Interesting. Well XPS is polystyrene. It is soluble in acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and similar. You can make a glue by dissolving XPS...
Interesting. I'll do that. Yeah spruce is cheap as hell. Well the foam cutter arrived so I'll probably do a test beam soon. Searching local...
That sounds correct. Bond strength is an another thing I haven't addressed yet. PS has lower surface energy than PVC, so it would bond worse to...
Sounded like a good idea at start. Now the more I learn/calculate the more I see that core shear is a big issue if the foam density is low....
If you make the sandwich panel thicker, it automatically becomes also stiffer. But yes, I'll do calculate that as well. :)
Yes, that's what I've found when I did the calculations, that the limiting factor is shear strength of XPS, but still it would be kinda cool to be...
I've checked this hydraulic jack IRL yesterday. [IMG] It costs 12,34 € and underneath you have two holes with threads. One is covered with "DO...
This is a good site for all the mechanical movements: 507 Mechanical Movements http://507movements.com/ I think with a flexible shaft you can...

OK finally I got Bureau Veritas on the phone. They said the check is 340 € + travel expenses. That if I build it for myself I just send the plans...
Welcome to Slovenia. ^.^ You know, Austria-Hungary was all about bureaucracy. We keep the tradition alive.
OK, I did the phone call today. :/ Well, apparently the process is "very simple", but even if the boat is < 3 m, I have to do the certification...
OK, I got a reply on the e-mail and they said it's very simple but that I should call them tomorrow so that they fully explain to me everything. \o/
I've found a kinda cool book to read. Cellular solids : structure and properties:...
I know for cars if you do the technical (MOT) check in an another EU country, the other EU country must approve that too. Some do that here, they...
I've sent an email today to the Slovenian Maritime Administration. I'll see what they'll say. Yes, there's a Slovenian forum on boating. Features...
