Silly Ipad's auto-spell-check :-(
Should have read:
"which destroys so many of the experimental reduction drives."
Cheers,

Looks like a nice concept and execution. I like their implementation of
the
reduction drive's centrifugal clutch which engages at around 1800 rpm -
likely avoiding the low rpm resonance peak which destroys so many of the
exponential reduction drives. Their manual is also quite detailed about
the
operating constraints for the turbo etc.
It was my understanding from my EAA colleges that when the prop/engine
combination goes into resonance (typically at low rpms) the power
dissipated
in the gearbox or any type of dissipating coupling (like the rubber one
in
the Viking) goes up exponentially. Wrt the Viking, i found Jan's
dismissal
of this typical characteristic a bit disconcerting.
Last year at osh, there was a high horsepower reduction unit on display
which also had a clutch. an elegant solution IMHO: simply avoid the
resonance instead of attempting to deal with it.
I wonder what the Europa installed weight was for smart installation?
Cheers,
Pete

Hi Europa Family,
I have installed the smart engine in my Monowheel XS.
This engine is made by Mercedes-Brabus with Turbo.
The engine is electronically controlled by the so called smart-MIP
System.
More Info you will find - also in English - under: www.ecofly.de
<http://www.ecofly.de/> and www.schicke-electronic.de
<http://www.schicke-electronic.de/>
I paid complete with engine frame, all accessories (but used a water
cooler
---From a Kawasaki 1200 and they changed the operating panel according to
my
drawing) and the smart-MIP system around 11.000 EUR.
When the engine is finished after about 2.000 operating hours, you just
get
a new smart/Mercedes engine for about 4.500 EUR (Ecofly will do the
change
for you-if you like).
Today we made some ground tests by -4=B0C and a static thrust test by
Warp
Drive setting on 14=B0 (best cruise). The max. engine rpm was 4.500, but
the
engine can do as maximum 5.800 rpm.
The static thrust test was measured by a digital spring scale and was
showing 145 kp, so now we will change the blade setting to 12=B0. Our
aim is
to get 180-200 kp.
More info later, if you like.
Best Regards,
Bruno Reith
