I was away walking the West Highland Way this last week - beautiful.
But “I” (my pc and claude) did some of my best TRPT optimisation work while I was walking
Attached is the report
TRPT_AWE_Forum_Report_v3.docx (2.0 MB)
Disappointingly the v4 ring spacing optimisation diagram in the report seems to show rings equally spaced along the shaft , which is entirely not the point of what was learned or observed… should be rebuilt from the data when I get another bot with enough credit to churn through

OK the latest optimisation found that 8 lines gives a lighter system.
Looks like we’re going to want very skinny blades in that case to lower solidity.
Arrrgh so many factors / parameters
but it makes very pretty colourful simulations

I’ll push some new GitHubs later
there’s a new set of analysis tools for non geeks to follow soon.
The numbers are too dense to read as is… must make the dash more human
