wally dugan Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 NICE to see you back is this a smaller scale of the item and is it to do with rocket power ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 Wally it was something you said in a message to me that reminded me it was time for another MO. Good to see you are waiting in the wings. Not to do with rocket power. The picture is part of the thing itself, its not a scale model or anything like that.

wally dugan Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 a heat exchanger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 2 minutes ago, wally dugan said: a heat exchanger Wally part of it is in a sense a heat exchanger, the heat from the thing is being dissipated to the air. This heat is an unwanted by-product of the operation the main thing, creating heat in itself is not the purpose, most of this bit you can see is trying to get rid of the heat.
