One day, a few years ago, I decided to try out all my "ebay good deal" instruments. Here are the pictures: http://www.spiretech.com/~guynoir/ni...ments%2001.JPG http://www.spiretech.com/~guynoir/ni...ments%2005.JPG http://www.spiretech.com/~guynoir/ni...ments%2006.JPG The first one shows the true airspeed indicator sensor that came with my ultralight Nieuport. In the second picture, the first gauge on the left is a multi-function display showing airspeed, rpm, cht and egt. Airspeed comes from the windmill in picture 1, which generates about 1 volt per mph. The unit was made by Westach. Though it's not digital, it does have a "fan" and it is on a car. -- John Kimmel remove x "He's dead, Jim." |

(Robert Bonomi) wrote: In article , Morgans wrote: There are NO cars of which I am aware of having an airspeed indicator. can we count that Gremlin(??) "convertible" used in an old James Bond movie? If you mean this, it was the infamous Moulton Taylor Aerocar: "The 1974 James Bond film 'The Man with the Golden Gun' portrayed the villain escaping in a Taylor Aerocar.": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadable_aircraft What was infamous about it? It used to fly around Portland all the time and was infact used for traffic watch for a while. I don't see on the wikipedia page where Molt Taylors aerocar is located which heading is it under. |
