Congratulations Paul and Larry.  The fact that you did this so
quickly and so well does not mean that it was easy.   Jerry


It is if you have an NC machine shop, Jarrett and FEA :)
Next step is a 600 ft pound static test.
Thanks again Larry and Jarrett.

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

Impressive Paul & Larry, I gotta say.. to see the very first
complex casting I've ever designed on screen..
It's pretty cool.. I hope it's only the start of many more.
Having access to full NC machine capabilities.. sure makes
a difference!

Best

Jarrett



Thanks Jarrett,
Now I can't wait to machine them up! I will load test one, and them
destructively fail test it to see what it's ultimate strength is. If all
look good, we will build production tooling.
Next casting will be an aluminum water pump housing that is lower profile,
and will mount dual 55 amp alternators. The entire set up will provide the
security of dual alternators and weigh less than the stock cast iron part.

Move it down low Larry as that is one of the problems with the stock
pump. When the water gets low in the block it starts to cavitate and it destroys
the pump housing. Kind of dumb for Mazda to put it up so high. Probably
an out growth of the old engine driven rad fan.

The RX8 and 3rd gen pump are much lighter than the old cast
iron cartridge version.

We built some remote pumps for the second gen pump cartridge. Did not sell
all that well. People won't spend money unless they are forced :)
