thinking about getting some peeps together to build an indoor jetski waterpark complete with a wave pool for practicing freeride stuff. I figure just ventilate the upper section of one end of the building with exhaust fans, and intake vents at the other end to keep the air cleared of engine exhaust building up.

what size building do you guys think we would need to accommodate such an undertaking?


I'd like to build the wave pool to produce some pretty good sized waves.

Sounds expensive I hope you have sufficient funding in mind. Cool idea.

Travis,
To be honest, it's just you. (and Ricky G) It goes back to earlier days on PWC, actually. You were a jerk to a lot of people, and it rubbed me the wrong way. Now you come over here more when you get banned on PWC. You waste server space with ramblings about nonsence, and I think you do it just for attention. You're the only one I am intentionally a jerk to here on X. There are a couple here that I joke with in fun, and they handle it just fine.

I'm not sure where you would find pictures of me ( or why you would be searching for them? ), but I surely don't have an attitude towards any members besides you. (Oh wait, I dislike Dirkdiggler's sales practices, too. Does that even count?)

So now you won't have to wonder why I'm a "prick" to you.


I don't recall this, but you sure seem to have carried this grudge for a long time.





this really cracks me up. you say I'm the one "holding a grudge"!?!?..lol

uhm.... ok?:shhh:







http://www.pwcrider.com/forum/showthread.php?t=236 What's that about not getting banned? You said it in plain english on pwcrider while you were banned on PWC. You have been banned here, too. :doh:!


.....and if you actually at least TRY to pay attention to the link you're referring to, you will notice that I wasn't banned, I was put on the MU list for standing up for what is right, and if you have at the very least a shred of human decency you would agree with what I stood for that got me put on the MU list. I tend to watch out for people getting screwed over by idiots that like to take advantage of a N00bs' inexperience. and yeah, I've been banned "here too" because I don't just let people talk smack without them getting it back, and most of the time ten fold.



I think I have said enough on the matter.


yes I would have to agree with you there. you've definitely "said enough on the matter" alright. you've said just enough on the matter to prove that you're totally clueless.



but I still think you're a very talented individual, and you make great parts. you just have issues with confusing constructive criticism with personal attacks, and/or attacks on your business.


I apologize for the misconception, and it was never intended to be presented that way. I don't hold a grudge toward you. so lets bury the hatchet, and not in each others skulls. what do you say?

you are soooooo full of crap...lol

he not only "doubted" and said I was the only one on the planet to ever refer to a two stroke expansion chamber as an "extractor" exhaust, but he also said there was no possible way a total loss system would function with just a pickup switch, coil, and battery (which is a brainless setup). now he says he never said that, although, him saying that is what got the whole argument started. I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt and chalkin' it up to he simply doesn't remember saying it. Although, to be quite honest kurt, if I argued that blind point for as long as he did and then got proved wrong, I wouldn't want to look like an 4ss either. so yeah, I'm pretty sure he just forgot.

just more rambling from your "alternate reality" that you are clueless about.

So travis, I can take a set of pickups, an OEM Kawasaki or Yamaha Coil wire the pickup straight to the OEM Coil and make the ski run as a total loss.........

(No voltage regulators, no CDI's, nothing).

I wouldn't be able to tell you if you could use an oem coil or not. we use dyna coils, accel super coils. which are just plain coils. the only components are as follows:

coil, pickup switch, stator plate, flywheel, and battery.

no voltage regulators, no variable timing circuits, nothing.

they are "static" timed.


although, I don't see why you couldn't use an oem coil selecting the correct wires. a coil is a coil. if it charges with the battery, and discharges when the magnets on the flywheel pass the pickup, then it would work.

A coil and a capacitor are two very different devices.
Opposite in function and performance.

yes, however, the ignition coil serves as the "capacitor" in this basic Capacitive Discharge Ignition system.

these particular setups are only good for one thing, being dialed in and adjusted to run efficiently at WOT on a closed buoy course.

No.

A coil is a loop or several loops of wire.
A capacitor is two conducting plates separated by a dielectric material.
A coil cannot act as a capacitor.

it has to with this setup. just because it's not constructed like an actual capacitor doesn't mean it doesn't function as one.

if you turn the system "on" and the motor isn't started, and the flywheel magnets and pickup switch isn't keeping the coil "dumped", it will burn the coil. a green dyna coil will heat up and split down the side unless the engine is run, or the power is cut off to the coil.

just because the coil "capacitates" power from the battery doesn't mean it has to be an actual capacitor in order to do so.

it is a capacitive dischagre ignition system.

Okay Travis.
You seem to have a pretty solid grasp of the electrical principles at work here.

I take a 9v battery and make a "capacitor" out of a plain length of wire bridges across the poles of the battery. as long as the wire doesn't burn in half it will hold the voltage, and/or hold the voltage until the wire burns in half. if the circuit isn't broken something will burn up.

that's how this system works. the coil charges and "capacitates" enough electricity to produce a set value and/or strength or spark in voltage, contingent apon it's number of windings. when the switch is tripped, the voltage is temporarily relieved from the coil (this will usually keep it from melting down if the intermittent discharge is frequent enough.) as soon as it's discharged by the switch and switch closes the circuit again, the coil recharges.


a plain old battery is a "capacitor", matt, it's just a different type of capacitor. as is an ignition coil and an actual technically labeled capacitor.

here's another thing, if I take the plugs out and plug them into the boots, switch the system on, and by hand, position the magnets of the flywheel over the pickup switch, the system will activate and the plugs will sit there on top of the engine and fire like a stun gun continuously until I reposition the flywheel.


in other words, while using the stator plate, switch, and flywheel, I can rip apart a stun gun, connect the wires of the stator switch to the coil in the gun, turn the gun on, and as long as there's current going to the plugs, I can crank the motor over with the solenoid and ski battery, and the thing will kick off and run with just the coil and 9v battery from the the stun gun until the 9v runs out of juice.
