Leon,

 Well in past discussions on the topic I have certainly expressed doubts but I dont think I ever said I KNOW it CANT work. And I probably did say that in my opinion it wont be definitively proven until one flies. I'll stick to that. But your dyno testing will certainly add another data point and short of an actual flight test I guess its the best that can be done. It's a shame none of the guys currently flying with known cooling system configurations can be talked into doing some comparison testing of an EWP.

 There was some testing done by someone (cant remember who) recently that proved the math of certain rocket scientists was out to lunch. Somebody did some bench testing and measured flow rates for an EWP and those rates were real close to published flow rates for the stock Mazda pump without the astronomical current draw that had been previously claimed by some.

 So I remain curious to see how this works out. I probably wouldnt swap my stock Mazda pump at this point in time because I know it will work. One less variable in the early testing phase. But an EWP may be  worth testing at some future point after my basic installation is flying and debugged if you and others are successful.

Hi Mike,

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
