Throttle Updates
| The throttle produced in EID 101 worked, and is a useful tool for calibrating the engine for a convolution throttle, but posed some issues. It is difficult to repair and maintain, and could be optimized in some other aspects as well. So working off of a design change from Spyros Korsanos, I am designing a new throttle which is a bit more user friendly. |
Throttle D6 and D7
| In these stages we made the big jump of place the springs outside the throttle body in order to allow for easier maintenance of the springs. Previously they were sealed inside the throttle in a tiny, and consequentially limiting, channel and fixed by pressed fitted pins. The press fits made the springs hard to change, and the channel limited us on what springs we could use, so Spyros suggested moving the springs outside the throttle. |
D6
An actuator interacts with the sliding plate via pins going through slots in the top plate.
