A NEW Bike for SOMAMECH

[Somamech]

here ya go Soma.. i can see you on one of these

LOL 

When it comes to Three dang wheels I love this videos of Drift Triking  

I so want to eff of Oz.. and spend my time between TW and NZ and Re-learn the Steeze 

[The Matrix Traveller]

Good lord man you are full madness LOL

I was just checking my youtube subs and saw that redbull had posted the American Cup Yacht's... Full of Kiwi's thankfully

It will be interesting to see if we win back the Americas Cup again.   

[The Matrix Traveller]

I might be in my 60's, but still young enough to give this a go...  LOL.

Brings back fond memories....

We all know America Cheat to Win ...  

LOL

I think like that too although I am nearly hitting 40 minus a couple of years...

Even when we get old one can still get a bit of style and ease into their life that make's one grin from side to side!

As eveidenced in this Two Wheel  vid!



I grew up on a farm and never had the competition to push myself further when I was a kiddo.  To ride these new dirt jumps would be so amazing !  I am not kidding myself in anyway though.. i just want to be able to survive them

[The Matrix Traveller]

An example of my design work from 6 years ago...   LOL.



CBR 250 RR 20,000 + RPM, with sequential shift...

One bad boy, sounds like F1... Used to draw the crowds when this started up on the grid.  LOL.

MatrixT that is a nice piece of work
20'000 RPM! that was some engine Honda built! quite a rare bike.

I'm getting a 2000 plate CBR 600 track spec it's quick. very very quick.
can't wait

[Elvis Hendrix]

MT, im loving that, I bet it flew.
Very Very cool indeedy.
Elvis

[Somamech]

See I told you all MT is way on the ball and has the chops to prove it

That is a work of art...

Check out the electronic sensor's for the ECU :O

[Somamech]

Even though I prefer the pedal horse.... 

One has to find some "repeating" history in the Gas driven Horse's and wonder where we have come

Back in 1966 people figured out that that small engines with high inertial kinematics were cool

This is a six Cylinder 250cc

1966 Honda RC166 Exhaust Engine Sound

[Somamech]

No need for Massive amounts of Metal to propel

Honda 125 5cylinder at Goodwood F.O.S 2002

Epic sound

SOMA them there Honda's. Rare as chicken lips.
remember the RC30 and the Yam ow01? then that crazy honda with the oval pistons
Mmmm petrol.

You can see why I chose a Honda CBR 250 RR Engine.

This Kart had a 6 speed Sequential shift pneumatically controlled from the steering wheel.
I also modified the engine to have a dry sump.

The Sensors you see, involves HT feed back where we were analysing the air/fuel ratio
by feedback (Electronic) from the burn inside each cylinder. The other is an O2 sensor
in the exhaust.

In the 1980's and 90's I designed and Manufactured "Closed Loop" Ignition control Computers
as well as Closed Loop EFI systems which used pressure sensors encapsulated in the base of spark plugs
to directly control Ignition timing and air/fuel mixtures independently in each Cylinder.

We were detecting the Insulation Mode (Involving the thermal cycles see... "Carnot's Thermal Cycle")

This involved monitoring in real time, the "Insulation Cycle" involving a sudden rise in Cylinder pressure
after each Ignition cycle.
(Which by technicians was often confused with detonation i.e. Fuel Nock.        )

My interest in the design of "High Performance Competition Engines" back then, involved thermodynamics...   

This may interest some esp. Soma and PWM.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnot_cycle




The "Carnot Cycle" when acting as a heat engine consists of the following steps:

1.    Reversible isothermal expansion of the gas at the "hot" temperature, T1
(isothermal heat addition or absorption).
During this step (1 to 2 on Figure 1, A to B in Figure 2) the gas is allowed to expand
and it does work on the surroundings.
The temperature of the gas does not change during the process, and thus the expansion is isothermal.
The gas expansion is propelled by absorption of heat energy Q1 and of entropy \Delta S=Q_1/T_1
from the high temperature reservoir.

2.    Isentropic (reversible adiabatic) expansion of the gas (isentropic work output).
For this step (2 to 3 on Figure 1, B to C in Figure 2) the piston and cylinder are assumed to be thermally insulated,
thus they neither gain nor lose heat.
The gas continues to expand, doing work on the surroundings, and losing an equivalent amount of internal energy.
The gas expansion causes it to cool to the "cold" temperature, T2. The entropy remains unchanged.

3.    Reversible isothermal compression of the gas at the "cold" temperature, T2.
(isothermal heat rejection) (3 to 4 on Figure 1, C to D on Figure 2)
Now the surroundings do work on the gas, causing an amount of heat energy Q2 and of entropy \Delta S=Q_2/T_2
to flow out of the gas to the low temperature reservoir.
(This is the same amount of entropy absorbed in step 1, as can be seen from the Clausius inequality.)

4.    Isentropic compression of the gas (isentropic work input). (4 to 1 on Figure 1, D to A on Figure 2)
Once again the piston and cylinder are assumed to be thermally insulated.
During this step, the surroundings do work on the gas, increasing its internal energy and compressing it,
causing the temperature to rise to T1. The entropy remains unchanged.
At this point the gas is in the same state as at the start of step 1.

MatrixT that is some serious GEEK tech. I know a bit about detonation having had plenty
of holed pistons due to either too much compression or weak fuel/air mixture or hot plugs in
the 2 strokes i tuned I don't pretend to understand what you wrote there but it's impressive

your some special kind of engineer pal
Why are modern bikes like the Kawasaki ZX1000R still having problems with hot middle cylinders?
you would expect this to have been sorted but it's a common problem.

Oh and I spotted the air shifter there great.thanks for the close up pic i like it!

Stealthy I would love an Rc30 along with an NR750..  HRC, they try different stuff!

When I was a kid and my dad had a working Honda CBX Six he would round up sheep on said bike on a thousand acre farm with me sitting on the tank LOL

Later on in infant years I made a school project about Soichiro LOL and got good marks LMAO

Kinda one of things where you wonder in hindsight about japan.  HRC have Asimo, dominate any sport they compete in and have no problems gaining sponsorship
