Re: Remember those jet backbacks?
Thanks for the info, John.
Yes, you're right! 600 seconds of
useful thrust wouldn't be achievable.
But!...I did further number crunching,
using more appropriate equations
[PV=nRT, DeltaHf=Delta(0.5mv^2),and a few calculus equations] working from a midrange pressure [10,000Ibs/in^3]/2...
Even I should have remembered that using stored compressed-air for power is not a linear-function.
Am I disappointed or pessimistic? No!!!
"I've got a few little tricks up my sleeve"! Mums the word! Patent-office
"may" need to be informed. Back to my pocket-calculator.
