Plane Designers learn from Birds

February 8th, 2008 by

Birds, bats and insects fly in a chaotic environment full of gusts traveling at speeds similar to their own. Yet they can react almost immediately and adjust with their flexible wings. Roland Piquepaille points out a news release from the University of Michigan where researchers are looking to birds and bats for insights into aerospace engineering. Wei Shyy and his colleagues are learning from solutions developed by nature and applying them to the technology of flight.

The roll rate of the aerobatic A-4 Skyhawk plane is about 720 degrees per second. The roll rate of a barn swallow exceeds 5,000 degrees per second. Select military aircraft can resist gravitational forces of 8-10 G. Many birds regularly experience positive G-forces greater than 10 G and up to 14 G. Flapping flight is inherently uneven, but that’s why it works so well.

How to tune a bike DIY

Most of us who ride bike daily often feel that bike is not performing like it used to when it was new. You get it serviced and it becomes ok for sometime then again the same sluggishness. This is due to clogged carburetor jets which you can yourself clean. To do it, first clean the bike for any dirt. Wash the whole bike if necessary then carefully detach all the cables like accelerator, choke, and sensors from the carburetor and then remove air filter. Now remove it from the engine too and take out the carburetor apart.

Examine the type of your carburetor and clean it with petrol from outside so that it becomes shining new. Now make sure every tool you use like screwdriver etc and your hand itself are clean and dirt free because now you are going to open it. At the bottom of carburetor, you will find a cover with four screws. Remove these screws and keep them at safe place.

After opening it, you will find a plastic part inside which will look like two small drums attached together. It’s called float. Remove it and then you will see two jets as marked in picture above. Using a clean wrench, take out both of these jets and wash then with petrol. Look though the fine hole of the jet and using a single hair of electric wire, poke it so that you can see the light thru the hole. Fit the jets back to their place and using a paint brush (thick) clean the whole carburetor from inside using petrol. Now fit the float and put the cover back.

You have done the cleaning job now and its time to fir the carburetor back into bike and test. When you have fitted the carburetor, start the bike for first time using choke as the carburetor is dry. Adjust the engine RPM roughly and take the bike out for a short spin but enough to make engine hot. Yeah you will be feeling great now riding the bike. Now come back and adjust the engine RPM using a digital tachometer. If you don’t have it, buy it from any auto market as it’s easily available. Read the bike manual for correct RPM setting. Engine RPM setting is done when engine is hot. Your bike is fully tuned and ready. It will be a good idea to decarbonize the cylinder head and sparkplug if bike is a two stroke one and old.

Note: If you are new to such stuff, please do it under guidance of someone who is knowledgeable. Else I’ll not be responsible if your bike don’t start or become a petrol drinking monster!
