One of the protective systems of a fortress gun 93 L52, caliber 15.5 cm. It disguises the thermal image with a water curtain. The chain curtain was already there at older cannons which are disused. Due to the ladder rungs, you can guess how big such a thing is. These facilities are still operational and classified, therefore no geotags. Rhine Valley, Switzerland, Feb 14, 2011.
Update: The guns were shut down in fall 2011, but not declassified.
All sizes please!
This an illustration of the firing mechanism I implemented in my DX CSWS, called 2DBolt. Main advantage of this system, is that there is more room for the barrel, without making the whole gun longer.
2DBolt:
-2 parts of instead of one are moving
-bolt moves in 2 dimensions (along the 'barrel line' and up/down)
Because of the fragility, system is isolated from the environment - caseless ammo eliminates need for ejection port and magazine with piston (see notes) seal it completely.
Arrows shows the resemblance to a bolt-action system (also, it is possible that 2DBolt is moved with a lever, not with electronics - then the arrows show the moving pattern)
If you wan't, you can use it, just credit me for the idea.

For those interested, this is our rain barrel system. We took video to explain it, haven't gotten around to editing it yet.
We have 7-55 gallon barrels all hooked together. They fill at the same time and drain together. We have one spigot to fill watering cans and a pump with another spigot for use with the hose or sprinkler.
There's an overflow as well, they're all hooked together and overflow into the downspout if they're full. We have a clear tube at the end so we can see how much water we have. The system is also easily expandable if we want to add more barrels, we think we can fit 7-10 more across the back of the garage.
One of the best things about this system is the cost. We only spent about $120 for the entire system (including deck). The deck was built with lumber we removed from the deck on our house, we wanted a smaller sized deck on the house. The barrels are food grade plastic barrels and cost us only $10 each (you want to make sure you don't get barrels that had chemicals in them). We spent about $50 on other materials, posts, PVC (we also had some of that sitting around that we used up).

The success of oyster hatcheries depends on good water quality each year. Virginia Sea Grant collaborators at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science Eastern Shore Lab and Virginia Tech Seafood Agriculture Research and Extension Center are developing a closed aquaculture system that will allow hatcheries to reuse water and protect their larvae from dips in water quality.

Several forces converged in the California car culture in the early post-WWII years to launch it to a new level of competition and development. Founded in 1937, the Southern California Timing Association had reconvened after the war and by 1949 had grown to include the Bonneville Salt Flats as an official venue for speed records; car clubs were propagating like never before, affecting intense rivalries and resulting in a new scoring system, and that same year coupes were allowed to compete for the first time in SCTA history against the more “exclusive” open roadsters. At the same time, engine technologies were advancing with the advent of the production overhead valve V-8, several versions of which could be modified with parts from a fledgling yet burgeoning speed-equipment industry.
At the center of this revolutionary maelstrom were the Chrisman brothers Art and Lloyd, whose father Everett had raised them on the fabricator’s art and the craftsman’s ethos, and with them founded the Chrisman and Sons garage in Compton. The Chrismans established their reputations early on with the famed #25 dragster, the first car to reach 140 and 180 mph in the quarter mile, and a 1934 Ford coupe that hit 140 on the salt at Bonneville.
All the experience gained by the Chrismans on both salt and asphalt came together in the 1930 Ford-based Bonneville racer that would set three different SCTA class records and become the template for the classic Competition Coupe that prevails to this day. Radically chopped, with a sharply laid-back windshield, mail slot windows and a slippery nose cone fabricated from two 1940 Ford hoods, the coupe was a beautifully aggressive-looking showcase for the Chrismans’ trademark technical and aesthetic skills, its mere appearance enough to intimidate the competition.
The car also featured innovative packaging, with the engine, transmission and rear end assembled as a modular unit placed behind the driver, who sat up front mere inches away from the windshield in a close-fitting cockpit whose ingress and egress required considerable flexibility. Instrumentation on the engine-turned dash panel allowed the driver to monitor engine RPM, oil pressure and water temperature. Driver protection was quite advanced, with a full roll cage, wide aircraft-surplus seatbelts and a floor-mounted fire extinguisher close at hand.
Built on a strong yet lightweight tubular steel frame, the coupe used a front axle and leaf spring suspension from a 1938 Ford. A solidly-mounted Halibrand quick change unit afforded the flexibility in gear ratios required by the planned use of a wide variety of engines, and rear-only drum brakes were operated by a hand lever in the cockpit. Behind the firewall, side-mounted five-gallon jerry cans held the engine coolant, another factor enabling the use of different powerplants. A roof-mounted scoop directed cold fresh air to the engine compartment, whose heat was vented through a multitude of louvers in the rear decklid. In typical Chrisman style, the bodywork, including a full bellypan, was painstakingly hand fitted for maximum streamlining, and then painted in Bronze metallic with Red trim.
As Hot Rod and other “gearhead” magazines were chronicling the clash between flathead and pushrod engines, the Chrismans arrived at Bonneville in 1953 with their outlandish new creation and three heavily modified Ford engines. The 304 CI Mercury from the #25 dragster was the first to run, taking the coupe to a one-way Class C mark of 163.63 MPH; after the Merc died from an overdose of nitro on its return pass, the brothers replaced it with another flathead fitted with Ardun hemi heads, setting a new class B record of 160.187 MPH. They installed another Mercury flathead for a second shot at the class C record, but tuning gremlins put an end to their efforts for that year’s event.
After appearing on the cover of Hot Rod’s February 1954 issue under the headline “The Most Fantastic Coupe”, the car returned that year with Chrysler Hemi power, setting new class B and C records at 180.87 MPH and 180.08 MPH respectively, and again in 1955, when they set the new D class record at over 196 MPH. The coupe was then retired, and the Chrisman brothers set their sights back on drag racing, where they continued their innovative and winning ways.
The Chrisman Brothers coupe was sold in the early 1960s to George Barris, who modified it for its new roles in television’s “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis” and on the traveling car show circuit. The transformation included White Pearl paint, gullwing doors to aid filming, Halibrand beanies with slicks and spoked front cycle wheels with trailing pontoons, making it almost completely unrecognizable as the former Bonneville record holder. After years on the show circuit, the car was returned to Art Chrisman, who restored it to its original form and installed an injected 331-inch Chrysler Hemi. It was then bought by Joe McPherson and placed on display in his famous Joe’s Garage.
In 2001 the Chrisman Brothers Coupe was one of the first crop of historic rods invited to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in the brand new “Famous Hot Rod Coupes” class, along with the Pierson Brothers' 2D Coupe, the So-Cal Speed Shop Coupe and the Mooneyham and Sharp '554' Drag Coupe. Prepared and accompanied by Art Chrisman, the Coupe was awarded third place in the category, a crowning moment for both the car and its creators.
Born at a turning point in the formative years of California’s hotrodding culture; a multiple class record holder and Hot Rod magazine feature car; one of the first “TV cars” and an inaugural Pebble Beach class winner, and in retrospect the very car that established the parameters for an entire automotive design genre, the Chrisman Brothers Coupe is one of the most important automotive icons in 20th century American popular culture.

Whilst doing this repair i found it was easier as
The Alternator had to be repaired to remove the diesel fuel filter
and to gain more room in order to remove the serpentine
Fan belt & Tension pulley system! This also involved removing
The top engine mounting, Using a separate car jack & wooden block under the sump to support the weight
I made a tensioner release tool using a large hex bolt cut down to square 13mm size
Thanks for viewing
