I've wondered about the whole idea of belt drive; given that you must pull the prop to change same. I've pondered a smooth pulley in place of the existing one, then a rubber drive wheel on the alternator/vacuum pump etc.... I suppose icing may be an issue, as well as having to locate the accessories directly adjacent to the engine axis. The other way would be driving the belt with the back of engine pulley, but that has other issues... BTW, Real Soon Now, Detroit is promising everything will be electric-driven; water pump, power steering, air conditioning, you name it. They'll build a starter/ alternator into the flywheel/bell housing area. The engine won't idle; it will stop at red lights and restart when you hit the gas... Mine works that way now and it'son purpose. Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |
