Bespoke Foam Mouldings

This manual quickly takes the newcomer to r/c foam building techniques up to expert level. This completely revised edition describes the choice of foam, materials for strengthening and covering, tools and glues to create not only wings but also fuselages, cowlings, moulding and much more.

Physicist Sidney Perkowitz, whom the "Washington Post calls "a gloriously lucid science writer," exposes the full dimensions of foam in our lives, from cappuccino to the cosmos. Foam affects the taste of beer, makes shaving easier, insulates take-out coffee cups and NASA space shuttles, controls bleeding in trauma victims, aids in drilling for oil, and captures dust particles from comets. The foam of ocean whitecaps affects Earth's climate, and astronomers believe the billions of galaxies that make up the universe rest on surfaces of immense bubbles within a gargantuan foam. From the cultural uses of foam to the cutting edge of foam research in cosmology and quantum mechanics, Perkowitz's investigations will delight readers of Henry Petroski, James Gleick and Michio Kaku.

Metal foam - A metal foam is a cellular structure consisting of a solid metal - frequently aluminium - containing a large volume fraction of gas-filled pores. The pores can be sealed (in which case the foam is called a closed-cell foam), or they can form an interconnected network (in which case is known as an open-cell foam).

Memory foam - Memory Foam is made from polyurethane with additional chemicals that add to its viscosity level, thereby increasing the density of the foam. It is often referred to as visco-elastic polyurethane foam.

Lost-foam casting - Lost foam casting (LFC) is a type of investment casting process that uses foam patterns as the investment. The method takes advantage of the properties of foam to simply and cheaply form castings that would be difficult or impossible, using normal "cope and drag" techniques.

Foam path - A foam path is the aviation safety practice of spreading a layer of fire suppression foam on an airport runway prior to an emergency landing. Originally, it was thought this would prevent fires, but the practice is now discouraged.
