Just to let you know that things ARE happening apace, but no where near as rapidly as I had oriiginally envisaged. I've been spreading myself a bit TOO thin lately. To that end, I've just quenched several irons. In all likelihood, I'll finally get around to fitting the EWP to my mule RX7 S III sometime in the next week or so. I've been waiting to do an engine swap. Just last Sunday, I assembled an engine for some serious ground testing, but it first needs to be carefully run- in. Once it's bedded in, I can stick the thing on a chassis dyno and tune it. So probably another month or so before I have EWP car data. However, seeing that the naysayers already KNOW they DON'T and CAN'T work, why on earth would they be interested in practical tests anyway? They KNOW they don't work!! I mean, all you have to do is "run the numbers"!! (}:>) The consensus of several exponents of Theoretical Intergalactic Rocket Science have already PROVEN that they can't work!! (}:>) Further, someone also said in a post (might possibly have been you Mike??) that they wouldn't believe any of this anyway until they saw it actually work in a flying aeroplane, no matter how MUCH data was collected in a car or on a dyno. So be it. Those of that opinion will just have to wait until one is actually flying. Cheers Mike, Leon Best Wishes & Kindest Regards, Leon Promet Aerota.com leon@aerota.com 0408 223 675
