Those little holes are most likely to balance those rings.

A disc of acrylic or fibreboard on top and it would make a nifty side table :)

@frankroberts9320 2 жыл бұрын

The extra holes on the inner ring surface are likely due to the drilling out of excess metal to dynamically balance the rings. It cuts down on the weeble-wobbles. Also, I hope you kept the extra rings as future spares.

If your 100+ year old project doesn't have at least 2 kinda screws is it even really a project? Those old rings would be a really cool souvenir for your shop or somewhere like that

Hell yeah! Chris Boden is a helicopter guy?? And compares something to a collective from a heli?? Chris I enjoy your content more and more every day. Helicopters are so much better than airplanes.

I started on Helicopters, but I also fly fixed wing and multirotors as well. :)

@@Physicsduck aw man that’s awesome. I’ve done a few discovery flights in both helicopters and airplanes. My current goal is to go into the army National guard flying helicopters as a Warrant Officer. But I might fly fixed wing in the civilian sector just because it’s so much cheaper, and my end goal is to fly for an airline. Hopefully by then I’ll have the income to fly helicopters for leisure.

Maybe the small holes in the inside of the slip ring were drilled by a overly prudent engineer during a dynamic balancing of the ring assembly?

@jonathanedelson6733 2 жыл бұрын

I wonder if the series of small holes that you found was weight removal for balancing. In which case I wonder if the complete set of rings was balanced, or just individual rings. Really interesting stuff.

It starts with shmoo in the hole and then shrinkage occurs.

Could the "pitted" part be from a bad sync or a lightning strike? It looked melted rather than pitted.

Those go into my inventory and will be used in a future project. This is the closest thing to a "benefits package" I get.

Excellent job and video. Unless my eyes are deceiving me you get to loosen all the screws now and install the other 5 rings. Yes, No?

@magic.marmot 3 ай бұрын

Are the rings interchangeable, like will the five rings be able to be spare?

It would be good to have close up shots as you are working so that we can see what you are doing.

@Physicsduck 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, it would. I'd like to have a closeup camera off to the side, but that would require two things. 1. Another camera. 2. A place to put it. But I consider it a lesson for when I build the next shop. For now, I use the overhead camera for closeups.
