Propulsion-meister Marty (aka Smarty) has been working hard. Starting with a concept that Sam proposed, he developed a basic design. Karl added some sage words of advice, and the system took shape on paper. Then it was time to commit and lay down some cash in the form of an order with McMaster Carr. It was an exciting day when everything arrived. Slowly the drive train has been taking shape. The photo at left shows how it looked earlier today.
One of the big challenges for Team Propulsion has been learning to braze with consistent results. The photo at left shows what happens when you overheat the base material (left) versus when it's just right (right). Although the part on the left looks like it had small pox, it's still functional.
A photo of some of the components that will be used in the finished system.
