The design of the Housai and M-14P generators are different in how the lower bearing
on the generator is oiled. Hence, the pinion drive gear is different.
I have attached three pictures of the M-14P pinion drive gear here. Note the gear
has a metal plug at the base. The Housai gear does not.
In the B&C application, this metal plug serves two purposes:
1) it keeps oil out of the bottom of the alternator during aerobatics (a very good
thing), and;
2) it provides support to the male shaft that fits into the female splined part
of the pinion gear. Without this support, the male shaft, due to gravity, vibration,
etc will fall out of the shear coupling that is on the alternator. When
this happens, the alternator stops spinning (now you are flying off battery
power only). This can also cause the shear coupling in the B&C design to fail.
(the shear coupling is replaceable and is there to protect the engine in the
rare case of a bearing in the alternator seizing).
Bill (owner of B&C) was considering making an injection moulded male shaft with
a collar on it that would prevent the shaft from falling out of the shear coupling.
This only solves item 2. However, he did have one customer who had a
hole worn thru the metal plug after many hours of flying. So, the injection moulded
part was to prevent this from happening. What is unknown is what the wear
on the collar may/will be.
I hope this helps.
Craig

Wow. that is great if they reformulated the stuff the sell at Home Depot. They
used to make two products (an aircraft version and an industrial version) and
the Home Depot variety was corrosive to aluminum. In looking at their web site,
it looks like they simply dropped the corrosive version in their product
line.

Bought a gallon yesterday. Under the ProHD label, though it still says simple
green. Works great. Says non-corrosive. About $14/gallon.

I support the idea. It allows us to see what else is out there without tur
ning this "exchange of ideas" list into something different.

Subject: Yak-List: Commerce
It has never been clear to me what the position of the list is in relation
to commercial activities. On one hand I have seen that it is supposed to
be a forum for exchange of ideas etc=2C and NOT for anything commercial=2C
but on the other hand I see blatantly commercial postings.
Clearly I am myself in the Yak business=2C although fortunately do not have
to live totally from it=2C but it does seem to me that there is a need for
a "commercial" Yak list=2C where people can post products=3B aircraft=3B c
omponents etc.
I have no idea what people generally think of this - is it a good idea?
