Setup The second part of the ram air effect investigation involves covering the opening of the Eventuri air scoop. The drive speeds were repeated as with the first test and results compared. Results The results are not conclusive, but there seems to be a VERY slight improvement in pressure with the opening unobstructed. In the […]
In a previous post the setup for ram air testing was described. Before collecting data the addition of a piece of foam to the intake was made to ensure that ram air at the inlet to the intake would be maximized for each operating condition. Pressure readings at the intake were made at the following
One theory about air intakes is that some of them take advantage of a ram air effect. This potentially applies to the Eventuri intake that I am currently using or APR intake that I previously had. It is also a concept that is linked to the supposed benefits of the air scoop that I tested previously.
