No, no, no. The Hercules engine is (as is well-known) a 14-cylinder

(Lets see what Tarver makes of that.)

That is a lot of sparkplugs.

Hell John, not near as many as in a C-124...there's 216 in
that!...

My father spent the first few years of WWII changing spark plugs.

Sorry Jim, but it does work.

Sorry Scat, but it does work and is how the J-52, J57 and J-75 engines
were
instrumented.

What is it you do, little troll?

I said it works Tarver, can't you read?

Hopefully all can agree, "Tarver/Splappy" is a "Piece of Work At Best".

Was that before or after he was in the 101st in Bastogne?

Tarver, at the risk of a barrage of filth from you, can you provide a
web site
other than yours that shows TIT or EGT thermocouples in series?

You are too confused for me to even respond, Dan.


Tarver, I didn't think you could. You simply aren't man enough to say "I
can't
because there is no such thing."

Why should I deal with anymore of your senile meanderings?

Your favorite archive troll is in ashes and you are a certified idiot,
Dan.


Dream on, Splaps.

Wrong John, average on a T56

Are you narrowing your completely wrong statements about thermocouples
down
to one engine now, Scet?

I suppose you do need to make some mad attempt to save some face.

Let us try again:

A URL can be made by anyone and has no guarantee of accuracy of any kind.


That's because T56 engines are fitted to hercs..........

I guess a URL is just like one of Tarver's claims, then!

So?

None of that changes your ignorant rants in this thread.

Baker was here posting about there being no E4A and posting the military
URL, but he was found out to be wrong, when one of the crew members listed
the E4A serial numbers.

It is easier for you to think of "average" than the engine term "total", but
the exact same data is in both forms. Actually deviding is a bad idea.

I saw you were making a fool of yourself at rai, Weiss. Stick a little
closer to ram and your incompetence as a civil airplane operator won't show.

You certainly couldn't parallel two different voltage sources IF
they were 'hard' because huge currents would flow. So on a T-56
engine they do indeed parallel many thermocouples. (I forget how
many now, but there's a bunch) Half are used for the FCU and half
for the Temperature Datum System.

Did you know that the major failure mode for a theromocouple is a short?

Yes John...

Consider, Gord, that making your little friends look less foolish is only
making you look foolish.

Yes John...

Even if you were to make an "average", you would need a "total" first.


Yes John...


Yes John.. (oops)

I fail to see how the separate thermocouples outputs will be
"averaged",because any individual TC cannot rise in output,as all the
others parallelled will prevent any rise in voltage.Or current would flow
from a higher V to a lower one,just as if you wired batteries of
different
voltages together,you end up with circulating currents until all cells
are
of equal voltage..
Seems to me that parallelling them is only for the possibility of an
individual thermocouple to be burned out or open.

Jim, as I mentioned before they do average. If you connected say
flashlight batteries of slightly different voltages in parallel
then quite high currents would flow because their internal
resistance is low but thermocouples have comparatively high
resistance therefore limiting the current that will flow.

Which makes a higher voltage.

Quit while you are ahead, Gord, Danno has been hitting the bong.


Yes John...
