[simpits-tech] Altimeter mod

[Craig Rochester]

Hey Alan,

Thanks for the compliment... probably more likely that I'll blow myself up. :-)

How's this chilly weather treating you? (0°F here in New England) :-o

  hi,

  i ALWAYS enjoy the manner in which you solve your mechanical problems.

  in all seriousness, this sort of genius could well propel you into the clever invention which could cause
you to retire prematurely with considerable wealth.

  i'm not kidding when i say this....

    I've modified a Kolisman altimeter to operate on compressed air.  I've reversed the operation by
puncturing the internal bellows, relieving the vacuum, and then resealing the bellows with solder.  Now the
altitude value indicated by the needles decrease with increasing pressure.
