Has anyone seen v-blocks for sale at Lowe's or HD?
Epoxy doesn't offer enough strength. I'm attempting to recreate a test-rig that the Wrights used before building the wind tunnel. It consists of a regular bicycle with third wheel mounted horizontally out in front of the handlebars. Attached vertically to either side of the horizontal wheel are model airfoils or flat plates. The theory was that using trigonometry, the wrights could evaluate various airfiol sections by measuring the angle of deflection off center, one airfoil vs. another. Of course, it wasn't acurate enough for scientific purposes, hence the wind tunnel, but it'll be fun to demonstrate at airshows. |
