Hi! Ken: Maybe I have a different physics book than the one you are
using.
Centripetal force = mass x velocity squared / radius F=mv2/r Now go
back and calculate the water pressure at the exit nozzle based on the
volume of water in the
arm. In a Clem conical drum which is composed of many Phi ratio spiral
tubes
there is considerable reactive thrust from the nozzles which drive the
rotation of
the unit while the centrifugal force is drawing the water into the hub.
Your lawn
sprinkler depends on the city water pressure of 60 PSI or more to
provide the
driving force to turn the head array. In an artificial gravity set up
such as the
Clem engine the radius of the unit is critical as is RPM to achieve the
necessary
pressures needed to drive the assembly beyond the point of frictional
losses
in the distribution tubes. The reason that the distribution tubes are
based on a Phi
ratio is to provide a practically free fall flow through the tubes as
envisioned by
Schauberger in his device. I believe, as does Jerry that there are
thermal factors
and viscosity variations in the oil that are lurking here also. These
are the factors
that we don't have a firm handle on until a unit is built and run. Norm
