[Vwdiesel] Rabbit droppings # 111 ---- ( a VW diesel Sub ? )

[H.Hagar]

Val Christians   plastic plane with surplus turbo jet engines ?   crazy ?  not at all.

I had cockpit time in a BD- 5 jet --- does it perform or what ? very impressive.

Terminal engines are very cheap in the USA  at times.   I did not know about cruise missile engines
being sold.  --- but target drone engines may wind up in a scrap yard cheap.

I flew a terminal type engine for a long time on a Bensen Gyrocopter ---it was powered by
a "Mukkelok"     McCullough   100 cubic inch two stroke 4 cylinder  target drone engine.
 My info say it was designed to last 6 hours.  At that time 1963 it was the most powerful
aircraft engine in the world   horses per pound.  It was a boxer or pancake or whatever.

145 octane gasoline and AD-100 oil mix.    and did she go  WOW    On floats I took the rotor off
and blew the hydroplanes on Alluette lake out of the water  ---they had the idea that
they were fast. They were , but 80 MPH ?  not quite .  The Bensen would do about
120. --- NO I did not I got scared.

Hagar's cement submarine is not a joke --- Hull made of cement and steel --- Battery Nicad
Diesel VW 1.5L NA     20 foot snorkel    . Why cement ?   cheap and it has incredible
compressive strength. And it last a long time.   And it is heavy , you need neutral buoyancy.

I have it all here  --- big cement rings ---batteries ---drive motors --controls---VW diesels
when is the launch ?   --- never --the grim reaper is stopping the project. yikes.

I know that Gary Bangs will like this thread.   We do have a lot of  inventive minds here
and who would not call Bede or Rutan and guys like that --- inventive minds ?.

So I do declare   Val Christian and Mark Shepherd and Harmond Seaver and---
those of you where the shoe fits inventive minds.   Yes I am one.

Loren and his moped ?   yes he is one.   How do we become this way ?   hell if I know,
but it feels real good when your invention works like stink ? ---you agree ?.

Stupid question ? ----   yes.

Lets take a look at Florida ---- would a thousand VW 1.5L NA  gensets make a difference
like right now ?    Nothing would be more cost effective IMHO.

We have become too dependent on electricity --but if we need volts and water , lets do something about it.
Nobody in this forum that I can think of would have problems solving those problems.

Yes VOLTS and WATER  ---there you are   ------ what the hell did we do before ?

I know and I liked the candles and bath in that stave tub ---with a nice woman scrubbing my back ?
it was great --- let me tell you if you did not have that experience.  I would like to go
back --if only for a day. ------ what joy  ---pure joy.

So if  you are in Florida and a sweaty nabor needs a shower --?  think ? if you have lots of water.

I have talked to a lot of woman --- and believe me NOTHING is more important to a woman ,
than a good shower.   ------- and that is hard to find in some parts of Florida today.

A man ?   shit all he needs is a COLD beer.   yes I am one.

Hagar.

PS:  the pure joy of just being alive ?  you bet.
