Is that a digital temp meter on the stand?

I must say, I am indeed very priveledged. I have experienced an axial flow supercharger running at about 1/2 design speed, and my hands have been bessed by it's high flow PSI's spewing out the discharge port.

Most impressive. Richard has a pressure guage accurate to a poofteenth of a PSI and we had it plumbed into the volutes to get a PSI indication. He also has a need RPM counter that was laser guided, and measured the RPM of the input pulley. Also a dual probe temp sensore to measure the temp rise during the experiments. And he is going to attach a strain gauge to measure the torque effort, hence the HP required to turn the blower. It need to be a big motor .

I'm just setting up some pics now.

I felt really bad that Torque dissapeared while RAP was deep in conversation with me. It only took 2 seconds for Torque to befriend me. I says to richard a few minutes later, where is the dog gone? He was tied up a cable. The cable was clean cut off. Real strage. I watched the shop for the next 6 hours while Richard went looking.

I decided to use the time to start burning stuff from my dying laptops HDD on to CD. I also pilfered Richards network connection to get on the web. So when he got back, there I was, caught in the act, hooked into the network and burning CD's! LOL.

I'll go and do some pics, and tell more of the story later.

Cheers,
Hymee.

looks more like a voltmeter(multimeter) to me..

but I dunno.. could be anything.. hymee mentions a dual probe temp sensor so that could be it.

Yup, it reads two probes, delivers delta temp or two temps at once.
Didn't get any pics but maybe Hymee did of the lazer tach. That's neat too.

As you wish. This is less a demonstration of my basic edition of free Photoshop than it is a testament to my basic photoshopping skills .

I retain the right to post the original later on....... :D

Gomez, as upset/sad as I am about my dog, you made me laugh out loud.
Thank You

Gomez

I hope he finds his way back home, Richard.

Ha, Ha Dosdog has brightened the office up somehow and exposed Hymee with cam hiding in office. Hope he posts it here for your entertainment.

Took off the Cat and installed my stolen Hymee exhaust. Getting flames now out the back. Anyone else doing this?
Guess that's what I get for installing a HOT exhaust.

I think Wildcard lays claim to something similar...

rotarygod

That looks like a great idea Hymee. Stick your fingers in a supercharger! How many do you have now? :D

Gomez

I can extend my photoshop skills a little further.....

Drool......

Sorry, you're gonna have to work a little harder in order to get the image Thedosdog did. On his you can really see the Hymster sneeking around in there. Give it another go. I can't figure out how you guys are getting an image from nothing. I know he was in there but how does your program know? It just looks black to me.

Gomez

Ask your son how we did it . Okay, one more just for you. I upped the brightness and contrast a little more. Any more requests better come with a cheque (check) attached.

Gomez - I see you have aptly reconfigured Hymee's mug as it looks after a few Jack Daniels.

Hopefully your dog will show up once he gets a little hungry Richard.

Love the 'dyno' too.

Gomez

Richard has sent me another photo. I think this is the one that Hymee wanted disguised earlier. I have added a seagull.

You're fired anyway. Thedosdog works for free and did a better job.
You remember what Dirty Harry said "A mans gotta know his limitations"

You're still the man when it comes to writing DIY thread though.
Lord knows you have a following there.
Your shifter name of "snick shifter" is in the running still.

Therefore your "cheque" is reduced to 66% of it's prior amount.
As always checks go out on Tuesday.
Cheques however go through the computer and no timing can be predicted.

The seagull dumped on my car. Hymee tounge is good touch, can't remember if that was there or if you added it.

Dogs not back yet. To early here to call the pound. :o

Dam, hope your dog gets back soon! Kickass photos. How you like the 8 so far, havent read any impressions on that yet?

Well, that was fun. Just got back from the animal shelter. $217 to get the damn dog back. Funny thing was he got picked up right on the corner where we were. Whoever picked him up didn't look around much as it is an industrial section and was empty on Sunday. They should have noticed Hyme and I running the damn blower test stand. Hell they should have heard it.

I wonder if someone didn't just sneak in behind us and cut the wire, intending to steal the dog. It is wierd how that wire was cut. Hymee saw it first, the wire was sheared not chewed through as I thought. It was a 4 wire cable with 20 gauge wires.

Driving impressions might be on the shifter thread, I think. I did report some somewhere. Overall very impressed with the job Mazda has done for this price range it's a good ride. I like the interior driving feel and controles. Tight steering and good response.

If no one else will put up Hymees picture I will. Here's the sneek, sneeking

I'm glad to hear you found your dog... Those pound fees are RIDICULOUS in Cali... Here in Texas (DFW) its only about $75 to get your dog out of the pound if its only been in less than 3 days...

Any ETA on strapping this thing to your 'test bench' with wheels?

MassiveAttack

Maybe the dog got scared by the sound and "freed" himself...
