Chapter 30 (1/2)
After they settled things with Brian, Donne went straight back to the Lord's house.
”Lord, are these enough horsetails you want?”
The maid trembled and carried a plate with a bunch of washed horsetails on it.
”That's enough, thanks.”
Donne grabbed the horsetail and prepared to go upstairs. When he went up the stairs, he suddenly turned back and said, ”by the way, tell others not to disturb me before dinner.”
”Ming, I see.”
After the order, Donne didn't go to Fiona and went straight back to his room.
Now he doesn't have his own alchemy laboratory, so he can only make do with it in his bedroom.
”Now, let me see the potential of magic.”
Tang en rubbed his hands and showed an excited smile. He has arranged a magic array to isolate induction in the room. Small magic experiments will not be perceived by the outside world, so that he can feel at ease.
To realize the stamping machine, one of the main problems is the power source, and the other is the programmable control center. It should not only have the function of opening and closing, but also have the function of controlling the frequency and strength of the hammer. Now, the only solution to solve this problem is to use various magic arrays.
Coincidentally, with his current magic strength, he can completely decompose and reorganize all kinds of magic arrays to achieve his purpose.
The power on earth can be roughly divided into electric power and internal combustion engine. Don doesn't need to think about electric power for the time being. Although there is a magic array that can generate electric power, the energy source is simpler and cleaner. He also knows the basic physical knowledge of electromagnetic conversion, which can completely realize electromagnetic conversion to drive machinery, but the biggest problem is... He can't find a magnet at all!
So the only thing he can finally consider is mechanical work.
The principle of internal combustion engine is also very simple. As I said before, the most fundamental principle is that high temperature causes air expansion to do work. However, it is simple to say, but it is difficult to do. First, prandal is now difficult to find suitable and low-cost materials to make combustion chambers. Ordinary metal materials are not durable, and magic metals are too expensive
Secondly, if the processing technology here is not reached, the service life of the piston will be very short and the accident rate will be very high.
So the fire magic array is not considered.
Soil system and water system are difficult to play a role in this regard. Although water system magic can be used as one of the power sources of hydropower, what Donne should consider now is miniaturized devices.
”The only power source that can be considered is wind magic...”
Donne rubbed his chin and a whirlwind roared in his palm.
In fact, the wind magic array can indeed be used as one of the power sources, because it is different from the earth. The conservation law here is invalid, and part of Newton's three laws are also invalid, at least in the micro situation - Donne feels that this is the most incredible point.
No matter what kind of spell it is, when it is cast, Donne can clearly feel that there is no material reduction around him - only his magic pool is reduced. On the contrary, the increased things are the emerging spells, earth, water, fire and wind, and arcane spells.
For another example, the most common arcane skill, the hand of a mage.
The mage can use the mage's hand to catch himself in the air - pick himself up and really TM can do it in prandar!
However, using the air system spell as the power source of the press also has the previous problem, the process of the blast chamber and the piston
”If only I had studied mechanical engineering in College...”
Donne couldn't help sighing. As an ordinary person, his level is similar to that of the most common college graduates. He can only remember vaguely. It's not enough to be specific to the details. Now he can only grope slowly.
”Wait! Is there something wrong...”
Donne suddenly had a flash of inspiration and pinched the whirlwind in his hand: ”shit! I'm really confused. Why do you have to study the power source...”
Donne made the mistake of empiricism again. On the earth, all kinds of machinery need to convert the power source - the work of electric power and internal combustion engine - into mechanical energy, but this is not the earth!
This is prandal!
If you can solve the problem directly with magic, why do you have to make a detour!?
”I want the punch to work and consider the complex power dry hair!? as long as the ram can rise and fall normally for stamping!”
Just for a moment, Donne had a clear idea. In a word, it was like eating ginseng fruit. All his pores were unobstructed.
In addition to the wind spells indirectly becoming the power source, there are also various Arcane spells that can be considered to do work directly. It is also possible to do work directly with the master's hand, but the efficiency is too low.
”Transfiguration, or gravity!”
After filtering the arcane spells, Donne finally decided to choose one of the two spells.
Some people may wonder that the gravity spell can make the ram suspend and fall freely after closing. The collision can be understood, but... What the hell is deformation?
In fact, the reason is very simple. Simple deformation is useless, but with a lever principle, you can understand.
A small metal ingot suddenly appeared in Donne's hand. If Brian saw it, he would go crazy immediately.
That's a dragon steel!
