Angry mountain

Storm in the mountain,
as the weather change, the hard storm pass from the Hochstuhl mountain 2.237m,
true the wally. I was try to catchh some tunder strike, no good luck this time.
At least some nice shots and colors come true!

Moth lowrider again & new hydrofoils mold

Mahalo,

as happened last year twice, to be on Moth boat "lowrider", not "Love rider"
2010 broken hydrofoil

I did it again. Broken main hydrofoil in T connection. Now is this set up dead,
no chance to make the third repair. I also will not because the new hydrofoils are
knocking on the door!

The T connection looks like the explode from inside!

The MDF molds before finish!

The flying boat will be in short equipped with new hydrofoils. The vertical rudders
I am looking to keep the existing ones, and build in future new setup!

Re Design of the sensor Faucet

For the VS company we are in A good mix of Creativity studio,  make a step forward with design in the process of "face lift" for the sensor Faucet . On the first step we re-engineering the existing Faucet to parametrically values in Alibre design CAD system. With this we can on time checking all the elements in Faucet and tolerance on elements. When designing, a new input was taken into account all possibilities of new manufacturing technologies, including automation.  The product has got a new look with approach of industrial designer, who was responsible for visual shape/look and he worked closely in the design process. For dimensional and functional verification, we make in the company Chemets, Kranj, prototype of the Faucet with the laser sintering (SLS technology). Based on this model were established silicone molds for casting with polyurethanes resin. Model of the Faucet was made ​​under the process of vacuum casting of materials with similar technical characteristics as the later finished products. Technology and process ensures maximum flexibility of manufacture to the requirements of product in this case, especially for the different configuration of accessories depending on the specific customer product. This covers a very important niche in the field of sensor taps. Using CAD design and manufacture a prototype according to the methods of 3D technologies, we significantly reduce development time product, in particular, its accuracy and flexibility for development and design.

Moth hydrofoil 2011

Mahalo,
again long time from my last writing on the Blog, standard reason is too busy on different projects running in my life and work. But thing going on step by step, fist of all Moth will get new hydrofoil, the original was last summer twice broken, it is still sailable but bad performance. I start to design new one over the winter and it was on the CNC machine for the first cut.

I will write more regarding design construction in next posts,
here and now just some shots of making off!

Eda 5 replica goggles

And again, years ago I was made for mr.Albin Novak the author of replica plane EDA5 the male pilot model, that was somewhere in 90tis. For new history exhibition of planes he made new model in 1/2 scale! He got new pilot but without pilot goggles! I was kindly invited to make new ones. As in this stage the goggles was constructed in 3D CAD software Moi!

 

Eda5 1/2 scale made by mr.Albin Novak

 

 Retro goggles constructed in 3D Moi  / http://moi3d.com/

The state of the art technology chosen was the SLS 3D printing, weary good result on the product with measurements of 70x28mm!
 

 

 

 

The cool retro goggles was finished painted and assembled with gummy strap around Eda head!

 

Eda is now ready to take off, for exhibition, good fly Edvard!
