4. It seems that Bob is reluctant to comment on proposed wiring architecture. Many have tried to improve upon his proven designs but few succeed. It will not hurt to post your wiring diagram. |
Let me clarify my position.
Virtually all elegant solutions that achieve
a design goals are an iterative process. They
evolve as understanding grows, new materials
become available, old decisions are discarded/
modified to more nearly align with the goal.
When a new architecture is being proposed,
the questions I like to ask:
* Have you reviewed the published Z-figures?
* Is there an architecture that comes close but
does not meet your design goals?
*Have you 'gelled' your design goals to the extent
that they can be offered as a supporting narrative
to your 'new' architecture?
* Finally, do you understand the failure tolerant
design philosophy that all but guarantees you to
be free of bad electrical days in the cockpit?
* If a Z-figure is close but suffers a functional
deficiency for your mission requirements, how's the
best way to tweak the architecture?
The majority of participants here on the List do
understand failure tolerance. They're also privy to
all of the iterations that drove evolution of the
Z-figures (some have been revised a dozen times
or more).
Based on experience we can confidently assert
that the tangles have been pretty well combed out
of the Z-figures. But that doesn't mean than new
ideas, materials and processes won't cause them
to be modified again . . . perhaps many times in
the future.
I personally welcome any suggestions as to how
we may improve on the art and science of our
craft. But on several occasions, we have been
asked to evaluate a totally new configuration
from a builder that is worried about some pretty
small details . . . when in fact, there is risk
for some LARGE failures to maintain failure
tolerance.
These exercises can be time consuming and
I've got plenty of stuff on my plate. Please know
that my reluctance to engage in detailed studies
of new architectures has nothing to do with a
'not invented here' syndrome; and everything
to do with hours in the day.
There are lots of learned, cool heads on the List
who can help move the discussion along.
