OMG! YOU FOUND ME OUT!Carlos wrote:Hope this isn't OT but Chris is one Willey Coyote. Reading his threads from the last few weeks is starting to make sense. It's like that scene in Apocalypse Now where Captain Willard says to Colonel Kurtz " Method? I don't see any method." Except in reverse. I do see a method ... if I'm wrong stick a newspaper between my cheeks and light it on fire! A vortex tube would lower the temperature of intake air for a denser mixture and a Tesla Turbine would pack it in the motor like a Turbo. That's his interest in the average air consumption of an engine. He's got to do his calculations. Did I get it right Chris?
I guess it wasn't blatantly obvious from the other thread where I said exactly that.
I was interested in using the Tesla Turbine to feed a vortex tube, and then feed the intake from the cold end.
But I know that to reach the approx. 350CFM needed, the turbine would need to be 8" in diameter, and 6" thick. And not to mention that the vortex tube would have to be 3"!!!
As I stated on the other thread, very clearly I may add, my intent now is to use a 3" turbine and a 1" vortex tube to feed 35CFM, or 10% of the total CFM usage, into the intake at -20C with the hopes that it increases horsepower.
I tell you what Carlos. When I build and test the first one, I'll send it to you for an independant evaluation. That way, you can tell EVERYONE that you have finally figured out what I was up to...
What a dip. I haven't done anything but ask some questions about feasibility on these boards before I invest money into a prototype. It is not as if I have manipulated the board members into developing anything for me, so what is your point?
