Aero-Turbine exhuast?

[Legacy]

I know this should be in the other forum but know one looks at them.
Any one buy or hear anything about there exhuast?
There websites www.Aero-turbine.com
I want to get a Delta 50, i've never heard of Aero turbine before. just curious?

anyone?

Never heard of it before. Checked out the website. Sounds like snake oil to me. I majored in physics in college, and I have a pilot's license, so I'm pretty familiar with how Bernoulli's Principle works, but I couldn't make heads nor tails out of the pseudo-scientific double-talk on their website.

I agree that it sounds a bit too good to be true. Firstly, they reference information related to Bernoulli's prinicple without really explaining how it applies in this situation. I took this from their website: "The outer airflow velocity is increased due to the increased distance the outer air must travel." That statement is common to misunderstandings about the Bernoulli effect, and implies that the "inner" and "outer" air must somehow "stay together". In other words, the "outer air" must stay in line with the "inner air" and that is why the "velocity is increased", since the outer air has more distance to travel. This implication is simply not how it works. Read up on airflow here to learn more about how the Bernoulli principle really works. http://www.av8n.com
The other thing that is missing from their website is any evidence of their largest claim, that: "AeroTurbine® performance mufflers are the first exhaust products to actually accelerate the flow of exhaust through the exhaust system and away from the engine." The way I see it, all they would have to do to back up that claim is to set up a video demonstration of an airspeed sensor in the exhaust system before and after the muffler. If it really accelerates the gases, then it would be plain as day. It would show a faster airspeed following their muffler. Since this test would be extremely easy to set up in order to prove their claims, why do they not show it? My guess, is that its a bunch of fancy pseudoscientific mumbojumbo designed to better market their overpriced shiny bling-tubes. Then again, I am a psychotherapist, not a physicist, and could be totally out to lunch. Just my 2 cents.

sounds like another tornato. they will get every one that doesnt know better
