Magnet on air intake ???

[Andrewkb]

I've heard of placing magnet on the air intake ...

 

Wat's the rational in placing on the air intake pipe ?

 

My perception is that air intake pipe is thick and high flow rate ... as such, a small magnet (no matter how strong) cannot cover the whole intake pipe in full ...

Placing 2 magnets at opposite ends is also touch, since it will be difficult to mount it on the "far, unseen, bottom" end of the pipe.

 

Can someone please help enlighten ?

 

Thanks

That's a first for me . Maybe cool has heard of it

How about putting 20 magnets? Would that be strong enough?

Hi there AndrewKB

 

 

 

Air intake magnets are larger in surface area. They cover almost the circumference of the intake tube. And they are ususally very costly. There are other ways to enhance air intake then that. Here's a better author than me to explain things:

Nope...i have no probs..

Can liao ...

Me and Turbobrick has explored this before.. basically, air travel too fast to be magnetise and since it intangable.

 

Theoritically, if you "north" the air, then the fuel must be "south". For both to attract.

 

The magnets 1st Version Turbobrick did was base on this principle.

 

A simple test would be getting harddisk magnet.. put it around your air-intake hose, and give a try. I have tried this before (removing grounding and apollo).. no impact.

 

If I did work for me, I would have made the magnets and sold it to you all ..

 

cheers...

Hi there Cool

 

 

 

HD magnets are too weak to input any effect on the air velocity. You need one with at least 800gauss to make this work and this is only for a cross sectional area of 1 3/4 inches hose. Ferrite magnets are ideal in this case. Ferrite costs more than Neodynium, thus this is an option which renders uneconomical. Not that it doesn't work.
