Ah, if I just had the time for all the things I would like
to do, Thomas. Bill Schertz has been after me to instrument my
ducts with pressure sensors for years. There is no doubt data could
possibly help - but even then you have to be careful. Testing a theory on
a poorly implemented test set-up could just as easily lead to a false wrong
conclusion or ... humm, wonder what that means?.
Early on in my life (first year in college physics lab) I
realized that I was not cut out to be a scientist - repeating the same
experiment over and over and writing down page after page of numbers (data) just
did not ring my chimes. At that point, it became clear I was more suited
to engineering - yes, data and testing is also required there - but its
more focused on refining a design than proving a theory. At least
that is my perspective.
I know some folks would rather gather data and analyze it
than build - but, just not my cup of tea {:>)

Thanx Ed!
Now for your next
experiment:
Buy a couple of lipstick cameras, drill some
holes into your ducts, but some strings in there and go fly! :)))
Let's see what the airflow does:))
