Veedubber's Tech-Line Coatings
Mr. Hoover, I've been pondering the thermal barrier and thermal
dispersants that you've advocated several times. Ponder with me for a moment if you will. I've got an experimental engine, with an experimental cooling setup. Do know for guaranteed that the cooling will be sufficient, so I'll be keeping a close eye on the water and oil temperatures. But the coatings will cause more heat to be dumped into both. How would a typical homebuilder know the difference between elevated temps due to a more efficient heat transfer and inadequate cooling? Then there is the issue of what the redline temperatures are set for. In the rotary, it is for the main bearings. Would the barriers and dispersants change the thermal characteristics in such a way that the temps readings taking in the normal places look adequate, but in reality critical parts are being fried? -- This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)." |
