Trev, purely academically, would I be right in thinking that the pic above shows that - assuming all the holes in that perimeter plate were completely identical - ........... there seems to be more gas pressure from the right hand n2o inlet pipe ?
It's a bit hard to say if that is the case, as there are other MESSED UP factors that could make it 'appear' that way.
The poor machining is causing some plumes to flow in a different direction to what is intended and needed to make it look like the pressure is even. The burrs caused by the machining are causing the plumes to suffer from patchy differences in density. Add these 2 factors to the inherent poor distribution characteristics of the 'concept' and it's no wonder that the plumes 'appear' to be stronger on the right than the left but I would be surprised is the pressure was the actual cause, as that is likely to be the ONLY EVEN aspect of the plate.
This plate design would be bad enough IF the plumes didn't collide with each other and it would be bad enough if all the plumes collided in the same way at the same angles but to have them colliding at different angles and to have them all colliding in different ways and SOME suffering multiple collision, it can only result in;
1) HORRENDOUS DISTRIBUTION
2) HORRENDOUS TURBULENCE OF THE NORMAL AIRFLOW
I just wish this ASSHOLE would accept my challenge to put my Spider or Scorpion up against his piece of JUNK, so his FLOCK OF FOOLS could see how little he knows about nitrous.
