I don't see what the fuss is all about, all he did was find a RAYR JAIL-BAWR THUNDARBAWLT.

Do I spy a spa blower that you are using for the supercharger?

It's a bank teller pneumatic tube system blower.
It came from my bank here in Allen when they replaced the system.
I gave it to Mike when the bought the chopper/rotator from me.

Do you know where a guy might find a couple more of those? I want to replicate that BumbleBolt setup for one of my 1003s.

Yeah, those little blowers work great. I needed to seal the output plenum since they were originally designed to pull a vacuum. They are a centrifugal compressor though, there's a diffuser in there that slows down the air and builds pressure unlike a blower vac or anything like that.
Eric, didn't you run 2 of those in parallel on a thunderbolt once?

That's exactly what I had in mind if I could get two of them! That'd really wake the 1003 up!

No NO !! Not me!!! I would never do such a horrible thing.......

Not sure why the firewood is piled there.....

Here's phase one of the experiment that I would never ever do.....


This nonsense must have been going on when I was rebuilding the sirens for Valley View. Ahhhhhhh the good ole' daze.....
Notice the chopper motor wire coming out of the chopper housing pipe thread hole....

Wow Eric look at all the empty space you had in your garage back then.

Yeah. Really. I was thinking the same thing.

An aside. Where did "Jailbar" come from?
Weren't we calling them Bar Grill Thunderbolts? Maybe I'm mistaken.
It's not really a jailbar. If it had only 2 or 3 vertical bars then that would be a jailbar. I think it also has another set of bars down further into the horn doesn't it.
