The whole concept of science projects is dumb, if you think of it like a bunch of kids trying to prove something already in books. So I have respect for dezerte for trying something, just to learn on his own.

I never thought someone would actually try it....Anyway, this thread is basically done...Unless someone has something constructive to say, it's over. I can totally see it turning into a major crapfest.

Aaron: Sorry for posting, but i had to add my two cents.

Dezerte: Hey. Ya tried something new. Who cares if it didn't work, you had fun right?
There was a GIANT flamewar over this subject (search for "airpump supercharger") .. I forget who's idea it was but I feel really sorry for the poor guy because he got flamed soooo badly.

There's nothing wrong with having an idea, even if it's a bad one. I bet mr. wankel got flamed for his "rotating triangle engine"...

Yes, but his engine obeyed the laws of physics and was scientifically sound...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

LOL this mod is hilarious. However, nothing wrong with trying. I will say you are rather inventive. The main problem is that you don't have any kind of closed boost system. Theres no "gate" to keep any boost in even if you could build some. Other than that, the air pump doesn't put out enough air.
