Today is the 80th anniversary of Robert Goddard's first liquid fuel flight. To which MY Goddard says "Woof Woof ru Woof"  SignatureBob Kaplow NAR # 18L >>> To reply, there's no internet on Mars (yet)! <<< Kaplow Klips & Baffle: http://nira-rocketry.org/Document/MayJun00.pdf www.encompasserve.org/~kaplow_r/ www.nira-rocketry.org www.nar.org S&T is becoming this decades Steve Weaver! > Today is the 80th anniversary of Robert Goddard's first liquid fuel flight. What's the appropriate gift for an 80th anniversary? Let's look it up. 1st, paper; 2nd, cotton; 3rd, leather... 10th, tin... 25th, silver... 50th, gold... ah, here it is: 80th, APCP. Excellent!

Bob, I have this image of handing out anniversary rings to the party goers... rings made of APCP, and a few other useful materials... (call it an artistic timeline, or just a really bad idea...) the other bob > I have this image of handing out anniversary rings to the party goers... > > rings made of APCP, and a few other useful materials... Would these "rings made of APCP" weigh 62.5 grams or less? >>I have this image of handing out anniversary rings to the party goers... >> >>rings made of APCP, and a few other useful materials... > > Would these "rings made of APCP" weigh 62.5 grams or less? 62.5 grams is a damn big ring, isn't it? > >>I have this image of handing out anniversary rings to the party goers... > >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > 62.5 grams is a damn big ring, isn't it? That's according to BATFE. Bill Sullivan "It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so." - Robert A. Heinlein >> Would these "rings made of APCP" weigh 62.5 grams or less? > > 62.5 grams is a damn big ring, isn't it?

Bob > that would be a ring that goes far below the realms of "bling-bling." But it would be legal, at least in the sense of rocketry marketeers, maybe not the ATF. >>that would be a ring that goes far below the realms of "bling-bling." > > But it would be legal, at least in the sense of rocketry marketeers, maybe > not the ATF. Darrell, such a ring sounds like a wonderful summer project. Building the molds, CAREFULLY carving the rough products, adding the trim... I'm figuring that the ring would be about 10 cubic centimeters. That's a two fingered ring. I'll go and scratch up some quick designs for such rings... BTW, can anybody give me the actual density for APCP? Bob |
