The Ivor
Bittle website.
For:- theory of sailing, modelling a Thames sailing barge, model steam plant, the bulbous bow, the paddle wheel, the practical aerofoil, model racing yachts.
This website is for those who think that it is worth understanding how a mechanical device works before it is designed.
It is about topics that have interested me to the point where I think that I have something useful to say that fits in with recognised science.
They are :-
1 The
theory of sailing as applied to a yacht, (read section 12 first)
2 Modelling a Thames sailing barge,
3
The miniature steam plant fired by gas,
4
Book: The R C Racing Yacht Explained,
5
The model wing-sailed yacht,
10
Scale speed, stability and prop selection for scale model boats
11
Making human figures for model boats
12 The problems of
understanding sails
13
A text-book of fluids for engineers
