I'm not sufficiently educated on this stuff to properly describe the question. Sorry.
Consider the following. a primitive gauge is set up in order to observe the differential air flow between two sources. Assuming static pressure linearly corresponds to differences in flow. so balancing air flow is, for sake of argument, sufficient to determine vacuum balance. Just let that be a given for now.
insert a 1 inch by 1/8 inch cylindrical neo magnet into a six inch tube of slightly larger ID just sufficient to let the magnet slide freely.
insert 1/8" x 1/4" neo magnets in either end of the tube in polarity that repels the 1 inch magnet and contains it between them
insert ventilated stops at either end to prevent the smaller magnets from escaping.
attach vacuum/flow tubes to either end.
observe the 1 inch magnet is held in the middle by the other 1/8 x 1/4 magnets but acts as a flow meter from the center mark
so far so good
the meter is wonderfully sensitive, and maddeningly sensititve to pulsation.
Is there any means other than friction dampening the 1 inch magnet to dampen its movement against pulsation?
