    Anybody with understanding of how Air pressure regulators function?

    Excellent, thanks! That covered most of what I needed to know about the pressure regulators. I didn't end up seeing anything about how that changes how much air is flowed. It limits the pressure of the air comming out, so wouldn't that also mean the amount of air flowed would be substaintially...

    Anybody with understanding of how Air pressure regulators function?

    As title dipicts I'm wishing to understand the relationships between CFM and PSI in regards to Air Regulation. For example let's say I had a compressor tank with a compressor connected to it, to fill it to 200 PSI. I connect an X diameter Air line to an air regulator, and than have its...

    Looking for input of other peoples opinions on the relationship of CFM and PSI?

    Cool. You guys have been a huge help. Ill post my design in a couple weeks with pictures so you guys see what I'm doing. I have all the info I need, I just have to finish putting the setup together, and flow bench it. Take it easy, and have an e-beer on me :P Peace!

    Looking for input of other peoples opinions on the relationship of CFM and PSI?

    One more Question. If I had a 1 gallon tank with a compressor that can compress at 250 PSI, and released it with a regulator at 10 psi, does that mean it could continue to push out 10PSI for (X) amount of time (the gallon worth) if it wasn't "chargeing/compressing"? So in comparison, if with a...

    Looking for input of other peoples opinions on the relationship of CFM and PSI?

    Hey. As the title dipicts, is there any relationship between CFM and PSI, linear or non-linear? Any mathamatical relationship either? CFM (cubic feet per minute) is a volume over time, and PSI (lbs per square inch) is a weight essentially over an area. So I take it, there's no real way to...

    Revolutionizing Electric Cars: A New Innovative Idea

    Your talking about using the axles as the shaft essentially of the Generator? It would be like adding alternator/s along your shaft, so as your moving your generating a current. The thing is about generators, that they add load. So depending on the build of the Generator, it could be a great...

    Calculating Airflow and Pressure in a Fan-Funnelled Tube: Is There a Formula?

    Nice, I couldn't have summed it up as readable as that. Hey russ, do you know a lot about compressors? I was wondering if you could explain the relation of CFM and PSI. Cubic feet/minute, and LBS/square inch. One is volume over time, and one is weight over area. Is this a linear relationship? or...

    Calculating Airflow and Pressure in a Fan-Funnelled Tube: Is There a Formula?

    Neat idea. Have you tried Rolling your tubes ie, snail shell sort of design, or funnle I guess? I believe that acceleration is a big part of this idea of yours. Your main issue here is the losses your going to have with the use of the axial fan. The axial fan's don't compress air. Your using...

    Interested in Understanding Limitations to 12V DC battery applications

    No, the opposite. I want to run a 24V dc motor off a 12V dc power system. I'm sure if they make those, they make step-up versions (convert 12 vdc power to 24vdc) Thanks! those are a touch pricey, but the idea is what I'm looking for.

    Interested in Understanding Limitations to 12V DC battery applications

    Would anybody be able to suggest a forum that is specific to dc power/motors? As above states. I was wondering if anybody here had any suggestions to a forum that would be better suited for dc motor/ dc supply theory/physics? thanks again for any help anybody may provide!

    Interested in Understanding Limitations to 12V DC battery applications

    Heh, thanks for the non constructive critism. Like I've said... It works, there's no question, my alternator puts out 200 amps as opposed to the typical stock 90amps. So I have an extra 100 amps+ of potential unused FREE energy . I know parasitic lag from the alternator exists but we are only...

    Interested in Understanding Limitations to 12V DC battery applications

    Intercooler is already part of the plan. I have all that I just need the power supply I have the system built already, EFInd (electrically forced induction) like I said, its built on a flat board that simulates the size in my engine bay to fit the whole setup with the two odessy batteries even...

    Interested in Understanding Limitations to 12V DC battery applications

    Well, I'll explain what I'm doing and see if your all able to expand upon my thoughts Heres the scenerio without all the science. I have a DSM turbo (14B) off a mitsubishi. The bad part about regular turbo systems is the heat they generate using the exhaust to power the turbo. I would like to...

    Interested in Understanding Limitations to 12V DC battery applications

    In a 12V dc typical car how could you possibly obtain a 24 volt power source that would charge off the existing alternator, without upgrading the entire car to run off the 24V power source? In the engine bay I would like to have access to 24Vdc power so was hoping I could either install two...
