Thanks for the replies fellas. After giving this way too much thought, I have concluded that LittleInch is correct, it is technically possible but not very practical. Transferring the downward force of the water weight in the tube into a form that can be measured from the top would require some...
G'day, this is doing my head in and thought that someone here, much smarter than me, will probably know the answers to my questions. I have just sunk a bore for a small irrigation project and despite pumping it for several days to establish the bore, I'm not 100% sure of the bore yield capacity...
Wow, thanks for the link. That will keep me busy for a while. The material won't be used in or under the water but I live in the tropical north of Australia and humidity is very high for 1/2 the year and very low for the other half. This has a significant affect on the biological sinew fibres...
Thanks for your reply. I am quite familiar with the use of carbon and glass fibre but I am trying to find a synthetic sheet that will act similar to sinew when used on the back of a bow. Sinew is applied wet and as it shrinks it pulls a great amount of pre-tension onto the back of the limbs. I...
G'day, I am just a tinkerer so please forgive my amateurish questions. I simply don't know where to seek the information that I am chasing. There are no plastic engineers where I live. A while back I experimented with making bow limbs (archery) using pre-tensioned mono-filament fishing line on...
