    engine question... chilled air intake?

    is the liquid injection a "spray" onto the intercooler? my first idea was more for non turbo applications. Like an intake on steroids, but I can see that spraying intercoolers must heavily drop the temp of incomming air. I know generally a non "sprayed" intercooler only adds about %1 efficiency...

    wierd question.. need help creating virbation resistant stand for a "whole body" vibration

    With all of the insight I got from you guys I will go with my first assumption as to not continue trying to solve a problem that should have been thought of in the first place. For the price and especially how much it actually vibrates its been out of my ball park from the get go. I can fix...

    wierd question.. need help creating virbation resistant stand for a "whole body" vibration

    definately agree. I was even thinking about adding springs rubber on ea end of springs, under the steel plate on my first "trampoline" idea. for added stability under the plate to keep it from rocking aswell. The trampoline springs would be rubber coated also so there is not much spring noise. I...

    engine question... chilled air intake?

    ah makes sense (rb1957) due to the loss of about 10-15 hp with compressor running anyways? And KENAT ya more or less but it only cools the air with passing air not "chilled" air. they have intercooler sprays either nitrous or another fluid I forget now but there only temporary boost of colder...

    engine question... chilled air intake?

    using either a chemical thats stays colder than ambient air (if such a thing readily available) or coiled copper tubing flowing compressed refridgerant all the way around the intake for increased hp? Just throwing this idea out been dreaming it up for a while now. Other sensors would need to be...

    wierd question.. need help creating virbation resistant stand for a "whole body" vibration

    Very good idea IRstuff, I forgot to mention he happens to be on a fouth floor of an old wooden floored building. I have mentioned to him that I think moving would be the best idea, but he also sells these to people (not sure how many hope not alot) so he was also looking for a commercial...

    wierd question.. need help creating virbation resistant stand for a "whole body" vibration

    yes there is lower settings, and vibration is not as bad at those settings but the person manufacturing these machines wants an all out solution at every speed. Thats been the issue because my first introduction to the machine I simply said why not make the max speed closer to the half speed. He...

    wierd question.. need help creating virbation resistant stand for a "whole body" vibration

    I couldnt agree more. From the floor up I very much dislike this idea. Rubber dampening on shafts connected to board would have worked. Rubber matting under drive motor would help. I thik my best option at this point would be to respectfully bow-out. Its beginning to be quite a project for a bad...

    wierd question.. need help creating virbation resistant stand for a "whole body" vibration

    Thank you for the input, I definately did experience a very strange feeling after using it. The vibration causes a kind of numbness and "sea legs" almost. The vibration is so bad now that im thinking anything less will help. Simply just not a fully thought out design. The customer has tried...

    wierd question.. need help creating virbation resistant stand for a "whole body" vibration

    first off I dont like the idea of the machine nor do I believe it works but I have been recruited to create something to dampen the vibration. Here are the specs, and max user weight 250lbs Model: EOS 6600 Commercial Vibration type: Oscillating (seesaw) Amplitude: 0-10 mm Color: Silver / Gray...
