Amazing and interesting articles again. Great skill. I’m going to cut the centre out of my cover. Just got to work out how to dome the dust cover without messing it up.

Phenominal !!!, All your work paid back. What's the power loss though ???. Here's a curve ball; What's the power gain with no fan and open / ducted cooling and perhaps electric fan at idle -low speeds. almost 48 years ago; I had a Sachs 50 motor ; I removed the fan ; installed engine in mini bike. Has to be some loss. BTW chasing 100mph; utilise wind flow huh.

Great videos, thanks! Just a quick question: what about the counter-Venturi cone, stamped in the centre of the flywheel cover grill? Have you ever checked whether it increases the air flow or not? Cheers
@TheSteelweasel

the grill reduces air flow , the stamped center dosnt seem to do much only an obstuction mate . cut out the center and dome the dust cover seems to give good results and costs nothing .....

Nice work Steve. As an after thought, would the hole in the cover change the ms values if the hole was larger vrs smaller?

the hole needs to match the fan is the most efficient mate .

Why don’t they make these bell housed fan cowlings. Especially with results like this. I’d like to make one myself, I just don’t have the time. You should try and get someone to make these for you and sell it.

If there was a market for 100+ units of the cover sets would you consider subbing the work to a company who moulds plastics?. Just a thought.

Hi, are you using a rev counter to make sure the engine is ticking over at the same revs on each test? Difference in fan weight will make a difference.
@TheSteelweasel
3 жыл бұрын
sip rev counter mate ..... but its impossible to maintain exact revs , thinking of building a proper test bed with electric motor , its the only way to be accurate . thats why im using meters per second . testing at 2500 rpm .... the only thing with electric is it makes boring vids people like smoke and noise its entertainment at the end of the day ......

@@TheSteelweasel I get what ya doing and think it’s great Steve but sometimes the engines don’t sound like there running at the same speed and the anemometer looks like it’s at different distances from the Venturi which all have a bearing on its fan speed. We would all love to know the optimum cooling setup and Get VFM. I think you may be doing the legwork and R&D for BGM and others to make a quick buck. The centre piece engineering was a revelation and I think there’s lots more to come utilising the aerodynamics of the fan shroud and blade configuration.
