Time to replace the Hi-clone

I'm happy to collect list of members wishing to join buy.

ALSO, with the electric turbo, the air will be suitably swerled, so considering taking HiCyclones for trade.

Just reply to this message, and add your name and quantity to the end.

Absolutely, did you notice the fine aerodynamic shape of the vanes in the electric super-turbocharger? So much aeronautical engineering to achieve that shape in such a small space, they must work for NASA, maybe its out of the Skunkworks? :o

Could we consider a triple package for those of us without the Hiclone?

Ooh ooh ooh!! He's even gotta my name on him! If I put one on the exhaust pipe and use the little DC motor as a generator connected to another one on the air intake......

I had a Kombi that ran for years on the residual energy from John Bonham's legendary half-hour drum solo in The Song Remains the Same.

Yeah, does have a certain smell about it.

Buyers with hi clones fitted would be advised to check which way the hiclone is swirling the air. There is potential for saving to be nullified if the electric turbo is swirling the air one way but the hiclone swirls it the other way thus cancelling each other out.

with both the turbo-supercharger and super-turbogenerator connected at the same time, it would be like a perpetual motion engine! :o

You would have to install a really strong isolator switch, otherwise you'd never be able to turn off the engine. :cool:

I think Peter Brock was pushing similar gizmos on his Holdens.

Make sure you get one optimized for the southern hemisphere or you will have problems with the earths coriolis effect decreasing the efficiency of the swirling action.

What I think you should be really careful of isn't the nullified effect but the opposite, like a standing wave they can cancel or double. I think I now know how those sink holes appear and its got nothing to do with ground water erosion.

The swirling issue is not a problem in the new improved model as they have modified the bedester board to compensate depending on which planet you are on.

I sent the vendor a question regarding the opposite magnetic field we have down here in Oz... Oddly, it has'nt appeared on his listing, nor has he replied.
Maybe the message got it's polarity reversed on the way up and it was received as a 'statement' and not a question.

Then there's the Coanda Effect over the vanes, that once again my be opposite to that experienced in Europe.
