100% of the opposing crank pin and web structure plus approximately 50% of the reciprocating rod/piston mass
But, since this is exactly the method for (completely different) 90° V8.....?
I've been back and forth on this, and found not only conflicting data and answers, but strange geometric reasoning.
1. "the pad radius is the long (valve-side) lever arm length", but (if true) why are there so many shorter exceptions?
2. "the radius is the valve lift" (no reason given)
3. "as...
I'm trying to get a better understanding of how an L6 crankshaft is balanced (not what it does).
Searches turn up nothing useful, including such gems as "in-line engines do not have balance weights" (what's that big thing opposite the pin?), and that L6 engines do not require balance factor...
Thanks for explaining what a supercharger is.
Re: "straight-lobe-profile-rotor".
I see that you're not familiar with Eaton. The MP62 (and all others in the M series) have 60° helixed rotors.
The newer Eaton MP blower no longer uses a simple triangle for a discharge port, like this shown on an older M62
But now resembles a NACA duct, like this MP62:
1. is this correct?
2. not only is the area different (perhaps smaller) and L/W ratio far different, and covers a different...
Re: "That quote is utter rubbish. The amount of reflection back from a change in area is proportional to the ratio of the area change. As such, a pipe that terminates into the open air will have a very strong reflection."
I think the author of the quote is confusing recovered energy from a...
I've seen many comments that any reduction in tappet, pushrod or rocker short side lever weight has almost no effect on determining spring rate and RPM.
This must, IMHO, be due to the amplified movement of the long-side bits (valve, collar, locks, lash cap, long lever) by the rocker ratio...
I'm a complete novice with drive methods. I'm attempting to drive an Eaton supercharger at about 3X speed off the clutch shell of a motorcycle. The original Eaton drive is serpentine multi-groove pulley/belt, but I have no source for a pulley larger enough to fit around the clutch (min. ID...
