Well, why don't you just...
drop in a 6000 Shaft Horsepower Allison T56 Turboshaft Engine and then...
seriously though, these pages have been the funniest I have read in a while guys. Thanks for the laughs. |
Someone didn't pay attention in chemistry
I was reading the post about freezing the tank someone is sorely mistaken. Maybe you meant psi instead of lbs. If you put 70 lbs of air in a tank and then drop temp of the tank 50 degrees, there is still 70 lbs of air in the tank, the weight won't change at all. What will change is the psi on the tank. I'm going to give an example using the equation pv=nrt. where p=pressure, v=volume, n=number of moles of gas, r= universal gas constant=~.083, t=tempeture in kelvin=celcuis temp+273.
Were going to use the metric system too because it makes stuff so much easier. So we start with a tank that holds 100 liters of air at STP(0 degrees celcius, 1 atm) according to pv=nrt; 1atm*100liters=n*.083*273. Therefore there are 4.41 moles of air. If we don't add any more air, there will always be 4.41 moles of air in the tank. We now drop the tempeture 100 degrees celcius and look for the new pressure on the tank. pv=nrt p*100liters=4.41*.083*173, the new pressure on the tank is only .633 atm. Therefore you can put more cold air in at a lower tempeture. But the reason i wrote all this is to say that the number of moles, which is directly proportional to weight, doesn't change when you drop the tempeture. The only thing that will effect the poundage of the air tank is the volume of air you put in it. Cooling the tank only allows you to put more air in at a lower pressure. |
I think you misunderstood him. I am 99.9% sure he was referring to pressure, not weight. Pressure is measured in pounds as well. (PSI)
Take care, ~Chris |
I kinda thought so, but i mean there is a huge difference between pounds (lbs) and pounds per square inch(psi)
|
The way I read it was that the tank has a certain pressure limit and that by lowering the temperature you could fit more air in as measured by weight within the pressure limits.
The problem with that is that the tank could burst if you couldn't control the temperature precisely enough. |

if anyone here is interested i have a 1&1/2 hp portable compressor bolted to a ram air hood with a 1/4 mile long extension cord its good for at least a tenth

This Idea can work!! But it is not worth it.
If you had a tank that was large enough to hold all the air that your motor was going to use and it was sealed to the intake much like a blower. with a regulator to regulate pressure it would work. But the problem is you would need a tank that is about the size of your Car for one pass down the track with some serious Psi in it . IE: waste of time . I got an Idea just get a peice o flexable Tube 3 inches around and 1320' long hook it to your intake and hook it to a huge tank on the starting line with 200psi in it YAH! BABY now thats boost.LOLOLOLOL:rolleyes: :D |
O.K. I know how to make this work!!
we need to be able to pressurize the engine via air under high pressure. We have two options, A) carry a HUGE Air Tank around with us possibly on a trailer and spend thousands on our electric bill compressing it beforehand. OR B) Compress the air at the engine using the air already around us!! Now, how can we do that? We can bolt on a gigantic air compress that runs off an electical system. of course we will need to trailer a generator and/or hundreds of lbs of batteries becuase the alternator we hvae is WAY too small. WAIT!!! why not ditch the motor driving the compressor and hook it up to the engine somehow!! Like a pulley on the crankshaft!! Hmmmm... this sounds like it already exists.... IT IS CALLED A SUPERCHARGER!! |
