What the heck is this? snake oil?

Working this issue now...

Doug,



If you search the forums, there was a lively debate about this muffler last month. I don't know that any resolution was reached, but it makes for interesting reading at the least...

Ok, Thanks Adam



I have been off the TDR for while,So I must have missed out on alot of stuff... . Late to the Huddle again as usual...



The Muffler or what ever it is looks bogus to me... .

Market the thing in good 'ol english and I bet it won't sound good at all.

Quoted from the brochure

There I'm Done ... . Now I just haddah post on it being the last thread I held back but after reading it again I now see the truly fully fueled idiot advertizing machine here on the monitor.











"

Aeroturbine’s cool flow system is based on jet engine

and thermal dynamic technology. It utilizes

induction

axial vortex with a counter rotating expansion radial

vortex, which produces a lower density outer air steam

that flows around a higher density inner air stream . This

creates a vortex vacuum that literally pulls the air off

the piston head and out of the exhaust manifold—

reducing the pressure and allowing the engine to

breath easier. This spools up the turbo faster and

lowers pyrometer exhaust gas temperatures (EGT),

thus dramatically increasing horsepower,

torque and fuel mileage.

Performance test results are based on averages of the

Dodge Cummings 5. 9, Chevy Duramax 6. 6, and Ford

Powerstroke 7. 3 Turbo Diesel. "

After looking at the Inlet/outlet photos,

I notice the sides of the inner liner is perforated. It looks like this would help cool and accelerate the exhaust gases in the center section of the muff. Almost creating a vacuum just behind the Hot turbine of the Turbo Charger.

It almost looks like the inside of a "Can Annular" Type combustor from a Alison 501K17 Gas turbine engine.



I say, Lets get one and install a fuel line and ignitor in it to create an afterburner for our CTD...



Seriously though, Looking back on my Gas Turbine training in the USN, I think they might have something here.

This thing ranks right up there with that thing that was supposed to get us hundreds of miles ,and some member was going to put it in his Dads truck as he was picked to participate in a try out of this system ,posted pic here ,looked like some junk he found in junk yard . Member was going to post results here , haven't seen them any one remember this and have a up date . All I can say is wow gee-wiz golly gee looks like it sure is what you say it is but my tail pipe is ok Ron in Louisville KY P. S like PT Barnum said there is one borne every day . :-{}

I went straight pipe for $100. Its louder but cooler than the "aeroturbine".



Used the other $175 (won't bother with exchange rates) to buy another toy for the truck.

Yeah I agree, its a Bit "cost prohibitive".



The Extra $175 would buy a USS Junk box for my truck.

I alwas thought that as exhaust gas cooled it became denser and slowed down, did this vendor go and change physics again?



What they're claiming to do can't work, you can't get work done ("pulling the air off the piston head") without expending energy. Expending energy ALWAYS results in loss of efficiency due to friction, heat or resistance.



If you really want the best "theoretical" exhaust, get a 5" stainless steel (best reasonably priced material), straight through set up. Then wrap it in insulating material to keep the gas velocity at peak speed.



Or, hook up a really big vacuum to it!
