Subject: [FlyRotary] Augmented exhaust

Greetings,

I've been planning to implement some type of exhause augmentation a la Charlie Airsmans Varieze installation. The only picture I've been able to find is attached.  It looks like there's some kind of "ball" welded into the end of the exhaust pipe.  Perhaps this helps mix the exhaust with the air being sucked down the shroud.

 

Has anyone seen this gizmo up close? If so, could you describe what's going on at the end of the exhaust pipe? Got any better pictures?

Regards,

John Slade
