i've heard sintered steel works in such situations for rebuild enthusiasts, i imagine the honeycombe
and higher porosity allows heat dissipation. Also great for manifolds that wont burn up.
eg

Straight out of the textbook: "force on fluid in x direction = rate of increase of x-momentum"
Clearly a discussion of bend reaction. The speed stays the same, the energy stays the same, the momentum change produces the force. Hence the pyramids.
The man in charge of the definitions is always right.

However a more important question has arisen:

A mate has asked me to look at the transmission on his 1914 Brit; an early kit car.
The transmission is of the continuously variable type. The motor (I would guess 7bhp) has a faced CI flywheel about 16" diameter. A friction wheel about 14" in diameter and 1"face width contacts the flywheel at right angles to and on the face of the flywheel. The friction wheel is the power takeoff and can be moved across the flywheel face to change the ratio; neutral is in the middle where there is a small depression in the flywheel face.
The original friction material appears to have been laminated paper and doesn’t appear to have worked for long.
A replacement was made using brake lining material; didn’t have sufficient friction and the reaction was increased (in an attempt to get drive) until the crankshaft end snapped off.

Much machining later a number of materials have been tried: Soft rubber; disintegrated in chunks
Hard rubber; burned up
Laminated conveyor belting (on edge) nylon reinforcing melted Sole leather, bark tanned - smoked up

Any other suggestions?

I am tempted to try leather again with dressing, and see of there are any Kevlar reinforced high temp conveyor belt materials around.

Cheers

Steve

You can't escape the physics. If I were to go through the whole thing again using the some phrase like the 'magnitude of the momentum' which is a scalar, and which, when it changes produces a change in momentum, that'd be OK, wouldn't it?
