Looks like the concept uses the "argumentation" of the exhaust gas to pull cool air through the inner tube. Fastest velocity would be at the "venture", so should suck that cool air. It appears similar to the idea used in marine exhaust about pumping cooler water into the exhaust system to "disrupt" the transmission of sound energy. Do you have any concern about a "choked Flow" condition existing near the point where the system narrows down??

The smaller muffler is a variant on the cool tube theme, with the bounce panel added. The Jabaru uses a muffler of this style without the cool tube, and it's very quiet. I think the cool tube is a good idea on the rotary to help control temps. The second set of JPEGS is the original VAM concept. Note that the layout is setup for a 20B since that is what I'll be running. The pic with the text shows where the idea was "got wrong" for the test unit. I believe ED K. did a good job of building it but then they ran it sans tailpipe which skewed the result. > Bill Jepson > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > >> Homepage: http://www.flyrotary.com/ > >> Archive: http://lancaironline.net/lists/flyrotary/List.html >
