That is an interesting experiment. I just dont get why spend time using a centrifugal pump. Centrifugal pumps are meant for higher head low flow compared to axials. You could have picked up an axial pump from an old jet ski and hooked up any motor you want (or just the old jet ski motor). I like the ingenuity but if you had looked at a fluids book before doing this you could have got a lot more out of it. Like said even modifying your piping arrangement would help a lot.
Very nice !!! LOL you had someonelse guinea pig for you I see (btw did Big Rick get danger pay? lol)....well done...now you just need a bigger motor to get more speed out of her. ;)
Alright !!!! Not bad at all, Did you leave the 1 1/2 " reducer on or have you experimented with it yet? Anyway, It ranks you way on up there in the "Redneck" World, Congrats, 5 stars to ya {:-)
