Hi Jerry,

Thanks for that,
I have had quite a bit to do with hydrolics over the years and have found
that there is a lot of heat generated in the circuits alright.
I was always under the impression that it is impossible to compress water.
They test gas tanks with water because of that fact. The tank gives before
the water compresses.
Perhaps it is this that makes water able to heat itself. In my water skiing
days, we found that if you fell off at 70 miles per hour, it felt like
hitting concrete, my best 7 skips (recorded on video) putting my neck out
and wrecking my thigh sockets.>
This may give a clue as to the velocity requirement to obtain maximum heat.
Oh and am glad to read Joe's own account of his first try (ALUMINIUM v8
Rover )
I must have been lucky !!! Still awaiting my B....... tools. Workshop ready
to go !!

See you

Ren
