AI Thread Summary
Using a smog pump as a supercharger for a modified lawn mower vehicle is being explored, with a focus on designing and modeling a blower system. The user seeks guidance on calculating the necessary air volume and is struggling to find specifications on the pressure and flow rates of smog pumps. The engine in question is a twin-cylinder 180 opposed with a hydrostatic transmission. The discussion emphasizes the need for more technical details and formulas to proceed with the project. Overall, the inquiry highlights the challenges of adapting automotive components for unique applications.

good morning all,

I have been thinking about building a "blower" for a strange modified lawn mower based vehicle I built. What I was wondering about was using a smog pump. is there a simple formula that would tell me if the volume of air needed? I am also having trouble trying to find any specs on pressure and flow out of one of these things. I am thinking simple blow thru.

the engine is a twin cylinder 180 opposed with a hydrostatic trans

thanks

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
