Hi All:

  Im back from vacation.

Version 1.18 is online, it has included Roots Blowers in the noncircular tabs.

This version also incorporates a few general fixes from before I left for the sun.

A video is online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIui7lSv ... e=youtu.be

Have fun,
Art

now if you can put a 60 degree helix in the lobes you can can compete with the first Eaton supercharger 
though the lobe shape was a little different due to weight and boost.

hmmm.wouldnt a helix on the lobe make them leak..?... Ill have to think about that one..

Art

WOW!!!
Love the NEW opening screen Page Art.

Answers the question of if anyone noticed... lol

I down loaded and installed the latest version and my problem of not being able to get beyond the splash has changed now it shows the splash and then it disappears with out any messages, it is just gone????  Dan

What about an option for a rectangular (conventional metal) or semicircular (round 3D printer filament) seal recess on the apex?  Will GT's plating include housings for roots blowers?  It'd need a clearance option for the seal.

Do that and a future improvement could be a Wankel rotor and housing...

  Apex of what? Not sure I understand the question?

Dan:

  I cant remember now, what was the last diagnostic message in our previous testing? Seems to me your system fails
on a specific thing.. OpenGL initiation I think...?

Art

Art, OpenGL initiation was the issue. I would reinstall windows but not sure I know what I am doing and the computer is been running along time and MTBF is looming and I don't want to push my luck. I am saving my penny s for a new one soon and that will be the time I get serious about gears. Thanks Dan

Dan:

  Yes, I remember now. I think till you change the video card or upgrade your probably out of luck.
Or at least I cant think of anything that coudl help ..other than maybe a OS reinstall, and that
seems drastic..
