations about ones work, talking is one thing but reveling ones recipes and the failures and successes are what we meet here for.
You don't need to tell us how good a cook you are, if your baking is good and your recipe makes sense and is understandable people will love you for it.
Jan, I hope to have the cylinder with the coated duct in my hands tomorrow.
I will dyno this immediately and publish an actual dyno curve of the before and after result.
But I wont import the data into Excel ( where its easy to manipulate ) i will simply publish the real data.
I have said this before and I will say it again,anything Luc has to say on here is a complete waste of his and our time.
No one believes, no one cares - bugger off Luc and dont come back until we see a REAL dyno result that in some way goes toward
the original Ryger proclamation of 70 Hp - 30,000 rpm.
Frits gave us all some real hope that the system was a new,viable, 2T advancement.
All we have had since he pulled the plug on his involvement ( wonder why ), is a pile of nonsense and self justification that hasn't even come close to being accepted here.
Ive got a thing thats unique and new.To prove it I'll have the last laugh on you.Cause instead of one head I got two.And you know two heads are better than one.
At last I've got all measurements of the ports in place! It's amazing how much time you need to get all angles and area in place.Thank you Frits for the amazing library of pictures and drawings you posted on the RSA and RSW over the years.

Yes, you can plate a laser sintered cylinder if you can plate the aluminium it is made of. From memory, the material which almost every company offering this service has on their portfolio can be plated. For a 26cc cylinder this might have even become affordable in the meantime (what you have to pay is mostly linear to the weight of the part).
As I've never seen any real world dyno graph of a "symmetric 2-stroke", be it FST, FOS, Rotax, Ken or Neils engine or any other (please let me know if I missed something), would you show us the comparison from the simulation?
Ok, serous question, in the olden days some manufactures (CZ) ran twin exhaust ports. I imagine to help cool the center bridge on the twin exhaust ports.
Looking at a modern bridged port, the gas flow out near the edge of the port can't be that good.
If a modern take on the old twin port, each port angling away from each other (say 30 degrees) would that not help increase ultimate gas flow on blow down?
More cooled (water cooled, right up to the bridge) exhaust port surface available to help cool the over flow charge.
Would two chambers be better pumping action than one larger one? I realise there is only so much energy available from the exhaust gas (you can't get something from nothing) but maybe two smaller chambers may be better?
Building a new cylinder and can't make up my mind on what exhaust configuration.
How this thread continues to get my pictures upside down I have no idea.....

Parts for the 9mm Piezo electric sensor.
Basically its a Piezo disk sitting in a recess in the plastic button and held in place by being covered with silicon glue.
The face of the disk is not glued, only the back is covered in glue. Replacing the disk is very straight forward, just scrape the old one off and glue a new one on. The disks are cheap as chips.
To get a coherent signal and eliminate some noise I am going to try a small bridge rectifier.
The 0.7V forward voltage drop across the rectifier should block a lot of low level ripple and leave me with a decently shaped pulse to work with. Well we will see how that goes. Here is hoping ....![]()
Do you have access to a data logger a tinytalk or similar (i guess you use tinytalks for work?)
there are pretty cheap ie sub $100 bluetooth voltage loggers about now.
I think it would be a good idea to log some laps with one just to see if it gives a consistant result and then you can set a base line for the signals.

Kinky is using a feather. Perverted is using the whole chicken
Well that didn't work very well, only the most determined spikes got through. Maybe try again and amplify the original signal before running it through a bridge with the amp clipping the bigger signals to a max of 5 Volts for the Aduino digital input.
A small data logger, great idea. We use 4-20's at work, I will have to see if I can find a Voltage logger. Probable not ready for it yet as I don't have a decent signal, but it certainly makes sense. The loggers we use, typically multi channel and certified and run $2000+ so some pointers where to source something more affordable would be great.
If the volt drop across one diode is about 0.6V, then surely the drop through a bridge must be 1.2v? Maybe this is why you're not getting enough signal.
Edit: The more I think about it, a bridge rectifier will just turn the signal into a not very smooth DC output. Try just using a single diode in line.
