size to pipe does not effect pressure go back to school 800 psi running throiugh a half inch pipe is the same as 800 psi running through a 2 inch pipe, it only effects volume.

I'm going to send this link to my dad.....

@HybridWaterMan2 , Go to Angel Labs

@TMKSilenced that wasn't a referance to air pressure......... we were talking about a garden hose... what garden hose are you proposing air conditions a home? christ I am tired of people that think they know something then make complete asses of them selves running their mouth.

[TMKSilenced]

The pressure in most homes is not 35-45 psi. 45 psi is over 3 atmospheres. Most homes dont cycle in outside air so they are generally at atmospheric pressure but lets say you have a window unit, then yeah, slightly higher. by maybe 1-2 psi... if that. Commercial buildings have air quality codes (HVAC) to meet which require them to cycle in outside air. some rooms hold at higher pressure than others depending on quality requirements for a given room. but 16-19 psi is the most you'll see.

I think the person was referring to frictional losses, a larger diameter pipe or tube will incur less pressure drop when you have a viscous fluid flowing through it at the same initial pressure (Air is a viscous fluid) key word, durring flow and at the same initial pressure at the starting point. As to how he was trying to relate that to the conversation, I don't know.

@HybridWaterMan2 It has been run on a fuel (diesel? gasoline? not sure), but if there's any problem, it blows up and they have a hard time figuring out what went wrong. If there's a failure with compressed air, its much easier to figure out what went wrong. They don't have the cash to be blowing up engines.

[HybridWaterMan2]

I love this design, but it seems the only thing I have ever seen is it being run on compressed air. Has it ever been tested as a combustion engine or are there any videos showing that?

@silverbird58 It is similar. The point is that pressure & volume are different at the other end of a hose, depending on its diameter. A larger the hose is, the better it can maintain the pressure using more volume. Extreme example - lets say you run a 1/4 inch hose to your hose from the street. As soon as you turn on the water the pressure will drop to almost nothing. Now run a 1 inch & pressure will be close to that at the main. Supply pressure is always the same, end of the hose changes.

@silverbird58 well considering what his theory of the engine is it would be a torque monster. and would considerably decrease the size of engines as we know them to be so where he sets the compression,timing, volume of air and fuel to be compressed, will determine what it would do and the size of the engine and if it would need to be rpm limited. the nice thing is that there would be no head gaskets to blow. the only thing i would be concerned about is oiling,cooling.

yea tex i agree , also the inverse (overall ) is true too if you increase your pwer brake booster hose dia. or lenth .. the vaccum is still the same .. yet the EFFECT on the booster diaphram has lessend eventhough your vacuum gage says its high and steady.. perhapse this is simmular..

[silverbird58]

i agree ,and since he could statically put the comp ratio almost whereevery he needs it lets think he can move the power band and heat where its most needed maybe?
