Helmholtz resonators
Helmholtz resonators
(OP)
I am familiar with helmholtz resonators in an engines air intake plumbing but can anybody point me to a online reference of how they work and the theory behind helmholtz? I imagine them working sort of like a capacitor, absorbing the pressure spikes in the intake system, but i have also seen some located before the air filter, and they are not very well sealed to the air intake piping so i'm wondering how they actually do anything.

I hope this helps and of course I may be wrong...as usual.

Take a look at How to Build Horsepower Vol. 2, by David Vizard. There are other books as well but this should give you the broad strokes.
