Hi George, I know the calculation program you have used. It is a good program. I have used it many times myself, but one can not trust it will calculate...
That is going to be one of their builds also on the show.I will have to record that one! ... From: rktman8888 To: Rocket_Belt@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday,...
Hey Eric, I think if you inject the superheated water into the equivalent of a "combustion chamber" the superheated water will have the opportunity to flash ...
Yes, but only 17 % of the total weight of water will flash, in the example you had, if it is an adiabatic expansion. (Adiabatic = Isentropic = loss free) Erik ...
Hi Peter, Very good because now we can calculate the flight time from Juans figure for the jet velocity, 1500 feet/sec., because: The thrust in Newton = the...
Ky, You have provided everything we need to estimate the performence of steam rockets. Thank you. Erik ... From: corey5400 To: Rocket_Belt@yahoogroups.com ...
Hello Erik, If I could "fly" 9.3 sec with 60 lbs of water than I sure would not mind to increase that to 100 lbs !!!! You don't have to walk from Rome to...
Hi Group, Eric, Eric, if it is not too much trouble, using Truax's figures for calculations, could you run the numbers for a Steam Rocketbelt using the...
***Correction to my previous post*** Steam rocketbelt parameters: Total dry weight of 250 lbs (Dry weight of steam rocketbelt=75 lbs+ pilot weight=175 lbs) ...
Hi Guys When you translate Juan's Spanish explanation it says: "In these rockets a physical phenomenon happens very peculiar since it does not matter if the...
Hello Peter, I hope your translation is correct and that Juan's statement is correct but this sounds almost to good to be true but....IF it's correct than I...
Peter, Not bad logic! However in a steam rocket engine you would vent the liquid, not the gaseous steam through the nozzle (you would drain from the "bottom" ...
Hello George/Peter/Eric etc.... Very confusing stuff indeed !!!! A few thoughts:I dont think that there will be steam on top of the water,at least not at the...
Hi Corey, I´ll be glad to use the Truax´s figures for for calculations as you suggest, but you have to give me some time. Maybe George or someone else in the...
Hi Erik, group Thanks Erik and I understand your time constraints. Maybe George or someone else in the group can run the numbers using Truax's figures from...
Hi Corey, Thank you for giving me some time. When 17 to 20 weight-% of the water flashes one get a huge VOLUME of steam because steam has so much lower density...
When did rocket-belt-like devices first appear in stories about Buck Rogers? The iconic image of Buck Rogers is our hero, zipping through the sky with a rocket...
Hi Guys Juan made the news here in Australia. Rocket Belt for Sale! So I went to his site to see if there is any free flight footage. I could not see any. Does...
Hey Mark, Juan only posted a few photos of his rocketbelt free flight attempt located at http://www.tecaeromex.com/ingles/RB-i.htm He fell during his free...
Hi Guys Maybe this link will help you. http://neverworld.net/truax/ Ky, look at Evil Knevil's steam rocket link. Look who is ducking under that rocket nose...
Corey, Im sorry to here Juan was injured. It would be great for an experienced pilot to try his belt and work out the bugs (if there are any). Best regards...
Peter That brings back old memories Doug has been a friend of mine since 1974, The days of long hair and bell bottom pants. I will never forget when Doug flew...
Hi Ky 400 miles, that's 1,5 times from the North of The Netherlands to the South... When it's nice weather, I go on my bicycle to my work (8 miles one way....)...
Hi group, I see that a couple of weeks ago Stuart updated his one page website at http://www.rocketbelt.co.uk/ It states he is still doing testing and will be...
Hi Guys. Why has Stuart got the the steam coming out of the tanks on his web site? ... Regards Mark Ps From Juans experience I hope we are all giving more...
