How are you reducing the rpm from 30 grand to the slower speed needed to turn the engine sprocket?  It seems the ring and pinion gear alone is not enough reduction.

The gearbox has a 5:1 reduction so the front sprocket will have a max rev of 6000rpm.

Anders,
Go to this web site and down load the tech article on high speed gear lubrication.  http://turbolab.tamu.edu/proc/turboproc/T33/t33-06.pdf

Interesting reading.

Rex



Hi Rex,

Very interesting reading indeed, and it somewhat confirmed my idea that the downside with post-mesh lubrication is acceptable compared to the alternative with all kinds of gear teeth damage.

If you consider the way the gearbox will work during a run it should probably work with injecting oil into the mesh, the gearbox will run from 0 rpm all the way up to 30.000/6.000rpm at the end of the run a couple of kilometers down the track so it will only see full revs a short while before I reach the end of the track.

Do you have a guess how much power I might lose on pre-mesh injection?

Industrial gears with 10.000h of life expectancy face all kinds of long term problems that I won´t have to deal with, I will happily change gears every 2 hours or so since that equals several years of racing.  :-)

Cheers!

Micro shot peening can roughen the surface so it retains lube better.  It is something I use on the race motor in places where I am worried about getting and retaining enough oil.  It seems to work.  An opinion from an expert on surface finishes might be worthwhile.

Damnit, I made an error in the previous post. This is what it would have looked like, I blame the beer. :-)

Thats a rule I can abide. :-)

I am currently walking around like an 90 year old man, tried my first marathon today where we were 40-ish runners in a group dressed up for the swedish lucia event. We ran for 4 hours and 30 minutes and I can feel it in my knees right now, luckily most of it can be cured with beer I think.  :-D



Cheers!

Congratulations. I've got to say though, that's a lot of work just to win a camera!!!  :-D :-D :evil:

Well done Anders.
