More Experimenting

Now then, you saw the engine experiment last week, but this week, I have a different one for you.

Investigate the velocity at different points through a venturi meter.

You just put about 5 or 6 manometers on a venturi meter, and take the values of it, then measure the flow rate. Do some calculations, think bernoulli's, and plot the points on a graph. I think the results would suprise thouse that haven't done this experiment before.

Anyway, I appologise for the lack of posting this week, I've just been a little busy...

Single Cylinder 4-stoke Engine

An experiment... 5 Horsepower engine connected to a dynamo meter with a fuel supply and all the whistles and bells. The engine was throttled at differing rpm and readings of Torque, Exhaust temperature, Air Flow, and Fuel Consumption were taken. Its amazing how interesting this experiment actually is, if you haven't done it, I'd strongly recommend you find the means to do it.

Many things can be found out from engines, espically if you do not normally work with engines.

Anyway, back to work
