SO it turns out making large aerogel monoliths is an incredible challenge in engineering, patience, and chemistry. I can make little beads and small pieces all day long... I'd even go so far as to say I have the 'gel' making process down to an art. BUT, Manufacturing the large chunks I envision...

@Bundy - HEY HEY, how goes it man. Thanks for stopping by. Once I get back home I'll finish PrometheusCU off... I've spent the past couple years bouncing around the world and I left Prometheus in storage back home. @Ster187 - The bottom sits on the floor, so there will be no air venting that...

@STER187 - Thank you very much for posting. The airflow is almost exactly like revision 3.0, only in the bottom area the airflow is directed upwards instead of down. All the air is evacuated out the cavity in the center of the chassis... this case has no windows at all. This design creates a...

Whats next? 1) Resurfacing the panels - this will be done by squeezing each piece for a few seconds at ~200,000lbs in a press heated to ~400degress. The pieces will be pressed between a textured sheet of teflon, the texture will be transferred to the surface of the composite panels. The result...

I've been diligently plugging away. I decided to trade in the project log for a big bang at the end. Many issues arose when fabricating the 8mm thick panels - there was a great numbers of unsuccessful trials before arriving at the solution seen in the images below. A total of 64 layers were...

Thanks a lot for the comments everyone. The composite wil not be like anything you've ever seen before... it's not even available to consumers. The panels are being made to military specifications, they and are usually used as armour plating on nuclear submarines. They are made from 52layers of...

8mm thick carbon fiber panels, made from the highest grade composites

Because, some of the finest mods I've ever seen have been here on Hardwaredeluxxe, and I'd like to: A) take advantage of the minds here and get some advice on my own build. B) join the ranks of the amazing minds here. Also, I wasn't aware that linking off-site was acceptable practice. I'm...

Thanks a lot for the comment. The date 10.01.10 is October 1st, 2010. That's when I'll post the first fabrication pictures. =) I started planning in July. *j

You'll have to forgive me, I don't speak German so I'm going to do my best with online translators. ====== Sie müssen mir verzeihen, ich spreche kein Deutsch, also werde ich mein Bestes tun, mit Online-Übersetzer bin. Design Features: - Crafted from the worlds highest grades of composite...
