Headed out to Houston for TTPOA Next Week

I am headed out to Houston next week to meet up with our Texas based rep for the TTPOA conference. If your planning on going to this make sure you come by our booth so we can show you the MaxFlo 3D can and how it functions.

For the first time in a long time your innovative design is an inspiring eye opener!

Your 'jet engine' design using helical and cross hole turbulent flow
to achieve fluid logic sound reduction deserves a standing 'O'.

Would be happy to see a YouTube clip of your machining these magnificently
complex contours in the vein of Ray Brandes's machining the superlative
S&W 41 threaded barrel. Metal Porn.

What an astronomical leap machining has progressed from having first seen
the computer ( IBM 709 ) control of a milling machine designed in 1960,
joint team of MIT ME & ESD lab, milling a partial 'monkey-saddle'
into a triangular aluminum plate to form an ash tray for the ASM conference.

Yours and the OSS designs are taking silencer development to next
level.

For grins could you meter the shooting of .22 through your can for a calibration
point. It could inspire new thinking in the next generation .22 cans.

Again, sincere compliments and much success.


Best.

They do appear to be pushing a new envelope.

As for the metering, TQTH has tentatively agreed to meet up with a pack of independent testing hooligans in GA soon so maybe they can grant your wish.

I sent these two ideas along with your compliments on up the chain.

Super news.

Their excellent design and artistic machining is a successful reification of a 1968 sketch when computer controlled milling/turning went from a 'wet dream' to evolving into a reality.

The 'pencil' sketch design involved using fluid logic where a minimum of
cross flow could divert massive jets. An example was a non-moving part that caused oscillations
in the main flow.

With 3-D metal printing in the near future the world of innovative can design can be contemplated.

Following up on the innovative MaxFlo 3D design discussion and its pointing to next
generation cans there is an article in May-June 2018 "American Scientist",
p.182 on graphenes, especially showing what MIT researchers have found:

"...when subjected to heat or pressure, graphene takes on
a complex shape called a gyroid* which
is three-dimensional but riddled with holes or pores... The combination
of strength and porosity my make graphene suitable
for the manufacture of new, lightweight construction materials."

In the August 1968 Frankford Arsenal Report "Silencers_ Principles and
Evaluations", R-1896, p. 31-36, is an article of an experimental can made with material of porous
metal. .22s fired from a High Standard resulted in ~ 103 Db ratings. Unfortunately the
material clogged up quickly.

With novel suppressor innards, extending/modifying the MaxFlo concept incorporating graphene gyroid
packing, could result in next-generation significant lowering of Db.

Teflon or the new surface cooking surfaces show the ease of cleaning such non-sticking
surfaces. Graphene gyroids 'seasoned' with some-yet-to-be determined metals
such as Ti, Al, even Au, might produces an easily flush cleaned 'water-filter' cartridge can.

Noticed that in the back of my Report R-1896 was a series of sketches and musing of
using such 3D topological surfaces for cans back in the late 60's. : )
