First electrical power output from a Pyramid

[olivier]

Skywatcher is right!

The angles should be independent of the tube size, as long as the tube is quadratic.

duhh - Yes your correct....

Thanks for the help guys!

I'm trying to look for all the inside information to model the rest and create a visual.  I have a hard time trying build something from reading, but if I have something visual it is easy.  Is there any close-up images that describe the inside section, and a schematic for wiring?  I wonder if it would be better to construct some type of joint, then cutting metal wouldn't be needed.  I also wonder if they sell a metal pyramid already made, something like this - http://www.dowsing.com/Pyramid/medit.htm

For a 20mm square bottom frame I came out with 14.1mm for the side bars at a 45? angle.

Someone wanted the 3 pdf files for the V6 : skizze2.pdf, skizze3.pdf, skizze4.pdf
These I found :

http://test.kumberg.net/skizze3.pdf
http://test.kumberg.net/skizze4.pdf

I wish luck to those who are working !

@duff
Thanks for bringing up this topic I was also struggling with those angles.

@Olivier
Thanks a lot for your measurements they rock. Just build another paper prototype (third  one ) with 35 and half deg bottom cut and top fits almost ideally. I start to feel to be ready to cut real tubes.

>>Also i think I was ripped off by local hobby shop 6.80euros for meter of square tubes. Bastards.
>I guess you are speaking about the shop whose name has 3 characters and begins with 'O'.  Wink
Sorry maybe I'm a just tired or we are just from other countries but I could not guess it. But is does not matter I'll never shop there anymore.

all the best,
Marcel
