Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

Sorry, I really thought people were worried about the couple of kw heat from the coils. Of course, electromagnets taper off when hot, but given plenty of airflow and reasonable duration of runs, it is rarely a problem. Anybody running that close to maxing out a big retarder on a chassis dyno has got...

The heat in the retarder has virtually nothing to do with the current dissipated by the coils. It is in the form of magnetically induced eddy currents in the rotor. Effectively the rotor acts just like a giant disk brake would. The same amount of heat as holding the engine against a friction disk br...

I’m not too far from there I guess. Depends what you want I guess

Ray, My Honda guy tells me that Russell from Dominator Engines and Aaron Hambridge from APM both in Sydney can handle F20C S2000 bores, which I believe are Lokasil, the surface of which is similar to that V10 bore surface. Afaik the specifics are provided by Sunnen, essentially diamond honing and th...

THE Ray Hall?
If so there’s only a couple of joints that I’ve heard of off hand in Aus, the etch after hone is critical as are piston and ring materials.
Please advise if you are the Aussie Ray Hall and if so I’ll chase up some contact details

Wow. Just wow. I don’t know how this can seriously be an argument on this forum, unless perhaps EG’s account has been hacked. The solution is simple guys. Let’s leave EG to build the device and become a billionaire by making energy, while we pay market rates for said energy. EG, you are a genius, an...
