| Pfff... What? You wrote them an email telling them
| A little more than that . HugOn, I would suggest you go back to the beginning of this thread, and read. They are a local company, and asked the local helicopter community what we though of their "idea", and gave us some units to try.Their intention was to develop a working unit for a helicopter sized motor. Their engineering is flawed, for use on anything we would ever fly. Your pressure wave theory is nice, but not applicable to motors with blowers. If your argument were sound, don't you think someone in the last fifty years or so would have proved you right with a working model? Don't you think OS has not considered this at some point? It would take quite a bit more than RBInnovations fan and o-ring.| Quote |
| Everybody says that a supercharger won't work in a 2 strokes, but it does...
| You are correct. Detroit Diesel, the ONLY commercially successful two stroke/piston ported/ supercharged motor that I know of. The reason a Detroit Diesel works? Not shock waves, but by the use of exhaust valves . Detroit Diesel came on line in the 1950's, and is used still today in many applications. | Quote |
| Do you have other comments?
| Yes. One thing RBInnovations didn't think about, which tends to become a real issue, real soon. Fuel pressure. With "real" supercharged engines, that use the blow through the carb style of induction, we run a high volume electric fuel pump, with a fuel pressure regulator that is boost referenced. So as the boost is increased, so does the fuel pressure increase. Otherwise, if you had 8psi fuel pressure at idle/no boost, then added 9psi of boost, the fuel would be pushed back to the tank. Now, look at the RBInnovations model, and then answer this question: If the RBInnovations supercharger really made any boost at all, how is the fuel not pushed back into the tank? I know, I know! Shock wave. |
