Can you have wind/air flow in a negative pressure?

 

Plus 50 psi inside the autoclave at the time.

Minus 14.7 psi inside the vacuum bag.

 

The wind is generated by two large fans, one at each end. This circulates the air, and the air current passes over the heater elements.

The clave produces remarkably even heat throughout.

 

This time we were curing at 110 °c

The Top photo is showing all the waste we have had to date.

 

Very Very little.

 

Bulkheads came out a lot better this time.

 

Little corner pieces are to do with the way the two shell halves are blind joined.

will become clearer once laminated.

It is all very clean and professional. I was particularly impressed with the guides to keep the foam feeding into the circular saw blade. :thumbup:

 

Nice new signature Clipper!

Yes I am hoping this thread will be useful in offering lots of little tips and ideas along the way.

Just got the laminate over the chainplate pin finished and have biffed the two chainplate bulkheads in the autoclave.

Hopefully it will behave itself in there tonight.

 

The chainplates themselves are 3.3mm thick carbon laminate and only 100mm wide and 200mm long and good for well over 10 tonnes.

Its great stuff this Carbon !

Hey tim

 

you could have saved yourself a whole lot of bother by building symetrical bulkheads and making a proa. Acorrding to a proa builders you would have had your boat built and be sailing this weekend. Not only that you would take line and handicap in your 400 million knot boat :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

And it would be so light you could just carry it down the ramp yourself & chuck it in the water. Save crane costs.
