AI Thread Summary
Using a smog pump as a supercharger for a modified lawn mower vehicle is being explored, with a focus on designing and modeling a blower system. The user seeks guidance on calculating the necessary air volume and is struggling to find specifications on the pressure and flow rates of smog pumps. The engine in question is a twin-cylinder 180 opposed with a hydrostatic transmission. The discussion emphasizes the need for more technical details and formulas to proceed with the project. Overall, the inquiry highlights the challenges of adapting automotive components for unique applications.

Welcome to the PF.

We do not do your schoolwork projects for you here at the PF. Show us what you have done so far...
 
good morning all,

I have been thinking about building a "blower" for a strange modified lawn mower based vehicle I built. What I was wondering about was using a smog pump. is there a simple formula that would tell me if the volume of air needed? I am also having trouble trying to find any specs on pressure and flow out of one of these things. I am thinking simple blow thru.

the engine is a twin cylinder 180 opposed with a hydrostatic trans

thanks

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
