But nothing right?

Not true. We have corn. And...corn. And...more corn. And the occasional city. And, yet more corn.

 

[Debadoo]

That's why the route is so important

Jup, we need to look at landing in NYC, vs somewhere in Florida and which route is best to head to S Dakota and Vegas. I need to start paying attn to where everyone is. But I do need to know who could be available for a couple of weeks, that wants to go to the hitchin!

Rixy and Ems are there any cities/places that y'all particularly want to see?

 

[Belhade]

Thank you... I was wondering how one would get to Upstate NY by heading west out of NYC... lol

Gotta head up to Albany first (or at least Newburgh) before you start going west! I cover the entire Hudson Valley and surrounding areas for work.

Thank you... I was wondering how one would get to Upstate NY by heading west out of NYC... lol

To me the Thruway is I90 which is east/west but near the city its actually 87 and North/south.

Just one of the dozens of ways NY has to be ......ed instead of following the patterns the rest of the US does.

With good luck/timing Rixie can follow my Uhaul to Florida out of this worthless state.

Jup!! Silver Queen sweet white corn, some of the best in the world!! And luscious Indiana melons!!

I called it the oval coil when I wrapped around a tiny wire tie for rebuilding Kanger T3 coils.

did you flatten out a section of 4 mm rod to make those coils?


I wonder has anyone ever double claptoned wire? 2 layers of claptonizing over the core wire.

Getting hard to invent new coil styles....

I've double wrapped a Clapton. Just adds mass and slows down the ramp up time.

Ahh a picker!
Good for you. Do you play Thunderstruck?

Never tried

Southern Indiana ain't bad but the North in Gary. Gary makes me ashamed to be an American.

 

[Belhade]

I guess on a map your right.

For me its Northwest up 87/90.

For his needs he wouldn't need to see Upstate so could go right on I80.

Old habit for me.

Oh I know how it goes For hitting the northern plains, I prefer to start on I-80 to Chicago and switch off I-90 there.

I wrapped a normal round coil and squished it with wide jaw pliers while the middle was filled with a bunch of 26g in a bundle.

Figured that on the double claptons.
I have little use for high mass coils. I am liking 27 ga a lot.
Put a 26 ga 9 wrap .9 ohm 3mm diameter coil in a Serpent (full size) a bit ago and like it pretty well so far.
Using it on regulated at 21 watts right now should work fine on a mech though.

 

[Boden]

I like the idea perhaps perfected it becomes the teardrop-airfoil coil.
The goal being smooth even airflow with minimal eddy currents.

Exactly my goal

 

[Belhade]

Hey now, nothing wrong with Indiana...

My experience of Indiana was cornfields; then a single block of Manhattan skyscrapers dropped into the middle of a vast plain of oil derricks!

 

[Robert Cromwell]

LOL, well that works as well.
I finally filed a 3mm nail flat on opposite sides and sanded smooth and used that on my T3S coils before I quit using them when the dark and cloudy side took me over.

If you have some of those special pliers used for squeezing the round button Scotch lok connectors the phone company uses they should work well for the squeeze.
The jaws stay paralell during the squeeze.

Since I've started every trip from Upstate I was stuck on I-90. My bad. Nothing to see Upstate. He might like Lake Placid. The thought of driving an RV through Keene doesn't sound fun.

Actually if he wanted to see Lake Placid my wife and I could drive him there before picking up his RV. We love Eastern NY (in the Summer).

I tried that but the larger coils had too much spring back and turned into bizzaro coils.

Don't see that many melons around these parts. Well, If I head to the lake during the summer maybe.

Hmmm. Had not thought of the spring back....
Could push the coil thru a die?
Still spring back. You would need a tapered ceramic die with an induction heater built in?

when I was a kid, the farmer's markets around Indianapolis had em. The best cantaloupes I've ever had!

Skyscrapers? Not sure any building in Indiana is tall enough to qualify.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

I do like good pair of melons.
