Nice reply - while we are on cool stuff - like Ferrari's playing Bach.
Your avatar? Is that a Fibonacci spiral? 1+1=2 2+1=3 2+3=5 3+5=8 etc. etc.
Well, almost. It is what you could call a Golden Spiral, based on the gold number, not on Fibonacci's series. At the "center" they coincide.RH1300S wrote:Nice reply - while we are on cool stuff - like Ferrari's playing Bach.

Did you really rip all her pictures? Now I see why you don't see the diamonds as a good alternative... c'mon, cheer up.pyry wrote:thats cool, now you never need to argue about girls, which one is better looking, all you have to do is measure their faces and come up with a "relative beautyfulity"... i dont think that my ex would appreciate me measuring her face, so why dont you ciro start?
im not sure how small his car is but pipes do workCiro Pabón wrote:Sorry to lengthen this even more, but I found this interesting. I downloaded the software from IWT. I tried small port sizes (2 mm). I found that the smallest chamber length the software gives you is around 650 mm, which is well over half a meter.
To my surprise, the chamber length the software delivers doesn't vary with different port sizes, only with changes in the time the exhaust port opens and the rpm. As this length is probably a function of the properties of the column of air, I would conclude there is no way to use expansion chambers in such small engine as yours, because your model car would seem ridiculous with a pipe bigger than the vehicle. On the other hand, this could be a software limitation, because it is clearly designed for bikes.
I wonder if someone with more experience in small engines can gives us a clue. BTW, every link I found refers you to G.P. Blair book on two stroke engines, that you can buy (with software included) at the SAE site.
To give this some resemblance of a thread, I found that MITRE has developed software to simulate engine noise (another link for me!) based on engine characteristics. Here you have an explanation that makes a beautiful comparison between exhaust pipes and organ pipes.
You could try to tune your model car engine to, let's say, G major, with a little "pizzicato". Then you could say: hey, this engine rocks! From now on I will think I hear some Bach music every time a Ferrari F1 passes...
