Ram air actually slows the rotor down, as it adds resistance, provided that the rotor has straight blades in relation to its back wall.Robert Gift wrote:I doubt the motor is capable of 2 hp.
I would expect ram air to spin the rotor, therefore prolonging wind-down.
But ram air definitely increases volume output.
I'm hoping to bring my squirrel cage blower to "super charge" the 2t22
and see if it makes a difference.
I would not pipe the air because the 2t22 make suck in more air than the squirrel cage blower is capable of putting out.
But I will blow the air up into the 2t22 bottom intake tube.

I wonder if our lower humidity and air density at 5,200 feet allows longer wind-down? Haven't done any calculations.coreyhudson2 wrote:Those are some good bearings!From peak RPM it takes 2 minutes, 38 seconds to slow to full stop.
Are you powering it by an
AR timer, or by light-switch to relay?
