You can screw this up though as paul yaw wrote about. Think of the inside air (not the laminar air) like tubing behind a boat. When you make a quick(radius) yet not abrupt(90) turn the tube is going much faster than the boat. If you make a 90 degree turn the boat nearly stops and the tube does the same shortly after. The oppisite happens with a large radius. Not engough sling shot and the air moves slower


Love the analogy of tubing behind a boat! And yeah I agree...

these are cheap:

i just got a whole setup for $50



it'll be killer for visualising what the air is doing--especially around the port closing edge.



if the closing edge is radiused, and the upper part of the port (closest to the corner seal) is extended just a little beyond the inner part, the air can actually make a little swirl.

Swirl is good, Dave.

oh yea, another thing i was playing with is the renesis rotors with the notch on the sides. those really intensify the effect.



as the rotor travels over the port closing edge, the air makes a turn from a rather linear path to going almost straight up. i'll try to get some videos of it--looks almost like the beginnings of a little dust devil.

i got my smoke machine in today



now i'm gonna get some lexan and make a see-through rotor housing so i can watch how the air reacts inside the chamber with the rotor in different positions.
