Abstract: In the manufacture of a pipe part from fibre-reinforced thermosetting resin, such as a T-piece, preformed pipe parts made of fibre-reinforced thermosetting resin are placed on a mandrel defining the inside shape of the pipe part, the external surface of the mandrel being partially covered. The space between the mandrel and the inside of the pre-formed pipe parts is sealed and the parts of the pre-formed pipe parts adjacent to the uncovered part of the mandrel are chamfered on the outside. Synthetic resin impregnated fibres are then applied to the uncovered part of the mandrel and to at least the chamfered parts of the preformed pipe parts placed on the mandrel, until the pipe part has reached the desired final shape, after which it is cured and the mandrel is removed from the finished pipe part.

Abstract: A smooth cylinder is rotated about its vertically mounted axis with alternative provision for a horizontally mounted sphere affixed to its top. The superposition of the circulatory air flow thus created around the cylinder, and the fluid stream vector, results in a definitive and measurable lift via the Magnus effect. The orthogonal force thus generated totally identifies the horizontal component of the spatial fluid vector; and its vertical component can be determined from a similar effect on the sphere. The sensitivity of the device can be enhanced by increasing the rotation rate; and may be further augmented by employing a second similar device with its rotation in the opposite sense to that of the first. By this expedient, it is also possible to reduce the system to a purely deterministic system by the cancellation of the effects of drag and platform motion. In addition, the device is intrinsically resilient to the otherwise detrimental effects of rainfall, temperature and pressure variations.
